Hey there! How good are you at math?

[spiffycat]

Thumbnail : only two percent of people can solve this.
Me : Did you mean: Only two percent of bright side workers can solve this?

This man asked what 50% divided by 2 was and then just changed the question to 50% divided by 1/2 when he gave the answer🤦‍♂️

[Synaptic_Synthesizer]

For the last question here is my explanation to the answer: The first term is "1", which is read as "one 1".
The second term is "11", which is read as "two 1s".
The third term is "21", which is read as "one 2 and one 1".
The fourth term is "1211", which is read as "one 1, one 2, and two 1s".
The fifth term is "111221", which is read as "one 1, one 1, two 2s, and one 1".
The sixth term is "312211", which is read as "three 1s, two 2s, and one 1".
The pattern continues by describing the previous term in terms of how many of each digit it contains. For example, the seventh term would be "13112221", which is read as "one 3, one 1, two 3s, three 2s, and one 1".

Therefore, the seventh term in the sequence is "13112221"...

I asked Google what 50% divided by two was and me and Google got 25. So it wasn’t one after all.😮

Uhh #5 the question was divided by 2 and in the answer they changed it to divided by 1/2. 50% divided by 2 is definitely 25%. It would be multiplied by the reciprocal (1/2) not divided by it.

Some riddles aren’t worded right or even correct

[tismeetarora]

Me - *thinking Im soo smart*
Also me - Using a calculator the whole time

[ozgamerab]

As top of a year 8 class, I have gotten all the LOGICAL questions correctly, because I don’t understand how 50%/2 became 0.5/0.5 (yes 50% makes 0.5, but what happened to the 2?)

[inasismail]

3:05 what you said divided by 2 not divided by 1/2 you literally just changed the question

[paulcrewe]

Someone with a brain will understand that some of these don’t make sense and some answers are wrong; it’s as if the test sheet doesn’t match the answer sheet. It reminds me of incompetent tutors.

[bogdanudrescu]

#5 is "What is 50% divided by 2?". However the answer provided is for "What is 50% divided by half (1/2)?"

[molluskmercenaries]

@BRIGHT SIDE, #3 I said three because I could tell it was the answer you were looking for, but when you say this it all depends on the way you annunciate. The way you said it, I would assume there is parenthesis around 2 + 2, otherwise, there should be a pause after the first two. I like math more than english too, but they sometimes work together.

[glutenfreebreadmapping]

#3 is not a math riddle, it's an understanding/terminology riddle. You never specified which way to solve it. Cheap

[choerrim]

3:07 YOU ARE *NOT* DIVIDING BY 1/2, THE QUESTION STATES YOU'RE DIVIDING BY 2. BOTH RESULT IN DIFFERENT ANSWERS SO IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE *25%*

[Logsincos]

Everyone did the last one incorrect. If the sequence is correct, the last number needs to be infinity. The question asks the last number not the next one.

[bjprldd]

I was really happy when I saw that I got 7/9 riddles/puzzles correct!

[nicholaswilley]

#5 didn't say 50% divided by 1/2...It said 50% divided by 2...Sloppy presentation or cheating: I don't know which...

[nickronca]

Why would you ask "What is 50% divided by 2?" and then do 50% divided by a half instead to get your answer? Yes 50% divided by a half is one because dividing by a half is the same as multiplying by 2 and 100%=1, but you didn't say "divided by a half" you explicitly said "divided by two". So why are we dividing by a half instead? Did the team of writers even proof read their own videos? Very unprofessional.

[RichXZ]

For the last question at 5m42 he reads the wrong number - he leaves out a "1" Mind you he's correct about not knowing the answer as there isn't really enough detail to explain what the sequence is about
