@s_ so you call everyone who has basic reading comprehension skills a nerd? Anyways the question is simple. Which of those numbers is a sum(that means what you get when you add quantities) of two other numbers that are both perfect squares (squaring something means multiplying a value by it self, so perfect squares are values that when square rooted, you get a whole number). Good to see that most of this world doesn’t have basic reading skills! I showed that to my 12 year old cousin and she got it. Wait to be ignorant!

@tie Okay, relax bro. I'm smarter than you and even I don't go around bullying people. Must be a reflection of bad parenting from your life.

@Tobi now I'm highly convinced ur of extremely low intellect from the fact you dont understand what function stands for in that sentence, I do charity work so I will explain a function is not just a mathematical term or a biological action a function is used to relate between two thinks this can be via proportionality so the more the lazy you are the lesser you work and hence the lower amount of knowledge you have ...thank me later :) also quit embarrassing urself

@Bryce Prochazka
People who mock those who aren't very familiar with math concepts are also only discouraging those people from learning math at all, because it will only make those people view "math people" as arrogant jerks, and this will in turn give them negative associations to math.
But I guess arrogant jerks don't care about that, as long as they can act superior;
they are basically bullies, as far as I am concerned.

@tie the fact that you don't understand sarcasm is a proof that you have no friends and life nerd.

Those of you arguing or putting down those saying it's hard to understand, yall are grasping at the only straws of intellectual you possess.
OK good for you, you can understand a badly worded math question.
By how hard or fast you are willing to jump at the argument, it strongly feels like deciphering math word problems is your only Forte in life.

Personally, I Excell at numbers, I could tell you it was "A" the melisecond it showed "A"

But I'm also smart enough to know that if putting down another's understanding of the wording or argue-flexing is all I got, then I don't have much.
I mean, think about it

It's not a big deal either way. There are far more important things to worry about than to worry about something that can be taught in 5-10 minutes. The amount of disrespect is more surprising than anything, and it's shameful.

The problem in people’s minds is that they don’t seem to be familiar with the mathematical term “square number”. It means a number that is a square of another whole number. The fist few square numbers are as follows:
1; 4; 9; 16; 25; 36; 49; 64
Now, the question is which of the possible answers is the sum of two other square numbers. In other terms, which one is a number that can be a sum of two of the numbers I listed above. It is a perfectly phrased question with a very simple answer. Our guy should have payed attention in school.

@tie Because people could read it as 'which of these square numbers (the squared number being 4) also happens to be the sum of two smaller square numbers that could be squared (2 * 2 = 4). Not saying this is right, but just to put in perspective how someone could interpret the question.

They chose this question because it is tricky, or else why would they choose it? It's a game show that is meant to be made in such a way. It's clear that you have seen this question before, and that's why you understand it. Not because you're intelligent or anything lol.

I've seen this question before as well, but to those who don't I can at least understand why the way it's worded is flawed.

@Adrian Gołda A square number is defined as the product of an integer, i. e. a whole number, multiplied by itself. The square root of 8 is not an integer but a fraction. Therefore, your solution is false.

@Kriegter it’s not really that, either. I’m ok w Math, and pretty decent at English. It’s that sum meaning addition is pretty easy to overlook or forget. This whole question can be solved by specifying addition in clearer terms.

@Luís-Sophus-822 specifying it’s different helps, but I think I figured out a good rewording. All it does is change sum to “when added together” which yea, is what sun means, but it’s easy to overlook or forget that and that’s the problem word here. So “which of these (square) numbers can be created by adding together two smaller square numbers.” Much simpler, no?

@LORD_NOM_CONQUERS ALL because they’re being an asshile. Refusing to answer people who are confused, and dunking on people who are. They’ve got a massive superiority complex and it’s showing hard. Yours is showing a bit too in your comment. You can’t sit there and say that the question isn’t confusing, and is simple to understand, as that is factually incorrect because many people have stated it was confusingly worded. I have a basic understanding of math, and was able to solve it when I understood what it was asking, which I couldn’t at first BECAUSE IT WAS CONFUSINGLY WORDED. Some people have trouble in different areas of processing. Doesn’t make them dumb or inferior in anyway.

