Video Brain Teaser #1

[firechiic]

Heres one :A person bets he can sing a song with any name. A person agrees, and the person signing won. how?

ANSWER:he sang Happy Birthday

[ColoredCandy101]

I Got It Right!!!!!

[missscenequeen321]

or you could brake them all in half and throw away the left overs so ull have 4! im a genius ;D

[videomathtutor]

@missscenequeen321 Breaking not allowed.

[missscenequeen321]

@videomathtutor :( ............. oh well ;)

[tammy19991]

@videomathtutor so wat? either way u'll get a 4 ¬_¬

[bulltank5]

i got it within like 2 seconds cause i do stuff like this all the time

[SuperGlitznglamour]

i thought you just break one  of the sticks in half

[videomathtutor]

@SuperGlitznglamour Nope. That is not allowed. I do say you can only move sticks around. Breaking is not the same as moving around.

[Grove537]

i got both of these at the begging....simple.

[videomathtutor]

@Grove537 I hope you meant: "beginning." I'd hate to see you beg.

[TBAMichelle]

@videomathtutor okay. now that was just mean.

[videomathtutor]

@TBAMichelle What was mean?

[TBAMichelle]

@videomathtutor wow u answer fast.

I was just saying how you answered on of your viewers comments was rather.......harsh. But I guess it depends on how you read it.

[videomathtutor]

@TBAMichelle No, I am not mean in my replies (or try not to be).

[FranxNeto]

Genius play with the words :P

[videomathtutor]

@NancyGray123 Yes, I totally agree your comment was pointless.

[NancyGray123]

@videomathtutor i cant even rememberr what i said >?

[Dramad97]

No sound.

[videomathtutor]

@Dramad97 Video is in mono, not stereo. Sorry about that. Please adjust your sound output. I have ordered a new stereo mic to use for future videos.

[mistermario613]

easy

[ElCholoProductions]

knew it from the beggining i swear

[judgmentwillcome]

is this video meant to be watched by 1st grade students?

[videomathtutor]

@judgmentwillcome No. Most people can try to do these.

[CP661Penguins]

dude you broke my mind! i gotta be your friend!

[TheMentalistish]

I was able to do that one :)

But not the second solution

[HighGuy512]

Hey i got both solutions! :D yay! :P

[badpanda84]

lol yeah breaking the sticks was the first idea that came to my mind

[shigura12]

wooooooooow....lol

[markcole97]

I thought he ment 2 make da 3 sticks into 4 sticks ;P

[Tom31994]

this was easy..lets see the other videos...

[PrincesaTerri]

@videomathtutor , i enjoyed this video, however... (and please don't take this offensively) could you possibly reply to some of the POSITIVE comments too? Not just the negative ones or ones about "breaking the sticks". reading through your comments, I see several compliments on your video without even a simple "thank you" yet you seem very quick to reply to an immature user who tries to frustrate and insult you... just a thought ! ;)))

[videomathtutor]

@PrincesaTerri I do reply to the positive ones that are sent to me via email. I get so many positive ones for my videos, it would be difficult to reply to all here.

Thank you for your comment.

[BluePi1313]

I've seen it in a trickbook before

[ohmyjustinbeiber]

@videomathtutor

u never said we couldnt break the stick!!!!!!!!!!

[videomathtutor]

@ohmyjustinbeiber I don't need to. I plainly state you are to just move the sticks around.

[superskate98]

this is the easiest trick i have ever seen!!!!!!

[clairebear12344321]

lol i love your hair<i just cut mine off and looking at yours made me cry:(

[Unstr810d]

Nifty. I'm glad I got it.

[supergreatsuper]

Piece of cake

[MrJordan9213]

... i feel dumber waching this...

[RyanKilsch]

Dude there are 3 ways! Take one stick, break it in half and wala there you have 4. :)

[videomathtutor]

Nope. Breaking the stick violates the rules I gave. You can ONLY move the sticks.

