Transcript

00:00Okay, listen up.

00:01Lenora and Luna are twin sisters and vampires.

00:05They love Twitter and pranks.

00:08Luna lies on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

00:11And Lenora lies on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

00:14On the remaining days, they only tell the truth.

00:18Today, to celebrate their 1147th birthday,

00:22Luna posts on Twitter,

00:24I lied yesterday.

00:26And Lenora comments on her post,

00:28Me too!

00:29What day was it?

00:39It was Thursday.

00:40Luna could say that she lied the day before on Monday or on Thursday.

00:45And Lenora on Thursday and Sunday.

00:48So for both, it could only be Thursday.

00:52Luna and Lenora love messing with humans.

00:55They go to a party to find someone delicious.

00:58All these guys are vampires, except one.

01:01Can you spot the human?

01:11Take a closer look at the guy in the middle.

01:14He's the only one who has the eyes of a normal human being.

01:18Get out!

01:19The guy's name is Billy.

01:21The sisters lure him into their house.

01:23They're in a good mood and decide to give him a choice.

01:27Billy can choose which of them would bite him first.

01:30Billy answers, and the sisters let him go.

01:33What did he say?

01:34He said,

01:44Let the more beautiful sister bite me first.

01:48Smarty pants.

01:50Luna and Lenora have recently visited two vampire weddings.

01:54Here are two pictures.

01:55Can you guess which couple is more silly?

02:07The first wedding ceremony takes place in a castle.

02:10But it's daytime, and the sun rays sneak into the room.

02:14Meanwhile, the second couple is having a wedding on the beach.

02:17They're under a tent, and the sun will soon set.

02:20So, the first couple is more silly.

02:25Luna and Lenora finally buy a piece of land and start building their dream castle.

02:30Luna has the necessary education and controls everything.

02:34One evening, she comes over to see how the construction is going.

02:38Oh no!

02:39Someone has broken an expensive stained glass window.

02:42Luna calls three workers and questions them.

02:45Bob says,

02:46I received the window delivery in the morning and put it in the barn.

02:50Then I worked on the floors.

02:52I didn't approach it again.

02:54Gerald says,

02:55I was hanging TVs that I bought from the store.

02:58And Xavier says,

03:00I measured the house in order to make a staircase to the second floor.

03:04Who is lying?

03:14Gerald.

03:15According to his reply, he hung up the TVs.

03:17But the castle isn't even completed.

03:20Looks like he broke the window and decided to confuse Luna.

03:24Well, lucky Gerald.

03:26He gets fired instead of bit.

03:28And the remaining workers continue construction.

03:31Finally, they finish two rooms in the castle.

03:33Can you spot five differences between them?

03:36There's a trap hidden in this room.

03:49Can you find it?

03:51Luna and Lenora are visiting an art workshop.

04:05Can you spot who's not from this planet, model or artist?

04:10It's the artist.

04:12It's the artist.

04:16Take a look at his work.

04:21He doesn't know how many hands human beings should have.

04:26Then they visit a pottery workshop and take these two pictures.

04:29Can you spot three differences between them?

04:41Here they are.

04:43Lenora dates a human, Dr. David.

04:46She goes to the hospital to visit him.

04:48Can you spot which one of these three doctors is David?

05:00The first guy is wearing a badge.

05:02His name is Tom.

05:03And the second guy is hiding a police badge.

05:06So he probably works undercover.

05:08Therefore, David is the third guy.

05:12David goes to the basement to get some spooky drinks for Lenora.

05:16But someone pushes him from behind and he faints.

05:20David wakes up in a weird room with three pills in his hand.

05:24He has to pass through three doors guarded by monsters.

05:27Which pill should he use to pass through each door?

05:38David should use the invisibility pill for the first door.

05:43If he flies, the vampire will turn into a bat and catch him.

05:47And the regeneration pill will heal the bite.

05:50But David will still become a vampire.

05:53As for the second door, he should use the ability to fly.

05:56If he becomes invisible, the werewolf will still smell him.

06:00Regeneration isn't helpful either.

06:02Because he may still turn into a werewolf.

