The Gas, Water and Electricity Problem

[chopedandsectioned]

i solved this easily

[ngpakyin0501]

just ask one of them to move away...

[kentownage]

i solved it! just put the cables on top of each other, dont go through them.

[Jonseredi]

Just go through the houses...

[McAfee1389]

Idiot b house has no water

[WerttreW0606]

@McAfee1389 thats not the answer

[Partyffs]

Yes you can....pick up the paper.....witch is not against the rules or go true the house.

[ChaosTheory29]

Technically it is possible to solve this problem in 2d. The problem states that the connections cannot cross "each other" and does not mention not being able to go through the houses. If the question stated that the lines could not cross each other, nor go through the houses, it would then become impossible on a 2d plane.

[ChaosTheory29]

@ChaosTheory29 to better clarify, going through a house is not cheating. It retains the use of the 2d plane, and does qualify under the rules of the problem. Folding the paper would be considered cheating, as that is changing from 2d to 3d.

[noobitube]

draw behind the paper its the only way.

[Matej1the1dinosaur22]

it can be solved. i solved it once but it was so long i dont remember how

[TooHuman]

@Matej1the1dinosaur22 Yeah sure!

[HiRiderAce]

B house has no water

[Cyclone238]

what if you drew a multiple utility station? He never said you couldn't do that

[jorm420]

well i guess im goin with DimitrisMPapadakis on this one there are 2 dimensions but i did it on a 2d plain. make a horizontal line with the houses and a vertical line with the utility's. elec first on top ,gas in middle, and water on the bottom floor and use one line on every utility Horizontal though. just think how its already put together

[DimitrisMPapadakis]

THIS PROFESSOR IS AN IDIOT..

YES IT CAN BE DONE. JUST NOT ON A TWO DIMENSIONAL SPACE. THIS WAS NOT, I REPEAT WAS NOT SPECIFIED IN THE RULES OF THE PROBLEM!!! IT CAN BE DONE IN THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE. (i.e. for the dumb ones, just cut our the piece of papers and connect them with strings if you can't visualize it. No lines will "cross".

Done.

Cheers from Greece.

[Venergon]

@DimitrisMPapadakis

Being 2-dimensional is assumed in the puzzle.

[DimitrisMPapadakis]

@Venergon "assumed" means IT IS NOT SPECIFIED, nor disallowed. So, it is part of the solution.

[cankarales]

you can't draw it in a plane but you may try to draw it on a bus, but you will probably fail on the bus as well :)

[ethanB612]

What is the book and author he referenced at the very end?

[macgamesman]

@ethanB612 the authors name is Dutony

[ethanB612]

@macgamesman Are you sure it's spelled that way? Obviously I heard him say the name at the end, I tried looking up "Dutony" and every other spelling I could think of. No luck. I've never heard of any mathematician by that name, have you? What's his first name?

[66ya]

solved my mark miles :D

[66ya]

a goes straight throught the resources underneith b goes to the resoures above and house c goes straight to resouce c straight down then house c goes around resouce c to resouse b then house c goes under house b and above house a to resource a and inconclustion this problem is not impossible :) i guess im smarter then a collage professer at the age of 18 ^^

[66ya]

i found the answer i was really simple

[coolcheyenne4lol]

that is rounge b does not have gas

[sr71ablackbird]

maybe the professor up above should watch the following, none of the lines cross... watch?v=O0RzybS3ZiA&feature=re­lated

[bbost3]

Herp - No restrictions on 2D or 3D

Electricity through power polls

Gas on ground

Water underground through pipes.

Puzzle Logic'd

[DudeWhaha]

haha i solved it in 5 minutes

[Nuingiliuth]

Wtf its easy, water+gas to house A>go arround the right and then you can bring water to house B by drawing the line crossing the gab you made between the gas and house A.

[farinheit2celsius]

If you idiots would have listened, he SAID he coudln't get the last line >.>

[Achiox]

@farinheit2celsius I was wondering - is YouTube full of morons? And then I read your comment and everything was ok. Cheers mate.