[futbolfever90]

@videomathtutor You need to state your rules clearly. 'Rearrange' is too general of a term (breaking falls under this category)

[videomathtutor]

@futbolfever90 Breaking has nothing to do with rearranging. I was clear in the stated rules. If you wanted to rearrange the furniture of your house, does cutting them in half with a chain saw come to mind?

[athenadesirae]

@RyanKilsch  LMAO I agree

[MileyJohnson6669]

you fooled me

[TheNolantherolan]

i cant hearhim!

[videomathtutor]

Video is in mono, not stereo. Adjust your audio on your PC.

[videogame3000000000]

there are technically 5 ways the 2 english 4's the roman numerals and chinese and japanese 4

[videomathtutor]

You cannot make 4 using 3 sticks in Chinese or Japanese. Your "English" ways are really the Arabic-Hindi numeral, and I don't recognize it as two ways, it is either one way, or infinite ways (depending if you count each slight slanting movement as a way to represent 4).

[videomathtutor]

See comment(s) below.

[zapper4457]

there are 3 ways!

[videomathtutor]

No, not really. This is a recording.

[XavierDrake]

pretty slick dude

[iragerty]

cant you just brake one of the sticks to get 4 like really

[videomathtutor]

Nope. Breaking is not the same as rearranging.

[lolofdoom]

@iragerty break*

[999Nikola999]

i know 3 ways to make a nuber 4

[Teh1337man]

All my friends get a hard time solving this.

I guess some people didn't think logically and think about 4, not the shape of 4.

[meiqing123]

i got it in like about 1second

[TalyorLautnerocks]

Omg that was pretty cool.But that trick is soo old.

[videomathtutor]

Yes, it is. Most of the Brain Teasers I present are old, maybe over 100 years old.

[mikaririshow]

oh ha...ha..

[99tacolover]

nice

[sonicfangamer2]

i already knew it b4 you did it

[justsomeguy2756]

Got it!

[craZape]

i thought he was going to use magic lol jk

[ChicWerewolf]

lol

[sk8rdman]

kewl

[Jesse11spykid]

OHHH! I thought u said FOUR sticks! LOL!

[yoshi6563789]

[sjafalconz]

@Jesse11spykid me too lol was life wtf?

[f0revern0ty0urs2]

@Jesse11spykid

so did i,im glad i doubted him and continued to watch to see the solution,instead of spending hours and hours trying to figure it out

[irok127]

@Jesse11spykid  same here!

[ZancHOS47]

hahaha nice trick

[pengro7]

way to easy

[heremaia11]

sooo clever

[candy11401]

this is 2 easy

[lazybasketboy]

i just broke one of them then i got 4 :D

[videomathtutor]

Breaking not allowed.

[bleachtrainer124]

lol i know u comented on this vid along time ago but i thought the same thing lol

[Cassi845]

I thought of it straight away.

[endtexas3]

i got it easy XD and im smart so gema isnt right .lol

[MultiSuperLaLa]

o my godd

that was soooo smart !!

-.-''

[winterygirl07]

that was soo easy

[OrionsBlade2]

theres no noise once the guy starts talking

[videomathtutor]

I hope you mean "sound," not "noise." The video is in mono, not stereo. Please adjust your audio output.

[kayybae]

dude i feel blonde,,, i suck at these things.!!! lol

[Kay0Bot]

Sweet I got the "4" yes! 1 out of 2 ain't bad :)

[TheVzada]

I got trick i taught they were like this ||| and I put them like this --- so  i made 4 sticks

[GemmaSword]

I think if your stupid you get it straight away, because I'm extremely dumb and mannaged to get it. But my friend who is really smart sat for ages thinking, and suggested to snap one.

[thsweetestsauce]

i thought u broke one in half

[Jadinisdabest]

I thought it wouldbe cut one in half

[nicholas666a]

lol i got it instantly

[JuicyLucy118]

same!

