Can you solve the private eye riddle? - Henri Picciotto

Um 232 is anime

57?

I was stymied as to why number 461 had a slime line between the 4 and the 6. Looks to me like that was unnecessary and inconsistent. It soured me somewhat on this puzzle.

Bfdi real

Huge missed opportunity, vampire numbers are a real thing in mathematics. They should’ve had one of them be the vampire.

I see.that most of these puzzles threaten your life, or someone else's, or an entire population.

Are Pi and i the guys that caught 7 after what he did to 9?

The bit about the prophecy, it's not the numbers that are slayers themselves, they are the cause. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, vampire moved on them because of it but because he moved he was caught.

what about 0 though?

What's wrong with 11,13,15,17

So the vampires were the roman numerals...

Ted ed be like: LEARN PRIME NUMBERS OR SUFFER

I GOT THIS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG M IS ONE OF THE MINIONS BECAUSE "vaMpire" i think

wait a minute I thought 1 was a prime number.

The round up brackets were funny

i imagine how like

vampire busts the door to some number party

then just stands there thinking where to slime while numbers stay in place and go "oh damn"

I wonder how Disney would have felt if Count von Count was used for the vampire.

7:"We did it guys! We solved the murders!"
6: "Uh guys, where is 9?"
7: burps

Actually, there’s only 4 possible 3-digit solutions… The leading 2 digits must always connect to the trailing 2 digits, and we already have a list of valid 2-digit numbers

The way they “connect” is via the middle digit, where the last digit of the leading 2-digits must be the same as the first digit of the trailing 2 digits:

23 and 37 gives 237

37 and 73 gives 373

53 and 37 gives 537

73 and 37 gives 737

There’s only one choice for the 2nd number each time, because all 4 of our 2-digit numbers have a different tens digit

(And yes, 3 of them happen to end in 3, but that doesn’t seem to be terribly important, except that 37 ends up getting used a lot for the trailing 2-digits)

Why was 1 drained? Isn't 1 a prime number?

These always crack me up. I think I have only ever figured out one of the riddles I have seen out of 10 LOL

Clearly the vampire was from Dictionopolis.

4 is composite

Wait why is 1 non-prime?

"They ROUND him UP" takes the ceiling of V
Very clever!

Well, the completely drained are non-prime initially and the slime-lined number are prime initially.

The slime lines separate digits that individually can be made non-prime or 1. So digits of 3, 5, and 7 of any make-up that are not non-prime survive.

Answer 1 : Just lock your doors and windows and stay inside
Answer 2: Confirm that you have green eyes to the vampire

Isn't 1 a prime??

A riddle I can actually solve

I love how the newscaster is a divided by sign, since all the news does these days is divide us.

Why is 461 not just split into 46/1.

NOT THE EQUASION PLAYGROUND. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

When they describe the problem in these Ted Ed puzzle series, I feel like I am solving a hackerrank problem. Once I was waiting to hear the expected input and output 😅

11,13,15,17: Sobbing in the corner of the room.

I did this riddle on my own!
1. I noticed only the primes didn’t get drained, but nonprimes did.
Ans: Primes werent drained, while Nonprimes were.

2. I need to find the next 4 numbers that do not have any nonprime digits, and are themselves, prime. This is 37, (3 / 7, both prime)
We can eliminate every number with a nonprime as any of their digits, so every 40, 60, 80, and 90, and on, are weak. 3 digit numbers can be slimed in 3 different ways, one of which may be a nonprime, prime, prime, nonprime, nonprime, prime, nonprime, nonprime, nonprime, nonprime, nonprime, or a nonprime, prime. (Ex: 133. It’s a prime. 13 / 3 is immune, but both 1 / 33 and 1 / 3 / 3 isnt.)
57 is our next one. ( 5 / 7 doesn’t work, 57 doesn’t either.) Then comes 73, but now what? We couldn’t of done 71, as 1 isn’t prime, nor could we of done 75 (nonprime), 77 (nonprime), or 79 (prime, but 7 / 9 leaves 9 weak.) It seems we’re at a dead end. Any number in the 80’s and 90’s is not immune, due to their second digits…. That’s when I realized I forgot 53. (Prime, 5 / 3 safe.)

(TL;DR) basically numbers with a nonprime in any digit aren’t safe, nor with any slime combos that leave a nonprime.
that leaves 37, 53, 57, and 73, all with prime digits, and prime themselves.
Ans: 37, 53, 57 and 73.
(Wrong, 57 has 19 and 3 turns out my 3 digit = bad explanation was wrong 😭. anyways I haven’t gotten to three yet so I say 373 instead of 57, and turns out 4 digits are bad, not 3 lol)

The creepiest by far, so cool!

The Two character are Pie and The most famous irrational numbers

They round them up lol

2 could also use his powers to defeat the vampire.
