Can you solve the cuddly duddly fuddly wuddly riddle? - Dan Finkel

You’ve promised to get your son the cutest creature in creation: the cuddly. Can you outsmart the cuddly incubator and go home a hero?

--

You’ve promised to get your son the cutest creature in creation: the cuddly. It’s part of the Wuddly species, cousin to the terrifying duddly and the hideous fuddly. To make one, 100 eggs are placed in an incubator to undergo egg fusion, and the resulting combination will produce either a cuddly, a duddly or a fuddly. Can you make the right combination to get a cuddly? Dan Finkel shows how.

TED-Ed Video title: Can you...
Me: No, but I'll watch it anyway

"It will bond with you on sight"
*Doesn't bond to son*

[nommingmochi]

if the duddlies and fuddlies were friendly i wouldn’t mind them tbh

[oxslade]

"It takes 100 eggs to make a single animal in genus Wuddy"
Me: EXTINCTION

[iennternet]

Little did she know that her son was secretly into fuddlys

[grmph]

Honestly, I couldn't even read the title

Step 1: Confirm that the Cuddly has green eyes.
Step 2: Ask the other two eggs to leave.

[lunarmoon]

teded: what color egg do u add?
me, completely on impulse and without any actual thought to the puzzle: blue
teded: the answer is blue!
me: im a genius

[andypang]

Don’t u think the wizard would be more successful in selling if he told everyone what egg they had to add to the incubator

[thecommentdoggo]

*Straight answer:*
NO, I can't solve Cuddly, duddly, Fuddly, wuddly *Riddly*

"never feed it after midnight"
(my cuddly starving after its 3rd week after midnight)

[Mr_Pigeon]

i found a very easy solution : take the extra blue egg you were given at the start and make a run for it

[drainbowthedragon]

“Never feed it after midnight”

Cuddly: Guess I’ll die

[-ZH]

Isn’t it technically always after midnight or never after midnight?

[yuzari]

Step one: confirm you have green eyes
Step two: take the blue egg the shopkeeper gave you and leave

[sugarcuts]

“Never feed it after midnight”
Isn’t it kinda always after midnight???

[decidueyefan]

Son: dad I want a cuddly
Me: ok I’ll get u one
The shopkeeper: make sure the last egg is blue
Me: ... sorry son ur getting a fish, daddy’s not smart enough for this

[eduardsfetcu]

Shopkeeper: Never feed it after midnight
Me: The time is always after midnight

*Shopkeeper has left the chat*

"The terrifying Duddly"
who else was reminded of Dudley Dursley lol

[josephwood]

I just took the total numbers from each pile and started to subtract eggs from the piles following the rules, until I ended up with two red eggs. Since the color of the egg changes based on which one was not used in the fusion, I used one red and one blue to get purple, then used the red and purple to get a blue.

I have to admit, the way the video did it was much simpler, and a lot more intuitive.