06:05He should use it for the third door.

06:07To make the body invulnerable before meeting a maniac.

06:12Meanwhile, Luna is visiting a vampire party.

06:15She spots an imposter among the guests right away.

06:19Can you find this person too?

06:30Only the fourth lady has a shadow.

06:32So she's not a vampire.

06:34At the party, Luna meets her old friend, Glenda.

06:39Can you spot her husband?

06:49It's the third guy.

06:51They're wearing similar pearl earrings.

06:53The next evening, Luna is visiting their unfinished castle.

06:58She finds out that someone has stolen their expensive antique painting.

07:02Only three workers had access to this room.

07:05Luna questions all of them.

07:08Kyle says, I was feeling sick yesterday, so I went home earlier.

07:11The painting was in its place.

07:14Bob said, I was the last to leave yesterday and I locked all the doors in the building.

07:19I think this painting is cursed because Kyle got sick after staring at it.

07:24And Xavier says, I just arrived from the architect with new building blueprints.

07:29I don't know who did it.

07:31Who stole the painting?

07:32He cut the painting out of the frame, rolled it, and hid it among the blueprints.

07:49Lenore and David are shopping together.

07:51They choose some clothes and go to try them on.

07:54Can you spot what's wrong here?

07:56The mirror doesn't reflect properly.

08:08James is a journalist who loves solving difficult crimes.

08:11He heard on the news about a mysterious disappearance of pets all over town.

08:16So, he decided to investigate for himself.

08:19He started by visiting a park, where most pets have disappeared over the past week.

08:24By looking at the image, can you tell who's responsible for the disappearances?

08:39The old lady looks pretty innocent.

08:42And that young couple is too busy arguing.

08:44But the guy sitting on the bench has a dog collar hidden in his pocket.

08:48But no dog.

08:50He's the culprit.

08:51The following week, he heard rumors about a small supermarket that was selling expired products to their client.

08:59So, he went to investigate it more closely.

09:02He examined the cookies, the soft drinks, and the bottles of milk.

09:06Can you figure out if the market is really committing a crime here?

09:10Take a look at the milk.

09:21The expired milk is hiding behind the regular milk.

09:24It's more yellow than the new ones.

09:26Guess they imagined people would buy it sooner or later.

09:30One of James' friends invited him to go to a festival to investigate a serious case.

09:35They were serving expensive dishes, with absurdly low-quality ingredients.

09:41They tasted the food of a few stalls before they could identify which chef was sabotaging the food.

09:47Can you tell?

09:58The stalls look fine, but the last chef is suspicious.

10:02On the back of his stall, you can see the amount of flies flying over his ingredients.

10:07They are poorly conserved, out of the fridge, and probably gone sour by now.

10:13Ew.

10:15An important art gallery premiered a new show, filled with expensive paintings of a new artist.

10:21Only regulars came to check it out.

10:23But by the end of the night, one of the paintings had disappeared.

10:27Can you help James check the security tapes and figure out who did it?

10:32These three elderly men look suspicious.

10:44One of them is wearing a hat indoors, which is weird, but stylish.

10:48The second is wearing sunglasses at night.

10:51But the third one, with a stooped back?

10:53Well, no one's back is that rectangular.

10:57He must have hid the painting under his coat, behind his back.

11:00A horrible crime happened in James' neighborhood, and a person was severely hurt.

11:07James went over to check the crime scene.

11:10There were three women in the house.

11:12One was cleaning, one was investigating, and one was taking photos.

11:16Can you guess who's guilty here?

11:18Check the details.

11:29The one who was cleaning had a stained cloth with a red stain on it that looks like blood.

11:35But it's just the paint from the wall that came off a bit.

11:39While the one taking the photos has a shiny object in her bag.

11:42If you look closely, it's a sharp knife that matches the object used in the crime.

11:50One night, James decided to go out for dinner when he ran into one of his exes, Maria.

11:55He noticed she was out on a date with another guy, but was hurt because they had broken up just a few weeks ago.

12:02Take a good look at the picture.

12:04Can you help James figure out which guy Maria is on a date with?