[gabiavrilcloyd]

bro you missed the water for house no.2.



[addy9098]

you missed one on the water



[Dancingbaby2008]

go through a neighbor house... they wont mind

[TurboDuck12]

go between the spaces in the dotted lines XD

[bakinkoljac021]

PROBLEM IS SOLVABLE IF IT IS ALLOWED TO DRAW CURVES LINES

[FrenkknerF]

@bakinkoljac021 lol, u think you cant use/draw curves :P

and no, it isnt possible.

[lucaatje36]

THIS IS SO EASY OMG

[CanYouFeelTheRythym]

HOUSE B HAS NO WATER, HE'S A PHONEY! A BIG FAT PHONEY.

[purpleninjazz3]

WOW YOU GUYS! CAN'T YOU SEE THE WATER ONLY CONNETED TO 2 HOUSE?!

[Adambomb645]

move gas over a little bit, and put water in, problem solved...

[MrDiglettdig]

supuzzle, i connected them all... YOUR STATEMENT IS FALSE

[surield]

Umm, the second house isn't connected to the water...

[rocketpropulsion]

@surield In the video, the lecturer states that this is the 9th connection and is impossible.

[TheRazzor1]

@surield he said tht

[b0ulgar0kt0n0s]

The solution is remove the gas, and put on some more clothes. haha :P

[rocker9904]

... i have a better idea. draw it on a bagel. Seriously, you WILL succeed.

[EolyAngel]

@rocker9904 wow I made it thanks, unfortunately I had a bagel for lunch !

[mattis1981]

just hook a cable onto the neigbours house and there you go

[MDSVes]

I solved the puzzle. you got to back in time and let Nikola Tesla finish his project on wireless electricity at Wardenclyffe in 1917 and and then all you got to do is hook up the water and gas to the 3 houses. Easy

[TheObelix876]

lol he missed one and this puzzle is impossible without cheating or bending the rules

[vvhoopie]

2:20 awkward professor joke.

[ZZSFAN]

Make underground pipes :D

Problem gauss?

[Getbent97]

put a bridge over the electricity to house b, and no I don't mean a walking bridge I mean an electrical bridge

[Leizazure]

How about... Draw a line through the fucking house. They didn't say anything about not passing through houses.

[TheTEAMBUTLER]

put pipes under ground

[zenney100]

Connect the electrical station to the water source. Then connect the water source and gas source to the 3 houses. There u go, all houses get electricity, water and gas. Water is a good conductor of electricity after all : D

[jamesfallon9]

THE SOLUTION IS TO CONNECT GAS, WATER AND ELECTRICITY TO A SUBSTATION( SEPARATE HOUSE) BY ONE LINE FROM EACH STATION. THEN YOU SIMPLY DRAW ONE LINE TO EACH HOUSE FROM THIS SUBSTATION..THIS LINE REPRESENTS GAS,WATER AND ELECTRICITY IN PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND THEY WILL NOT CROSS....DRAW IT OUT AND SEE THAT IT WORKS.......

[samsam1396]

use a beagle to draw it

[stopmotionman09876]

stick it througn a's window -_-

[curryspark]

hey hers an idea.........DRAW A FUCKING DOUGHNUT!!!!!![i like doughnuts :) ]

[Katoudi5393]

practically it can be solved because our world is 3D :P but in the plane...it's simply impossible :)

[TheKFCluver]

Have an above ground pipe connection.. DURR

[LuisDolores2244]

O my fukkin god i solved it on my first god damn try and it only took me 10 seconds

[Nlaw18]

@LuisDolores2244 You have to cheat for it to work --' that's not solving anything! The game is impossible to solve. Unless you cross wires or go through objects. And i guess you CAN'T! Prove me wrong and post a print of it.