[ronquillo2]

wow you really gotta think outside the box

[songwriterJoe]

id worked it out ages befor he told me the answer lol. its obvious if you have a logical mind

[kcired23]

i can't hear what he is saying only the music at the beggining

[videomathtutor]

Video is in mono, not stereo. Adjust your audio output.

[kcired23]

Oh wow I accually went back to this video because I got the coment and the sound was accually normal but at first I was on my desk top dell at my house, and now I'm on my macbook and it's quite fine and I didn't ajust any thing on the mac.

[videomathtutor]

Gotta love the macs!

[kcired23]

yep

[OaklandFire]

actually theres like 3 or 4 lmao

[videomathtutor]

Actually, depending on your point of view, there are an infinite number of solutions. Since I don't want that, I only count 2 as the possible answers.

[thepaperguy1]

i thought he ment get 4 sticks....

[oXxGirlxXo]

Me to! i thought to get 4 sticks im like "uhhh? cut one in half?" :P

[dUhNEwnITe]

i thot u meant to get 4 sticks i was like how the heck do u do that? lol

[colinz1031]

omg!!! didnt get that! haha

[CurlehMustash]

solution #3:

Draw another line

[videomathtutor]

That does not meet the conditions of the Brain Teaser.

[Geordi1996Hunt]

their is actually three ways lol

[videomathtutor]

No. Only Two. The Hindi-Arabic numeral 4 is the same answer, no matter how you "slant" one of its sides. Otherwise, you would have INFINITE solutions, and that is not acceptable.

[autryj00]

I got 4 but not IV. I thought the second solution was you break one in half to get 4 sticks.

[cholozboo]

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT TOO LOL

[iluvshippo47]

that was easy

[CinnamonSmash]

lol

[taiko78]

too easy

[HangingWithBilly]

Pretty good.

[Chorser]

It's acually a very good one, but i got both solutions. Still 5/5!

[spongesarecool]

lol

[akittl]

that was a good one. i only got the first solution not the second!!

[XseductiveXsuicideX]

wow o.o i never would of thought of that....

5/5 and comment =D

[DRUIDROCKS]

that was easy!!! i got both solutions

[videomathtutor]

Nope. I state all you can do is rearrange the sticks.

[guera473]

the music was annoying

[videomathtutor]

So, you want me to change it because *YOU* find it annoying? Poor Baby!

When you become my boss, THEN you can talk to me about changing it.

Sheesh!

[icutu71]

this is not a brain teaser at all cause all you say is make four, four what? four pencils? four hockey sticks? this is more like you have to think outside the box, not a brain teaser, im just saying

[videomathtutor]

Thinking outside the box *IS* a Brain Teaser. Look up "Lateral Thinking" Puzzles.

[SuperDbzmaster]

good one :)

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I hit them with a golf club and yelled "FORE!"

Does that count?

[videomathtutor]

Only on a golf course.

[42mermaid]

Ha ha. That's really funny! :)

[HeavyMetalMusicTori]

haha. good stuff : )

[lovemyfriends96]

UGH! I FINALLY KNOW THE ANSWER!

My teacher did this to us, and she never gave us the answer!! >:C

[Rampoo12]

3 ways FOOL you cross your eyes a lil bit an you see 4 of em

[videomathtutor]

Just because you do not agree with me gives you no reason to call me names. I am only a fool around women (as most men are). Crossing your eyes does not meet the conditions I set in the puzzle.

[Rampoo12]

umm... can you not handle a joke? -_-

[videomathtutor]

Yes, I can. I also know the difference between a joke and a put down.

[fartthriller]

well it looks like u dont then becoz the defintion of a joke is

the person that tells it finds it funny

[videomathtutor]

It is a joke when the person hearing it thinks its funny. Calling someone a fool is not funny.

[Kalirus1234567]

Dude, you need to learn to spell!!!

