Can you solve the rogue submarine riddle? - Alex Rosenthal

--

Smuggling yourself aboard the rogue submarine was the easy part. Hacking into the nuclear missile launch override — a little harder. And you’ve got a problem: you don’t have the override code. You know you need the same numbers that were used to authorize the launch, but one wrong answer will lock you out. Can you figure out what numbers to enter to stop nuclear war? Alex Rosenthal shows how.

Well, this is definitely one of our most difficult riddles! Did anyone manage to figure it out? Let us know how you did it ⬇️

I was scuba diving one time in the Indian Ocean and I saw a submarine with minions and a nuclear weapon being launched. I watched this video and was able to stop it. Thanks Ted Ed

[TheTexas]

So the boss didn’t want the minions to know each other’s code, but then nonchalantly tells them how to find it?

[aaronfidelis]

I think the real question is “Why would you secure 2 nuclear lock codes with a single digit?”

[TheBadlandsSandvich]

Normally once they explain how to solve the riddle, I'm able to follow along and go "Oh, that makes sense."

This one, I'm still just as lost as when I pressed play.

[blueghost.]

That boss should have thought twice before giving the codes to minions who are “expert logicians”

[pmuean]

"Can you solve the rogue submarine riddle?"

I know I never can. I just enjoy the video.

[nai_._ya]

Hears the question: **confusion**
Hears the solution: **even more confusion**

[samchiu]

1:36: "6. The minions are expert logicians."

Then why are they stuck as minions?

[dillonfernando]

Difficulty level: master
Ah yes, becouse all of the other riddles are just too easy

[jmbw]

I got a little confused with the “two or more whole numbers” and went with two or more digits per code. Still had fun!

[cosie]

I love that I've watched enough of these to recognize that the minions being able to figure out each other's answer is actually useful information. Still can't solve it, but I'm interested to see how it works in the solution.

[destegiovi]

The real genius here is B, he understood what A's number was in no time. He should get a rise and become the BBEG of the sequel to this video...

[antarctica]

"Can you solve this riddle?"
Of course not, but I'm going to watch this anyways

[cloroxbleach]

*Puts gun to head pointblank*
"What's the code? Don't make me ask twice."
*Nuclear unarmed, world saved.*

[.]

This is only the baby version of the riddle. The original one goes like this:
Two perfect logicians, S and P, are told that integers x and y have been chosen such that 1 < x < y and x+y < 100. S is given the value x+y and P is given the value xy. They then have the following conversation.
P: I cannot determine the two numbers.
S: I knew that.
P: Now I can determine them.
S: So can I.
Given that the above statements are true, what are the two numbers?

[Alkalus]

When Ted-Ed adds the difficulty level to the riddles, I know I am up for the challenge to solve them.

[Y_elloww]

The big boss is the true definition of *”When the villain talks too much about their plans”*

[dashyz]

Plot twist: the boss was not perfectly logical, did a miscalculation, and now you're locked out.
