tbh even with this wording I found this a pushover, but that’s probably since I’m really interested in math. Someone who didn’t really take interest in math would probably be confused under this pressure. But I gotta say, that audience must either be extremely ignorant or just trolling. No way only 30% got it right unironically.

I’ve always been good at math, but I haven’t taken a math class in over 5 years. I definitely forgot about 3 4 5 thing. I also completely misinterpreted the question lol

How would you have worded it? I don't see how it could really have been worded any simpler

American republicans elected Trump, Lauren Boebert, Maggot Taylor Greene, etc.  There is no level of stupidity this country is bounded by. They're about to elect a former football player to the senate who is so brain dead he literally can't create coherent sentences.

Dang that means I must be really dumb in Math I mean  I never also figured it out until it was explained

@Fernando Vargas Mejía 16+9=25. 16=4^2 and 9=3^2. this is a common fact that follows from the pythagorean theorem

@Fernando Vargas Mejía Option A was 16. All the squares under 16 are 1, 4 and 9. No pair equals 16.

Option B was 25. As taught in geometry, 3² + 4² = 5², or 9 + 16 = 25.

Option C was 36. All the squares under 36 are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25. No pair equals 36.

Option was D was 49. All the squares under 49 are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 39. No pair equals 49.

And so, Option B (25) is the answer.

Can you explain why 25 is the right answer?

abrar khan but are the "dumb" people really dumb or just poorly educated?<br>That bloke who worked out the mass of black holes was Indian.  I remember him as Chandra but I think that was a shortened version of his surname.  Had to battle to be taken seriously and eventually won Nobel.prize.

If indians are smarter why don't they know how a shower works

This isn't even just an unfounded racist stereotype I have never met an indian that doesn't smell like straight up ass and BO unless they've lived in America long enough and figured out that this isn't socially acceptable.

Also indians that have established a citizenship in the United States are Americans so if you want to prove that people are india are smarter than Americans you can't use them as an example.

India is best. Talented people are thrown away. Money is preferred over skill. We lack money so we never get opportunity to show the world what we can do. Besides this there is casteism, there is an environment of showing off where everyone follows the same trend for showing we're better than our siblings, our neighbors. Our country will never develop. All the schemes, agenda that are for country development, that money goes into the pockets of the ones who are carrying the burden of development. Yes this country is good for politicians.

@Cybercop if they really were all that stronger they would never have needed our help in the world war thanks to which we have our freedom. That shows that the britishers used our human resources better than ourselves

@Cybercop oh boy oh boy do you even know the ratio of the British invaders to the indian population? It was 1:10000. It's not even arguable that it required more than just power (guns and weapons) to keep such an overwhelming number of people under their command. Intelligence has many aspects. Not just theoretical intelligence is called intelligence. We are good at that i know. But we are way behind in political intelligence and that shows still to this day.

@Orion pax  abrar khan  oh boy so many wrong facts. Britishers took over India because they were stronger not because they were smarter. Before Islamic and western invasion India was the leader in wealth and knowledge. People form far away countries came to India to gain knowledge and to trade items. India never had to attack another country because we already had everything. Meanwhile Britishers were on a spree attacking America, Africa, Australia, etc. They had strong army meanwhile Indians had a pretty basic army. Any street thug can beat up bill gates but that doesn't mean he can create his own multinational company.

@Kaps wishes I don't think so. No one other than India doesn't even seem to care about this comment.

@Orion pax don't apologize to these morons, they will have already spent nearly a century in the dirt, believing themselves to be residing in a palace. So long as their mind proliferates in India the truly productive and courageous will have no recourse except running away.

Indians place near dead last on international competitive test scores. Our national institutions of excellence produce cheap labour for western companies, that's about all there is to it.
As of right now, Indians are one of the most impoverished and ignorant population on the planet.
Americans are quite literally the most sophisticated, on average.
Your ignorance is the source of your misapprehension of your own grandeur and btw the golden bird nonsense is fabricated mythology by the retards who keep India the open toilet that it is.
We could have perhaps made some progress but that would require that we acknowledge just how retarded we actually are but it won't happen so the Indians with some sense left will keep running away As if the devil himself was chasing them. You ignorant lot have turned India into an economic prison for those who have more courage and the ability to reform themselves. Congratulations.

@Orion pax lets end this here bro. Its all good

@Pseudo Liberal i am sorry because i was rude on my behalf

@Pseudo Liberal i am sorry because i was rude on my behalf

@HIMANSHU CHOUDHARY I think i was wrong about some stuff about saying that it's a gutter. That was not an appropriate way to write a comment or any conversation for that matter. I am sorry guys and I'll not do that again.

@Orion pax btw my situation is similar to you bro. I am from a middle class family and pursuing btech and i do have a family to take care of... Everyone does.   And i know its difficult to find job..  but again complaining is not going to help. Its completely upto you if you want to move to some other country like USA because they are going to know your worth and pay you more. But please, India is not a shithole or a gutter. We are happy here and i love my country more than any other

@Orion pax what if we had a 1.5 billion population and everyone was educated and standing by your side looking for a job. You got lucky😂

@Orion pax what if we had a 1.5 billion population and everyone was educated and standing by your side looking for a job. You got lucky😂

@HIMANSHU CHOUDHARY i never complained. Because I never started first. Someone else did and i was just stating that person why he's wrong in a certain sense. I never started myself complaining about what's going on in this country. And  i understand when you say you will serve this country because it has offered you what you have right now. But that doesn't mean everyone has to. What i mean to say is it totally depends on the situation. Your situation is obviously totally different than mine. Everyone's situation is different. If you can strive here then you should do it but many people can't even have a job which they deserve in this country. I am studying engineering. And it's the bitter truth that engineers don't get nearly good of a job as they should. What the hell will i do if I don't even have job that can satisfy my needs. I obviously have to have a family of my own in the future. I want my kids to have a better life. It's not like other countries pay more. It's just that indian companies pay less. They don't value their employees as much as they should

@Orion pax i would like to tell you one thing. I totally understand that india could be much better than it is at the moment, we have a high illiteracy rate and being one of the most populated nation, its a big problem that majority is illiterate. But being a citizen of this country, its my responsibility to make my country better. I was borned here, i was raised here and this country gave me everything i needed to make my life better and i am not the one who is going to run away just because this country has a lot of problems. I am going to return the favour being a valuable citizen of the country and do anything i could possibly do to make my country better. So rather than complaining, which never helps btw, lets do something to make our country better.