@tie oh yes, because everyone piling on you (which you’re also doing to everyone else….) is “mob mentality” and not because you’re being a massive prick.

@Tobi fr. I am so sick of these constant “well I can do it, so that means everyone can, and if you can’t well, then you’re inferior” attitudes everywhere lately. People want to boast about being smarter or superior, but it takes two seconds to realise that not everyone is the exact same way as you, and other people may do/understand things differently. Really speaks on their supposed “intelligence.”

@Alhimik EXACTLY. Like yes sum means addition but I thought the exact same thing at first bc my brain just kind of overlooked that part.

@Tobi I find "ignorance is bliss" is often what idiots say to mask the fact that they have no control over any aspect of their life. It's quite sad really. Better to have no idea of what the problem is than have to confront the fact that even if I did know the problem there is nothing I can do about it. Fairly unfulfilling way to go through life, I guess this is why so many people are religious, they feel they can hedge their bets that things might be less depressing in the afterlife

@Alhimik 'sum' in terms of math has always meant addition, while 'product' has always meant multiplication. If the question was worded better then I feel even the audience wouldn't have been so confused by it. If people generally say they thought you were asking for a different solution then I think its the person who is giving the question who is at fault.

@KakaCarrotCake I also learned English as a second language. However, everyone's understanding is different. Some people struggle more with comprehension, especially if the question involves terms they may not understand, applied at multiple levels. They have to deal with the sum of two square numbers making a third, and they may not understand what a square number even is, and they don't feel comfortable with words like "sum". Students struggle with understanding "word problems" all the time, even in college.

If someone's basic math skills are weak, and they are for a huge percentage of people, they will struggle with understanding the question. Once they do understand it, they will see it as the trivial question it is. Regardless, your attitude is unnecessarily aggressive. Why be so hostile to someone you know nothing about? It would be better to see it as a chance to explain the question in different terms, since this can even help you see concepts more clearly, though not always.

@tie You can understand the question without jumping to conclusions as to why others may struggle more with it than you. For one, it's obvious you approach that question, of why people struggle with this, hoping to inflate your ego.

@Tobi both the answer AND the question were simple. A sum of two squares. What's a SUM? What's a SQUARE? These are things that third graders used to know. Now we live in an Idiocracy.

Same when it said “square number” I didn’t know if it meant square roots or the product of a square root but if you actually understand the question it’s easy

Conclusion: they should have worded the question better here is a better way to word it:

What product of a square root will be the sum of two other square roots when squared and added together? 16,25,36,49

This might also be confusing but imo it’s better than just saying “square numbers”

@tie question is tricky! It can be misunderstood as "SAME square number sum".

First, what are square numbers?

2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25
6^2 = 36
7^2 = 49

16 + 9 = 25

This question does not specify that the numbers, which the answer is the sum of, should be squares of integers. So every answer is correct.

This question does not specify that the numbers, which the answer is the sum of, should be squares of integers. So every answer is correct.

@Gaia Rossi la domanda chiede "Quali di questi numeri quadrati è anche la somma di due quadrati più piccoli?"

Il ragionamento è questo:
Considero il caso in cui la risposta sia 25. Allora
x²+y²=25
Adesso devi trovare quel numero quadrato, che sottratto a 25, mi dia come risultato un altro numero al quadrato. Quindi ho 4 opzioni (sono tutti i quadrati più piccoli di 25=5²)
a) 1²
b) 2²
c) 3²
d) 4²
Ora escludo le opzioni a) e b) perché se li sottraggo da 25, i risultati non sono dei quadrati perfetti. Mi rimangono le opzioni c) e d) che sono entrambe corrette. Infatti se considero c) ottengo:
25-9=16
e considerando d) ottengo:
25-9=16

My first language isn't English either, I learnt math 100% on Spanish and I never saw any terminology in English, only now im starting to learn the terminology, how the fuck would you expect someone who has NEVER had any contact with the terminology, know about it? Spanish math terminology is very different from the one in English.

