Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So there was a new world record set yesterday.
I want to be able to share it, but also
I want to be able to share it with Diane
because I feel like, based on the last conversation, like
you're kind of left out of that right for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So maybe maybe maybe this would be really really good
for you.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
So this new world record that was set yesterday, I
think I think you would be good at I don't
know if you would be world record.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good at it, but I think you would be good
at it.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And I'd actually like to see if you could pull
it off.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh, is this a challenge right now?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Maybe? Yeah? No, I mean we can. I mean we
can kind of see. I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I don't want to put you under the gun anyway.
There was a teenager in Kentucky that just broke the
uh that just.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Broke the record for it. I love the look I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A teenager in Kentucky with a talent for solving the
fifteen puzzle broke a Guinness World record by solving ten
fifteen puzzles in one minute, sixteen point thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Okay, I don't know what a fifteen puzzle is.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yes, you do, what is it if you if you
pulled up a fifteen puzzle and put it up on
the big screen, there has to be an online version.
If you pulled up a fifteen puzzle and put it
on the big screen. I promise you you've seen this before.
So imagine there's there's fifteen little squares, right, yeah, and
they're numbered like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
(01:41):
But there are sixteen slots, so you have to move
the tiles.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh, I ain't good at that. Well, Diane, you haven't
even tried.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I've seen the little plastic. Yes, there's ten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Suck at that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
There's ten puzzle in fifteen puzzles. Okay, now keep in
mind in one minute and sixteen seconds he's solved ten
of these. Oh wow, the video of him, his hands
are like flying all over the place.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So the key is right. Everything has to line up.
What video numerically. I want to see the video of him,
of him breaking a record. He's a kid too, Diane. Yeah,
watch a hold on here, let's see it's loading. How
old is he? I think he's Oh my god, wow,
(02:40):
he's really fast. He's using multiple fingers.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, he solved ten of these? Did you not hear
in a minute sixteen? But I was The record, by
the way, was a minute twenty three some hunting and
pekin No.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, no, no, uh uh.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
He's treating it like a keyboard with a typist that
has an incredible dum score.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Look at him. Go that is Diane.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
That's like when you see them solve the Rubiks Cube
incredibly fast.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This to me is actually better than solving the Rubics Cube.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Rubik's Cube is just an algorithm because you can do it. No,
you can't memorize the algorithm. You can get it done.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You took the stickers off the and put them back on, yes,
or you would just disassemble the entire Rubics Cube and
then pop it all back in. I didn't say I
was good, but you for Rubics Cube, for like Rubics
Cube geniuses, that's just memorizing an algorithm.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So you said he did fifteen puzzles, not ten puzzles, No,
he did. He did. He played a fifteen puzzle, yes,
that's the name of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yes, fifteen tiles in sixteen slots. But he solved ten
of those, Yes, in a minute sixteen.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I have found an online version, Diane of fifteen Posten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, let me see. Oh good, it times you okay,
so how does this work? Let's figure it out. You
play well?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
When I hit play is the first start of the game.
First time, first one, first, oh, this is a practice
round for Dan.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Dian move the tiles in the grid to order them
from one to fifteen. To move a tile, you can
click on it or use your arrow keys Chris escape
to pause the game.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So please, Diane, because I'll have to click for you.
You need to narrate what you're doing. Oh good, okay,
Well I can't anticipate the move.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's gonna take me a minute sixteen to figure out
the first move.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You may see something no, hold on, you may see
something that Kristen, nor Elliott nor myself see.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So we can't guess.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What you're gonna do right ready, I don't know. But
this is this. This is not if Guinness is listening.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
This is a test. This is like, this is practice.
This is like Kimmy coming in a week before the record.
Here you go, all right, play okay, here.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Go okay, well already spot okay, one is in a
good spot. So let's move nine and three down. Yes,
now move eight to the right, move ten down, move
two to the left. Okay, Now I'm stuck.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He's got to go up two places.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I know, the right in the right spot. Well it, Dian,
what do you want me to move? Move eight up,
move three up? Yes, move five right and move ten down.
