 Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another video where we're gonna play the 10 by 10 math puzzle game, the pattern recognition game that we came up with in 2015, I believe, where we were putting up a grid, 10 by 10 grid where we're gonna learn the multiplication table and then since we had the grid up, we ended up playing a 10 by 10 puzzle pattern recognition game that I learned from a student back in early 2000s, might've been like 18 years ago or so. 18, 16 years ago that I learned this game, right? And what we've done with this game is we played it once, went through the instructions of how to play this game and I put out a blog post and you can, I'll provide the links in the description of this video if you wanna know how to play this game, right? And then later on what we ended up doing is we did a live stream in 2018 where we set up the grid and we had basically three days of live streaming and for this video what we're doing actually right now is live streaming this game as well. This camera that you see right now is the HD camera right below it is a live streaming camera and I got a mic set up here for live streaming, computer set up here for live streaming and what we're doing is we're playing this game as a community on Twitch and this is our first day of three that we're gonna do and there's a few different strategies involved in playing this game, right? And we're gonna do one of the strategies right now and the strategy is basically working from the outside and going all the way in, right? And the rules of this game are pretty simple. Just to let you know but I'll provide the links in the description of this video to the article and the playlist that we have for this game as well as the video that gives you the instructions goes through it and we've done the instructions a few times now but I'll give you a quick version of the instructions which is basically this. We got a 10 by 10 grid, 100 squares on the board, right? And what we wanna do is fill up the squares from number one to number 100 sequentially one at a time, right? Now we start with the number one and what we're gonna do is for this game we're gonna work our way from the outside end, right? But for now, for the instructions let me show you all the different movement types. Let's assume we're gonna put number one here, right? Now there's two main movement types. Vertically and horizontally, the next number has to be three squares away from the previous number so it could go here, it could go here it could go here or it could go here, right? And the next number is two, right? So we could put two here, here, here or here. Diagonally, you have to be two squares away from the previous number. So number two could go here, one two could go here, could go here or it could go one two here, right? So we could put the number two here, here, here, here, right? We could only place one number in a square, right? So let's assume we take this guy down. We put the number two here. That's our option, right? The next number is number three and the same rules apply, same movement types apply. Vertically or horizontally, we have to be three squares away, right? So we can't go up because that's off the grid. You can't go off the grid. We can go down, we could go here, we could go here and diagonally we're two squares away so we could go here, we could go here, we could go here and we can't go back there because that square is already occupied, okay? So number three, let's assume we do this. We put it here, right? And so on and so forth. Number four could go here, number four could go here, number four could go here and those are our only choices because the rest of them take us off grid and this one's already occupied, okay? And the name of the game is to get to 100. The best score we've had so far on live streams, we had it last year in 2018. We got to 99. This is our second game we're playing on this live stream and the previous game, warm-up game, we only got to 94, okay? And the way we're doing this with the live stream, we've broken our grid down into letters, alphabet and numbers. So if we wanna place something down in a certain square, we just call out with the chat anyway with the live stream, we just go the letter and then the number. So if you're gonna put the number one, starting number one at A10, right? You just punch in A10 in the chat and we put one there. If you want number two to go to diagonally here after we put number one here, let's assume we put one here, right? If the next movement is diagonal to number two and if you want number two gone here, you would say C8 and we put the number here, C8, oops, not C8, we'd go number two, right? Number two and so on and so forth. That's the movement style that we're doing, okay? Aside from that, we're gonna go to chat. We're gonna see where we're gonna play the game and hopefully, hopefully we get to 100. We complete the puzzle. It'll be a first for us to win it live and I'm just gonna get caught up with the chat a little bit to make sure there's no movement types. Wait, are these comments gonna appear? No, these comments are not appearing. Someone's asking in the live chat, these comments are not appearing in the recorded video that we're doing right now. They are gonna appear on the live stream that