@RaniaIsAwesome Oh, I would like to comment on this. Usually the most advanced types of math is started with silly games and questions. Not like what your referring to but the angel/devil game just cane to mind and I couldn’t resist bringing it up.

@Patrick Martin You can do all of this without square roots still, assuming you can still raise to the power of 2, you can just compute it in your head until you get 4^2+3^2=25. You can assume 25 is square as it was given.

@Ryan it’s supposed to mean a^2 + b^2 = x, x being the sum of two square numbers. You can then see that the answer must be square with the line, “…of these square numbers” giving you: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Square numbers must be integers and the only one here that works is 5, (3,4,5 right triangle) so 25, B, is the correct answer. Does that help?

@Johnny C.S. Yes, "square number" is a rather unfortunate term, since it can very easily be mistaken for "squared number", which is a much more general definition that includes any number.<br>It would have been better to use the term "square INTEGER" instead, since this would emphasise that it only includes integers.

I think the question is a bit bare tbh. Could be interpreted differently.

Your condescending better-than-you attitude towards people who find math difficult just makes you part of the problem;
nobody is gonna try to improve in maths if they feel mocked and ridiculed - they will just start associating math with stuck-up arrogant jerks instead.
If you are so damn worried about people having trouble with math, then start TEACHING and MOTIVATING people instead - that is what I do, and everyone should do that same thing, instead of trying to elevate themselves by mocking those people.

@Peter you are not alone. Many of us here come from STEM related fields and did not understand the question because it was quite vague to say the least.

My background is in computer science and I have studied Calculus 1-3, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Statistics and all sorts of mathematics. Math is definitely not one of my weaknesses and I still missed the question because I did not understand initially what it was saying.

@RaniaIsAwesome I agree I am the same as you, the sentence was not clear, I took it to mean which number has a square root of a square root that will equal 16, e.g. sqrt(16) = 4, sqrt(4) = 2. This has absolutely nothing to do with one's mathematical ability but whether or not the question is clear.

@Smol Boye I'd consider it a little of wordplay since they could simplify it to "which of these numbers happens to be the sum of two square numbers". Mentioning that the numbers themselves were the squares to me seems a bit distracting.

@Prakhar
It is not about the basic math, it is about how you understand the question.
At first i thought we had to find a square number that also had a square number.
Which would mean 16 since the square root of 16 is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2.
While there are no square roots for 5, 6 and 7 if we are looking for numbers without decimals.
It should be said that english is not my main language, but i do still believe that some people from english speaking countries would understand it the same way at first.

Did you know that [because we all defend political freedom] innocent people haven't yet discovered how to predict the movements of The Guilty [People] (whose lives are run COMPLETELY by guilt) and then punish them? Is there any doubt that "conscious" means "conscious of What Good Sportsmanship Is" (yes, the concept predates the religion of South Asians [including Indians], to whom it is called "Sanatana Dharma")? I guess being guilty of being incapable of doing math is different though son

@Tachhen Tamang How are quadratic equations involved to find the answer? The question is asking to find for c^2 such that a^2+b^2=c^2. Meanwhile, a basic quadratic equation would be x^2+bx+c=0. I’m not trying to argue against your point, just wondering where quadratic equations show up in this question.

@Patrick Martin Perhaps, but he was not asked to do it in a particular stretch of time. The audience could have got it wrong because of the limited time available, but the man shouldn't have had to use a lifeline at such an easy question anyway.

@Patrick Martin Dude you're justifying not knowing the 6th grade math. I am not expecting everyone to know calculus but this is like basic stuff. If you don't know this, then I don't know what you know. ‘Bad at math’ isn't a thing to be proud of. If you were confused with trigonometry, logarithms or something like that, it's acceptable.

If you know your times tables you should know all the whole square roots up to 100 (or 144 if your school did times tables up to 12).
Pretty much every school does times tables.

That said, the question isn't designed for people to work out, it's clearly designed to be for people who already know what a pythagorean triple is.

Why should the answer be sonething people in school anyway? Other who wants to be a millionaire questions don't test stuff you learnt in school.

@Shumbabala yeah but how would you even know to set it equal to specifically 25 at the start, without knowledgeable of Pythagorean triples. Are you just guessing which number might fit the equation.