I haven't watched the whole video because I also wasn't 100% sure and I have passed intermediate calculus so questions like these are easy to compute if it is explained in way I understand it. I've never heard of a square number. If it is a squared number, ok then they are all numbers that have been squared. So, which squared number is also the number when adding together two smaller squared numbers.
1sq=1, 1+1=2
2sq=4, 4+4=8
3sq=9, 9+9=18
4sq=16, 16+16=32
5sq=25, 25+25=50
No smaller squared number "1,4,9,16,25..." added together equals the choices
So I don't understand the question either.
Also, nw that I watched it, how can a sum of two equal values be odd?
Even when I think, ok maybe the square number is actually the root:
sqrt25=5, 5+5=10. I don't get it still.

@tie square number and square root make me confused, because English is my third language, and when i meet wording like two smaller square numbers i think about square roots, dont know why, so question is really confusing when they mix different descriptions -sum,smaller,square.

at first, u think the question is stupid and false. Then you realise, the question asks which of the <b>smaller</b> square numbers sum to give the desired option. So out of 0,1,4,9,16,25,... only 25 satisfies 25 = 16 + 9. We cannot have something like 16 = 16 + 0, as 16 is not smaller than 16

@Alhimik

Greetings, Alhimik. It's as easy as that: the answer to this question is 25.

We first need to define what we mean by square number. A square number is a number that is the product of itself, and an important property related to this expression is that the square of a number can be expressed as a power of two. This means that we can write square numbers using power notation, for example, 4 can be written as 2^2, because 4 = 2 x 2. Knowing this, we can now find the set of square number solutions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's set ourselves the task of proving that two smaller square numbers will sum up to the given number, that is: n^2 = m^2 + k^2 where m and k are defined square numbers.

Taking the square root of both sides, we have that n = sqrt(m^2 + k^2).

Thus, in order to find out when this will be true, we must solve the equation sqrt(m^2 + k^2)|

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I myself lean to this answer a bit and say that the answer is 49 because we know of a few general rules with squares.

Two of the rules we need are the ones to do with multiplication, the square of the square root of a number, and the square of a power, that is to say:

(√n)^2 = n

n^2 = n*n

The next rule we need is the perfect square theorem.

The perfect square theorem states that:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

Using the results from the above equations, we can set up a function which takes a square number and calculates the sum of its square roots.

This results in an expression of the following form:

c^2 = n^2 + (√n)^2

We can solve this expression for n by using the square root, which gives us:

n = c + √c^2

By rearranging the previous equation, we are able to get an alternate form, which will be useful to us to prove our expression, and that is:

√c^2 - c = n

By squaring this expression, we end up with:

c^2 - 2c + 1 = n^2

Now, the only step left is to find the numbers c that satisfy the above expression when squared.

We can find such a combination by finding the c-intercept of our equation.

To find the c-intercepts, you will need to solve the equation c^2 - 2c + 1 = 0, which can be done by the quadratic formula.

We then have two possible values for c, which are -1 + 2i and -1 - 2i.

Now, we need to test if those values are square.

The square of -1 is 1, and the square of 2i is -4.

Using the perfect square theorem from earlier, we can conclude that the sum of these squares is indeed 49.

Therefore, this proves that 49 is uniquely the sum of two square numbers.

The equation for 49 can be found using what we discovered above.

49 = (-1 + 2i)^2 + (-1 - 2i)^2.

You can test that this is indeed correct by multiplying out and simplifying.

However, there exists a faster way to find the equation.

We can rearrange things to get what we already know: 49 = c^2.

We can solve the expression by using the square root, which gives us:

c = √49.