(05:39):
Mm hmm, let's see. Yeah, I'm done. No, you're all right?
Move three left, eight down?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Wait right? Wait he's are you saying correct? Correct? Correct?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Mm hmm? Go two right, move three up? Yep, okay,
now move eight yeah, two down? Yes, three right?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, Now three is in the correct spot. Okay, right,
you just got to get that two in there.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well well, well I don't have to go not necessarily
in numerical order.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Is this the best strategy? Are people who play this
game often or are familiar with it? Do they know
you don't start by just trying to do one? Two, three, four,
one right on one right six up?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Eight left?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Huh two?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Left? M hey christmain worse spot than I was before?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Christen? Does Sudoka? Has she replayed these games?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You've never heard of? Fifteen puzzle? You've seen this before.
You've never seen this?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Am I pausing this game?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hit eskape, hit escape pause.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Or yeah, we just pause pause because Diane. Diane is
still noodling it out. Christ find me somebody who either
plays fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Please.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Now Diane has gotten kind of that top row done.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We're still missing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
She's seventy she's seventy five percent of the way through
the first row.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, she has six, one, three, four? Yeah. No, no,
but one, three and four are on the right row.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh oh, and has it been more than a minute sixteen?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yes? No, that was practice round.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, but I mean it says time minute fifty that
guy had solved ten of these.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I know in that same amount of time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Kristin, will you see if you can find me anybody
that plays fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle, or has ever
played fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. I don't know if
it goes by another name. That's all I've heard of
it before.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Like I knew exactly what the name the little plastic
ones before, exactly that's what it was called.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. Sometimes it's an image
that you have to put together. Oh, so it'll be
like the Mona Lisa's face. Okay, but yeah anything Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well but everybody knows what the Mona Lise is, so
you have to lighter chin here, in her nose there,
and her eyes up here. Yeah, that's it's all. It's
all a takeoff on fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. Ten
puzzle is really for babies. Wait, fifteen puzzle is what
is the is? The is the recognized by Guinness? Oh,
Christen's asking is ten puzzle easier than fifteen puzzle?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah? Ten puzzle is is for babies.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And I will say the guy who set the record, Yeah,
he's a senior in high school. A little bit of
an advantage over Diane because he looks nerdy.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No, he with the physical toy was moving more than
one thing at once. The computer is limited because you
have to click one at a time. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So, Diane, if you were able to click multiple pieces
at a time, would you be doing better?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No, this is a touchscreen monitor. Could you see yourself?
Maybe already?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Okay, you're going to carry that confidence into the reset
forever for the official try.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Wait hold online too, hi Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Good morning class, Yes, trying how to do the puzzle?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is there is there like some hack?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Yeah. Once you get the top two roads done, all
you gotta do is make a snake of the bottom
two rows to get the numbers in order, and just
keep going in a circle, sliding the number you need
into plate in the bottom right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Got it. Flies are landing in the mouth. She picked
up what he was going to do. Yeah, you know
when she stopped listening.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Get the first two rows, Thank you, sir, good hack.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, Diane, let's go. You've had some time.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Are you resetting?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Where are we going back to the pause to gain
You're almost there? Oh, you're going to try to apply
his tip? Yes, okay, here we.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Go, all right? Two right, yes, eight right, six down?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Got it?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
One left now now seventy five percent is accurate on
the top because you have one empty space.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Three four two is down right.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
At this point, Diane's trying to push that plastic tile diagonal.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm stuck.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Uh oh you're not. There's pieces you can move.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Eight up, okay, uh m hmm, two left, three down?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Wait, I have a question eight right, yep, two up.
You're back to seventy.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Ask the question, Grandma, haven't we gone around this block
a couple of times already?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know what Diane's like a basketball player that's doing
a lot of dribbling beyond the three point arc?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Is there is there a glaring move that I'm missing
that you see that I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I would just try something different? All right? Well, do
you think that we win it? Help? No?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
No, no.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
When the game was started and you saw one was
already randomly in the correct position, did that actually hurt
us because it led us to think we were given
some sort of a head start, but we were actually
needing to move that one?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Probably six?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh, oh, you're playing now? Six right eleven up, yes,
ten left.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yep five left, three down, yep, twelve left yep seven up?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Did it?
