  1. we need a global french revolution right about now

  2. أحمد الشافعى that's super interesting. it seems like another great way to avoid confusion.

  3. so the only thing that distinguishes a democracy from a dictatorship is you get to vote for a candidate roughly every 4 years? i'm glad TED-ed has finally acknowledged this. all government is government by threat of force and actual force.

  4. to think we fully understand the communicative means of other species is simply absurd

  5. the fake coin could be slightly lighter or slightly heavier

  6. Niskinatorn you're literally insane because you're so stupid.

  7. MrMac5150 that's because the actual example is a shitty, or rather, illogical example. just imagine if there were only 2 ppl held hostage. the observer tells the two individuals that at least one of them has green eyes, if nobody leaves that night it's because each of them knew that the other individual had green eyes, which therefore caused each of them to be uncertain as to whether or not their self has green eyes. does that make sense?

  10. you guys should honestly retract this video. it's BS. you're just spreading ignorance

  11. Dr0pkidd white person? i've never met a white person before, yet i have met people with white hair.

  12. +TheCrash1509 i had the same answer. that's what i hate about all of these logic puzzles on ted, the instructions are always fucking garbage and spoil the puzzle.

  13. ***** "...and don't even try saying words other than black or white..." under these conditions one can certainly repeat either black or white multiple times Matthew Cowell the guy at the back just says "Black Black Black" and now everybody knows there are 3 black hats

  14. ***** أحمد الشافعى it would definitely work in spanish since 'and' is 'y' and it's pronounced as ē or "eee" minus the emphasis.

  15. Brian FromSeoul yeah, i actually watched the video. though it's definitely interesting to think about, it's obviously complete bullshit. despite there being no evidence to suggest the earth is flat, there is so much empirical phenomena that suggests it isn't. if the earth were a flat circular plane and the sun rotates above it, why doesn't the sun rise and set at the same time everywhere? i mean, if the earth were a flat circular plane and the sun rotates above it, why isn't it sunny all day long? lol

  16. Brian FromSeoul that makes no sense? a flashlight shining downwards from above illuminates whatever is underneath it. analogies will only get you so far. if that were indeed the case, that the sun rotates above the earth, the sun would always remain in view. you (still?) believe the flat earth theory?

  19. Cake is right. your instrument is just as likely to be in a loop (if that loop even happens to have 5 consecutive stops) as it is to not be in a loop.

  23. أحمد الشافعى the El in spanish is also a definite article, the masculine definite article.

  24. Jonathan Jonsson damn ppl in general

  25. Ameer A additionally, of course the aliens know theyre signaling, otherwise there would be no need for a 5 minute meeting beforehand. if everybody is simply guessing, no strategy is involved
    3
  26. Ameer A i mean, they don't explicitly state that you're only allowed to say the word once, so i don't see the problem. if it's a matter of perception (of the aliens), you could just tell them the guy in the back has Tourette's syndrome and hence, once again, it appears to the aliens that everyone is guessing.

  27. ***** exactly. but to these sorts of people the big bang theory was the beginning and is the end. they can't fathom the possibility of the big bang theory being usurped by a more accurate model. and yet this is how science actually progresses and has progressed. where are the boundaries of space and time? the big bang theory? lol unbelievable

  28. Alex Gregory god, why are like 99% of riddles posted online incredibly flawed? :*[

  29. Eddie you're wrong. in the video we are directed to calculate the probability of surviving if we go to clearance on the left or to the stump on the right. the one condition for survival is that there must be a female frog. we know 1 our of 2 frogs in the clearing on the left is male, whereas the sex of the other one is unknown; we also are unaware of the sex of the frog on the stump to the right. therefore, either way, whether you go to the clearing on the left or the stump on the right, it's 50/50. the only situation, in which the "possibilities" of MF and FM are effectively unique and meaningful, is a situation in which you only had time to lick 1 out of 2 frogs if you headed towards the clearing, in addition to being unaware of which frog out of the two is male. nonetheless, the video states that you will be licking both frogs if you go towards the clearing on the left, hence this isn't the situation.

  30. you think it's effecting the profits of the film industry? go double check how much they used to make and how much they're making now.
    2
  31. i'm not using the fact that they make a lot of money to justify it. i simply pointed out that despite piracy they still blatantly make exorbitant profits. however, piracy is nonetheless justified by the fact that once you sell somebody something, they should be able to do whatever the fuck they wanna to do with it; they should be able to share the product which they purchased with whoever the fuck they want to share it with... don't sell me a chicken and then try to tell me who i'm allowed to share that chicken with. it's really that simple.