@Dustin bruh you call him einstain because he has elementary school knowlege of maths and english, it says a lot about how educated you all are. I am not even a fluent english speaker and i can understand the question so why is that a problem for people who speaks englisb everyday? I guess you are just uneducated in maths.

@Victor Zehan

Why are you yelling, Victor? It's not personal. It's just a little math problem on YT. All I said it that the wording of the question is somewhat vague and can lead to a misleading assumption. That was, very likely, intentional.

I did, in fact, solve the problem in my head - it just took about 30 seconds or so longer than it should have. Having 49 as an option threw me off.

@VIC I think the difficulty is understanding specific math terms in English by people who learned math through different teaching methods in other languages. I must also add how English is a poor language that loves to gather several meanings in a single word, which in my opinion makes it difficult to express itself through language.

@Tobi that's it? Your excuse for not knowing basic math? You want my little sister to explain to you?

I’m sure a million people attempted to explain it before me, but fuck it, here i go. So it is simple to understand in my opinion if you do know and remember basic math. The answer is 25, because as a start it is the square of 5 and that we can get through adding up 16 and 9 which are the squares of 4 and 3. 16 and 9 are the numbers in question and they are the only squares smaller than 25 that can add up to exactly 25.

There's an instinctive assumption that the two smaller square numbers were the same. BTW, you don't have to be obnoxious about it. I figured it out but it took a minute. This guy is under pressure and cameras are pointed at him.

@Kd Fr1 36 + 9 + 1 does not sum up to 49, but to 46.
Also the Question says "sum of two numbers".

My approach was simply to list all sqares in my head and then sum up two of them like this:
1²=1, 2²=4, 3²=9, 4²=16, 5²=25,... (realy just "calculated" 1, 4, 9 since 16, 25, 36, 49 already in  the answers)
summing 1+4, 1+9, 4+9 does not get 16.
summing 1+16, 4+16, and there it is 9+16 =25.
The answer is B. Final Answer.

@Novamonster, Thanks to you brother, i finally understand it.

The question embedded a false condition to my head that the number should be the same as the square root of its original number, as for 36, (3²=) 9 + (3²=) 9 = 18 (wrong, no other squared roots), for 16, (2²=) 4 + (2²=) 4 = 8 (wrong, no other squared roots), for 25, cannot use 5 because its not a perfect square, but 25 has still have other perfect square which is the (3²=) 9 + (4²=) 16 ≈ 25.

Just sharing my understanding guys, i find it hard too, that's why i'm glad to learned it and share it hahahaha

Yea at first i was like 1+1 = 2, 4+4 = 8, 9+9 = 18, etc...and then i realized they dont really need to be the same number added together they could be different

@Kory Ogden that rewording is pretty bad too. It doesn't tell you that the operation is addition, it could easily be confused with multiplication, "get" isn't a mathematical term, "sum" is, it implies addition. In my opinion the original wording is fine as it is, but those who have difficulty understanding it are probably just visual learners...

You can reword the question more simply by saying "two numbers , each squared, can get which of the following answers?"

Though you leave out a little information phrasing it that way , it's easier to answer rephrasing that way, imo.

@tie The way the question is structured is what makes it tricky. In my head I thought it was 16 because 4x4=16, and 4 is a smaller square, i.e 2x2. "Which of these square numbers also happens to be the sum of two smaller square numbers?" <br>Notice how 'square numbers' appears twice, so my brain immediately associated both times it was mentioned with numbers with 16 and 4, respectively, because a square has 4 sides. At the same time, my mind associated the phrase "the sum of" with "made up of", which if true would mean that 16 is the only correct answer, since neither 5, 6 or 7 are square numbers.

@Petru Casella Every possible answer was a square number. The question was what two smaller square numbers equal one of the numbers in A, B, C, or D when you count them together. It can be expressed like this x²+y²=z. The answer was 25 because 4² is 16 and 3² is 9. So this 4²+3²=25 or (4*4)+(3*3)=25 was the answer to the question.