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Three right, twelve down, six right eleven right, ten up, five, left,
eleven down, six left.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Twelve up, Diane, I have set you up so nicely
now to be able to get that three up there?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It was it's not really obviously it looks worse, but
it became obvious that you didn't know what you were
doing about.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You can say it with all the confidence you can muster,
But now I'm in a worse spot.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't think that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Three is further away from the top road than it
was when I was doing it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
But he's gonna snake it right, Oh you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Got a new snake it.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So you're not good at this either, start over.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
See you're already hit five minutes. No, don't pay attention
at the time. Don't pay attention to the time.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Now, in Elliott's defense, perhaps your moves screwed him. Oh okay, right,
so let's start at the beginning.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yes, because one I think I think that made me right.
Like Diane was like, oh got it, got nothing? The
weapon is really studying the board.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh do you want you want to come in? You
want to come in and take a run.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
At the one we're currently playing, And Diane did mention
we have pasted five minutes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But it's also.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Up to I am this is her game.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If she looks confident, you want to you want a
fresh one or do you want this one?
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Let me just practice on this one.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Okay, just a practice. What's that?
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want you to mess up with Diane with
Diane's boards. I'm trying to help.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Okay, twelve down wait, time out, time out, go back up.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The time didn't stop, you said time out? Shoot?
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I had put the put the three over to the left,
drop seven and.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Four seven down, four down, take the.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Eight over twelve up, three up, seven over to the left.
Uh four down, eight down, twelve over three up.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There you go, eight over eight over. This is yeah.
I'm gonna give you trouble here.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
No no four ups.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No no there, thank you?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Eight down, seven four up, eight over, seven down twelve
Can you jam it in there, diagonal?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
We gotta get that four. This is hard. This, this
guy deserves its props.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
His record now, honestly maybe the greatest world record ever.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yes, the Rubik's Cube.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
People, no offense, kimmy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hmmm, okay, let's start over. Okay, you want to pause
this game. Diane's going to read Diane's official attempt that
only gets a minute sixteen? Correct, I mean to break
the record. Yeah, all right, you ready? Okay, the second
I hit reset, the clock starts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
All right, let's it go, go play go all right?
One up yep, four left, eight up? Now, I don't
you know what I'm doing? Seven right, i'n like before
right four down, eleven right yep ten up, No, nine right, yep, yeah,
(15:14):
nine four to seven snake left. You're at thirty seconds
right now yeah, nine nine left yep, four left, eleven
down the ten right, uh four up? This is this
is worse than last time.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yes, it is one yeah, right five.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Exactly second so far yeah, four down, fourteen down, one left.
What can I help you?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yes, solve the second row first, yeah, one minute.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
None of them are in the right spot. To solve
the second Why I said solve You got to put
him in the right ten seconds, one right, you're moving
the top row five right, oh, no, five left for
fourteen fourteen? Oh four?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Time is up to.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Oh and I have none in the right spot. We
did far better on the first one. The the right spot.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Started in the nine. You crushed the eleven yes, and
the thirteen and fifteen. Good job, Diane. Fifteen it should
be here. Oh, because there's the blank, ye blank at
the end. You don't get to have the blank wherever
you want it.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh, you have to.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I didn't know that, so that changed? Well what you do?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I don't know? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
What is this kid's name?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Say?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh? John Brand from Sayers School. Hat's off to you, dude,
I'm with you. This to me, this, to me is
more impressive than a Rubics skin. Yes, because a RUBIKSU.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Listen, I think a Rubics cube is still impressive. But
those kids no memorize the algorithm. And then it's just
how fast can you spin your hands? Is there an
algorithm to this thing?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
There has to be something that gives you an advantage.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But everything, but everything is everything is randomized on a
Rubic's cube. I get that you could shake it up,
but you never shake up the algorithm. The algorithm is
always the same. If the one is in the top right, bottom, left,
middle row, third over, does it change the algorithm?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Is this an algorithm?