@HIMANSHU CHOUDHARY obviously that doesn't mean i am calling the country to be a gutter. The people who should be responsible to keep the country clean aren't doing their job. That's why it is how it is right now. For what's it worth. I try my best to keep my country clean from my behalf. But most of the people don't and also the municipal corporation doesn't do as good of a job. That's what i meant. And obviously how the hell can it be countries fault? It's the fault of the people of the country

AsaD Ali the first step of improving upon something is to recognize the fact that it needs improvement. Most of the people actually don't recognize. So it has to be pointed out. I was pointing it out. And as the hadith says i must either talk good or be silent. But the thing is i never said anything bad. I said the truth. There is a very very big difference between talking bad and talking the truth. Why will i talk bad about the country. I love my country because i was born on it's soil. I just addressed the people of the country. Not the country. There is a difference bro

That's elementary maths in india a 10year old would solve that with ease

That's elementary maths in india a 10year old would solve that with ease

@Pseudo Liberal dude let it be you will never understand because you don't want to. Fine you like to live in this shit it's ur choice. People are migrating outside not because they don't love India but because this country doesn't have anything to offer them for their hard work. But i think you are the kind of worm who likes to live in a gutter. Fine suit yourself. I don't think i can invest more of my time to have a talk with you cause you won't understand. Intelligence is accounted by measuring different aspects of how our brain work and it's not just limited to a single type of smartness like maths. We are behind in many fields of technology, education, standard of living we are ahead in poverty. If we were really so smart we would have formed an excellent government to handle all this stuff. Don't argue with me you can't change this fact no matter how hard you try. Living here is a different thing and like to live here id a different thing. You like it because you are a rat who likes a shit hole.

@Orion pax there is a specific reason why I called you a Pakistani, and there's a word called "theory" written on the comment, which probably you don't know the meaning of, hence the reply.
Secondly, family and individual example, as expected your small narrow minded brain didn't understand the point of it, you can't think beyond your box. it's fine if you want to call me a stupid, I don't mind because neither you nor anyone on the internet knows who am i and what i have achieved so calling me stupid here isn't going to affect my real self anyway.
On the other hand though, i have, with examples proven your narrow minded mentality wrong, but ofcourse it's too small and oppressed to understand and digest them. Comparing an invasion to someone's intelligence, that's only as far as you can think with your intellect,
So it really is pointless to talk with a brick wall like you, don't care about your obvious response, notifications will be off.

@Pseudo Liberal u just proved that you are a stereotype. How can u assume i am a pakistani or whatever. Pakistan ke alawa aur koi muslim country nahi hai kya world mei? See how less of a brain you have lol. I am an indian and i am proud to be one but it doesn't mean I'll ignore the truth or the facts. Unlike you or many others. Tum jaise logo ke wajah se hi India ki average intelligence kam hai lol. You are comparing a nation to a normal family. Some brain you have. Jake doctor ko dikhao. A nation is run by a group of people and is required to make good political decisions. Unlike a small family. Hum indians itne chutiye the ki bahar walo ko ghusne diye. There is no second thought about it so stop fucking arguing. And stop thinking that every muslim is a pakistani. Is that how small you think the world is? There is a big world across our border. If you don't know about it maybe your living under a fucking rock. Number of muslim countries are second largest after Cristian dominant countries. Tera smartness toh isse hi samajh aata hai ki tughe India aur Pakistan ke alawa aur kuch nahi samajh aata. Move on dude

@Orion pax look man, I'm going to give you a strong advice. You should move to your masters that you consider superior and work for them as a slave. I'm pretty sure that's your dream because for you, you are just an interior being with zero knowledge.
Now, I'm going to say this one last time because i know your inferior mentality (or the Pakistani brain, I'm pretty sure of this theory because no indian will be as stupid as you) isn't going to digest what i speak once again.
So, invaders right? Since when invasion ke liya smartness jruri ho gayi? You're justifying enslaving a civilisation on tip of sword and guns as being smart? So if i decide to point guns on someone's family from behind, ask them to be my slave or else I'll torture them and kill them, and afterwards destroy and demolish them from both inside and out so they can't fight back, then I'll be called a smart person and that family will be dumb? Just wow, you really are a product of a brainwashed system.
Anyway, keep on going, i don't have time to waste on your nonsensical crap that has zero validity.

@Pseudo Liberal ok so tell me this smart guy. If we indians were so smart how come we got bested by the britishers? And not only britishers but many others like french, Portuguese etc. Lol. All that smartness didn't work when fighting for our own fucking human rights. Haha. It took 190 fucking years? I don't think it's smart if you are so slow to make a formidable resistance. And for the matter of fact we didn't even win our freedom by fighting back. It was a petition for freedom by giving our men in the world war to fight for England. Now u say if i am smart or what lol. Apparently we weren't smart enough to protect our so called golden age. Haha what a fucking joke.

As for crimes and sexual discrimination, go and get your facts checked. Even your superpower usa has more crimes and rapes than india, britain as well, and many other "advanced countries"
Oh and don't even get me started with your Islamic countries. Women don't even have basic human rights in those nations let alone other facilities.
It has nothing to do with smartness.

@Orion pax wow, you aren't the smart one afterall eh? Let me simplify it for you. money is everything(in terms of development and technology), if you can't understand that then you need to read how advanced technology india had when it was the golden bird. People risked their lives by travelling far on the ocean just to find India. Figure the reason for that yourself.
You can't just make raw materials and money by magic for R&D. You need money, but India's money is gone with the British Empire.
Smartness can't be measured in terms of advanced tech of a nation, but yes there is indeed a way to measure that and its called competition. Wherever you are in the world, you'll mostly find the fact that indians always score higher than others, and they pass all interviews and get jobs as against these people from your advanced nations.
Again as anyone from any country is reading this, I'm not putting down any nation here(ok maybe I'm putting down Britain but that's fine with me), I'm only giving statistics for an argument.

@Pseudo Liberal but if you actually wanna compare then the USA has far more accomplishments than we ever had. There is a reason it's a super power currently and we are not. I am not bashing our people. It's just facts nothing else. This intelligence is useless if we cannot use it to help our own people at the most basic level. All that ISRO and everything comes after. The base of a building is made first not the terrace. We still have a very high poverty rate. And illiteracy rate. Sexual discrimination. How exactly have our collective intelligence helped us in this situation? The amount of such problems in India is pathetically high. I know you don't have anything to say about it that's why u ain't answering. Because this is the truth not my personal opinion.

Oh another example of indians being smart in general and proving it on a global level when they get the required resources will have to be ISRO. Reaching mars in such a low budget and on the first attempt is not your everyday common incident. And that's just one of their many accomplishments that they achieved in much much lower budget than anyone can even imagine.

@Pseudo Liberal even if we agree that an average person is smart here it doesn't make a difference. Because at the end that smartness isn't benefiting our nation as a whole is it? What's the point of being so smart if we as a nation can't use it to improve our standard of living. India is a underdeveloped country as stated by the UN. It's here in our schools that tells us the lie that we are considered as a developing country. We ourselves consider us as that. The world thinks otherwise. We literally have to have toilet advertisement on our television. How are we smart if we literally need a toilet banao aur use karo advertising in 2018.

@Orion pax not true. Average indian minds are smart, it's true for atleast the native ones.<br>Have you heard of jugaad?

@Nikith TN  not only they but most of the county's people think that we indians are dumb. Because the truth is he have a very small ratio of people who are smart as compared to dumb people. I agree in maths our average intellect is good but maths isn't everything. As far as all over intelligence is concerned many people in India are dumb. And we also have some of the brightest minds. What i am trying to say is india is quite extreme in this department. We either have very intelligent people or very dumb people. Quantity of average intellect is comparatively low than usual. Which gets our average intellect lower

They all think Indians are dumb and we worship cow, but they have no idea of how dumb we think they are 😂😂🤣🤣

For some reason, the way I read the question threw me off, not the way it was worded. I don't know the proper wording for it, but basically I was thinking something like this: some value squared, or x^2 also has 2 of the same smaller numbers that when squared, each equal the original value, or x. This is why I originally thought it was A. Dyslexia had kicked in hard for me, then I finally read the question properly and understood what it said, and understood why it was B.