As a former math major, I have 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 memorized, but if I didn't, I think I would have a lot of difficulty trying all the different combinations of squares to figure it out, while under the pressure of the game show.

@Drought Bee not sure about your country but is this even called mental maths? Here in India, 6 graders can do that easily within seconds.

@Niels Bohr I need you to understand that neither math majors nor mathematicians spend their time doing arithmetic in their heads and most probably aren’t that good at it.

Take m,n positive integers with m>n. Then the infinite set of Pythagorean Triples (a,b,c) satisfying
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is given by the generator formula: k(m^2 - n^2, 2mn, m^2 + n^2), for any k positive integer.

Proof:
 (k(m^2 - n^2))^2 + (2kmn)^2 = k^2(m^4 - 2m^2n^2 + n^4 + 4m^2n^2)

= k^2(m^2 + 2m^2n^2 + n^4) = (k(m^2 + n^2))^2

The condition m>n>0 ensures that a,b,c>0 (obvious).

m = 2 and n = 1 gives the basic Pythogarean Triple (3,4,5) in the primitive case k = 1. k simply means that any scalar multiple of a Triple is also a Triple.

Follow on question, which of these square numbers also satisfy the condition: a) 289  b) 225 c) 100 d) 169

Took me like 10 seconds to figure it out without having a single math degree. That was an insanely easy question. 70% of that audience are morons.

Maybe if you try the minimum strategy, you just keep analysing every number and the smallest parts you can divide it that also are square numbers, therefore you come to the conclusion that the only option is 25

So that's what the question was referring to! Another commenter mentioned the question would've been more intuitive if the they used "squared" for the 2nd square.

Since the highest number is 49, you only need to go through the combinations of 1-6 so you should be able to handle it

I have a degree in mathematics too, and I struggled. I did get the right answer in plenty of time, but I also wonder how I would have fared under pressure. I am not very good at all with mental arithmetic, especially when under pressure. I know (3, 4, 5), but (9, 16, 25) is less recognizable.

What pressure is there to get 9+16? Stop finding excuses for dumb ppl ffs

Seriously? It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes or so, really. You need to test 4 or 5 numbers, each of them taking a few seconds.

16. 1^2 = 1. You're left with 15, which isn't a square. Try 2^2 = 4. You're left with 12, which doesn't work. Try 3^2 = 9. Left with 7, which doesn't work, move to the next.

By the time you test 3^2 on 25, and you're left with 16, which is 4^2, the answer should be obvious. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes at most. I found the video kinda baffling, like the guy didn't even understand what the question meant.

@Ethan Greenberg No, because a number is not smaller than itself.

Bruh. I have this memorized since 5th grade xD<br>If I hadn't, it'd take me like 30 more seconds to test my options until I find the answer. The question is elementary!

there arent even that many combinations (that you cannot rule out immediately), but i think the pressure would have made this 10 times harder for me as well.

@Monwhea Jeng I don't remember seeing those 3 numbers that much but that may just be me.

I started with 2, 3, 4 and 5 until I got the right pair 😂

@Xenomnipotent haha,i did not had to be a maths major to write that. Though i am not a maths major but an  engineering undergrad in India's best college and world's 250th best uni

You need to be a math major to get a question that simple right? I didnt know about 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2, i just thought of the first perfect squares, 4, 9 & 16, and realized 9 + 16 = 25

Well not really. Firstly there's no pressure he has all the time in the world to figure it out. It's not like a quiz where you get timed out and have to think fast. There's only 4 answers it has to be one of them so there are hardly any combinations to test. These are the squares of 4,5,6, and 7. So it's immediately obvious that 1^2 can't be one of the 2 because adding or subtracting one from the answers shown won't give you a square. In 6 cases this is obvious (the lower or higher square is right there in front of you and you can see it's more than 1 away) for the other 2 it should be trivial to see that neither 15 nor 50 are squares.