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Does one ever start? Because the two puzzles we've done,
one is already on the top row, So is one
ever like at the very bottom it reset?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Let's just say, oh god, what no, Diane, you don't
have to solve it there you go, okay, so it
moved out of the first round. Yeah, so now it's
in the middle row. Solve the second row first.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It says the fifteen puzzle has been popular for over
one hundred years. The puzzle is simple enough that it
can be solved by children, but adults can still have
a difficult time solving it at first if they aren't
too good at solving puzzles.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I E me, I feel like whenever you do a
puzzle for us, you do well, whether it's wordle connections,
mini crosswords with the hell you crush them.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
The advice given on this site is to work in couplets.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So it inair cares so like one in two.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And then you So you you go to you do
one and two first, then three and four, then five
and six, seven and eight, then thirteen and nine and
then snake it fourteen and ten and complete the puzzle.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So solve one in two go you ready?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Go ooh, it's we're already at a minute. Don matter, no, no,
I have to I have to reset because this would
be cheating. Okay, Diane, ready.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, solve one and two? First, here we go go.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All right? Eleven down, twelve down eight downep seven right
three right one.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Up one is incorrect?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Position uh four left? Uh three down seven left, ten
left two up eight right.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
You just painted yourself in a corner.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Ten down.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You're gonna seven right.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You're gonna jelly it in there.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Three up, I'm not jamming it. Three down, thirty seconds left?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Five up? How are you running? Three down? Wait, you
can't do that. No, I can't be on top of
each other.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Just move seven left and right repeatedly until it runs out,
until I seize.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Alright, So you didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Do well on the coupling, Oh my shuts. All right, well,
congrats to John Bradley. Your record save for another day.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
We'll try again on Monday.
All right, So there was a new world record set yesterday.
I want to be able to share it, but also
I want to be able to share it with Diane
because I feel like, based on the last conversation, like
you're kind of left out of that right for obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So maybe maybe maybe this would be really really good
for you.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
So this new world record that was set yesterday, I
think I think you would be good at I don't
know if you would be world record.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Good at it, but I think you would be good
at it.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And I'd actually like to see if you could pull
it off.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh, is this a challenge right now?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Maybe? Yeah? No, I mean we can. I mean we
can kind of see. I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I don't want to put you under the gun anyway.
There was a teenager in Kentucky that just broke the
uh that just.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Broke the record for it. I love the look I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A teenager in Kentucky with a talent for solving the
fifteen puzzle broke a Guinness World record by solving ten
fifteen puzzles in one minute, sixteen point thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Okay, I don't know what a fifteen puzzle is.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yes, you do, what is it if you if you
pulled up a fifteen puzzle and put it up on
the big screen, there has to be an online version.
If you pulled up a fifteen puzzle and put it
on the big screen. I promise you you've seen this before.
So imagine there's there's fifteen little squares, right, yeah, and
they're numbered like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
(01:41):
But there are sixteen slots, so you have to move
the tiles.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh, I ain't good at that. Well, Diane, you haven't
even tried.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I've seen the little plastic. Yes, there's ten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Suck at that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
There's ten puzzle in fifteen puzzles. Okay, now keep in
mind in one minute and sixteen seconds he's solved ten
of these. Oh wow, the video of him, his hands
are like flying all over the place.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So the key is right. Everything has to line up.