[LuisDolores2244]

@Nlaw18 i have no idea if my last response went to you cuz im having internet issues. but anyways i just explained why some of the cheats do not work such as going through a house because they neighbor would just cut the line or folding a corner of the paper,because in a 2d universe folding the paper would cause it to stil be flat and therefore still cross and popin a hole and drawing on the otherside wont work because there is no height in a 2d world and therefore impossible but the answer is

[LuisDolores2244]

@Nlaw18 in order to keep the universe flat and not cross any lines at all just plain and simply tape the edges of 2 sides of the paper so that it makes a cylinder type shape and and draw some of the lines going around the paper like a globe, this answer is correct because i am not breaking any rules or laws of physics keeping the universe flat from having any other dimension added like depth and i kept the universe to just 2 dimensions and therefore correct i could go into further detail but...

[alphadog9876543210]

FUCK IT JUST USE AN ELECTRIC STOVE

[chikery123]

its wrong:P

[thelukacare]

you should tell them that 2 had water tougter and it would be solved

[bryanrox13]

The problem never say that water can't connect to both heat and electricity.

[archon808]

Real world soloution is for B, and C to share C's connection to water. Or if this was a circut board, you would simply burn a trace on the backside of the board from B to Water.

[MegaDecris]

que???

não entendi nada

[MrMeno120]

Chuck Norris ate a paper with the problem and he shitted it with the answer!

[TheNewHights]

@MrMeno120 chuck norris is overrated

[archerfenix]

I have been looking for this answer since the fifth grade and I am kind of disappointed to hear there is no answer without going under one of the houses.... bummer... never thought to look online until now...

[Jk6jack1]

its BEAGUAL

[tardkitty]

The answer is simple mr.beastly is amish and doesn't need electricity.

[willghass]

is this college for old people or what?

[sedmoagalnikful]

hahahahah the problem is the world is 3d ... not 2d , if it was 2d though its obvious it cant be solved . Anyway id doo the following . Gas pipes underground ( 20 m depth ) . Water pipes underground (10m depth) . Electricity 10 m above the ground ... and all lines ( pipes and conductors ) will be paralel to each other ... Do you like it guys ?

[bossnunes]

you sound like ozzy osborne :D

[OnlyKoolaid]

House B ehem, ah, has no water dood.

[TheChase56222]

there is a solution because theres always a solution timbo5001 proved you wrong

[Doggiecutes]

The third house is Amish and needs no electricity. Problem solved!(?)

[ryweexxxtanner]

you didn't connect house b to the water. just saying. 

[NiKoRaSu15]

Obviously if you take into consideration a 3rd dimension the lines don't need to connect at all, however since the original puzzle is in 2D it's just a great way to piss people off by trying to solve it :P

[likeRAWRnshit]

Link water, heat, and electricity together, then draw heat to A, water to B, and Electricity to C.

What now?

[jillyjilljill8000]

how about this they make the pipes and one crosses but they move it upp from wer the other pipe is wen its made or u can do this fuk the whole lot of you no water electricity or gas for anyone!

[TheOreothief]

answer=be realistic...

NO ON GIVES A SHIT IF THE WATER, GASS, OR THE ELECTRICITY CROSS!!!

[Super123cookie]

and shuper shexagon shape should shee shald shes... You know what, learn to speak with out saying SH at the beginning of every thing!

[MrClash1812]

There are two human responses: Be Gentle, a person is not gas, but when you need to use it, visit the neighbor. Live together! But it is easier to say: FUCK THIS GAME everyone in this fucking game should die

[flee1996]

the answer is simple none of them have gas XD

[LolRoflLamoHaa]

The answer is: You all have to share, the government dont give a fuck IF you hate each other or not, xDD 

[JONYOL47]

So, this video proves again, that this puzzle is impossible? W is no connected with C..

[Suprememessage]

I have an answer, three dimensional drawing, aka a torus, will solve this.