Similar logic for 2^2. 16-4  = 12 isn't a square (the next lower square is 9) and all the other answers are more than 4 apart from each other. That strongly suggests one of the squares is going to be 3^2 (if we get any higher than 3, then it would need to be 2 of the answers shown but we can see adding any 2 of these, say  16+25 is 41, 16+36 is 52 - so one number isn't a square and the other additions are getting too high - the answer must be less than 49. That means 3^2 must be one of them, that's a difference of 9 and 2 of the answers shown have a difference of 9. So we can see B (25) is (A) 16 + 9, which is 3^2.

@Ankit Singh bro its whole squares, they didnt mention integers because it aint apart of the question

So for 49, the highest numbers you can have 6^2+6^2, lowest numbers 4^2, 4^2 (since root of 49/2 more than 4).
So you have 6 combinations, 4^2+4^2=32, 4^2+5^2=41, 4^2+6^2=52, (you could stop there since numbers will only increase) 5^2+6^2,=61 6^2+6^2=72. None of these numbers are 49 so it's not 49.
For 36: 4^2+4^2 = 32,  4^2+5^2=41 so not 36.
for 25: 3^2+3^2=18, 3^2+4^2=25 it's 25.

Since they didn't specify that the number had to be nonzero, one could have easily just taken the square root of any of the numbers, squared it, then added 0^2 to it and you would have gotten a square of 2 lower numbers.

i mean if you solved quite a bit of pythagorean stuff then this one should basically be branded into your head

@Niels Bohr meanwhile you, not a math major, a nobody.

I nice thing to notice is that when you take the difference between two adjacent squares, for example, you’ll get a specific odd number equal to those two roots added to each other: 4^2 - 3^2 = 4 + 3
5^2 - 4^2 = 5+4
You can use this to your advantage to find triplets with two adjacent integers (and can vary on it with other combinations for non adjacent ones)
For example 3^2 being equal to 9 (an odd number), you can cut it into two, nearly equal halves to get the two other squares, which are 5 and 4
Another example, 7^2 is equal to 49, so 7 is included in the triplet 7^2 + 24^2 = 25^2

I would had started multiplying and summarizing the numbers in my head. I had plenty of time as they always mention.

All the options here are correct. As they have not mentioned about integer numbers.

@Ekrem Papazoğlu they're not really memorised specifically ,but they're like the smallest triplet to fit in the Pythagorean theorem , so people generally remember it I assume.

Dude I don't have that memorized and still got that in 10 seconds, like they first need to learn english then math.

You don't need to be a math major to have that memorized lol it's basic 8th grade math. Also, the angles of a 345 triangle are notably 37 and 53 deg. So that's that.

I really don't think it takes too much time to brute force as well: highest option is 49=7^2. If you just try going for eliminating the wrong choices: 16-9=7, 16-4=12, 16-1=15, none of which are squares, so A is incorrect. But then when you start checking the second option, 25-16=9 is a square. Takes only 4 subtractions in total to find the answer.

@Ekrem Papazoğlu Those are called (primitive) Pythagorean triplets. (3,4,5) is one, another is (5,12,13). There's infinitely many of them and there are closed forms and algorithms for generating all possible such triplets.

Not really memorized as such when in school, but you keep seeing it a lot when doing geometry that you remember it. When learning about right triangles, the very first and simplest example is a 3-4-5 right triangle (hypotenuse of length 5, base and perpendicular of lengths 3 and 4)

@Ekrem Papazoğlu I wasn't ever told "memorize 3^2+4^2=5^2". But those are the smallest integers that fit in the Pythagorean theorem, so they came up a lot.

as a former 5th grader, I have memorised it too.

@Soroush Torkian Oh that makes sense thanks

@Soroush Torkian Oh that makes sense thanks

@Ekrem Papazoğlu A lot of high school math problems that were difficult for me tend to be because I had to throw the Pythagorean theory at it to solve it in some shape or form. So I’d say it’s a good idea to learn Pythagorean triplets to save time on calculations!

I love how the audience clapped after failing to math xD