What video numerically. I want to see the video of him,
of him breaking a record. He's a kid too, Diane. Yeah,
watch a hold on here, let's see it's loading. How
old is he? I think he's Oh my god, wow,
(02:40):
he's really fast. He's using multiple fingers.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, he solved ten of these? Did you not hear
in a minute sixteen? But I was The record, by
the way, was a minute twenty three some hunting and
pekin No.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, no, no, uh uh.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
He's treating it like a keyboard with a typist that
has an incredible dum score.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Look at him. Go that is Diane.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
That's like when you see them solve the Rubiks Cube
incredibly fast.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This to me is actually better than solving the Rubics Cube.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Rubik's Cube is just an algorithm because you can do it. No,
you can't memorize the algorithm. You can get it done.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You took the stickers off the and put them back on, yes,
or you would just disassemble the entire Rubics Cube and
then pop it all back in. I didn't say I
was good, but you for Rubics Cube, for like Rubics
Cube geniuses, that's just memorizing an algorithm.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So you said he did fifteen puzzles, not ten puzzles, No,
he did. He did. He played a fifteen puzzle, yes,
that's the name of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yes, fifteen tiles in sixteen slots. But he solved ten
of those, Yes, in a minute sixteen.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I have found an online version, Diane of fifteen Posten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, let me see. Oh good, it times you okay,
so how does this work? Let's figure it out. You
play well?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
When I hit play is the first start of the game.
First time, first one, first, oh, this is a practice
round for Dan.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Dian move the tiles in the grid to order them
from one to fifteen. To move a tile, you can
click on it or use your arrow keys Chris escape
to pause the game.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So please, Diane, because I'll have to click for you.
You need to narrate what you're doing. Oh good, okay,
Well I can't anticipate the move.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's gonna take me a minute sixteen to figure out
the first move.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You may see something no, hold on, you may see
something that Kristen, nor Elliott nor myself see.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So we can't guess.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What you're gonna do right ready, I don't know. But
this is this. This is not if Guinness is listening.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
This is a test. This is like, this is practice.
This is like Kimmy coming in a week before the record.
Here you go, all right, play okay, here.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Go okay, well already spot okay, one is in a
good spot. So let's move nine and three down. Yes,
now move eight to the right, move ten down, move
two to the left. Okay, Now I'm stuck.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He's got to go up two places.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I know, the right in the right spot. Well it, Dian,
what do you want me to move? Move eight up,
move three up? Yes, move five right and move ten down.
(05:39):
Mm hmm, let's see. Yeah, I'm done. No, you're all right?
Move three left, eight down?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Wait right? Wait he's are you saying correct? Correct? Correct?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Mm hmm? Go two right, move three up? Yep, okay,
now move eight yeah, two down? Yes, three right?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, Now three is in the correct spot. Okay, right,
you just got to get that two in there.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well well, well I don't have to go not necessarily
in numerical order.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Is this the best strategy? Are people who play this
game often or are familiar with it? Do they know
you don't start by just trying to do one? Two, three, four,
one right on one right six up?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Eight left?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Huh two?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Left? M hey christmain worse spot than I was before?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Christen? Does Sudoka? Has she replayed these games?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You've never heard of? Fifteen puzzle? You've seen this before.
You've never seen this?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Am I pausing this game?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hit eskape, hit escape pause.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Or yeah, we just pause pause because Diane. Diane is
still noodling it out. Christ find me somebody who either
plays fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Please.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Now Diane has gotten kind of that top row done.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We're still missing.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
She's seventy she's seventy five percent of the way through
the first row.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, she has six, one, three, four? Yeah. No, no,
but one, three and four are on the right row.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh oh, and has it been more than a minute sixteen?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yes? No, that was practice round.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, but I mean it says time minute fifty that
guy had solved ten of these.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I know in that same amount of time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Kristin, will you see if you can find me anybody
that plays fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle, or has ever
played fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. I don't know if
it goes by another name. That's all I've heard of
it before.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Like I knew exactly what the name the little plastic
ones before, exactly that's what it was called.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. Sometimes it's an image
that you have to put together. Oh, so it'll be
like the Mona Lisa's face. Okay, but yeah anything Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well but everybody knows what the Mona Lise is, so
you have to lighter chin here, in her nose there,
and her eyes up here. Yeah, that's it's all. It's
all a takeoff on fifteen puzzle or ten puzzle. Ten
puzzle is really for babies. Wait, fifteen puzzle is what
is the is? The is the recognized by Guinness? Oh,
Christen's asking is ten puzzle easier than fifteen puzzle?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah? Ten puzzle is is for babies.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And I will say the guy who set the record, Yeah,
he's a senior in high school. A little bit of
an advantage over Diane because he looks nerdy.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No, he with the physical toy was moving more than
one thing at once. The computer is limited because you
have to click one at a time. That's a great point.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So, Diane, if you were able to click multiple pieces
at a time, would you be doing better?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No, this is a touchscreen monitor. Could you see yourself?