It clearly says square numbers both times.

Yep, I thought the smaller numbers were the same. But none of those would have 2 numbers like that.

undead890 Yeah, the question is messed up, the sum is not a product, if you were to change sum to product then it would make more sense. Tbh thats just fucking stupid.

skrillex544 I THOUGHT THAT TOO but i saw the comment section and i understood now lol

Dude saaaaaammee<br>I thought 16^1/2 = 4 and 4÷2 is 2 and because 2^2 = 4 it must mean its 16 XD idk why but the even numbers looked too nice to pass up ☺

Dude saaaaaammee
I thought 16^1/2 = 4 and 4÷2 is 2 and because 2^2 = 4 it must mean its 16 XD idk why but the even numbers looked too nice to pass up ☺

Exactly what I thought. The question was worded unfairly.


Has no one in the audience heard of the 3-4-5 triangle (3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2)? Pythagorus? No?

EarthClad There are only two explanations for your answer: first one, you're too young to know this; second one, you're part of the croud (aka you're american).

Thats how I immediately knew the answer was 25.

Root 25 = 5

Americans.
The answer is no.
I do (I'm Portuguese).

Ay yo I just learned that in math class just yesterday.

Jimmy Mackinnon that’s because they answer the q’s ahead of time

Does anyone else notice that when someone uses the “ask the audience” lifeline, the audience is given no time to think?

It's America. It's unfair to expect them to know the Pythagoras theorem. They'll know how to make pot, though.

About the recyprocal word, at least in the way I learned (Europe), we have always called it recyporcal, I don’t know how you call it in USA, (if you’re from there), and it’s basically what combinations a right triangle can have.

e.mc2 weird site. I've got a book on calculus. I'm going to start reading it in July when all my exams are done. GCSEs are important so I cannot use time on learning things outside my syllabus.

I guess I can understand your point of view.

check out this site for calculus: http://phyfox.altervista.org/maths/

e.mc2 using the word reciprocal? I don't know if that was an attempt to look clever or I don't know something. Last time I checked a reciprocal was turning a number into a fraction and flipping it.

e.mc2 Who said there is need for Pythagoras? I'm trying to say that Pythagorean triples would make this easier and there are links. Most people learn a few sets. It's like learning the trigonometric values: sin 30 being 1/2, tan 45 being sqroot3. It's just useful when you have no calculator.

it was a joke man... it was a joke

e.mc2 Who the actual fuck even says "maths is my beach".

if the poor guy was not able to answer such a basic question, how do you think he would know anything about pythagoras theorem, that´s my point, there was no need for the pythagoras in this situation.

_p_y_t_h_a_g_o_r_a_s_

e.mc2 is that how you even use the word reciprocal? Clearly this has links to Pythagoras when numbers like 3,4,5 and 6,8,10 are frequently thrown around. Pythagoras is exactly what the guy asks: two smaller sides which are squared into a bigger number squared.

You probably know more about maths than I do. I just became 16 and the most complicated thing I've probably done in maths is triangles within a 3d shapes using cosine rule, sin rule, and geometrical proofs. I'm at a stage where I don't learn much more and it's all refinement before I go into my next year where I'll start learning new things like calculus. I don't need to be a genius to tell you that Pythagoras theorem has links here.

+No Name

if you´re trying to teach the pythagoras theorem, your late...only if you tried when I was 5.
Mathematics is my beach, and I also know that there´s no need for the pythagoras reciprocal in this occasion. Just basic arithmetics.

e.mc2 There is a thing called Pythagorean triples.

3^2+4^2=5^2

The numbers that fit in perfectly without any surds are fitted under Pythagorean triples.
3,4,5 and 5,12,13

Really? Pythagoras? Wanna go for calculus to find out 3^2+4^2 to.

i could say the same about you   45%+23%+10% its not 100%, so obviously at least some people know about that<br>but they get the multiplier wrong, u get the addition , so u case is more severe.

I heard of it. That's how I immediately knew the answer.

the Pythagorean theorem is unknown to literally everyone in the room smh

Ah that's where I saw that trio. Pythagorean triples. I knew what the answer was without having to think about it but couldn't recall why the numbers were special.


The wording on the question is kind of confusing. I also thought it was 16, until I read a comment here and realized what the question was actually asking.

For the people still confused, here's your explanation:
It's not asking for the square root of the square root. It's asking for the answer that has two numbers that both add up to get the answer and also have a square root. In this case, 16+9=25.

@bowlchamps37 It's because I have never heard anyone call squares as "square numbers" in my country so I interpreted it as "squared numbers" as in something like x^2. this resulted in me thinking 3^2+4^2=x^2. Looking back now, I realize the question was very simple.

@lx How when the word square root is not even mentioned? It´s like answering this question with "red".

I am not a native English speaker and even I got the question right.

@1991Luke maybe because he assumed it was

I literally also thought about the square root of the square root. Weird.

What a crappy description made me confused

@Elirei Out of curiosity, what made you think this?

Its actually very unambiguous and to the point: "I want squareNumberAnswer = squareNumber1 + squareNumber2"

People apparently dont know what a square number is lmao.

@Elirei i think a lot of people, myself included,  went down that train of thought because we glossed over the keyword "sum" and were thinking about "products" and that following that we made some wrong kind of deduction

I thought the numbers have to be exactly the same lol

omg thank you so much ahhaha I already understand lol

You earn money by being BRAINWASHED

Nah, the incredibly flawed schooling system in America is a failure currently unless if you're talking about these fancy pieces of papers at the end which does averagely make you earn more money in a lifetime. This is more like why we should be committed to a lifetime self-education.


Isn’t the 3-4-5 right triangle the first thing they teach in geometry?

@ArkenLegend Lol yes. It's obviously America (Disclaimer: It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously)

I don't think any of them studied math from whichever country they are from. Since why would anyone ask such a simple question for such a high amount.

@Shaziya Altaf Don't act smart. Dumbass.

How could I not understand that, u are a complete idiot, lol

@Nipon S boi u got me right there........

Now im feel so dumb (-_-')

Jim giannou me too dude i thought it was 16....like sqaure of 4 is 16 ans 4 itself is a square of 2 right? So the sum is 2+2=4 and 4×4=16....hahaha..i went too deep...i understood the question completely different....

I don't mean to insult you but you are either very young or very stupid


But Thanos wasn't going to just kill the 70%; the ratio of smart to dumb would remain.


the question is kind of badly worded because it doesn't specify that the smaller square numbers be integers. 25 is still a pretty obvious answer, though.