  32. Albert Zhang never heard of it, though the way that sounds reminds me of a lot different movies lol link? honestly, it's a terribly expressed "thought experiment" or whatever you'd like to call it

  33. Insanity is Sanity why do you think we are stationary? and also why do you think a globe cannot be stationary?

  36. David Williams I don't need to do that experiment. How about you do this experiment: a. Get 4 pennies. b. Place 2 heads-up and the other 2 tails-up. c. Remove 1 heads-up penny from the group (this will be your Male). d. Put on a blindfold. e. Mix up the remaining 3 pennies. d. Remove 1 penny from the group while still blindfolded. e. Distribute 1 of the 2 remaining pennies to the left. f. Distribute the last penny to the right. g. Remove your blindfold. f. Repeat steps A to G 100,000 times and hopefully you'll be able to understand that your odds are still roughly 50/50 due to the fact that you're more likely to remove 1 tails-up (Female) from the remaining 3 in order to form the set, since 2/3 are tails-up (Female), which leaves you with 2 unknown pennies, 1 of which is likely heads-up, 1 of which is likely tails-up.

  38. احمد يونس well, now apparently 'democracy' means 'choosing leaders by voting' lol but even despite that definition there still isn't a single government whereby every agent/official is elected. welcome to the slave planet

  39. the GBO vlogger the relevant condition is "don't even try saying words other than black or white"; there isn't a restriction on how many times you can repeat "black" or "white"
    2
  40. the GBO vlogger wow, ppl on YT are so dense. "black black black" or "white white..." are viable answers--plain and simple. please show me where it says "you can only say one word once".

  41. +0X0Patrick0X0 the two deceivers could hide in a pathway that's a dead end, making it seem that they left through an exit thus deceiving the others

  42. Adam Thornton if you are deliberately stuck somewhere--say, on an island--with 99 other people, all of whom have green eyes, you know that at the very least 99/100 have green eyes. now, since we can't be sure of our own eye color, let's simply exclude ourself from the equation; if we exclude ourself from the equation for a moment, we know that 99 other people--all of whom have green eyes--know for certain that at the very least 98/99 people have green eyes since they can't see their own eyes. 98/99 is what each of them perceive. 99/99 is the reality for each of them. bearing that in mind, if i know for certain that at the very least 99/100 have green eyes since i can't see my own eyes, what are the chances i myself have green eyes? 99/100 is what i perceive. 100/100 is most certainly the reality. i think the chance of you not having green eyes is 0.0001% or something similar, but i could be wrong but it should never be that complex of a process to begin with anyway. if you are deliberately stuck somewhere with 99 other people, all of whom have green eyes, the chances you also have green eyes is through the roof

  43. ScottybugU2B An even better clue would be 'At most one of you has non-green eyes', which would allow the prisoners to leave on night two instead of night three.

  44. media for widespread exposure is a form of power, it would seem.

  45. David Williams yes, consecutively selecting a M and then a F, or a F and then a M, from a pool in which 50% are male and 50% are female, whereby the sex of ALL frogs is unknown, is twice as likely as selecting a M and then another M consecutively, or twice as likely as selecting a F and then another F consecutively. NONETHELESS, you already know 1/2 is male. Hence the chance of the other frog being male or female is 50%, no more or less. The other frog is not less likely to be male simply because the other frog is male.

  46. If you had two dice, and you had to roll two consecutive 6s, the probability of doing that is 1/36. However, if all you needed was two 6s and one dice was already 6, the probability of rolling another 6 is independent from the first roll and therefore the probability of rolling a 6 in one roll is 1/6.

  47. nobody's ever done or observed it, but it must be true since we have a quantum mechanical principle!!! lol

  48. +abledbody It's still 50/50 because this ratio was established as a condition in the beginning for ALL frogs. You CANNOT discount the 3rd frog, which is on its own; The 3rd Frog is STILL information that has to be accounted for, even though it's a variable, and even though you choose not to go in that direction in order to lick it. (1) MX | X (2) MX | Y (3) MY | X (4) MY | Y In other words... (1) MM | M (2) MM | F (3) MF | M (4) MF | F If you consider MF | M and FM | M as unique conditions, then you must also consider MM | F and MM | M as unique conditions. You cannot exclude the 3rd frog because the ratio of 50:50 is true for ALL frogs, including just the frogs you choose lick. :]

  50. the brain itself IS the network. more specifically, the conduits of the brain through which electricity flows are the network that mirrors our perceptual reality, which is a synthesis of the material and the ideal interacting with itself.