@Patrick Martin I read your comment as "Not everyone is as smart as you, dummy. It's so dumb that you're smart and expect people not to be dumb. So you're dumb. Take that. It's so rude that you say mean things like that people should know how to multiply numbers up to 5x5 and add numbers such as 16 and 9... How can someone possibly expect another human to remember so much information that amounts to just a couple bytes on a computer?"

Do you hear how whiny you sound? Really, this question could have been solved by anyone who decided to memorize square numbers from 1^2 to 5^2. The fact that so many people think this is hard is only a testament to the joint failures of the American education system and the American attitude.

@Bionium I believe 75% of the audience had it wrong also. That means we should not expect “smart” answers here either. Enjoy your life and try to only be around people smarter than you who do not think they are smarter than everyone. Worked for me.

My god everyone trying to be a math god in this comment section when all you need to do is think and list all square numbers less than 49 (as it is the biggest number in the choices meaning we'll get 4,9,16,25,36) now just do simple addition of two numbers out of the list hence we'll get 4+9, 4+16, 4+25, 4+36, 9+16 and so on

LoL I even saw some using terms like Pythagorean theorem wtf?

@Shumbabala I've never heard of that theory in my life, not even during college. So this is news to me! But hey, it's fine, the more you know.

@Ios ok but did you ever play chess? Sometimes great players have made awful blunders, especially when caught for time and with pressure on, and yeah it looks obvious in retrospect. That is the only thing I wanted to say.

@Keven Vaughn I really only learned addition, subtraction, some multiplication, a bit of division, and how to tell time in elementary school. I never learned how to measure, in middle school I learned fractions, probably basic algebra, in high school was when I learned PEMDAS, learned how to do fraction problems, that's basically it, never learned square roots, never learned the pythagorean theorem. I'm kind of realizing that I graduated from high school but never really learned stuff that most ppl know when it comes to math.

@Patrick Martin I see you mentioned you may have had special education and I also don't know your age, so maybe this doesn't apply for you: while everyone is talking about Pythagoras and such, the truth is that you don't need to be aware of that to answer the question. It only requires knowledge of multiplication tables (and limited further to squares) and simple addition, both of which are taught in elementary school. The average adult should be capable of using that level of math. This is of course ignoring the factors of being nervous in front of an audience and choking under pressure. The audience doesn't really have those excuses though.

@Zachary In my initial comments, I said that the question "should be clearly defined" for those that speak English. My intent, and indeed the actual meaning of that statement, is not that the question is easy to solve, but that it was CLEAR in what it was asking. I said this in response to those who claimed it was wordplay or that it was a 'stupid question'.

Lots of difficult, even unsolvable questions are clearly defined--ESPECIALLY in math. There are hundreds of unsolved conjectures, a significant portion of which are questions that almost anybody can understand but nobody has solved. Don't mistake me saying that the question is 'clearly defined' for me saying that people who can't solve it are stupid. That's not the case. My Dad can't solve this question! Now obviously given that he was taught this, it would be expected of him to know the answer, but by no means does that make him stupid.

@Smol Boye well, I just went back and you did not say that they should know what the question is asking.

2nd of all, I didn't say I have a question in mind to ask. I said I'm sure there are numerous 6th grade questions I could ask you not math related and you wouldn't know.

I'm not going to go and look for a question to ask you. Because I don't know you and you could be a really smart person and it will go through doze a of 6th grade history questions until I could stump you. .y point would still be valid, but it's really not necessary and a waste if time. The same way you could ask me many 6th grade level questions and I would know majority of them. You said this is a 6th grade question. I don't remember learning square root in 6th grade, but I can tell you I never grasped square root equations, so right here is a question that stumped me mainly because I didn't know where to begin. And I'm sure if someone broke it down for me to understand it differently, I would have solved it as I mentioned earlier. I am kinda slow when it comes to math.

@Zachary I never said that everyone who speaks English should be able to solve the question, just that they should know what the question is asking. Read my comments again, slowly. "Clearly defined" means that the intent and parameters of the question are direct and unambiguous. You'll see that I have mentioned this multiple times in my responses to you, but you have failed to change your false representation of my comments.

I'm also curious about what your question is now, obviously you won't be able to trust my answer because google exists but for my own curiosity I'd love it if you gave me the question.

@Smol Boye this isn't about the game show ffs do you not understand what you wrote? You said anyone who speaks English should know how to solve this equation... Your example about eating healthy is dumb as it is not all else equal. It's not about knowing how to eat healthy but having the right mentality to eat healthy.