ClaudiBAM BAM
um...no. PutItAway101 definitely used the word literally correctly.... i think it's you who are not understanding just how much youve proved him right....
Ben F is right in how we use the word "literally" in slang nowadays as a hyperbole (ex: that is literally the most disgusting thing on earth), youve been incorrect in how you think the word is working.
what you LITERALLY said was- and i QUOTE (because thats how you make sure what your writing is LITERALLY what the other person said--aka "word for word" as your definition states) [The world "literally" is used when you say what you think the person actually meant by something that person said, and in that comment you're using the word "literally" for something that a person exactly said, which makes you give the word "literally" the wrong use.]
I'm really sorry but you are incorrect. literally is used when you are exact and absolute. "when you say what you think the person actually meant by something that person said" is indeed, an "interpretation" or "guess" or an "assumption".

For example:
"You literally just stepped in dog poop" means that, you just stepped in dog poop.
versus
Person A:"Wow this tastes bad"
Person B: "Yeah this cake tastes gross"
Person A:" No, I meant the soup"
because in this case, from what you HEARD, B ASSUMED A was talking about cake (based on what B THOUGHT A was talking about due to B's interpretation) when A was talking about soup. <--this one was a weaker example but you get the idea.

It does actually, concept of "square numbers" is specifically limited to only integers. Otherwise yeah you could say 3^2 + sqrt(7)^2 = 16

PutItAway101 Ohhhhhh, yes, I somehow actually skipped the phrase "word for word" while looking at the meanings I posted. You were just so lazy in placing the complete meaning...

P.S I have to remind you you're actually loosing your genius image!!!!!!

ClaudiBAM BAM Uhh, moron, I've done that three times already. For the FOURTH TIME. Can you see where where your definition says "word for word"? That is what I was doing when I quoted the other idiot word for word. Which part of "word for word" are you having trouble understanding? Is it the "word" or the "for"? And if you don't understand the definition you posted, why did you post it?

Forenamn Efternamn Thanks! What I find the most hilarious about all of this, is that these morons keep saying that I think I'm some kind of genius. Uhhh, no, I never claimed to be a genius, I just claimed to have paid attention in maths claths when I was 8 or 9 years old when we learned this. If they think third grade maths is genius level, that says a lot about them. LOL. And this other assclown claims I think I'm "the best around" because I humiliated him by knowing the correct meaning of "literally". That is not considered a world-beating acheivement by anyone except a total moron.
They can't grasp that I'm not claiming to be higher than average intelligence or education, I'm just pointing out that they are lower than average. Much lower. Which they combine with an unjustifiably arrogant beligerance. Anyone can make a mistake and get something wrong. They could just come on here and politely question "Are you sure that that is right, becuase I thought...", and they'd get a polite expanation of why it's right But no. Because they're so stupid they don't even realise they're stupid, they march in,  all guns blazing, abusively arrogant from the get go, shouting how right they are. That is what makes them morons, as opposed to just being some normal person who's made a simple mistake. They choose to up their stupidity by that extra notch.  Obviously they get the response they deserve.

PutItAway101 You know, I really don't get why you just don't pick one of the definitions I gave to shut me up, you look like an imbecile honestly.

Insthead of looking the way that I'm telling you to make me stay quiet, no. Looks like it's a very poor way for you because you need to feel like a genius when you do comments, just please, say for once, which of those definitions I gave you apply to your point god...

ClaudiBAM BAM And for the third time, you humiliate yourself publicly by not reading or understanding the definition you've posted. You see where you definition says "Word for word"? That is what I did when I quoted what he actually said "word for word", when he was trying to pretend he said something completely different to his actual words. How many times are you going to keep getting up to be knocked down all over again? Why not go away and reconsider your life. Try and find some other argument to have where you have some possibility of winning. You have none here.

Ben F wow, I'm glad to know that there's actually somebody that knows the meaning of words that they use...

Forenamn Efternamn your examples don't make any sense. people use the word 'literally' for things which are not literal while being in full knowledge of the word's original definition. it's an example of hyberbole for additional effect and emphasis, whereas every other example you made, such as the difference between it's and its, is a result of genuine ignorance. ignorance which, by the way, is not in anyway helped by your condescending attitude.

Forenamn Efternamn Just to be sure, are you including my case on this...?

BTW, I hope you're smart enough to realise that you can actually prove my wrong and ACTUALLY humiliate me for real if you do awnser the question.

"Second person I've humiliated" You say, learn what humiliating is. I'm bringing up with very good comebacks so you haven't pretty much humilitated me. I think I'm actually making you feel humiliated in your soul...

Stop thinking you're the best around, it's hateful.

ClaudiBAM BAM The reason you need to post it again is because YOU still haven't understood "word for word" yet, even though you've posted it twice.

At least the other clown had the good grace to admit it...<br>And I see you've yet to offer any source for your ludicrous meaning that you entirely made up.

Jeffrey Li Oh, you're annoyed that I'm right? What a shame for you.

ClaudiBAM BAM And which part of "word for word" are you having trouble understanding? OK we've established my use of the word is correct, now can you tell me where there's a definition that matches your claim that it means "you say what you think the person actually meant by something that person said"? Oh look, there is none.

The imaginary number ( the imaginary number is a+bi where a,b are rational and the square of i is -1 ) is not ordered, that is, there does not exist any relation as "bigger" or "smaller" between them, so 12i is not smaller then 25.<br>

Sorry. I major in mathematics and saw you say that 12i is smaller than 25, but that is wrong.

Sorry. I major in mathematics and saw you say that 12i is smaller than 25, but that is wrong.

PutItAway101 Sure! Here are the definitions

adverb
1.
in the literal or strict sense:
What does the word mean literally?
2.
in a literal manner; word for word:
to translate literally.
3.
actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy:
The city was literally destroyed.
4.
in effect; in substance; very nearly; virtually:
I literally died when she walked out on stage in that costume.

As you can see, none of the definitions refer in saying what something exactly said. You're a very hateful person, do you have like problems in life or something because what you just love doing is trying to make others like complete idiots showing off your "intelectual capacity", I can already tell that probably few people like you...

簡昱睿 i'm not sure what i said that you're replying to.

簡昱睿 i'm not sure what i said that you're replying to.

Ben F In mathematics, we do not say 12i is "smaller" then 25. The imaginary number is not "ordered".(It was proven. I can prove it now if you want.) That is, there does not exist any relation as "bigger" or "smaller" between them.

PutItAway101 Exuse me, but you look very silly complaining about his knowledge of the word "literally" when you're the one that used it in a wrong way in one of your previous comments.

Pay close attention where you said the following:

"No you didn't, what you literally said was

 "the question is kind of badly worded because it doesn't specify that the smaller square numbers be integers. 25 is still a pretty obvious answer, though." ".

The world "literally" is used when you say what you think the person actually meant by something that person said, and in that comment you're using the word "literally" for something that a person exactly said, which makes you give the word "literally" the wrong use.

You fail hard.

***** I read through these comments wondering when someone would mention the simple Pythagorean triples and finally the last comment I see mentions it lol. One guy tried to give a Number Theory argument earlier trying to explain the answer, I guess he wanted to sound smart

To me, the question with the answer choices somewhat imply  B is the correct answer. Its sum can be written as 3^2 + 4^2 which represents a Pythagorean triplet that is also known as the 3-4-5 triangle. Before I looked at the answer choices, I predicted one of the answers would represent some kind of Pythagorean triplet. That is why B was blatantly the correct answer.

