"You can stand on the beams and just walk across in the middle... while that's true to some degree... the problem here is that you'll get shot." Truer words have never been spoken. If you upset the VIPs with a boring game, heads will roll.

[addictionsucks]

The problem with the tug of war strategy is it relies heavily on traction, and you're not going to get that on grass. If you notice when they went down all of them were sliding. Compare that to the experiment on concrete where they just slowly stumbled forward. Not doubting that the results would be the same, but voicing my concern for the method.

[DarkSol]

24:47 Glass usually shatters because there is already a microscopic crack in it and an external force causes the crack to spread.
I'm not a glass maker, but I think deliberately making a flaw like this in the glass is possible.
Or they could use breakaway glass that is used in movies and shatter them manually when they step on the wrong one.

[calebwee]

For the tug of war strategy, it's actually how professional players do it. There are 2 problems with the test:
1. The players lie back and stay in position FIRST before it starts, and you don't just lie down, you hold on to it with ALL your strength.
2. It works because of the surface, grass has NO friction whatsoever, not sure how cement affects it but professional games are played on rubber-like surfaces

But to your credit the actors in the show didn't bend low enough. Professional players go WAY lower from what I've seen. So yes, it probably wouldn't work either way

[shadowsnake]

I, this man basically showed that being a turtle is the best strategy here, as you could easily pass all the physical ones through that alone.

[integza]

The length of the average dead guy is still a better unit than inches

[adrianopellegrinello]

another strategy for the first game that most people missed, is that the head turns counter clockwise, so staying on the right side of the course gives you more time as the head is turning away from you.

[lancenocturna]

Admittedly, due to the weird translation in English, you wouldn't know this, but in the original Korean version, there's a rhythm to Red Light, Green Light. Because she goes through a little song during the Green Light Phase, you can time your steps to that, which is what Il Nam was doing.

[tuanhuynguyen]

I like your strategies in the video but I just want to point out in the first game is that in the original squid game, instead of "red light, green light", the doll actually said "mugunghwa kkochi pieot seumnida" (which is like counting from 1 to 10) so the players could anticipate when the doll is going to turn around, so i think a good strategy is to sprint in the first few seconds and then quickly slow down and use your strategy to stabilize when the doll turn around. (Obviously the best one is to avoid being in debt and avoid playing the game)
(Sorry for my bad English)

[Wonton-the-Sea-Snail]

one thing thats been HEAVILY implied is that any strategy you implement is allowed. the only things against the rules are anything that explicitly say and collaborating with the employees (because the employees were already told to not work with them)

there was no rule against smuggling in supplies, people just assumed such a feat was impossible. thats why noone got in trouble for smuggling stuff like a knife or a lighter. this is super important because you have to utilize everything they DONT mention

[rascal]

For the following strategy in Red Light Green Light, you also have to worry about the person you’re following messing up and getting shot cause the bullets could go through their body and hit you too

[TOGCMelon]

I think the glass panels one isn't really possible still because at the end of the timer, all the panels shatter/explode, meaning the game masters probably have control over making each individual panel break. They could just as easily smash a panel remotely if they're not MEANT to stand on it.

[HowToBeatYT]

Glad you liked the Nim strategy for marbles, this video is awesome!

[imjustsensitive-]

For the sound test of tempered glass, because of the internal stresses the pitch on various locations of the glass should be different, meaning the first one you dropped the marble on is tempered

[StarrySky]

I like the kneeling strategy. The original Korean dub of Squid Game actually makes the first game easier, as the robot sings the exact same song before turning around. So you can take the knee right before the song ends each time.

[tylerduncanson]

I feel like the challenge of the final game was the fact that both players had knives. That heavily weighs things in the defender's favor.

[JoelCreates]

This is the first squid games themed video that has made me actually want to watch squid games

[dapz]

You need to get better at marbles smh my head

[Samuel-kuqb]

Because I worked with glass for a summer even just during the first watch of the glass-bridge game I could tell nearly every single tempered glass. Just like the old man did, only you don't need to lay down to see the reflection, one is slightly tinted and foggier than the other which is how the glazier could see the difference.

[ProjectLethargic]

red light green light is actually easier than it seems because the length of the song never changes, she never stops early or sings it faster, so if you get the timing down you can easily clear it