What you said is like saying that someone who is a plumber should know how to di electric work in a house. That insinuates that he's not a good plumber or that he's dumb or lazy because
"of course he should be able to do electric work; after all, he's a plumber!"

English has nothing to do with knowing math. One could flunk math but be a genius in everything else. In fact, I could ask you a history of science question that is "6th grade level" and I guarantee you wouldn't know it. How would you respond if I made the same comment to you about if you know English, than you should know that history question. It's demeaning and insulting and if you are too slow to understand the way you said it was very aggressive and ignorant, I cannot help you.

Don't forget are you smarter than a 5th grader show stumped most of the country and yet majority of those people who got wrong answers are very sucessdul in their life and. Sure they can stump you in a field that they "majored in"

@Zachary I've already explained my use of "should". I don't use it to insult anyone, just like saying "everyone should eat healthy" is not an insult to those who don't (nor is it insinuating that those who don't are not healthy themselves). Perhaps you're reading too much into my comment.

Also, this gameshow (to my knowledge) exclusively presents problems in word format, so anyone going on the show is presumed proficient.

@Smol Boye #3. That's where. Comparing knowing this to speaking English infers that it's that simple and anyone who doesn't know this answer and DOES speak English, is dumb. It's how it sounds and how I understood it.

And I didn't say it was wordplay but a problem solving format and some people get confused in problem solving and would rather have the equation straight forward.

Those who are not good at math find it more difficult to to solve math problems when it's mixed with in a worded question which is problem solving .

@Zachary No, my first comments were

1) "@RaniaIsAwesome  It's not wordplay."

2) "It is not wordplay. The question unambiguously and directly asks for a perfect square that can be decomposed into two smaller perfect squares by summation. I'm literally a math major and if this is wordplay then you're a bowl of chicken soup."

3) "This question should be clearly defined for all English speakers who paid attention beyond the sixth grade. Why is everyone here freaking out? The term "square number" is something everyone who at least speaks English should understand"

Where did I call it easy? I said the question should be clearly defined for those paid attention beyond the sixth grade (as in you know what is being asked, not necessarily the answer), and contested the statements of others who said this question was wordplay. I stand by both of those sentiments. I'm sorry but saying someone should remember what a square number is != calling them stupid no matter how you try to spin it.

(Note that I brought up my major because it's relevant to my opinion on whether something is a 'real math problem' or not)

Responding to my comment because you found it insulting is fine. I'm even glad that I get to talk to someone who has (for the most part) been respectful. But given that your first sentence of response called me a 'dumb fuck' kind of invalidates your 'high horse' argument.

@木原篤郎 if you only read 1 sentence of my comment, then go F off and read the actual full comments then delete this one so you don't look like a clown

@木原篤郎 if you only read 1 sentence of my comment, then go F off and read the actual full comments then delete this one so you don't look like a clown

@Zachary I mean, I am not a math major, and this really is an elementary school level question. Unless my school was really above average

@Zachary I mean, I am not a math major, and this really is an elementary school level question. Unless my school was really above average

@Niranx _YT yes, and it's most common form is a² + b² = c², which is exactly the question asked here. A Pythagorean triple is a group of three positive integers (so that excludes fractions) that follow the formula. The most known example is (3, 4, 5), another is (5, 12, 13). As I said, this is an easy addition question, you don’t really need to know the Pythagorean theorem or triples to solve it, but knowing them makes you solve it even faster.

@Smol Boye well, your entire initial comment was degrading anyone who didn't know how to answer the questions calling it a absolutely easy at a ln elementary school level then saying you're a math major. Like you mentioned, you are biased towards others not in your major. But I assure you a history of science major can answer a 6th grade question that you couldn't.

So to bask and belittle others who don't know something you do, is actually very insulting. I wanted to comment my thought on the post and after reading through some comments, I said I don't want to read anymore from people on a high horse not thinking about others and chose you because you said what you said in a very degrading way and then went on to say you're a math major which contradicts your entire point because if anyone would know the answer to a math question, it's a math major, and yet you don't think about what others may find as their weakness or strength

@Zachary I understand. I'm sorry that math is a negative thing for you--I admit I'm very biased when I think of other peoples' interest in math.

That said, where are we even disagreeing?

