Interactive Memory Puzzle

CAN YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE? (Don't give it away if you can!)
The solution is there. Once you have worked out how to do this, try it on your friends in real life.

There is no camera tricks, this is exactly as I would do it if I were stood in front of you.
If you get REALLY stuck and can't work it out,message me and I'll tell you.

As far as I'm aware this is the first interactive memory puzzle on YouTube.

All sections outside this one are on my alternative channel spelt with a capital 'i' instead of an 'L' incase you are wondering.

Good luck! and if you work it out, don't spoil it for others!

For those who haven't seen the new 'annotations' feature on YT just click the grey buttons to advance.

That would be an awesome bar trick. That is as long as it doesn't get the stuffing kicked out of me.

I worked in bars for years and used to do this all the time, after they've had a few beers you can have someone puzzling over this for hours!

Alora has played about 50 times and still can't get it...

I wondered how the views went up so quickly.

With an even number of glasses upwards it's impossible, by turning 2 each time, to end up with an odd number upwards.

[nmgscp]

There is simpler than that... Turn the left and the right glasses upside 1st, then turn 2 downside and upside again.

it impossible i did exactly what you di and it said i was wrong

[elidudewithcube]

the cups are upside down of the original solve

[DarkCh0c0Latt3]

i saw this trick already as the first time you did it the order was down up down. after you finished fixing it you put the glasses in a order that is up down up, so it is impossible because you put it backwards for us

[kioarthurdane]

Since the order of the glasses doesn't matter, each of the first two moves are "wasted" as the input and output are both, 2 down, 1 up. The puzzle is always one move away from being solved, and yet the problem is to solve it in a fixed number of moves, which any arbitrary target will suffice: Solve in X moves, waste X-1 moves, then perform the "win" move.

Despite it's trivial solution, I'd like to see if my 10 year old niece can figure it out.

[mindlinkzelda576]