[PrototypeZZ]

Actually Electricity can be transformed through air (which avoids psychical crossing) through electric poles (transformator inside doesnt have actual line of electricity and transported throught electic field),

[Youngone2k9]

hello lisp

[darkdudironaji]

answer. you make it 3d and jump over the pipes.

[jimbojo87]

I did it, i put in a bridge and my water pipe went over that.

[rkid1296]

B siphons water out of C I say it's economical and possible!

[BlackMidnightFox]

He right clicked hahah xDD

[jellybean3264]

i did it and its easy and im only 11 years old stupid teacher

[peaceloverecycle25]

@jellybean3264 prove it

[jellybean3264]

@peaceloverecycle25 its easy just keep trying youl get it

[KOTTOMNOUTHKING]

Physically impossible in the two dimensional world.

[zach286]

in this puzzle you just draw through the spaces in the lines

[seduc2003]

jajaja I tried that in school 1000s of time and just now Id find out theres no way to do it. :((((

[yusufandyasser]

@seduc2003 same here

[silver91183]

stupid teaching in stupid university.

[yosoybinladen]

la re puta que te pario, me mire todo el video y no mostraste ninguna solucion mal bicho!!!

[vekyniksic]

go under!

[ennarovip]

but there isn't W-C couple in the solution!

[godzilacoke]

you can do it if you dont beleve me than click on to the vidio i did the puzle

[MunchyToast001]

You see that hes gone trough the house A , wich means he rightclicked.

[mastercody101]

@MunchyToast001 no he didnt dude, fail on u XD besides , he didnt give house b any water

[cjquines]

easy. Just add a cable. DUH!

[ABNbassist]

I figured out a way to solve this puzzle without using a donut shape. Just a simple piece of graph paper. This thing can be solved. I'll make a video eventually.

[ChristianVido]

this puzzle IS solvable, you just need to do it on a doughnut shape

[Vranje4ever]

@ChristianVido: Discrete mathematics says no :p ... 6 node graph cannot be a complete graph and a planar graph at the same time, funny tho how little kids like to argue around this problem a lot :3

Anyway planarity of a graph can be checked by applying n<=3e-6 where: n-number of nodes, e-number of connections

@fmt20: i would guess that you are right and that this is a university class of some kind, probably graph math or discrete math, tho both are very interesting topics

[ChristianVido]

@Vranje4ever well, I don't know much about math, but I DO know that this problem is solvable on a doughnut shape. I invite you to take a look at my video of me solving it, and give any constructive feedback. I also know that this problem IS impossible to do on a flat piece of paper (without using "windows" or "a water tower" as I have seen in other videos...), however, when drawn on a doughnut, which is not a normal shape, since it has a hole in it, it IS indeed possible to accomplish.

[MrBogi17]

one of house can buy gas in bottle, its simple

[bennyboy229]

Fold the paper

[MrCatalystic]

And suddenly, a giant eraser comes out of the sky and erases two of the houses!!!!!

Problem solved :)

[ScrewAttackChina]

fold the paper into a cylinder and go around the circumference... just like folding space into a higher dimension

[lollzz69]

why dont just go deeper in to the ground problem solved!!!!!!

[fmt20]

Am I the only ont to think that it really seems like a crapy university class?

[Rasmussen57]

Why cant B and C just share the water? Get it out of your life.

[AparreVertulfoGubat]

this shit is answered by my philo1 teacher but i didnt bother to listen or look at it. im playing ragnarok on my lappy. too bad for me :C i didnt realize that this puzzle is famous

[galeitiaa]

house b has no water. failure.

[OnlyKoolaid]

UGH! there is no answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not a test, it is not a puzzle.

It is a key, and if it unlocks something in your mind then THE "PUZZLE" has been a success.

Also, you got the first part right, do it on paper, thats the way it was created, thats the way to do it.

Try..... folding the puzzle so the houses and utilities stack. no lines to cross, and you just stick a pin through the whole thing. thats the only acceptable answer......