we're gonna load on, bit shoot, but we're only gonna be uploading the recorded version with the lapel mic onto YouTube, okay? So there's only gonna be one game loaded onto YouTube but bit shoot is gonna have all the games live stream and the chat is gonna appear on those months, okay? And we're gonna obviously upload this recording on bit shoot as well, okay? Okay, good, okay, sweet. A10, someone's saying we start with A10. Tony, we start with A10 and go around. What do you people say? I say yes, Spotify says yes. So what we're gonna do right now is do this. We've decided before we started recording that the strategy we're gonna use, we're gonna go around and go in. We're gonna be doing a live stream tomorrow and the next day. And another recording hopefully we're gonna end up doing is doing quadrants at a time, breaking this down into four quadrants and doing it that way. But for now, we're gonna start at A10 and go around. So this is gonna be number one, okay? Definitely. Now, there's no preference of going clockwise or counterclockwise. So let's go this way, counterclockwise right now. So one, two, three, here's number two. And I'm gonna put the stickies on there and then I'm gonna put the numbers down. Until we get to a branch where we got choices that we're gonna do other than the, I guess, most important code that we have in solving this right now, which is go around, go around. That supersedes any other movement, right? One, two, three, four. And it's really nice nailing the corners right off the bat. Four, five, six, seven. So that's number 12. We can't go here. So our choices are here, here, or here. Okay, you guys let us know where we're gonna go, okay? For number 13, where it's going to be. I'm gonna put the numbers in. Two, three, four, five. Where should we go for number 12? 13, 13, or 13. And usually at the beginning, the choices are, there's a lot of choices and you can get a nice flow going, right? This way, that way, that way, go around again. That's you. I don't know if I have time. D eight, then A eight. D eight, D eight. So we're here. Oh no, wait, nevermind. F eight to H 10, F eight. Let's see, F eight to H 10, I like that. So we're gonna go 13 there and then 14. And then since our purpose right now is to go around no matter what first, I think what we can do, 13, 14, go here. 15, 16, 17, right? Or go here. 13, 14, 15, 16. Should we keep clockwise instead of rotating clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise, counterclockwise, or just keep on going clockwise? I think keep on going clockwise. What do you guys say? J eight. Oh, someone's saying go the other way. Now it's like almost that. J eight, round, then around. Okay, that's what we do. 13, 14, 15, 16. 17, and then we can come all the way to here, right? 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, almost made a mistake. 22, and since we're going around, why not? 23, so I'm gonna put these numbers in before we go any further. That way I don't lose track of where we are, right? So we got 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. We can go around still. Yeah, let's go around. That's our rule right now, right? 23, 24, four, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33. Nice. We'll take care of this rule. So let's do this. Hopefully everyone agrees. 25, let's do it. 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33. Let's put the numbers in. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 33. Good start, yeah, very good start. And three, a Monday morning, that's when there's people watching from the UK and stuff. So the time zones we've set up to play the games live is like middle of the night for some people. 33. Then we got 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41. Nice, we do, we do, right? Go all the way around. Let's do it. 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42. So we're at 33 before. 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45. Now what have we got the choices? Whoa, I stopped concentrating because I was looking up when the stream this is going really well. Yeah, we've done pretty well so far. Can anyone smell it guys? Ah yes, how are you doing? We got 45. Now we got three choices after 45. We can go here, we can go here or we can go here. Now our main purpose right now is to take care of the outsides. We wanna keep on working the outsides, right? So what are our choices? If we come here, we can't hit the outside road. We gotta go here, hit here, and then we can work the outside there and then from there it kicks us out. Here and then we can work these guys, right? 46, here we can go outside right away. So 46, 47, 48, 49, 50. That might be better, just going back right away. G8, I6. So G8, I6, we go that way. We go that way. Yeah, that's doable, that's good. Let's do that. E7, C9, Tony says E7, E7, C9. Whoa, we're going in two different directions. We got competition, we need a second on this. We got two different choices. One of them is taking us that way and the other one's gonna take us here and then that way. Which one should we do, gang? I'm gonna have a sip of tea while we decide. And looking at it from here on the computer screen, I see it flat right now, which is sort of good. Looking at it sideways. I've mentioned this before, before the live streams, but I'll mention it since we're recording this. Looking at it sideways sort of distorts things for me a little bit. Looking at it this way, flat, the way you guys are seeing it is nice. E7 would feel more. E7 would feel more, let's do it. Let's do it. E7, okay, so E7, so we're gonna go 46. 