At first glance I would agree but considering it is a tv show they can't expect people to know terms like modulus and sig num etc so yeah it isnt worded that great but neither are many of the problems at this level of maths so it is nothing out of the ordinary.

PutItAway101 I think what you're referring to is a perfect square, a number that is a whole integer with its square root also being a whole integer as well, but it would be safe to assume on a question like this that they are talking about perfect squares

PutItAway101 Ok, I understand now xD. See I never went to school. Im completely self taught. So forgive me for not understanding that just because "Squared" is in a different spot it means something different.

IAmGunzNoob<br>a prime number can be written as the sum of two squares iff it is congruent to 1 mod 4. Any odd integer can be written as the sum of two squares iff every prime congruent to 3 mod 4 occurs to an even power (then the even integers are accounted for by dividing by two and getting that sum of squares if it exists and multiplying by 1^2+1^2 for each power of two to get another sum of two squares by a particular formula i wont write out though it is simple or by applying gaussian integers and noting that the product of two conjugates is the conjugate of the product and the product of two conjugates is the sum of two square since it is the norm in the gaussian integers)

PutItAway101 hey "moron",

Ever heard of domain and range? "Number" - unless specified the domain of, is defined as any finite constant quantity not subject to surreal or hyper-real properties. This includes irrational numbers.

Looks like someone needs to take a higher class - rather than instructing others to go to the ones he's taken (5th grade, I assume).

And I won't even comment on the lack of social intelligence.

Good day to you.

o_O well, maybe, but when you talk about the linear 'size' of a number, you're typically talking about its absolute. i wouldn't say it's a problem that two different numbers can have the same 'size'. similarly, if i have nineteen gold bars and nineteen sticks, i have the same amount of each but they are different.

Ben F The absolute value? Well, that would work, but it would be only one possibility out of numerous other ones (e.g. sum of real and imaginary value) and it wouldn't be a (strict) total ordering anymore because different elements can have the same absolute value (and addition and multiplication don't follow certain rules in relation to order either). Think of the complex numbers as points in e.g. the gaussian plane, there is no inherent order(ing) in there (just like BTW different distance definitions are possible).

o_O well, it is arguably smaller, yes. it has a smaller magnitude.

PutItAway101 i referenced it because you're nitpicking. loads of people use 'literally' as a way of emphasising what they're saying, just like loads of people say 'for-tay' instead of 'fort' when pronouncing forte, or how most people refer to an initialism as a type of acronym, despite them being different things. my point is that using literally to mean something that isn't, technically, literal is 100% fine because people understand what you're talking about.

as i've said, like, six times, i don't actually care about this question. i think he deserved to get it wrong. i'm also going to stop replying now because i'm bored.

retarded isn't a particularly nice word to use, by the way, and just makes you sound uneducated.

Ben F  Unfortunately you're a moron. And what on earth are you talking about "fort" and "for-tay"??? I can only guess that you mean "forte".  Why would I care how anyone pronounces a French word if they're using it in English? That is a nonsensical comparison, which you entirely made up, because you have no actual argument.. How, in your mind, does your imagined scenario about correcting variant pronunciations of a foreign word have any possible comparison to you ignorantly mis-using an English word in a way that destroys its meaning and makes you look retarded. Which you seem to be. And, once again, you seem to think it's necessary to say "integer". when anyone who knows basic maths terminology knows that a "square number" by definition can only be an integer. Dipshit, it's a maths question. You're supposed to know maths to be able to answer it. If you don't know what "Square number" means... you failed the question! Put it this way, if there's a question "what is the square root of 9", and you don't know what a square root is, you failed the question. DUH.

Ben F  Unfortunately you're a moron. And what on earth are you talking about "fort" and "for-tay"??? I can only guess that you mean "forte".  Why would I care how anyone pronounces a French word if they're using it in English?

PutItAway101 literally is widely accepted as being a form of emphasis as well as defining something which is literally true. do you go around telling people it's fort not for-tay as well?

i guess i don't know what a square number is; i'll admit i wasn't aware a square number needed to be the product of an integer with itself. a quick google tells me that square numbers are non-negative, but i honestly didn't know that. i was under the impression that -16 was just as much a square number as 16. i'm pretty good at maths, but i've never needed to know the definition of a square number because so few problems that i deal with involve such simple numbers.
again, i'm not arguing that the guy didn't deserve to get the question right, i just made a passing comment that the inclusion of the word 'integer' could have made things a little bit clearer.

Ben F No you didn't, what you literally said was

 "the question is kind of badly worded because it doesn't specify that the smaller square numbers be integers. 25 is still a pretty obvious answer, though."

Something tells me you don't know what "literally" means any  more than you know what "square number" means.

***** the only obvious pair i can think of is 13 and 12i.

***** the only obvious pair i can think of is 13 and 12i.

PutItAway101 i literally said that i would have phrased the question slightly differently, had i been the one writing it. that is all. i'm not saying this guy's education wasn't lacking, or that he deserved to get the question right.

Ben F Here's a newsflash - the entire point of a maths question is to see if you know maths. If you fail to understand very basic maths terms like "square number" ( and half the morons on these comments even manage to misunderstand "sum" and somehow think that's the fault of the wording),. then you failed the question. The question is as clear as it needs to be for someone who has an extremely basic understanding of maths. If they fail to understand the question, they failed the question. That is the point.

PutItAway101 maybe, but most people aren't going to be familiar with the exact definition of a square number - hence the question isn't as clear as it could be.<br>and i'm in class right now, thank you very much.

A "square number" by definition is integer, so it doesn't need to be stated. Go back to class...

Man, this comment section is so high and mighty. If you have to prove how smart you are by showing that you know the answer to a question that everyone already knows is super easy you aren't as smart as you think

Yea a lot of people know thats why they said A..

TheAllPowerfulChicken I understood nothing and would never have guesses it. Happy?

Or it's just surprising that so many people couldn't answer a simple question.  Your comment is an either or fallacy where people either don't point that out or they must be insecure about their own intelligence as if there's no other option.

Påñtšü Mäśtęr

At least they're smarter than the 70% who got it wrong 😂

fyukfy please don't kill me with your brain ball which is sticking out of your mouth.

Man, fyukfy is so high and mighty. If you have to prove how superior you are by showing every other commenter their low-mindedness, you aren't as superior as you think.

What? you don’t have to be smart to understand this question it’s easy af

The pressure to succeed is not unique to the UK system/A levels. If anything, I'd say that's one of the few things where it's tougher in the US than here in the UK. As for the timing, the European countries I mentioned cover all the maths we do in the UK (and much more) in an even shorter time frame!

I suppose the only valid point is that the jump from GCSE to A level might be greater than the equivalent jump in other countries (although I'm not sure either way on this - I don't know much about lower school education outside of the UK). Even if this is true, I'd say it's more of an issue with how easy GCSEs are, and how poorly they prepare you for more advanced study, rather than because A levels are tough.