It's a question that is reasonable for a game show.

It's a well defined question (as in there is only one right answer).

It's a question that can be answered even from first principles (everyone could solve it given the basic information of what squares are and what summation is).

The wording--in my view--is unable to be simplified in any real sense. Rewording it for your understanding may very well obscure meaning for someone else.

With this in mind, I am struggling to see how my comments warranted the 'dumb fuck' moniker.

@Smol Boye I never said it was unreasonable. In fact, they could have asked a question that never was in the curriculum in the education system altogether even at the college level. It's a game show and they can ask whatever they want.

But math is a subject where either you get it or you don't. Then there's math examples written in a problem solving format which confuses people more especially people who struggle with math. Also, in general, square root is a more challenging area than other plain simple equations. So a person who struggled with math could very easily either forget this, or struggled with it just enough to pass it at the time of learning.

I will say this. I didn't even know where to begin when reading the question. I get anxiety looking at numbers and trying to figure out the answer. Some call it mathlexia, but idk about that. I can't think right when looking at a math example.

But when I saw commenters commenting the answer and how they got there, I would have been able to get the answer on my own if I was explained in simple terms what they were asking for in the question. I graduated college about 10 years ago and don't remember seeing a question like this in my life

@Zachary I'm sorry for misinterpreting you. But I never was of the mindset that "even I" know the answer. My point is that this is part of the basic mathematics curriculum in nearly every country, so anyone who is

a) an english speaker

b) at the appropriate grade level (6th grade-ish depending on the region) or above in school

should know the answer to this question. Reiterating my previous comment: this does not mean people who don't know the answer are stupid, just that some factor has come in to play that has prevented them from having this knowledge which they should have.

Therefore my stance is that this question is reasonable for a game show meant to test the knowledge of its contestants. I don't believe I'm being unreasonable.

@Smol Boye correct. But never said it's embarrassing that you are a math major. The dumb fuck was to acting like "even you" know the answer. But you are a major so it's more likely you would know it than a random person who hates math and tries to avoid it at all costs. Nothing about embarrassing to be a math major like you claimed I said

@Zachary Jeez dude I'm  a math major because I like math. The only reason I mentioned it is because some people were saying that this question was not a math question  but instead was wordplay, which is not true. Also, how is 'admitting' to being a math major embarrassing? The starter salaries for recent graduates are well above average, and just go up for those who pursue a masters or greater.

Pythagorean triples come up all the time in "real life"; that is, you don't need to be a math major (scoff!) to have use for the answer to this question. For just one example, it is common knowledge that to make sure that a frame is square, you can simply measure '3,4,5' around each corner and check to see that they create right triangles. If the skilled trades aren't considered useful to you, how about you build your own house and see how well you do.

I never said that people who didn't understand this question were stupid, just that they should know the answer. There are plenty of factors that can contribute to someone not knowing the answer--the american education system in particular comes to mind.

Please stop getting offended over other people who aren't even talking to or about you.

@Niranx _YT it's not exactly that this question is solved by Pythagoras' theorem, this is a simple addition question. It's just that you can solve it even faster if you know Pythagorean triples, and this question was about the most well-known of them (3, 4, 5), and almost everyone learns this one as an example when learning the theorem (and is used a lot in questions about it), so they are usually associated.

Like I could have easily figured this out when I was literally 4 or 5, but by the little computation power my brain had at that time. <br>Anyways, being able to calculate things fast doesn't mean much, but this is very very very basic and simple for a human being and should be.

@Patrick Martin well you should be able to add 9, 16 easily. I mean I just assumed that people can easily add two numbers and when they are less than 100, it should be much easier than that.
Anyways, since you can't add them, imagine if you bought something worth 25 dollars and gave 30 dollars, but they gave you 1 dollar as change and you took it.
See, you would be losing everything with not knowing basic things like addition like these and so I agree with the other person saying it's bare minimum. Anyways you prolly lost thousands of cash till now cuz you don't know how to add I guess, which also requires very less intelligence btw.

Even if you are not good at math, the first few squares can simply be memorized and require little math. This is no exception to the man in the video and even if he was bad at math, he should have revised at least a bit of math before entering the TV show.