46. And then we're gonna go back, right? That's the movement. I guess I agree with Tony. And he says, okay, let's do it. So I think here is next, C9, let's do it. And then our program kicks in again, right? So this is 47 and our program kicks in again where we're gonna do the outside first. So 48, 49, 50, 51, right? And then we've got choices. 52, 53, 54, hmm, is that where we wanna go? Well, let's do this for now and then we'll decide where to go from there. So 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, okay? 51, so where to now? We could go 52 here, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58. Maybe that's the way to go. I think that'll be nice, maybe. Where were we? 52, 52, 53, 54. Let's do that. Let's kick out and come back down again. I think that's the way we're gonna do because that brings us, the other choices here, here, here. Same deal. How do we kill off? How do we get to this row? Let's do it this way. 52, 53, I hope people agree. 54, 55, 57, 59, 61, 62, 63, 64. Then we can go there. So let's do it up to this point. That would get to the bottom, it would. So let's see, F3, H5, H2, F3, F3, H5. I would get to the bottom, maybe we'd go that way from 51. That would get to the bottom. That would get to the bottom. I like getting to the bottom. The other way we get to the bottom later, which way should we go? You know what, we've laid this out. Let's keep going this way. 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58. And then we can go work the bottom now. 59, 60, 61, 62, 63. Should we do that? Let's keep going, okay? So 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67. Should we go around? Should we go around? Let's go around. The program is kicking in. So 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 59, 65, 64, 65, 64, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67. We need to leave as many spaces in the middle as possible so that we don't get stuck later on. Yeah, I agree, spot of tea. So we're doing okay so far, I think. Just looking at the way I'm looking at a plane view. We need to find a way to get to I8 so we can go around. I8, I8, oh yeah, if we get to I8, go all the way around again, right? Boom, boom, boom, boom. So how do we get to I8? If we do this, we can get to I8 this way. We could go here, here, here, here, here, here. That takes care of I8 and then we can pop out. And then we can go boom, boom, boom. And then try to nail these guys. Remember the last game we played, this one, one of these roles gave us problems. From I8, yeah, okay, let's go for it. So we're gonna go here. We're gonna go here. We're gonna go here. So 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, and our only out from there is here, 73, 74. Okay, let me fill these out before I get lost in the stickies. 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74. Okay, what do we got now? 74, 75, 76, let's do it. I was thinking how far would we get in a game where we only go diagonal unless we can't move and then go as little horizontal and vertical moves as possible to keep going diagonal. That would be fun to do. That'd be a fun little strategy to try out, yeah? I'm into it. Either one of the live streams today, if we have time, I don't know if we have time. Either one of the, I don't know if we have time to fill in on the game today, but we can definitely try it tomorrow or next day. Okay, Tony? I begain for it. Or the other way around, yeah. Only go diagonally to compensate to make sure you can go horizontally and diagonal or vertically again, right? 68, where were we? 74, 75, 76, and then go around. 77, 78, let's go, 75, 76, 77, 78. Now what do we got? We only got one choice for this. 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84. We take care of that rule. Should we do? I think that'd be fun to do. 79, 80, 81, 82. Get stuck if we do that. Check this out. If we do that, we're gonna get stuck, I think. 83, 84, but then we won't have any way to go. That's not gonna work. Oh no, we could go there, what am I? Didn't see it diagonally. Looking at it this way, yeah, for sure we could. Why not? Slot it, he says, let's do it. 79, 80, 81, oh no, this one doesn't. That's right, 82, 83, 84, if we do this, we're stuck. All right, let me look at it on the map. We can't do that. We're gonna get stuck on that one, so we gotta backtrack this. 84, 83, 82, 81. So maybe we need to go from 81, we go to here, 82, gonna give us problems. This is giving us problems, right? I think maybe we should keep trying to go around the outside rather than sticky in one area. I think so too, I think that was a bad move. So I think we're gonna take it back to this one. 78, or only out from 78 is this. So here's 79, and then we go out. Does that sound good? Cause if we stick in one area, we fill up the one, too many spaces is true, Tony says true, so let's do it. So there's 80, you can go 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, and again we got stuck here. So this has gotta be our 100. That means this we gotta keep open. We gotta get into this, and into this we can get in from there or from there. So that gives us more choices. Where should we go from 80 gang? From 80, we go up, we come down, we go there, we come down, we go up, stuck from there, around the outside, anti-clockwise again. So we go this way, yeah, so 81, where's our 82? Oh, look at this, we got an 82 there. I forgot to take this guy down. Right, so 79, 80, 81, okay, let's do it. 