Показать описание

--

You and your best friend Bill are the greatest bards in the kingdom— but maybe not the brightest. Your hit song has insulted the king and now you’re slated for execution. Luckily, Death is a connoisseur of most excellent music and has decided to give you a chance to escape your fate. Can you beat him at a life-sized game of Snakes and Ladders and live to sing another day? Shravan S K shows how.

"-theyre not the brightest-" well theyre definitely brighter than me

viiranen

i like how according to this they somehow wrote an epic song about snakes and ladders

youjustgotgooped

Fun fact = The chances to actually roll these sequences needed without magic dices are 1 in 7776 each.
Chances for both of them to get out alive without magic dice are 1 in 60, 466, 176.

0:45 I like how they are just happily vibing to the music not like theyre about to take part in a game that defines whether they die or not

Bold of you TED-Ed, trying to trick me into doing maths.

*Unfortunately, they're not the brightest*
Also them: Figures out a ted-ed ridle

ayaanz

You clearly mentioned that the musicians weren't the brightest, so them solving this puzzle is almost impossible

raptorthegamer

Anyone else noticed the fact that when the reaper said “oh and btw” at the end of his explanation of the rules, he probably realized that the solution share a similar path, so he added the disappearing rule at the end to make it more challenging for the dudes.

If this isn’t a coincidence then we’ll played

And I thought my whole childhood that I have to avoid snakes.

I solved in reverse, starting from the top and going down. I figured there are only two set of stairs that can lead you to 100 hundred within a six dice throw. The "complicated" part was discerning which route could work if the other one goes first, but there is only one possible solution so i eventually figured it out (to my understanding at least)

This would be a great puzzle to solve with a computer program. So many things to consider (1) how to model the initial setup, (2) how to modify the model to make snakes and ladders disappear, (3) optimizing the search strategy, etc.

Instructions unclear: Death didn't play snakes and ladders with me when I died

jovansoh

Me: can't solve the riddle
Also me: "Guess I'll die!"

This is the easiest one I came across. My only hiccup was thinking about the "ladders and snakes disappear after one use" rule as only pertaining to ladders. It's also like 4am and I'm tired. But this is still the only TED riddle I've solved on my own.
