Yes the old guy actually has some common sense

[juldepomme]

"it takes 9 pregnant women, 9 months to carry out 9 babies - how long does it take for 100 pregnant women to carry out 100 babies...?"
"100 months?" 🤪

[GrimmBones]

He started the question, and my thought was "Does each machine make 5 doughnuts, or do they all collectively make 5?".

[superfox]

The answer is 5 minutes. The fact that it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 donuts means that it takes 5 minutes to make each donut. So that means that if 100 machines were making 1 donut each to have a total of 100 donuts, it would still take 5 minutes.

That is unless I’ve misunderstood the question and the initial proposition is referring to 5 donuts PER machine. So I guess this falls down to how you interpret the question.

Tbf most people’s brain turns off when you shove a camera and mic in their face.

The smartest guy is the old man with an impeccable sense of style.

[Lou-hwdd]

The question's wording is well-intentioned, but, a simple "at the same time" would probably have cleared this one up for at least half the group.

Old guy was the smartest, love his explanation too

[samwilbur]

It's called math anxiety. If I'm asked any simple math problem (or something resembling one), in a public space I go into survival mode.

The real stupid guy is the one who created a donut machine that can only create one donut at once

[xander]

It would still take 5 minutes to make 100 donuts with 100 machines.

- 5 machines can make 5 donuts (1 donut/machine * 5 machines) in 5 minutes.
- Similarly, 100 machines can make 100 donuts (1 donut/machine * 100 machines) in the same 5 minutes.

It's like having multiple faucets filling containers. If each faucet takes 5 minutes to fill a container, using more faucets won't magically fill them any faster.

The old "wise" man- "Experience, son, Experience" 😇😁

[godofthecripples]

The anxiety of being asked this in a public situation on the spot and on camera definitely impacts people's ability to answer the question confidently

[MohsenAzk]

The old man was right, if 5 machines can make 5 donuts in 5 minutes, then each machine can make 1 donut in 5 minutes. Therefore, 100 machines can make 100 donuts in the same 5 minutes

The dude dressed like a Jedi was well versed in mind games

[yoyoyofool]

Bro I just woke up. Don’t do this to me

[Amcor]

"Did those 5 machines produce 5 doughnuts in parallel or in serial?" is the appropriate response.

[MrBracey]

That last guy was like, why are you even asking such a simple question.

[harmony]

love how this many people are so understanding and not blatantly insulting because this was not filmed in the US

[brucecombs]

The question distracts you with thoughts of, "Yummy, doughnuts!"