12:18From the two guys standing on the bar's counter, Maria's date is the guy on the left.

12:23He's holding a gift in his hand.

12:25And if you look closely, the tag says,

12:28From Pete to Maria.

12:29So he's the one.

12:31James was getting so good at solving mysteries

12:35that a game show host invited him to be on the lookout for potential saboteurs of the show.

12:42One night, three contestants were invited to pick up a bar of gold from a bowl filled with piranhas.

12:48James noticed that one of the contestants was cheating.

12:51Can you figure out which one?

13:01It's the guy in the middle.

13:05He switched the fish from his bowl.

13:07If you look closely, they're more golden than the other ones.

13:10That's because it's another species, not as dangerous as piranhas.

13:15Faye just came back from living abroad, and she invited James to her welcome back party.

13:21During the night, the lights went out, the music stopped, and someone screamed they were being robbed.

13:26James spent the rest of the night looking at the security footage to identify the robber.

13:32Can you help him figure out who it was?

13:44It was the girl dancing on the left corner.

13:47Take a close look at her pocket.

13:49Before the lights went out, there was nothing there.

13:51Then, it has something in the shape of a necklace in there.

13:56Friday night, James went to a concert of one of his favorite bands.

14:00But the concert was over an hour later, because one of its members simply disappeared.

14:06When she finally appeared, the crowd shouted she didn't look like herself.

14:10James figured out she, in fact, wasn't herself.

14:14But the band was trying to cover it.

14:16Take a look at the evidence.

14:18How did James figure it out?

14:26The first picture shows the original band.

14:32The guitar player is blonde and doesn't have a pimple on her face.

14:36That night, the guitar player was brunette, way taller, and had pimples.

14:43It's finals week at Crestwood Academy, and the tension was sky high.

14:47On the day of the biology exam, the principal decided to invite James to supervise all the classrooms.

14:54When he strolled into room 5A, he immediately spotted someone up to no good and got them suspended on the spot.

15:02Check out the classroom and see if you can figure out who is cheating.

15:05It's the student with a smartwatch.

15:19He's looking at his watch to get the answers to the exam.

15:24There was a recent break-in at Mr. O'Reilly's store.

15:27Luckily, James was around to solve the crime.

15:30He noticed one small but very important detail from the security footage that solved the mystery.

15:36Take a look at the images.

15:38Can you figure out who the thief is?

15:50Now let's see.

15:51That guy is just carrying around a baguette.

15:54The one near the fridge has normal groceries in her cart.

15:57And the last guy is holding a lettuce in his hands.

16:00But hey, take a look at the lettuce.

16:03It has such a weird shape.

16:05In fact, it has a banana inside of it.

16:08The guy was trying to sneak out with a banana and a lettuce.

16:11He's the thief, definitely.

16:14James' boss, Roberto, got arrested.

16:17There was something illegal inside his bag.

16:20But he claims it wasn't his.

16:22James went to investigate the case.

16:24He checked the security cameras and saw that two people walked inside Roberto's office while he was out for lunch.

16:31One of them put something inside his bag.

16:34Can you guess who?

16:35The first woman stopped by the window to clean it, but she didn't touch the bag.

16:50While the second bent to throw something in the trash and discreetly placed something inside his bag.

16:56She's the culprit.

16:57James got a call from a gift shop.

17:02The owner told him a robber came in dressed as the Joker.

17:06But since it was Halloween, a lot of people were walking around dressed up like that.

17:11James took a snapshot of the security footage and tracked three suspects.

17:15Take a look at the image.

17:17Can you guess which Joker is the real thief?

17:20The thief is the Joker on the left.

17:33Take a look at his shoes.

17:34They're much bigger than the other shoes.

17:36He must be hiding something inside of it.

17:40James finally decided to run a marathon.

17:43Right before the finish line, he did his best and outran the person who was running in second place.

17:48Somehow, he still didn't finish first.

17:51Why?

18:03This is what happened.

18:05He was fast enough to outrun the person who was going to come in second place,

18:09but not fast enough to outrun the person who finished first.

