Can you outsmart Fate and break her ancient curse? - Dan Finkel

I’m breaking the curse 100%

TIL the pronunciation of "tarot"

> Your father lost his soul 23 years ago
> You look like a child

Well, on my first try I didn't win any of the bonus prizes, but I did manage to escape. I picked, in order: 23, 9, 15, 21, 18, 22, 20, 16. At that point I was out of moves, but I won, 144-132. So, not bad for a first try.

I usually NEVER get any of these but i actually half way thru got this one right!! Finally!

I don't believe in a thing such as a soul, checkmate fate!

dunno if anyone else noticed this but fate has the most incredible nose ever

the wording leaves a perfect hole. the card's number just has to have a factor on the table when you pick it meaning that that card itself should count. just start from 1 and go up.

1,000th commenter here i think

JOKES ON YOU TEDWARD D. EDWARD, I DON'T WANT KIDS, AND MY TRUE LOVES AREN'T REAL, NOW YOU HAVE TO CONJURE UP FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS!

I am very proud to say, I solved the riddle and broke the curse. But would Fate allow a whiteboard, 3 colored markers and an hour of analyzing, right before the game starts?

Did I gt this right. You choose a card and fate chooses cards up to the number ob your card? If so you get all the cards easyly!

If the father died 23 years ago than u must be 23 years old at least because if he died how can u be born in the timespan but the animation shows him looking like a 10 year old kid so I’m confused

break the curse, since she could have changed his play after your first try

This is my solution (I didn't take the reward card):
I'll pick 23,18,12,16,15,20 22 and 21 in the exact order and Fate will have 1,3,6,4,8,3,10,11,7,9,13,14,17,19 which is a 147 to 125 win.

This riddle of fate seems to be more of a test of character. Get too greedy, and you automatically lose. You can only take 1 prize and win, and you have to give up the soul card to free the curse on your family. Meaning fate is testing your resolve to give up everything to clear the family curse. And in the story scenario, the family has already acquired fortune and fame prior to the story. So they let the camera stay because the next contestant wasn't likely to be tempted by love or greed and would likely try to break the curse, basically letting you win if you can withstand fate's test.

Wealth, love, or break the curse? I would choose to break the curse.

Me: Just don't let anyone enter the door, now no one dies, the tarot stays with the family, Fate can't do anything.

Always run into this exact situation

What if you start with one, and then collect all of the prime numbers after that? Would fate get any cards?

how the heck did fate go 23 years without noticing the camera?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure if it was turned into a riddle:

me: taking all the cards

Anyone else used MS excel for this problem?

id take the true love because you can just tell your family how to win and youre already rich

You know it would probably be easiest to just grab the cards in ascending order like 1 2 3 4 5 6 and so on this way you literally get all cards and win easily

My reactions when I see break the curse forever:
My opinion: GIMME THIS RN

If you just want to solve it and don't mind missing out on the perks, taking 23, 22, 21, 15, 8, 20, 12 and 18 also works.

I would definitely break the curse for good, naturally.

Breaking the curse is most obvious; your family in this already has wealth and true love, so picking the only even prime is most optimal.

we does braking the curse make the card stop working if not brake the curse if so get the riches

I completely misinterpreted the rules since it said that a card must have at least factor. I took that as the card itself counts as a factor, so for example is you have 13, and 1 is already off the table, you can use 13 as the last factor and claim it.

Breaking the curse is a bad option because now that you know how to win, every 23 years a family member can go in knowing the rules of the game and win unimaginable riches for the family or a true love

What if i bring back the deck to fate and he leaves me be?

They really just sent a child through a portal to get murdered

Eu fiz esse, primeiro sem a carta 2, e depois com a carta 2.

Stop supporting "Brilliant" - they are kind of "Dim"...

you never said that he cannot claim more than one reward.
you never said that faith has to have cards to take for each of his - just "on the table" could be interpreted as "has factor(s)".
he takes 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, and 22 for a total of 177,
faith takes 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, and 23 for a total of 99.
he wins AND claims all rewards.
(he 2, faith 1, he 4, faith none, he 6, faith 3, he 8, faith none, he 9, faith none, he 10, faith 5, he 12, faith none, he 14, faith 7, he 15, faith none, he 16, faith none, he 18, faith none, he 20, faith none, he 21, faith none, he 22, faith 11, he's done, faith takes the remaining cards: 13, 17, 19, and 23)

Blud casually putting the camera in his pocket
The logic is not logiking

Chat GPT is not great at this game:
"Here's the sequence of moves that will yield the highest possible score:
- Take the card 1.
- Your opponent will take all the remaining cards, and the game ends.
Taking the card 1 as your first move ensures that your opponent will be left with all the other cards, and you'll end up with the maximum score of 1."

What do you mean she "offers" you the 16 to begin with? Do you HAVE to take the 16?

I would win bc Fate would just give up explaining me the rules over and over again

I like how my father entered through the door 23 years ago, but I still look like a child even though I should be at least 22 😂

Why are all of this channel's "riddles" actually math problems? If I've gotta break my calculator out, it ain't a riddle.

it is 2023 and yall are still animating bad characters with giant noses? like this ain't even subtle cmon

Wait a second, why can't you just take the 1 on first go and take every card counting up by 1?
If you start with 1, then fate gets nothing.
Then with 2, fate also gets nothing as you already took 1.
Then with 3, fate gets nothing because you already took the 1 and so on and so on.

There was a game I used to play as a kid called The Secret Island of Dr.Quandry. It had a game in it that was basically this exact riddle, but amplified. Every other puzzle in the game I could figure out as a kid. I never understood the factorial game. Not when I was 5 anyway!

Either this boy's ancestors were bad at math or were extremely pressured by fate to make their moves quickly, thus leading to them not thinking and making bad moves.

I just realized that if anyone decided to break the rules by telling their family of the true way to exploit the curse then you'd inadvertently be telling them the rules of the game which marks the curse as invalid and gices the fate the ability to change the rules once the family knows about them, now here's the kicker! When you watched the video of your dad playing against fate abd fate didn't change the rules then either A. fate needs to catch on to your little trick for it to start changing the rules of the game or B. the laws of fate's curse holds no merit.

Option A still makes breaking the curse the best option, safest too! On the other side of the hand (you'll find out why I say it like this later) Option B. allows for you to take either one of the other two options and exploit fate. Now, you probably think you have to choose the safest option which is the 2 right? WRONG since we can assure that the only way for fate to realize that the game is rigged to your favor is for you to actively make her suspicious, to counter this we can sacrifice a few children every once in a while making once every random few generations a rich/loving generation with your family getting to keep the ability to tell other people's fate still in their pocket.

Now the main problem with this is that since your family has the cards your best option is still to get the 2 card since you already have immense wealth in being the world's best fortune tellers and you can tell if you're going to find true love anyways with fate's cards, you quite literally have no better option than to break the curse which makes all this slightly poetic in a way, the only way to outsmart fate is to play the game the exact opposite way fate wants you to do it causing you to be in a realm of your own illusion of choice between what you already have and what you don't. It's almost like Fate just wants to know if you took the cards because of mortal desires or because you were smart enough to best fate itself.