@Patrick Martin if you didn't learn this in school, either you didn't pay attention or the school was really behind. My country is far behind in terms of education and we still learned it. Also, you don't need to know square roots, you just need to know the first few squares and just add them as trial and error

@Tsar Alexander I What if I never learned how to do square roots? Sure I can press the square root button on my calculator, but I obviously wouldn't have that option in this case. I've come to realize that a lot of ppl think that everyone learned the same things in high school, but that's just not the case, I was never taught this in school whatsoever.

@Patrick Martin bro this is literally always taught in high schools and even if you forgot the answer (which is quite rare), you can still use trial and error and just add random squares to see if they add up to squares.

@RaniaIsAwesome 25 which is a perfect square and it is the sum of two perfect squares; 16 and 9.

3 x 3 = 9
4 x 4 = 16
5 x 5 = 25

(3^2) + (4^2) = 5^2

Its pretty simple. The person didn't know basic math but thats ok- its never too late to learn!

@Honyopenyoko you can def use the Pythagorean theorem here. using a^2+b^2=c^2, set c^2 = 25. you can decompose 25 into 2 very easy square numbers, 16 (4^2) and 9(3^2), in other words 4^2+3^2=c^2=25. kindergarten choice completed 👍

@Bionium It’s called the Pythagorean Theorem and it doesn’t help here. The Pythagorean Theorem states a^2 + b^2 = c^2. In this case we do know c is one of four choices, but the question isn’t asking for the sum <b>squared</b> of two squares, just the plain sum. Close but not it. This question is solve for c (given c= 16 || 36 || 25 || 49) using the formula a^2 + b^2 = c.

@Bonk_RL no, they actually assumed like this (2+2)×(2+2)=16
Whereas it would be
a²+b²=c²
They thought it in reverse way
Option A.16 was given intentionally make them thought like that way if there was no option A.16 then they might have chosen 25

@Zapal Blizh personally the question was worded perfectly imo, I think it's more about not knowing what square numbers mean that throws the audience off. Not knowing any number except 1 multiplied by itself is a square number.

i think people were confused by the phrasing of the question and proceeded to not reread it and just went for a random answer most of them

@Bambina Forever it's not middle school math. It's third grade math. Your teachers failed you horribly.

@Bambina Forever it's not middle school math. It's third grade math. Your teachers failed you horribly.

@Peter square number is NOT  horrible name because they are literally the numbers that make up squares when you build squares out of blocks, and because they literally ARE squares exactly as you say. Square roots are the roots of square numbers. The fact that this concept can be generalized to include irrationals in no way makes the term confusing. Similarly for cubic numbers: they literally are the number of blocks it takes to build cubes of unit cube side length. Similarly for quartic numbers, quintic, etc. And similarly for all of their roots. The problem is that your math education system, and in particular your 3rd grade teacher, failed you.

@Braedo but in general if you ever really want to learn something, think how you would explain it to a toddler, then after that to someone who had learned what you just taught the toddler, and so on. Until you can do that you don't really understand it.

@Braedo you're correct. And smaller class sizes.

@Braedo you're correct. And smaller class sizes.

@John Paul Jaubert Bro we need teachers like you

@John Paul Jaubert Bro we need teachers like you

@Braedo you're proving my point. You should consider taking what you know now and thinking how you would choose to teach math to a kid growing up if you were the one responsible for teaching them everything. I think you'd find that it might be very different than how you were taught. Start with succession (adding one), then introduce the idea of iteration, then introduce addition as an iteration of succession, then introduce the idea of inverse, then subtraction and the number line, then introduce multiplication as an iteration of addition, area, then division and fractions, then exponentiation as an iteration of multiplication, then roots as inverses of exponents (then logarithms). Use blocks and manipulables at EVERY step. Introduce basic geometry and graphs at appropriate points (ie. start introducing them around multiplication). Introduce concepts of algebra at the same time. Start pointing out interesting sequences and operations at appropriate times, such as Fibonacci, and other operations such as factorial. Introduce  logic puzzles and WODNB problems around age 7. Using this "ground up" method it's easily possible to introduce the hyperoperations, logarithms, the ideas of irrational and nonalgebraic numbers, ideas from non-Euclidean geometry, higher dimensional geometry, Ford circles and Apollonian gaskets, space filling curves, the Horn of Gabriel, and the basic ideas of calculus, etc. all by 4th or 5th grade. Then you can introduce the complex numbers and radians after that. Then onward from there.