18:12Noah, James' roommate, got his motorbike stolen straight from their garage.

18:19James started to search for it and tracked three main suspects.

18:23Take a look at them.

18:24Which one stole Noah's motorbike?

18:26It's this guy on the right.

18:40Look closely.

18:41His motorbike is painted, but the paint is dripping, and one can spot the old green color.

18:46He must have stolen it and painted it a different color so as not to attract any attention.

18:51You were traveling through Egypt, got lost from your group, and ended up in an ancient pyramid.

19:00Three passageways lie before you.

19:03The first leads to a room filled with gold.

19:06The second is hidden behind a stone slab with an image of the sun.

19:09And the third one leads you to a dark tunnel with a chilling breeze.

19:14Which pathway leads you to safety?

19:17Here's a tip.

19:18You should follow the beliefs of ancient Egyptians.

19:29You should pick the second path.

19:31The Egyptians believed in the power of the sun, so perhaps that's your safest choice.

19:38It's your first date with an archaeologist.

19:41He takes you to an ancient site and shows you the inscriptions marked on the wall of an old sacred site.

19:46You notice there are several numbers on the wall that form a sequence.

19:502, 3, 5, 7, 11.

19:54But the other numbers are blurred.

19:57He asks you if you can figure out which numbers come next.

20:00Can you?

20:01The numbers that follow would be 13, 17, 19.

20:14This is a sequence of prime numbers, which can only be divided by one and themselves.

20:20A team of archaeologists discover two statues in an ancient city.

20:27But after a few studies, they uncover that one is a fake.

20:31One of the statues is made of marble, and the other is made of bronze.

20:35Both look flawless and untouched by time.

20:39Can you tell which one is fake?

20:40It's the bronze one.

20:51Real ancient bronze statues end up a bit greenish due to oxidation.

20:56So if this statue looks brand new, it means it's fake.

21:02It's quiz night, and the theme is ancient Egypt.

21:05To win $100, you need to answer correctly.

21:08How many husbands did Cleopatra have during her life?

21:12One, three, or four?

21:23It's believed she was married three times.

21:26Her first two husbands were her brothers, and the last was the famous Mark Antony.

21:33You're walking deep within the desert in Egypt.

21:36When you come across an ancient building with three sand pits in front of it.

21:41Each pit contains a half-buried object.

21:43The inscriptions on the wall warn you that only the pharaoh's gift will open the door to the temple.

21:49You see a golden scarab on the first pit,

21:52an ancient staff with the sun emblem on the second,

21:55and a stone Ankh tablet on the last one.

21:59Which sacred object should you pick?

22:00The ancient staff.

22:11That's because the golden scarab is a symbol of wealth,

22:14but it was often placed in tombs as an offering to the ones who passed away.

22:20The Ankh represents life,

22:22but sacred stone symbols in tombs were often part of protective magic.

22:26Touching them could trigger a curse.

22:28The sun plus the staff were symbols of power and authority of the great pharaohs.

22:36A time machine takes you back to ancient Rome.

22:39When you arrive at the door of an old temple,

22:42the guardian of the temple gives you a vase with the equation

22:46IX plus XI equals what?

22:49Written on it.

22:50It's your task to figure out the result.

22:53What's the answer, genius?

22:54The answer is XX, or 20 in our language.

23:08IX in Roman numerals stands for 9,

23:11while XI is 11,

23:14so the total sum is 20.

23:17You're at your best friend's house.

23:20She's a mystic and believes in the power of symbols.

23:23She asks for your help to choose the logo of her new company,

23:27based on ancient Egyptian beliefs.

23:29She asks you if she should pick a star, the moon, or the sun.

23:34What do you think she should pick?

23:43To have a prosperous business, she should pick the sun.

23:47In ancient Egypt, the sun represented the deity Ra.

23:52The sun represents vitality, warmth, light, and prosperity.

23:59You're doing your master's in ancient Greece,

24:02so you take a semester to go abroad and study the culture closely.

24:06One night, during a fancy dinner party,

24:09a professor challenges you.

24:11She makes you choose one out of three cups.