[1FastfingersMcgee1]

dude.. most men arent fools around women lolol dont try to rationalize your shortcomings

[videomathtutor]

My shortcomings are never rational.

[25ds25rewq]

i know another way

[getoffmyinternet]

Well it also took about 4 seconds to figure out...

[untoldstoriesofme]

-_-

bleh i really need to look outside the box, i didn't know how to find it...ask me a pop culture question instead

[videomathtutor]

These will make you smarter. Pop culture does the opposite.

[untoldstoriesofme]

so are you saying i'm dumb?

XD

[videomathtutor]

No. I am saying spending time learning Pop culture instead of doing OTHER things to stimulate your mind will make you dumb. Here's a tip: Less TV and Video Games, More book reading.

[untoldstoriesofme]

=]

but i don't spend TIME learning pop culture.

what if i do both though because i read about like 7 hours a day ( i love to read) and i watch tv and play games at night?...

=] i think i'll be okay, but my physical being may need some help XD

[drfakefilms]

this just goes to show you were that smart aleck kid in elementary school with no girlfriend. no offense, just stating the obvious

[videomathtutor]

Kids in elementary school are too young to have girlfriends/boyfriends.

[awesomediggity]

no they aren't....if kids have a heart...they have a heart. u cant control their social and love life just becuase they are too young. :( i hate when people do that!

[videomathtutor]

Yes, they are. It is up to the parents (and to a lesser extent, teachers) to instill what is proper social behavior. There should not even be a "love life." Kids have no concept of this. Let kids be kids and teens be teens and adults be adults.

[mlv768]

(Deep voice in the back)"YEAA!"

[meow12435]

Dude, That.... was...... easy.... and weird

[JackAdidas11]

that was easy-and im only 11!

[Babybel007]

really good. we're all proud of you -.-

[KiwiGirl246]

Was that supposed to be difficult? Sometimes, Americans can be so naive!

[videomathtutor]

What makes you think it was made for Americans? It was made for ANY viewer. What may be difficult for some, may be easy for others (and vice versa). Don't Judge.

[viviisalolclown]

O Yeah? Next time, curse yourself and see if you like it before you say it to americans like me! There's lots of Americans here!

[tylerdrey123]

i thought he was gonna snap one of the sticks, haha

[Whoreuk]

At first, I thought about snaping one of the sticks in half. Then you have four sticks, made from three. Your answer is better though, it's less violent.

[Amouse100]

nice trick

[Pluckerpluck]

Just so you know, you can also write the number four in a different way.

This may not work:

|

|__|__ |

If the above actually worked then that's another way to solve the riddle

[videomathtutor]

Too many sticks are being used to create whatever it is you are doing.

[MrTakeAshot1]

Hello, it would be much nicer if you didn't tell the the answer to the question immediately so that we could post our answer to you...

[videomathtutor]

Ever heard of the PAUSE button?

I would prefer if people did not post answers in comments. This spoils it for others.

[ccuurreenntt]

nice answer dude...

you gave it straight in his face...;)

[mesternay]

he has great insults!!!!

[Zeruckiven]

whatever this guy's doing, there's 6 sticks in his answer. the vid says "two ways of doing it", he could have been trying to do both ways.

[videomathtutor]

I was doing two separate answers, each with 3 sticks.

[Zeruckiven]

no u, the other person that u said was using too many sticks, although i don't see that comment anymore.

[spaghettiisFOB]

-.-

[Kiernik]

sorry easy

[Kikasume1]

WOW!

I KNOW EVERYTHING NOW!

:D

[Princess123456780]

yay (claps) im smart

yay smart people!

[verytinyrocks]

Oh how fun!

[slena2]

LOL i thought you meant like 4 pop sticks i thought break one

[dj097655m]

haha i thought he ment 4 pop sticks to

[refridgeratorx7]

i did too

[volcomskater360]

dude i hate ur intro song