Square numbers are just the backbone of the multiplication table, and thus can be taught as early as 2nd grade, and certainly by 3rd. Patterns in them, such as that they are also the sequence given by the sum of odd numbers (and why) should also be taught at the same time.

But our math education is sch!te and goes as slow as is necessary for the slowest and least attentive in a class of 20 to keep up. So America sux and Americans are kept stupid.

@Bonk_RL no. They're just awful at basic math. 16 isn't a sum of any two squares (of integers), nor are any of the other numbers except 25. This is a failure of the US education system.

It's not even middle school. It's 3rd or 4th grade at most.

@Bonk_RL Actually, it's phrased just fine. There are extra bits of information, like including the fact that the numbers are themselves squares (though this is likely done to drive home to people what a square number is), and saying that the number is a sum of smaller squares (of course they're smaller if their sum equals the answer.)

Also, you're saying the question isn't properly framed, while also saying people were weak at English. Which one is it?

I thought you were joking, deliberately having made a mistake in adding up the wrong answer percentage, but you were in fact looking at the AOL audience data.

@Michael Havens tbf if everyone sees that 1 option is more popularly voted and they dont know how to do the math themselves, they would obviously pick the most popular one (assuming they can see the vote counts themselves) but regardless, pretty crazy still

Take it a step further. This was a multiple choice question. The odds of guessing the right answer is 25%. 22% of the audience got it right. This means that in theory, an audience of monkeys would have answered the question with more success.

@Dry137 the sum of two smaller squared numbers,  2*x^2 = 25, x= sqrt(25/2), and sqrt(25/2)^2 != 25 but 25/2, i honestly don't understand the question

even people good with math can't possibly  understand what the question asking, cuz it come to verbal intelligent rather than math logic here. if they just display the question with equation and replaced with unknow variable like x to find, it would be much easier to understnad

@Peter That's nonsense, there is no such thing as a "squared number" and it wouldn't even make sense.

You literally gave an example of a "squared number" being the square of an irrational number. By that definition - every single number - can be declared "squared number" and the term would be useless. Hence why it isn't used anywhere.

"square integer" is just as horrible. It's ambiguous and may imply that it's enough for the resulting square to be an integer. By that definition 2 would again be a candidate (as would be literally every single integer).

"Square number" may not be the most descriptive name, but there simply is nothing to mix it up with in the first place. Seriously, in Germany kids in second and third grade learn the small multiplication table and know what square numbers are.

If you're an adult attending a game show about knowledge and fuck up a primary school math question you should be ashamed. (unless you have a legitimate disability)

@Victos Vertex I still don't understand what you are talking about. 2²+2²=8

@Victos Vertex I still don't understand what you are talking about. 2²+2²=8

@Bonk_RL 2+2= 4 and 4²=16 still makes no sense on so many levels, the question literally asked for a solution that - is - the sum of two smaller square numbers.

Your "solution" requires multiple mistakes, not just some English weakness:
- your solution is not a sum, it's a square
- the sum in your solution isn't between two square numbers
- 2 is not a square number, thus shouldn't even be part of the solution
- your solution doesn't even contain two smaller square numbers to begin with

You make it sound as if the audience was full of people who barely finished their first English class. Seriously, in Germany any kid in secondary school (age 12+) should have enough reading comprehension to understand the task.

I've taught many people in my life and I've encountered countless people who froze when hearing any mathematical term like "sum of square numbers" and then shout out some "sounding correct enough" answer. Not because they didn't understand it in the specific language, but because they never learned to stay calm when it came to mathematics. Instead they either freeze, jump to conclusions or both.

This is also the reason why many people get the Bat-and-Ball problem wrong.

@Bonk_RL However it should be noted that the expression "square number" is unambiguously defined and if you say "The sum of two square numbers" it is thus 100% unambiguous that this means you are looking at the sum of two positive integer numbers that can each be written as the square of another positive integer number.<br>For this reason, the sentence is indeed properly framed and if someone misunderstands that, it's really on them and no problem with the question.

@Bonk_RL that argument could've been made if he asked for a pen and paper to write the linear equation down but just couldn't figure it out because of the confusing English, but the fact that he didn't even try to do that invalidates it. I know most 4th grader Indian kids would be able to solve this correctly because the question didn't have any time limit.