24:15The first cup is labeled with the symbol,

24:17Psy,

24:18and it's a drink used in sacred rituals.

24:21The second is O,

24:22and it's the drink of rulers and kings.

24:25The last is L,

24:27and contains river water that leads to oblivion.

24:29Which cup should you choose to gain more wisdom for your masters?

24:42The first one.

24:43The Greek letter Psy is a symbol often associated to the psyche,

24:48which can probably reveal great things about one's inner world.

24:52Your archaeology group decides to explore a long-sealed resting place.

24:58When you enter the main chamber,

25:00you discover an inscription that says

25:02that whoever touches the serpent's sign shall know eternal sleep.

25:07What must you avoid touching in this place, explorer?

25:10Well, you should never touch the cobra symbol.

25:23In ancient Egypt,

25:24the cobra was a protector of the pharaoh,

25:26but was also associated with some pretty hardcore curses.

25:32This term's history test is filled with questions on ancient civilizations.

25:37To get an A+,

25:38you need to answer this one correctly.

25:41Which of the following monuments was built first?

25:44The ancient Sphinx,

25:45the Tower of Babel,

25:46or Machu Picchu?

25:56The Great Sphinx of Giza.

25:59It dates back to around 2500 BCE.

26:02The Tower of Babel is mentioned in ancient texts,

26:06but has no confirmed historical date,

26:08and Machu Picchu was built much later,

26:11around the 15th century CE by the Inca civilization.

26:16Your crazy scientist friend let you use his time machine,

26:19but it was led by an AI that made you answer a question before using it.

26:24It told you that to travel to ancient Egypt,

26:27you needed to know which of these things the Egyptians weren't masters of.

26:31architecture,

26:32architecture,

26:32mathematics,

26:33astronomy,

26:34or golf.

26:35Can you guess?

26:36It's golf of course.

26:46Ancient Egyptians were master builders and mathematicians.

26:49They were also readers of the sky,

26:52but they hadn't figured out golf yet.

26:55You find yourself in Crete for a family vacation.

26:58You decide to explore an ancient labyrinth,

27:01and you come to an intersection.

27:03The first path is marked by a bull's head.

27:06The second is carved with a spiraling seashell.

27:08And the third leads to an open doorway,

27:11but there's smoke coming out of it.

27:13Which path should you choose?

27:23The second one.

27:25In ancient Greece,

27:26the civilization of the Minoans revered the sea.

27:30The spiral pattern represents life,

27:32eternity,

27:33and spiritual energy.

27:34So I bet that's the way you should go.

27:39You were watching a movie with your friends about the great Sphinx of Giza.

27:43When you spotted some serious factual mistakes.

27:46The movie said that the Sphinx lost its nose after a heavy thunderstorm.

27:51But you know that it's not sure.

27:54You ask your friends to pick one of the most popular myths regarding the Sphinx ripped nose.

27:59Asking them if it was either Napoleon's doing,

28:01or an angry man's fault.

28:04Which of these is the correct answer?

28:13One of the biggest myths says it was Napoleon who destroyed the Sphinx's nose.

28:19Your favorite barista is feeling funny today and asks you to answer a history buff question.

28:25If you had to travel back in time and choose the civilization that built their cities first,

28:29who would you choose?

28:31The Mayas in Mexico?

28:32The Mesopotamians in the Middle East?

28:34Or the Romans in Europe?

28:46Since you're a genius,

28:47you said the Mesopotamians.

28:48The first city they built was called Eridu,

28:51and it was built around 5,500 BCE.

28:55Your archaeology teacher asks you to go to the public library to find a rare document.

29:01You ended up finding an old inscription talking about a ruler named Augustus.

29:07Based on his name,

29:08do you think he belonged to the Mayan civilization,

29:11the Minoans,

29:11or the Romans?

29:12He belongs to the Romans.

29:22Augustus was the first emperor of Rome,

29:24genius!

29:28Your friend accidentally time travels to an ancient city where people are speaking Latin.

29:33To find them and bring them back,

29:35you need to figure out where they are.

29:37On the top of your mind,

29:39you think it can be Athens,

29:40Rome,

29:41or ancient Babylon.