[MasterWind02]

Hous B has no water

[HuntingMasterz]

@MasterWind02 reatrd thats the puzzle

[vadforta]

@HuntingMasterz he must have listened to it with no sound i guess

[Azinoskateteam]

@SullivanSean1 dude its ight nobodies gonna die since my grammer sucks xD

[drumdude500]

Go through the houses.

[brunzmeflugen]

Easy,Flux Capacitor.

[zarcyne1]

its easy, have the line from b go around c, through the electricity, then to the water.

[josip0258]

drek!

[Tonyjaa39]

Hay ,.,.,its fake., .,.,Mr B is not connected with Water., .,.,.,.CONCENTRATE

[ImYourTurkey]

@Tonyjaa39 You are a massive, huge, GIGANTIC IDIOT. He SAYS in the video he has 8/9 connections and COULDN'T FINISH IT. Get your head out of your ass so you can use your ears for what they were MEANT TO DO, and listen to the video before saying such stupid things.

[Tonyjaa39]

@ImYourTurkey  thank u massive, huge, GIGANTIC IDIOT fellow friend ,. ..,.,.,u could hav told ths in some mannerly way.,..

[TheNZLegend]

@Tonyjaa39

Yeah... you need to concentrate really hard

[Tonyjaa39]

@TheNZLegend oh yeah.,.,.,.,.,..,..anyways THANKS

[PeopleSpokeSK8]

The answer is, fuck it, no water, electricity, or heat for all of you! >:(

[SeeYaOnSondee]

yes its IMPOSSABLE the answer is NO BUT....there is a way..yes there is...draw it in 3D and from a birds eye view the pipes can go UNDER each other, so:

2D:No

3D:Yes

[stop222200]

@SeeYaOnSondee the problem is in 2h, 3d dont mean shit here lol

[RAYGXEN]

@SeeYaOnSondee it is possible on 2D as well, with dimensionnles common points on the border corespondence points in another 2D plan so it's possible in 2D with 2 Differrent spaces:D

[ABCthequeen]

I no how erase water to house A and change it to house B then write house A try tht

[angeldarkstarz]

HOUSE B DOESN'T HAVE ANY WATER!!

[eismar5]

at last an video that is actually worth watching because it show's the facts and not just dumb ways to cheat around a problem x)

[pashaahsj]

use invisible ink -_-

wow he's dumb :S

[jauchiu]

It is possible, if you draw that on a ball.

[kingwilly1000]

it is possible

YOU JUST CANIT DO IT lol

good try

[Sharkb0mb]

@kingwilly1000 no it is impossible unless you cheat

[TheJermster11]

It IS very possible. Think logically. If they can not be touching, the only way to connect the final line, is to go underneath the other lines. Or over, if you feel the need.

[Sharkb0mb]

@TheJermster11 wow really? you can't see it going under other lines from a birds eye view, plus you can't cross the lines either

[EchoxBoii]

i can solve, it i did it! : )

[noxure]

I was wondering: can you design a puzzle with the same rules, being impossible to solve in 3 dimensions? It can be 100 houses, 1000 suppliers, 5 groups that have to interconnect, whatever. Is it possible to make such problem impossible?

My intuition tells me in theory you can't, even if it's ridiculously complex you can always 'interconnect' any set of groups in 3 dimensions. But it's hard to proof and if it's true, it doesn't make sense you can do it easily in 2 dimension.

[elden2]

He isn't good Water did not gif water to house number 2!!

[shadowhunter45s]

Its impossible sining banna shows why

[xAshleyCHL]

B -Water :(

Sorri you missed that x(|

[Nemesis986]

i think i solved it 0.0 its not impossible

[LunaticQuutamo]

i fucked my mind up, in basic school with this, because asshole friends told me they know the solution! THANKS, fuckers!

[isaiahmk989]

put some pipes under the other houses

[communitysharer1]

Incredible how he doesn't know how to do this type of problem. This is such an easy problem.

[hamoan66boi]

@communitysharer1 you cant even do it....

@communitysharer1 you do it then.