You would be amazed sometimes... I once saw a little math short of the type "what is the correct answer", and it was literally a simple math question involving addition and subtraction with like 3 or 4 numbers.
I kid you not, I found someone in the comment section writing a VERY wrong answer, and on top of that insisting that everyone else who got something else was so stupid not to know the right answer. We are talking basic plus and minus rules and in which order to do the operations.
Me, who had recently been having my struggles with a very tough math course at university level, at that moment I reminded myself that "at least I am not THAT bad at math" 🤣.

Actually, it is possible that the audience collectively sabotaged him into getting the wrong answer.

@Sorest same, there I tried to apply complex stuff that I have learnt during my journey through both calculus. Due to that I've overlooked the simplest answer. It's this sort of question a kid or a person who likes math or works with it wouldn't have any problem to answer correctly, however when use more complex thought process it becomes daunting task to get it right under a limited scope of time(1min)

Lmao, not gonna lie, I have finished calculus 3 and failed the question XD. Got confused and thought it had to be the sum of the same number. Like 8+8 = 16. Fell on the reading comprehension YIKES

@Bonk_RL  eh fugget about it, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done the same thing at least once before.

So you mean non-fluent speakers might have read the question as ‘what is the second square number going from lowest to highest’? Maybe, I could buy that, if not for the fact that it’s a very safe bet that the overwhelming majority of the audience is fluent English speakers, if not NATIVE speakers. So I still think it’s more likely because the audience didn’t think it through. Although to be fair they don’t exactly get a lot of time to vote. It was like 5 seconds, they should really have double that at least. Although the AOL poll (which I have to assume was untuned if it was taken from the web) yielded similar results, so maybe that factor had almost no effect.

@Bonk_RL exactly my point. I did not even understand what the hell do they want. Not English thou

That was not a middle school math. I did not even understand what they were asking

@Capt-Intrepid problem is he didnt even try. He didnt read the question a second time nore did he calculate anything.<br>He purely just relied on the majorities answer.

@Capt-Intrepid Pressure sure, but the host even said "take your time".

@Capt-Intrepid mf who said anything about the Pythagorean theorem? Also I scanned through the question and knew the answer before they even finished giving all 4 answers, it really isnt difficult

Nonsense. This is not an easy question to do in your head under pressure with limited time.  And knowing the Pythagorean theorem formula doesn't help it go any faster.

@Fatin Amirah it's either you know or you dont. simple. lol

@Fatin Amirah no shit, but i mean like read the question bro it's so blatantly obvious what the meaning is when u break it down. "which of these square numbers also happens to be the sum of two smaller square numbers" so which of the 4 presented squares numbers r the sum of 2 smaller square numbers, it really isnt difficult and after thinking about it the audience prolly just saw that everyone else was voting 16 so they did as well

@Dry137 that's for you not everybody thinks like you bro

@Brett Knutson yeah i know people make mistakes but the other people just don't understand

@Bonk_RL that how I read the question as, so I also thought it was A

@Bonk_RL i mean i literally scanned through it and understood it no problem, if u even put any thought to what they r asking its pretty obvious

@Bonk_RL It turns out I saw this video 4yrs ago and saw my comment from then. (YT knew I forgot I saw it, hehe). I thought people processed the question wrong, probably thinking the question was asking for 2x2 times 2x2.

On second thought, probably most KNEW they couldn't understand the question then reworked it backwards to MAKE it fit 2x2 x 2x2. "The question is weird. Surely this is what it means. I have to answer SOMETHING."

Confirmation bias in mathematical form. It doesn't occur to most people to form no time-senstive opinion at all.

@Donnie Bao And they punctuate it with "bro" or variation.
"Bruh! You the only one saying it, bruh!🤣 Your the only one, bruhhh!!! 🤣🤣🤣"

Trombone. 😖 On second thought I should walk away from these people.

nah I think it's just that their reading comprehension probably sucks like mine. The question was worded well but I misread the word "sum" and it messed me up badly💀

@C Ch If most people agree about anything that requires analysis, they are almost certainly wrong. (outside of a context with selection bias is present, e.g. all harvard grads, or confounding variables, e.g. all were just told the answer)

Man people got confused with the question. The sentence isn't properly framed. People assumed it like: 2²+2²=8 and 8²=64 <br>People weren't really weak at math but rather weak at English.

I'm going to send people to this video when I'm caught in those situations where a majority of dingalings assume they HAVE to be right purely because more of them agree.
