Gus means a** in my language.
[2012-05-07 21:29:48] MrJammieman346 - If he worked out ...If he worked out that he couldn't be hung then it would be a surprise that he was hung :) SIMPLE
[2012-05-07 21:26:06] MrJammieman346 - Yes i got it!, It ...Yes i got it!, It would only not be a surprise if it got to thursday and you hadn't been hung, however, if it got to wednesday, you could get hung on wednesday or thursday (not friday because you WOULD know), on wednesday you don't know if you will be hung so it is a surprise, you could get hung on thursday but only AFTER wednesday, basically wednesday can be a surprise because if he doesnt come on tuesday then he can come on wednesday or thursday
[2012-05-06 19:38:50] deogrou - Oh and why did it ...Oh and why did it take so long for me to discover you? o_O
[2012-05-06 19:36:25] deogrou - I like how you ...I like how you linked 4 paradoxes together with a story and it was funny and informative, but my mind is still fucked :P nice video thoguh!
[2012-05-03 23:42:55] coolboylikethat - help me out here ...help me out here what do you think is the meaning of the word "PARADOX"? how does it relate to physics? what does it have to do with time travel?

[2012-04-25 22:58:51] TheQuantumSandwich - Thumbs up if right ...Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like "Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like 'Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like 'Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like 'Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like 'Thumbs up if right now, you're reading a comment that's like '...
[2012-04-23 04:28:23] JosiahSCooper - IF indeed ...IF indeed everything you said up until the time you wrote that comment was false, then the statement you are now making is false; because you assumed it was true that what is false is true. You cannot make a true statement about something false; so it's just complete fucking nonsense. You made an assumption for the truth. If you had said "Everything I've said up until this point is a lie", then it could've been true. Paradox over.
[2012-04-23 02:30:28] callmetriston - what about a snake ...what about a snake trying to swallow itself. is that a paradox?
[2012-04-22 21:22:29] Hakarugan1 - The key word is ...The key word is EVERYTHING.
[2012-04-22 18:35:21] takonesh - I stopped the video ...I stopped the video at 0:01 added him on Facebook and said dude your imploding my MIND.
[2012-04-22 18:26:47] takonesh - wheatly: I'm gonna ...wheatly: I'm gonna say.. true yay true
[2012-04-21 21:03:09] SuperIbanezRocker - will your answer to ...will your answer to this question be no?
[2012-04-21 13:08:42] BatteryHorse - You know, that ...You know, that could be a false statement. If you had ever said something true, then not everything you said would be false, but you could still have said false things, like that sentence. Not a paradox.
[2012-04-20 01:16:52] eranaldi9 - you do not say " ...you do not say "hung"... it's "Hanged"......
[2012-04-20 00:04:04] duken4hedshots - ITS PBAT :DITS PBAT :D
[2012-04-17 16:27:12] MrAltheArtist - These are covered ...These are covered on the TV show QI. If you haven't heard of it check it out! It's full of facts like these!
[2012-04-16 17:45:37] gjgjgjaify - i got it. Monty ...i got it. Monty Hall always know where the Car is, so when you pick a door, and that door you pick had a goat behind it, and Monty Hall will know that, and the other two doors will have a car and a goat, so then he will always open the door with the goat, and then it would be advantageous to switch because the door that the he didn't open will have a car behind it. But then, if you picked the door with the car the first time, then it might not be advantageous to switch.
[2012-04-16 00:36:23] TheRemingtonChase - I'm glad that I ...I'm glad that I knew the first three paradoxes :D
[2012-04-14 00:01:48] jacksawild - What you must ...What you must realise is that even though switching doors increases your chances, in a purely mathematical fashion, the car could still be behind the least likely door.
[2012-04-13 06:41:40] MrSub4Subscribez - Yes it is. He ...Yes it is. He explained exactly why too.
[2012-04-12 12:44:26] mindstormmaster - You only talked ...You only talked about 3 paradoxes, the Monty Hall problem isn't a paradox.
[2012-04-12 12:02:15] MrTerra5005 - TA!TA!
[2012-04-10 21:04:25] gus191103 - MY NAME IS GUS!MY NAME IS GUS!
[2012-04-10 01:21:20] Rockwarrior2004 - okay but what about ...okay but what about this. why does opening that one door make it logical to change your answer? if it does make a choice 66.7% correct that could apply to either door.
[2012-04-09 22:32:43] palaiding - anyway, think about ...anyway, think about it some more, but the monty hall problem's solution is as such. for a long, long time, many brilliant people (about a thousand with PhDs, according to wikipedia) wrote articles and responses, convinced it was 50/50, the same way you do now, so dwai :)
[2012-04-09 22:31:16] palaiding - it wouldn't really ...it wouldn't really matter because you already knew that. you would still choose to be able to select 2 doors to begin with, right? the problem applies the same thinking: except you are only allowed to choose one door. that the contents behind one of the two-door option is revealed does not affect the probability that the car was 66% of the time behind the two-door option :)
[2012-04-09 22:24:35] palaiding - i get where you're ...i get where you're coming from; i used to think the same way. but the logic is a bit faulty. think about the card example again.. but here: we should be able to agree on the fact that IF you could choose two doors, you would have a 2/3 chance of choosing the right door, yes? and if you could choose two doors you know that there is definitely a goat behind at least one of your two doors. if i allowed you to choose two doors, but then told you that behind one of your two doors was a goat.. (cont)
[2012-04-09 14:23:04] qurra2 - Yes, but there was ...Yes, but there was a 2/3% chanse of getting a goat, 2/3*1/2>1/3*1/2 either way. You still have to take into account the former chanse.
[2012-04-09 00:50:42] Rockwarrior2004 - You don;t get it, ...You don;t get it,The choice is no longer between 3 but instead between 2. You have A, B and C. You Choose Option B and He opens door C. Its a goat. The Then asks you "Option A or Option B, as we both know Option C has been opened and you are not going to pick that since you know its a goat. Since it is now a NEW question given to you instead of having 33.3% chance of being correct you now have a 50% chance.
[2012-04-08 22:28:56] FZaidi182 - Thanks for doing ...Thanks for doing this video Dan. I've been up for the past 2 hours reading about paradoxes.
[2012-04-08 15:27:15] MrWhonut - Hanged. Sorry.Hanged. Sorry.
[2012-04-08 15:09:24] palaiding - if i had a deck of ...if i had a deck of 52 cards and i asked you to blindly pick the ace of spaces, you'd only have a 1/52 chance of getting it right; 51 out of 52 times, the ace of spades would in fact be in my hand. if i were then to eliminate 50 of the 51 cards i had left in my hand and were to tell you "the ace of spades is in one of our hands - will you switch?", the clearly advantageous choice would be to switch. the logic is the same, but on a smaller scale.
[2012-04-08 09:32:29] DelayedBalloon411 - the monty hall ...the monty hall problem was in the movie 21
[2012-04-03 17:52:47] wearblackclothes - heres something ...heres something stupid i dont get, u blend 3 bannanas, then drink half the drink, did i only eat 1.5 bananas?
[2012-04-03 17:51:59] wearblackclothes - omg i need more ...omg i need more story time
[2012-03-29 23:13:13] 1999OboeDude - Hey i saw this on ...Hey i saw this on mythbusters!!
[2012-03-22 20:36:55] llamitatron - Alright I guess it ...Alright I guess it was just a coincidence then. Fair enough.