Maybe already?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Okay, you're going to carry that confidence into the reset
forever for the official try.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Wait hold online too, hi Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Good morning class, Yes, trying how to do the puzzle?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is there is there like some hack?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Yeah. Once you get the top two roads done, all
you gotta do is make a snake of the bottom
two rows to get the numbers in order, and just
keep going in a circle, sliding the number you need
into plate in the bottom right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Got it. Flies are landing in the mouth. She picked
up what he was going to do. Yeah, you know
when she stopped listening.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Get the first two rows, Thank you, sir, good hack.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, Diane, let's go. You've had some time.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Are you resetting?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Where are we going back to the pause to gain
You're almost there? Oh, you're going to try to apply
his tip? Yes, okay, here we.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Go, all right? Two right, yes, eight right, six down?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Got it?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
One left now now seventy five percent is accurate on
the top because you have one empty space.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Three four two is down right.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
At this point, Diane's trying to push that plastic tile diagonal.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I'm stuck.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Uh oh you're not. There's pieces you can move.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Eight up, okay, uh m hmm, two left, three down?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Wait, I have a question eight right, yep, two up.
You're back to seventy.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Ask the question, Grandma, haven't we gone around this block
a couple of times already?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know what Diane's like a basketball player that's doing
a lot of dribbling beyond the three point arc?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Is there is there a glaring move that I'm missing
that you see that I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I would just try something different? All right? Well, do
you think that we win it? Help? No?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
No, no.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
When the game was started and you saw one was
already randomly in the correct position, did that actually hurt
us because it led us to think we were given
some sort of a head start, but we were actually
needing to move that one?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Probably six?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh, oh, you're playing now? Six right eleven up, yes,
ten left.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yep five left, three down, yep, twelve left yep seven up?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Did it?
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Three right, twelve down, six right eleven right, ten up, five, left,
eleven down, six left.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Twelve up, Diane, I have set you up so nicely
now to be able to get that three up there?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It was it's not really obviously it looks worse, but
it became obvious that you didn't know what you were
doing about.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You can say it with all the confidence you can muster,
But now I'm in a worse spot.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't think that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Three is further away from the top road than it
was when I was doing it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
But he's gonna snake it right, Oh you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Got a new snake it.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So you're not good at this either, start over.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
See you're already hit five minutes. No, don't pay attention
at the time. Don't pay attention to the time.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Now, in Elliott's defense, perhaps your moves screwed him. Oh okay, right,
so let's start at the beginning.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yes, because one I think I think that made me right.
Like Diane was like, oh got it, got nothing? The
weapon is really studying the board.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh do you want you want to come in? You
want to come in and take a run.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
At the one we're currently playing, And Diane did mention
we have pasted five minutes.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But it's also.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Up to I am this is her game.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If she looks confident, you want to you want a
fresh one or do you want this one?
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Let me just practice on this one.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Okay, just a practice. What's that?
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't want you to mess up with Diane with
Diane's boards. I'm trying to help.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Okay, twelve down wait, time out, time out, go back up.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The time didn't stop, you said time out? Shoot?
Speaker 8 (13:29):
I had put the put the three over to the left,
drop seven and.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Four seven down, four down, take the.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Eight over twelve up, three up, seven over to the left.
Uh four down, eight down, twelve over three up.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There you go, eight over eight over. This is yeah.