29:43Which city do you look at first?

29:53Rome!

29:54Latin was the language of the Romans.

29:58Now look here.

29:59Richard is looking for a new job,

30:01but it's not that easy.

30:03Tricky interviews,

30:05suspicious employers,

30:06and unexpected challenges await him.

30:09You can help him find his dream job

30:11if you solve all the riddles.

30:13Let's give it a shot.

30:15The first job interview is in just one minute,

30:18but Richard can't find the right office building.

30:21His email invitation has a hint instead of an exact address.

30:26So,

30:26which of these three buildings should Richard enter?

30:29Richard should enter the glass building because its windows are sealed shut,

30:42so no one can open them.

30:43The other two buildings have visible window handles.

30:48Richard enters the building,

30:50but before he can get to the final interview room,

30:53the secretary gives him a puzzle.

30:55The password is a three-digit number.

30:58The first digit is the number of legs on a spider.

31:00The second digit is the number of wheels on a bicycle.

31:04The third digit is the number of thumbs a person has.

31:07So,

31:16what is the password?

31:17A spider has eight legs.

31:19A bicycle has two wheels.

31:21A human has two thumbs.

31:24So,

31:25the correct password is 822.

31:27Richard finally enters the interview room,

31:30and

31:31more puzzles await him there.

31:34Oops!

31:34With all the interviews,

31:36Richard forgot he needed to take his pills.

31:39The doctor prescribed him one for the morning,

31:41let's call it X,

31:42and the other one for the evening,

31:44let's call it Y.

31:46Richard cannot take both in the morning or both in the evening.

31:50The pills are absolutely identical.

31:52How should he take them correctly and survive?

31:54He needs to cut each pill in half.

32:05He'll take one half of pill X in the morning

32:08and the other half of X in the evening.

32:10And he should do the same for pill Y.

32:13The interviewer gives Richard a book

32:16to test how quickly he can remember new facts.

32:19He got carried away while reading

32:21and accidentally tore out pages 9, 10, 25, 67, and 68.

32:27How many pages will he have to fix?

32:38Ah, no worries.

32:39He'll only have to fix three pages.

32:429 and 10,

32:43just like 67 and 68,

32:45are different sides of one page.

32:47The next riddle is to test Richard's analytical skills.

32:52He needs to guess which of the employees of the company

32:54is selling their secrets to their rivals.

32:57The only hint is a periodic table

33:00with three elements that are highlighted in red.

33:03Carbon, oxygen, and lithium.

33:06The three suspects are Liam, Colin, and Oliver.

33:17The chemical symbols spell out C-O-L-I,

33:21forming the name Coley.

33:23It's a clue clearly pointing to Colin.

33:26The interview is over,

33:28and while Richard is waiting for the results,

33:30he receives an email.

33:32It's an invitation to work at Microsoft.

33:35Looks like a dream job.

33:37But instead of celebrating,

33:39Richard instantly notices it's a scam.

33:41How did he figure it out?

33:51Well, Microsoft wouldn't send out invitations

33:53to interviews from an email

33:55wehiremicrosoftatcoolmail.com.

34:00It's time for another interview

34:02at a company that seemed perfect.

34:04The office was modern,

34:05and the manager was friendly,

34:07but something felt off.

34:09What's suspicious here?

34:18The fact that there's no company logo anywhere

34:21and no branded material is a huge red flag.

34:25An empty office with no staff

34:27is super suspicious too.

34:29And that huge TV instead of basic office amenities

34:33like a water cooler or coffee machine

34:35is a clear sign that this isn't even an office.

34:38Looks like it's a showroom

34:40or a space used for something else.

34:43Richard gets an invitation

34:44to another interview nearby,

34:46so he decides to check it out.

34:49Instead of the regular questions,

34:51the interviewer asks Richard

34:52to quote popular online memes.

34:55Richard realizes the interviewer

34:57must be a blogger

34:58who is probably streaming all this live.

35:01What gave away the scammer?

35:03The office room seems rather normal,

35:13but what is that teddy bear doing there?