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, D7, D7, yeah, from 81 to 82, D3. Where can we go with 83, we could go here, 83, 84. We're in a jam, definitely in a jam. I think we're in a jam. We might have spent too much time in one area. Anybody see a way out? If we go 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, eight or 88, and then we're stuck. 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, oh, that might be better. Let's take these guys down. 83, 84, hey, how do we get there? Oh man, this looks confusing. E5, G3, 83, where's 83, 83, 84, E5. And then G3, G3. So here's 85, 85, 86, 87 or 87, that's not gonna happen. 86, 87, 88, that's not gonna help us out. I see another direction we could go, Tony. We could go, where were we? 85, 86, so this would be 86, 87, 88, 90, sorry, 89, and then 90, and then that's it. That's the best we could do. I spelt it wrong too. Tony's got me. Do the numbers matter? Yeah, the numbers matter. We're doing it sequentially, right? You have to, from number 90, you gotta go to 91. You're sequentially starting with number one, and you wanna get to 100, right? So that leaves us in a jam. Let's check it out. If we take it back, we should be able to do better than 90, 87, so if we take it back, 87, 86. So from 85, what could we do? Yeah, I feel like we can do a lot better as well. But for some reason, I'm not seeing another movement. I don't know if you guys are seeing it or not. Way better than that. So if we do from here, 84, we'll go to 85, 86, 87, 88, we can get to 90 again, but it's 88, 89, now we're stuck there, but we could go here, 89, and then 90, and then we're stuck. F7, no, that only gets us to 88. Let's see, these two go together, nothing comes into that one. What comes into that one? 87 could come into that one. 87, so let's take it back to 87, and then go 88, 89, but that's it for that. So we take this back, so 87, what else we got? We got that, that, but that ends there, that, that, that, and that ends there. From there, we can't go anywhere. Those are our only choices for 87, so if we take it back to 86, what do we got? 86, we got that, it's 87, 88, 89, 87, 86, 87, 88, so we could do that. Where's Malik when you need him? Yeah, where's Malik when you need him? There was one person that was training with us last year, when he did the phenomenal, he broke it down, he showed us the four quadrant method and stuff, which was really good. So let's try this out. If we go 87, 88, 89, no, that wasn't it, 87, eight, let's do this, 87, 88, 89, 90, 87, 88, 89, 90, we get the 91, we got one more higher. Let's see, I'm just gonna put this in, I'm gonna read some comments. Maybe some people have a way out for us, let's see. So can the next number in the sequence only be placed diagonally or vertically? Yeah, only diagonally or vertically, vertically or horizontally, horizontally or vertically is three squares away, diagonally is two squares away. Let's see, H5, F3, H5, so let's find H5, H5, H5, H5, 87. So we're 87, H5 to F3, F3, F3, yeah. And then to D5, D5, yep, and then to DA, G8, yep, and then we can take G8, so that gets us to 91, yeah, that gets, thanks, I think I get it now, cool, oh God, you like Isaac, there's a, let me do a little post, send your link here. That's a block spot post I put on where I go through the rules, I wrote out the rules and I showed examples, and then a few years later I made the first video that we made where we went through this whole thing looking at the instructions, so that'll, and there's apps that people have written, both you can play on your PC or if it's still functional on an app that you can download, 91 gang, that's it, that's the best we could do, I think so. In the previous one, we got the 94, so we got the 91 right now, and based on the scoring system that we had set up last year when we did the live streams, that's not a very good score, we got the 99 on one of the streams I believe last year, which was really good, this one, this, this, these two are connected, these two are connected, these three are connected, that and that are connected with that, so there's a triple there, and a triple there, but we couldn't get to them, right? The triple would have kicked us off to 94, but we didn't have a way in, and there's animated ones as well that people have played. No, okay gang, so that's one of the games we're recording today. We'll do at least one more recording, either tomorrow or next day, or we might do two recordings of the game. We gotta do better than 91, we can definitely do better than 91, much better than 91, okay? For those watching this on the recording HD camera, thanks for being here, hope you enjoyed the live stream recording, for those live streaming, I'm sticking around, I'm gonna chat a little bit and see what else is up, okay? That's it for now, I'll see you guys in the next video.