Red You say that like A level maths is challenging. Sure, it's harder than the exams done in the US, but, compared to some other European countries, it's almost unacceptably easy. For example, in some French high schools, they cover all of the material done in maths/further maths A level, as well as all of the real analysis taught in the first year of the maths degree at Cambridge!

When I did maths at Cambridge, I knew someone from Romania that had already covered the entirety of the first year, as well as bits of the second year while they were at school. (But, to be fair, he was exceptionally bright and motivated - I don't think Romanian high schools should get all the credit for that!)

A lot of people don't understand that concept though.


The math isn't hard, it's trying to decipher what that sentence means that takes time.  If the question was phrased in mathematical terms it wouldn't even be a challenge.

@Formless Well, that's only one square, used twice. 'Two smaller squares' implies different squares, but I suppose it is up to interpretation. Unlike the question in the video, lol.

While I agree the question is clear because of the word sum, 4x4 is 16, there is no stipulation the smaller square numbers must be unique.

@Rob W Except 16 is not the product of two smaller squares. The only squares that matter for this question are 1-7, so 1, 4 , 9, 16, 25, 36, 49. You can multiply those by each other until the cows come home, but you'll never get 16 (without using the 16 itself, which is not smaller than 16). You can get 36, though.

@Coalwolf I think by "math terms" you mean variables and equations. Math is not all about those things. Understanding word problems is equally as important.

@Manuel71 It's not in mathematical terms at all; it's literally a² + b² = c² which is one of the most common equations, but not everyone who is good at math is as good at understanding english grammatical structures, even native speakers.  I applaud anyone who can solve this without confusion, but understanding the difference between english semantics and math is the obvious thing to me here.

I don't understand what's so difficult about the wording. It's so concise and unambiguous.<br>It's also full of mathematical terms so I don't get what you mean by that.

It's also full of mathematical terms so I don't get what you mean by that.

I had my confusion on this one at first because I didn't process it properly, I thought its like the the smaller squares are sum of two numbers and since the choices are perfect square, my assuming ass thought the smaller squares are identical too, then saw the poll and was like wait 16 is wrong?(because its expected he's gonna choose 16 and he's wrong) so I actually grabbed my calculator and reached to the realization that it doesnt have to be identical and got the answer...

the question is clear and concise, people are just bad at math and/or communication

Reading comments like this explains how both audience polls were totally wrong. It's an incredibly simple question.

Exactly.  Choice A (16) is the PRODUCT of two smaller squares, but choice B (25) is the SUM of two smaller squares.  But this guy took his time, thought it through, asked the audience, and still got it wrong.


This question was so easy because I watch rick and morty


Guess what... The next upcoming video is<br>"A Proof that 0 = 1" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Guess what... The next upcoming video is
"A Proof that 0 = 1" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

0 does not ever equal 1, if you had to take a test on it, it's just showing that they don't have anything to test you on and have to pretend it's true. 0 = 0 and 1 = 1.

My (former) school's (I just completed school a few months ago) Headmistress can surely prove that 😂


Has anyone not learned about "3,4,5" special right triangles in geometry or trig? They're literally called "pythag triples"....

By the time you finished reading this name, I stole your virginity.


They didn't say whether the smaller numbers are real or imaginary?<br>Fault in the question

They didn't say whether the smaller numbers are real or imaginary?
Fault in the question

@Gino Mustin yes its true. i was maybe just trying acting smart . dont remember tho

Inequalities doesnt exist in complex numbers

@alan smithee You can’t do that. Order requires for every number to be bigger or smaller than every other number, multiple complex numbers have the same magnitude

@Vikram Tete It says the number has to be the sum of two smaller square numbers. 16 is not smaller than 4^2, it's equal to it

@Chirag Kaudan Why can't it be 16? Since 16= 4^2 +0^2

@MultiSuperGuide But why can't it be 16? Since 16= 4^2 +0^2

@MultiSuperGuide you could compare absolute size.

Imaginary numbers can’t be considered smaller. There is no order relation for imaginary numbers

I think gaussian integers dont count for these types of things. Only real integers

The definition of a square number is an integer whose square is another integer. So by definition it is a whole number and therefore it must be real. There's no fault in the question it was just worded really weird.

Ok, that was pretty good.....trying to find fault in your logic.....there.....is.....none......I'm not worthy....I'm not worthy! :)


tricky--I thought 16 (4 squared is 16; 2 squared is 4)  but they said SUM not product.  I was thinking  square root of 16 is 4 and sqrt of 4 is 2  So 25 because 16 is a perfect square and so is 9 and 16+9=25 which is also a perfect square (sqrt of 25 is 5). Easy to misinterpret this question

shashankjp88 that’s not grade 3, it’s grade 6

can't believe we are having this discussion for a 3 grade level question

Lei Cao It’s not misleading, you’re just an idiot. I already knew it from the start

@janjutarnji_1 I really don't understand what you're saying. It can't be 4^2 and 4^2 since it will result in 32 which isn't a square number if that's what you meant.

@Epicious Why it can't be 4^2 and 4^2 they are also smaller square numbers unless it means they need to be different and then you will need two results to get 25 like your theory.<br>Because all other numbers are not the thing opposite of square only 4 so my guess is you need two results which gives some number (25) and they 4^2 and 3^2 am I right?

We go through alot of Pythagoras theorem questions in school. And the most notable one is the 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 so I'd say this was the a very easy question.

cg0825 it is the sum and not the product there isnt anythig tricky here


Never ask the audience a maths question in the USA 🤣🤣

@The Duck All are correct; "maths" is used as a shortened word mathematics in European English along with other English dialects in many former British colonies (Australia, New Zealand, India, etc.), while "math" is the shortened word for mathematics in North American English.

@The Duck I was hoping we would make a chain , but this is fine too

@Unarmed Guy That is also correct, math and mathematics are both correct

@The Duck look at you, all full of yourself and stupid.


Ohhh I thought it had to be the same number, thanks for writing this!!

Exactly, nice and simple. Although watching people use huge explanations to explain a wrong answer is also funny.

@Lem Manalo where the fuck are you getting 9

Ivan Ivanov 8 is not a square of anything

Never knew this and I'm graduating this year.

Smaller square numbers? Serious?

I thought smaller square numbers is 1^2=1, 2^2=4.

1+4=5;
5^2=25.

There is 3^2+4^2=5^2=25, sic!
And NO SMALLER square numbers:
3^2=9, 4^2=16.

Hi from Russia! And russian educations! LOL

Oh my god, how you do that? It's a uniqueeee answer. No one can solve this expect this guy. Loool

Question didn't said perfect square it said square

Dam I was trying to think of two of the same square numbers that added up to a square number lol

This is one of those you have to read the question properly or else, people aren't dumb they just misunderstood the question. I misunderstood the question and got the wrong answer until I reread the question and yes 25 is correct

Pythagoran triplets. That's why I knew the answer

Wow. Most of the people who commented here probably failed highschool. I'm an engineer and the answer is 25. 25 is the sum of two perfect square numbers which are 9 and 16. The square root of 9 is 3 and 16 is to 4. 4x4=16 and 3x3=9.