35:16One of its eyes looks bigger than the other.

35:19It must be a hidden camera.

35:21Richard doesn't give up

35:22and sends his CV to two more companies

35:25that are in the same office building.

35:27He sees two managers

35:28and realizes only the first company

35:31will most likely trick him.

35:33How did he figure it out?

35:42Do you see that envelope full of money?

35:45The manager of the first company

35:46is trying to hide it,

35:48so it could be an unofficial salary

35:50or even a bribe.

35:52The manager of the second company

35:54looks professional,

35:55and her watch is a sign

35:56that she values time

35:58and keeps track of things.

36:00So he chooses the second company

36:02and is from the creative industry.

36:05They need to see

36:06if Richard can think outside the box.

36:09The question is,

36:10what will you get

36:11if you add 5 to 500 five times?

36:14It's a creative company, remember?

36:25You'll get

36:25505, 505, 505, 505, and 505.

36:32The interviewer has 15 colored pencils.

36:355 blue, 5 red, and 5 purple.

36:38The task is to divide them into two piles.

36:42One pile must have

36:43twice as many blue pencils

36:44as red pencils.

36:45And another pile

36:46must have more purple pencils

36:48than any other color.

36:50How many red pens

36:51would be in each pile?

37:00It sounds complicated,

37:02but this riddle is there

37:03to test your attention.

37:05The answer is zero,

37:07as we were talking about pencils,

37:09not pens, all the time.

37:11Richard needs to figure out

37:13which principle

37:14this sequence is based on.

37:23The numbers are lined up

37:25in the alphabetical order

37:26of the first and second letters

37:28of their names.

37:298, 5, 4, 9, and so on.

37:33The final task of the interview

37:35is to find the way out of the room.

37:37The door has a combination lock,

37:40and this time,

37:41there seems to be no hint

37:43to guess the six digits.

37:45How can Richard get out?

37:54Well, no one said

37:56the door was actually locked.

37:58He just pushes it,

38:00and it opens.

38:01Richard receives two job offers

38:03and must choose the one

38:04that is safe to accept.

38:06The first company

38:07instantly offers

38:08a high salary,

38:10but requires a passport scan

38:12and bank details

38:13before signing the contract.

38:15The second company

38:16offers a smaller salary

38:18and a trial period,

38:20but provides official employment

38:21and signs the contract first.

38:24Which company should Richard choose?

38:26You should never share

38:35your personal information

38:37like bank details

38:38before signing a contract.

38:40So, the first company is a scam.

38:42Richard should choose

38:43the second one.

38:45Hey, it's Richard's

38:47first day at work.

38:48In the morning,

38:49he reads a newspaper

38:50that has a weird headline.

38:52Workers want to make less money.

38:54He was so intrigued,

38:56he read the article.

38:57And then it made perfect sense.

38:59What is this about?

39:08People working at the Mint

39:10and literally making money

39:12felt overworked and underpaid.

39:14So, they wanted to work less,

39:16which, in their case,

39:18means making less money,

39:20since money is made at the Mint.

39:21Richard arrives at the office

39:24and he instantly notices

39:26something is really wrong there.

39:28Can you figure out what exactly?

39:38Look at the calendar.

39:40June only has 30 days.

39:42So, June 31st,

39:43well, doesn't exist.

39:45It was the first

39:46attentive test at work

39:48and Richard passed it.

39:50His boss comes into the room

39:52and says,

39:53I can beat anyone

39:54who works here at arm wrestling.

39:56But if one of his employees wins,

39:59they will get a reward of 500 bucks.

40:02Richard wants to try,

40:04but other employees tell him not to

40:05because he could get fired.

40:08Why?

40:08The boss said he could beat anyone

40:18who works at the company.

40:20So, to eliminate competition,

40:22he would just fire the person

40:23who was stronger than him.

40:25The first day at the job

40:27went really well.

40:29Richard had to go through scammers,

40:30difficult tests,

40:32and unexpected traps.

40:33But thanks to your help,

40:35he proved his intelligence

40:36and finally landed

40:38the job he deserved.

40:40That's it for today.