I'm gonna give you trouble here.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
No no four ups.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No no there, thank you?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Eight down, seven four up, eight over, seven down twelve
Can you jam it in there, diagonal?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
We gotta get that four. This is hard. This, this
guy deserves its props.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
His record now, honestly maybe the greatest world record ever.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yes, the Rubik's Cube.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
People, no offense, kimmy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Hmmm, okay, let's start over. Okay, you want to pause
this game. Diane's going to read Diane's official attempt that
only gets a minute sixteen? Correct, I mean to break
the record. Yeah, all right, you ready? Okay, the second
I hit reset, the clock starts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
All right, let's it go, go play go all right?
One up yep, four left, eight up? Now, I don't
you know what I'm doing? Seven right, i'n like before
right four down, eleven right yep ten up, No, nine right, yep, yeah,
(15:14):
nine four to seven snake left. You're at thirty seconds
right now yeah, nine nine left yep, four left, eleven
down the ten right, uh four up? This is this
is worse than last time.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yes, it is one yeah, right five.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Exactly second so far yeah, four down, fourteen down, one left.
What can I help you?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yes, solve the second row first, yeah, one minute.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
None of them are in the right spot. To solve
the second Why I said solve You got to put
him in the right ten seconds, one right, you're moving
the top row five right, oh, no, five left for
fourteen fourteen? Oh four?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Time is up to.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Oh and I have none in the right spot. We
did far better on the first one. The the right spot.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Started in the nine. You crushed the eleven yes, and
the thirteen and fifteen. Good job, Diane. Fifteen it should
be here. Oh, because there's the blank, ye blank at
the end. You don't get to have the blank wherever
you want it.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Oh, you have to.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I didn't know that, so that changed? Well what you do?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I don't know? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
What is this kid's name?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Say?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh? John Brand from Sayers School. Hat's off to you, dude,
I'm with you. This to me, this, to me is
more impressive than a Rubics skin. Yes, because a RUBIKSU.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Listen, I think a Rubics cube is still impressive. But
those kids no memorize the algorithm. And then it's just
how fast can you spin your hands? Is there an
algorithm to this thing?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
There has to be something that gives you an advantage.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But everything, but everything is everything is randomized on a
Rubic's cube. I get that you could shake it up,
but you never shake up the algorithm. The algorithm is
always the same. If the one is in the top right, bottom, left,
middle row, third over, does it change the algorithm?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Is this an algorithm?
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Does one ever start? Because the two puzzles we've done,
one is already on the top row, So is one
ever like at the very bottom it reset?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Let's just say, oh god, what no, Diane, you don't
have to solve it there you go, okay, so it
moved out of the first round. Yeah, so now it's
in the middle row. Solve the second row first.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It says the fifteen puzzle has been popular for over
one hundred years. The puzzle is simple enough that it
can be solved by children, but adults can still have
a difficult time solving it at first if they aren't
too good at solving puzzles.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I E me, I feel like whenever you do a
puzzle for us, you do well, whether it's wordle connections,
mini crosswords with the hell you crush them.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
The advice given on this site is to work in couplets.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So it inair cares so like one in two.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And then you So you you go to you do
one and two first, then three and four, then five
and six, seven and eight, then thirteen and nine and
then snake it fourteen and ten and complete the puzzle.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So solve one in two go you ready?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Go ooh, it's we're already at a minute. Don matter, no, no,
I have to I have to reset because this would
be cheating. Okay, Diane, ready.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, solve one and two? First, here we go go.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All right? Eleven down, twelve down eight downep seven right
three right one.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Up one is incorrect?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Position uh four left? Uh three down seven left, ten
left two up eight right.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
You just painted yourself in a corner.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Ten down.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You're gonna seven right.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You're gonna jelly it in there.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Three up, I'm not jamming it. Three down, thirty seconds left?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Five up? How are you running? Three down? Wait, you
can't do that. No, I can't be on top of
each other.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Just move seven left and right repeatedly until it runs out,
until I seize.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Alright, So you didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Do well on the coupling, Oh my shuts. All right, well,
congrats to John Bradley. Your record save for another day.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
We'll try again on Monday.
