He mis-worded #2. The answer to his question is obviously 3. 3 candles remain LIT. That should be obvious. But if the question was how many candles REMAIN, it would be 7, because the 3 that kept burning would melt given time.
2. Easy: if there are 10 lit candles, and all but three of them go out, there are now three that are lit.
3. Also easy once you get it. The number of germs double every second, meaning that if it takes 60 seconds for one germ to duplicate itself to fill the whole jar, then at 59 seconds, the jar is half full. If two germs start in the jar, then they will take 59 seconds to fill the whole jar. Therefore, it will only take a second shorter.
but the number of germs doesn't actually double every second... the double of 4 is 8, not 16.
i have thought about this riddle for a while now, and the 16 (or rather the missing 8) makes it impossible for me to solve it. could it be that the uploader of this video made a mistake writing it?
He probably made a mistake writing it: the next number is 32, which is the double of 16. I've actually seen this problem before, and I'm sure he just forgot the 8.
To get started, realize that S has to equal 1, since the maximum sum of two four digit numbers can never equal 20000. Next, realize that I has to be 0, since I can either be 1 or 0 because it is impossible for I to be greater than 1 due to the low thousands place in the first number of the sum. From there, it pretty much guess and check using the fact that the same place digits have to have a sum of greater than ten to ensure a different number for O since O = N - 1
It is very possible. Math is objective, but there are many answers especially if variables are involved.
The answer I got was from guess and check after systematically narrowing down the number of variables, and making equations from the remaining variables. You may not have started guessing and checking with the same numbers I got (or indeed, started with a new method altogether), but your answer is just as valid as mine.
@venescas wrong! this answer is not possible since variables side by side imply multiplication. if 1=s, 0=i etc... your answer shows 126 + 0 = 0... which is clearly incorrect
@kvn89 except the letters aren't variables, they are placeholders for each of the numbers, which is completely different; they simply represent different numbers.

#2 is easy, 3 candles are lir...#3) is easy if u know logarithm, since its an exponential function i used 2^60=2*2^t and isolate for t like this:
log(2^60/2)/(log2)=59 seconds

1 is easy just needs time, and a paper and a pencil. 9058+1673=10731, it works :)

#2 is 3 candles, not seven. You might as well straight up say straight up that there are 3 candles remaining.

@sexymanfrombigjapan no, 3 candles are still lit, the question tells you that. The question is redundant.

is it possible that there is more than one answer to this? i got 1453+9078 = 10531 and that also seems to be correct.