You watched the video before you commented...cheater😂😂

It took literally 10 seconds to reach that answer. Must be the pressure of the atmosphere that got him.

Kundan Barai  1k. Not even that after tax.

@Mayukh its seem something fly over your head.

@Ivan Ivanov √8 = 2√2, not a natural number

16 is the answer but your answer is correct too

25=16+9 and 9=3+3+3. Illuminati Confirmed

Then the 16 =4×4 and 9=3×3 the correct answer is 16

@Anusha San i knew that . I was just kidding ..

@Manish Prajapati 16 is the square of 4 and 9 is the square of 3. So according to what the question was asking this guy is right and you're wrong. 25= 16+9.

Ivan Ivanov  , 8 is not a perfect square though.

Luis Alba Sarria ,such u r great person😱😱

Hard to believe so many people would fail this.  They'll vote to decide geopolitical issues, though.


People are complaining and saying the question is phrased terrible? Whata hell!! Its very very clear here. Those numbers you see are squared numbers and one of them had two other squared numbers adding together which produce in this case 25 which is an squared number of 5..

its trying to say you need to work on your maths


I would say that the fact that 78% of spectators can't do maths is frightening, but most of them probably got the wrong answer by misunderstanding the question, which is even more frightening if you consider that the question is crystal clear.

There's a saying "If you don't use it, you lose it." I've been out of high school going on 20 years now and haven't had to use any of that math. I passed math with A's but it's been a while since I studied for a math test. But with a refresher, I would be back at it.

@memmener the AOL poll is the actual audience poll so get off your high horse

I mean to me the question isnt crystal clear.
 i admit i was thinking about it in the sense that 16 = 4 *4 which is 2+2 * 2+2  cause sometimes even if it seems like they should describe that just like being products they do describe it as sums for other questions.
My brain has always been creative with riddles though which makes me good at analytical math but also has been a problem with how applied math teachers indirectly feed in extra information about the scenerio without knowing they do so the real point you should think about is that perhaps this can actually be considered in better ways around how we teach math too

I bet a 6 year old asian kid probably would dust the audience and myself included

@dethmaul same, which I think is a pretty reasonable way to misread the question

70% got it wrong, not 78%. 50  + 19 + 1 = 70.. <br>Or just 100 - 30 = 70. Looks like they're not the only ones that can't do math.

70% got it wrong, not 78%. 50  + 19 + 1 = 70..
Or just 100 - 30 = 70. Looks like they're not the only ones that can't do math.

@dethmaul it said sum of 2 smaller square numbers

@MR AS squaring 4 means 4x4 not 4+4. 4² is 16

@Cousin._.ᗩnxiety actually perfectly said

@Shallow_Night same, I squared 4 then added 8 by itself

No. Your assumption that we misunderstood the question is overwhelmingly flawed.

Actually, even if we... Or atleast I understood the question, by having a glance at option A, instinctively my mind imagined two numbers 2^2 + 2^2 since both the numbers are same, it had me tricked into looking for a matched pair of a smaller square numbers that if added, may result in one of the given options.

The dude must've surely gone through all the possible matched pair of smaller square numbers but when he ran out of possible answer, (not to mention the huge debuff from the pressure) he resorted to going with the majority, a rather convincing move with no fathomable reason to not go with the audience.

Mans just forgot that he could take any combination of possible smaller square numbers that need not be a matching pair.
I have attempted enough silly mistakes while solving/answering math problems myself to know that it do be like that sometimes when you look at certain something and just instinctively a condition sticks to your mind that may eliminate some and even the correct answer out of all the possible set of answers you can come up with in mind or during solving a particular question.

I can get why they misunderstood it, I thought it was 16 too until I realized it was asking for the SUM of two square numbers, not the PRODUCT. If they were asking which number was the product of two square numbers, 16 would’ve been the correct answer. You’d be surprised how easy basic stuff like that can be to screw up lol

I'm accelerated 2 grades in math and I thought 16 because 4x4 and 8+8, I misunderstood so badly lmao

@Kritter maybe the thought was "why look further, if i found the answer?"

I discounted 25 because i thought the numbers had to be the SAME for some reason. 12.5 + 12.5 is 25. And a halfa number ain't no square.

@twhi the only problem I could see with that thought is the fact 36 is up there

I also misunderstood the question... For some reason my brain jumped to: Which square number also has two square factors? To which the answer is 16.

I mean they did go to watch a game show live so they probably weren’t too smart to start off with…


In all fairness, I think more would have gotten this right if they actually set up the equation, rather than make it a word question.

It´s not even a question you have to learn for. It should be as automatic as breathing or walking.

@Alek Sherstyuk - Welcome to America!   Only in America you can become a football player and make 100X more than a scientist or engineer!  My friend is pretty smart, but no PHD.   Yet he made over $600K per year with a Bachelor's degree because he was a regional sales manager.  He basically managed a sales force and also sold software.  He far exceeded quota, so they gave him tons of bonuses.  He did this for 4 years and retired.  Only  in America!   Yes, America needs to become more math literate.  But there's not much incetive to do so unless you have a STEM career.  And most of those STEM careers do not require much math literacy.

My mom couldn't get it. Which doesnt surprise me, since she doesnt think very mathematically/analytically. My dad teaches high school, so its trivial for him. But it's probably the biggest failure of math education in America that someone coming out of at least high school isn't actually taught how to think about or solve problems. Math is taught like it's a memorization thing, and yeah, I agree it's useless if you think about it like that. Theres plenty of reasons someone would get this wrong, but it's still sad and pathetic to see that. It just means school doesnt do its job. I mean, honestly, it's a form of illiteracy. Same as not being able to interpret legal documents, even in a basic way, or not being able to follow even moderately complex, technical instructions. These are skills adults should have. The fact that one of the most basic math questions you can ask is worth 15000 on a game show means that we basically accept, as a society, that most people, even smart people, are mathematically illiterate. My only point is that this is sad, and someone is to blame (bad teachers, bad administrators, bad policies that are hard to change, etc)

@Alek Sherstyuk - Agree.  The question is definitely fair game.  I think it was very reasonable.  But that said, there is a reason why so many people missed it.
- Time.  They pick the first answer that came to mind
- Many people don't practice math, so they lose it.
-  Some I'm guessing thought the question was asking something different.  Trying to decipher the equation isn't as easy as it should be when you're not in that mindset.  It's part reading comprehension as well.

You can experiment with this and ask this question to 10 of your family and friends who have not used their math for at least 10 years.  I think the results will be similar.  Yet some of those people are probably very smart for the most part.

Yeah well, the value of getting this right in this case is 15000 dollars, apparently, lol. Doesnt matter how many years you've stayed away from math. You gotta know 2 times 2. You gotta know 3 times 3, and 4 times 4, etc. Forgetting basic arithmetic is like forgetting basic grammar. How do you manage your money? Again, this is absolutely not a memorization problem. This is a "think for a couple of seconds, use basic arithmetic, and come up with the answer" problem. Honestly, probably more of an IQ test than a test of what your level of education is. But like, school should make us smarter. Help us be better problem solvers. Not teach us useless facts to memorize, I agree. In fact, this may be the only question on these kinds of game shows that requires absolutely no memorization. No knowledge of any useless trivia. You can figure it out on the spot with some carefulness and cleverness (which if you're applying to be a contestant on a game show, should be a given, or else you rightfully embarrass yourself).

