Can you solve the Alice in Wonderland riddle? - Alex Gendler

After many adventures in Wonderland, Alice has once again found herself in the court of the temperamental Queen of Hearts. She’s about to pass through the garden undetected, when she overhears the king and queen arguing that 64 is the same as 65. Can Alice prove the queen wrong and escape unscathed? Alex Gendler shows how.

"Answer the Riddle or you die"

Me: Guess I'll die

[knoweverything]

Moral of story:
Never interfere someone conversation if you don't want to die.

[erindrawsabit]

Alice: You see, Fibonacci numbers-

Red Queen: OFF WITH HER HEAD

[manlingsun]

_Just as things aren't looking too good for Alice, she remembers her geometry..._

Boy, I wish I could do that in a situation where I'm about to lose my head.

[danyelhaskins]

Alice- does the math and proves the queen wrong

right, you're wrong, shut up.

[royalmasterjun]

This reminds me of the old “Infinite Chocolate Bar” trick

[tee-nwvx]

"can alice wrap her head around whats wrong? before she loses it?" KILLED ME LMAO

[nicholasmedich]

I seriously though TED was finally going to tell us why a raven is like a writing desk.

[leonguyen]

Fun fact: The author of Alice in Wonderland was a mathematician and his books are full of math references.

For example, when Alice falls down the hole and begins shrinking, she wonders if she'll eventually disappear or shrink indefinitely. This hints at the concept and definition of a limit.

Just when Alice was about to lose her head, she remembers the chocolate tablet problem that was around the internet a few years ago...

[skyloh]

Matilda’s dad be like if he were the queen: I’M BIG YOUR SMALL I’M RIGHT YOUR WRONG AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

[PendoraBox]

"Can you answer the Alice in the Wonderland riddle?"
Me: I *wonder* how I'll get confused before the actual riddle start

[lexrsnow]

There's only one problem: how will I explain everything I just saw to the Queen?

[DrawBioMed]

*Students complain geometric is useless outside of school.
Queen of Hearts: Hold your head❤️

[minhbui]

Alice at 0:29 : interject the queen without thinking
Also Alice: solve the whole math problem

[myowncomputerstuff]

If Alice is able to solve this puzzle in three seconds while being dragged to her death, she's clearly a prodigy. No wonder she was so bored of her sister's simple history lesson that she fell asleep.

[torch]

alice iq is so high that she thought the Queen is serious about her joke

[shinyagumon]

Since this is Wonderland it's also possible that both are wrong and the true answer is Jabberwocky.

[patrickdrazen]

I thought the riddle was going to be: "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?"

[AJDaniels]

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
*Because Poe wrote on both*