Also, even if you treat this problem as pure trivia and try to go for memorization, that's what the show is about right? As a piece of trivia, the 3 4 5 right triangle is like, the single most memorable thing from high school geometry. I'm sorry. If someone thinks they deserve their shot being on a game show, then this question is fair game, and messing it up is just sad

Then it would be a $1000 question, not  worth $16000.

@Alek Sherstyuk - I was able to do the math after they explained it.  It wasn't hard.  But again, I haven't had any use for this stuff in the last 20 years, so I am not too sure what the value is to getting this problem right.  So, I guess it's a matter of perspective as to what each person sees as practical knowledge.

The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...
The square numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 ...
Which 2 of these add up to a third one?
It's not a matter of memorization, just basic number sense and logic, and as someone else mentioned, reading comprehension. It's a shame that stuff like this is severely lacking in the general population. I honestly dont think theres an excuse for anyone coming out of high school to not be able to do this given a whole minute. Bo matter what specific facts you remember from school, school is supposed to teach you how to think clearly. That's not an ideal, that should be a bare minimum. It's like, pretty clearly pathetic to not be able to answer this question, right? Like, that that much money on the line? You wouldnt agree?

@Alek Sherstyuk - Maybe so, but the amount of times I have had to use any sq root mathematics in the last 20 years and had to come up with an answer within 1 minute is zero.  So yes, in a perfect world maybe people should study for things they will never use so they can brag to their neighbors.  But I'm not sure why that's necessary.

The fact that people suck at word problems in math is such an embarrassment to us as a species. Math without word problems is kind of useless, ultimately


Ask the same question but with cubed numbers :^)

@Katherine Pablo Good luck understanding the proof.

@Felix No. It has to be all cubed numbers.

Thanks man, I didnt knew that cube numbers cannot be expressed as the sum of two smaller cube numbers, u literally introduced me to a new concept in mathematics

Rose Juliette it has to be distinct numbers

2 cubed plus 2 cubed equals 4 squared which would make the audience correct... But unfortunately the audience weren't smart enough to get the squared question right.


I'm more surprised at how dumb the audience is

That's called a stereotype, dumb fucker! There're plenty of Americans smarter than plenty Asians.

as an Asian

im failing geometry and didn't even answer this question in time

That was 5th grade level what are you on about

@dungeon master r/iamverysmart
You're early an idiot when you're posting a comment about how smart you are.
Idiot

Jill Valentine Don't Cry for me Argentina

It's not about being Asian, it is about being lazy and skipping Maths in school.

Basically the first theorem you learn at school (in like 3rd grade).

@cookie Firstly, your comment about blacks is completely unrelated as you are comparing a potential compliment (all asians are smart) to an insult (blacks belong in jail). Secondly, if you are offended by someone stereotyping your race as SMART, then you're an idiot. I don't know what else to tell you. If you're offended, you must not be within the stereotype and are therefore an idiot.

There are more important things to worry about than being called smart in a comment section. Like how about the starving children in Africa? The large abortion numbers? Donald Trump being the best candidate in a presential election? All of these are far more important and worrisome than being called smart. Don't be a baby and get over yourself.

Fire Boogaloo excuse me,I know I haven’t mastered English yet and yes I have to say that you are right about that,but it is true that people have different limits for taking jokes and what’s even the matter when you get offended by a joke? It doesn’t matter if I’m 9 or 90,the limit will most likely not change.I hope you can think about the situation I’m in right now because I’m Asian and I dislike the joke. For example,saying “Black people head to Mars because they are behind bars.”,would offend most people as this involves racism.To be honest,the person who say jokes like this intentionally are the idiots. If you think saying stereotypical jokes won’t offend anyone then you are wrong,I have to say that you might be the idiot here because out of 7 billion people,it is impossible for me to be the only person offended. So please,think again,I’m starting to feel annoyed

@cookie Thats not a spelling error, its a grammatical issue and its not even a real one since most people are too lazy to include apostrophes when typing. Your grammar and sentence structure are atrocious, showing that English is not your first language. I wouldn't result to grammar as an insult when you clearly haven't mastered English yet. You just loom like an idiot.

As to the rest of your comment, grow up. You are the worlds biggest baby if you got offended by that.

I get the joke but only Americans would fuck this up

Fire Boogaloo, I know,but for some people it is offensive, and I know not everybody has respect for the others. I hope most people can respect the others.What do you mean I can’t survive in the real world? What makes you think you can but I can’t? I think grammar is needed though,if you can’t spell aren’t right,then I think you can’t survive either.

@cookie Dude, its a joke in the youtube comment section. You arent going to survive in the real world.

@Teelted <br>well you don't need to be a mathematician to answer that

@Teelted

Uhm... I think you can’t do math because if he had $16k and went to $10k, he lost $6k.

@Earless Robotic Cat dude, now you can't do math. He went from 16000 to 10000. So he lost 15000. 😊😋

So you need to be Asian to know the square root of 25?

I would have liked it but it has 666 sooo

อาทิตย์ Everyone has a line for taking jokes and if the jokes crossed that line then some people would be offended so I think it’s best for everyone to stop making this kind of jokes

THE ANIMATOR stop being so racist not all Asians are good at math I don’t know why this kind of stereotypical thought is still going around I am an Asian and I feel kinda offended

guys its literally just a stereotypical joke. stop being so offended by it. i'm asian myself and i'm not offended

@Neonlaser he is not a seventh grader tho idiot

@john smith , ass roasted for being nuts ? 😭😭😂😂😂

When i half read the question in thumbnail i knew the answer, i opened to c the video and found that audience is also nuts... <br>The truth is this question is very easy

You don't have to be Asian,<br>I learned this shit in freshman year

You don't have to be Asian,

Teelted look I am not gonna fight but thinkers, scientists and mathematicians were from all religions all right?

Sanjeev Meena you have be to creative. As in many schools and academies maths is just taught to get full marks but very few teach how math is done. And those teachers are the best, thankfully, I got one. And it's not just because of ignoring math, it's because of ignoring teacher.

Not to look down on that guy but I  can pick a random Chinese 10 year old kid to pinpoint the right answer after 3 seconds

Hey, looky here a racist comment joke. Classy.

@Ansh The joke was based on the premise that only an Asian (i.e. someone very good at maths) would know the answer. It's a bad joke.

It's when ignoring maths costs you 15,000

It's when ignoring maths costs you 15,000

THE ANIMATOR i know the answer when i see the thumbnail..sometime i think how stupid world is

yassss.<br>I got the answer in 3 seconds.


Unfortunately people are not capable of doing the Simplest math problems


The more stupidity starts when the audience starts to clap when the anchor says it's a wrong answer.....It's d same audience who made him lose d money....😂😂😂....Where does these aliens come from😫


The question is confusing. I got the answer, but took me like 3-5min… doubt I can solve it if under the pressure like him because I need more focus to do this math.


American education, ladies and gentlemen.
