Overanalyzing the Three Children Riddle

I spent too many hours on this and got "sunk cost"-ed into posting it. Credit: Kenadians Video:    • Ted Ed videos be like...   Notes: Time stamp — Name / Description 0:02 — seawatt gaming reference. 0:06 — reconizable ted intro “you find yourself” 0:07 — ego valde bonae cogitationis: I am very good at thinking 0:09 — classic three doors question maybe "The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever" 0:21 — Monty hall problem 0:36 — Three gods problem 0:37 — Technically whenever anyone answers a question the dice is supposed to shuffle their truth roles. The die hasn't been roled for some reason, but if 2 or 3 rolled it, they would gain omniscience. 0:40 — Each child is blind for no reason actually but This will come up multiple times 1:00 — This is a symmetry of the triangle group. This mandatory rotation will be important later. Also barrel role is a starfox reference. 1:04 — This is not true bc the children are blind Missing Timestamp — The background music is a string instrument not a flute 1:08 — Amartya Sen's flute story 1:38 — the question “answer in 3 seconds”. Missing Timestamp — What if I do know morse code Missing Timestamp — All of the children are perfectly rational, not just C1-a 2:03 — monty hall problem Missing Timestamp — Child 3 was telling the truth earlier 2:10 — Child 2 ran away, so you can just take the crystal now. 2:20 — Hilberts paradox / the infinite hotel Missing Timestamp — C4 is not "rational" but somehow has an impossibly high iq 2:29 — Roko’s basilisk 2:49 — Topology cows 2:58 — Could be a ted video reference, fighter pilots 3:05 — unexpected hanging 3:16 — sleeping beauty problem 3:29 — continuation of the pilots video probably 3:37 — They are somehow still blind during all of this—while wearing vr goggles 3:39 — flawed prisoners dilemma 4:08 — buried treasure riddle and vaush’s coconut island hypothetical 4:16 — thale’s theorem but wrong bc sphere 4:27 — pythagorean theorem 4:33 — Possible halting oracle Paradoxical truth telling 4:42 — Impossible because of the Halting problem, Godels incompleteness and Quantum limits 4:44 — escape the matrix 4:45 — quantum superposition, Schrodinger’s cat 4:50 — Because Child 3 is blind ofc. "3s trick" doesn't work here. 4:52 — Badly drawn tardis 4:53 — Grandfather paradox 5:01 — some goofy quantum physics (he would have been observed) 5:14 — wtf is hapenning 5:22 — theseus’s ship / teletransporter 5:36 — tiktok reference 5:44 — This calculation is incorrect. $2^{99} \approx 6.3 \times 10^{29}$ = 630 octillion 5:45 — every one gets 2 octillion flutes. except, technically, there are infinite children because of hilberts hotel 5:54 — complete nonsense, vaguely based in the prisoner's box riddle and the inheritance riddle. 6:05 — popular Quant problem and Ted ed’s locker riddle. Musicians riddle 6:14 — As you watch the video, you actually go into a super position of understanding and not understanding the problem 6:20 — Ted ed’s green eyed prisoners riddle / Randal munroe / musician box riddle 6:20 — Hats in a line riddle 6:34 — A black universe calls another racist. A typo "…are one!" 6:36 — riemann hypothesis. Child 3 can actually do this using omniscience bc the reimann hypothesis is solveable. 6:41 — This is an intra channel reference that I cant source easily. I search the transcript of every prison video on Ivory's channel and still haven't found the source. 6:42 — why is it called an oven 6:45 — ant on a rubber band / achilles and the tortoise 6:53 — This number is incorrect. It will take exactly $100(e^{0.1}-1)$ seconds or 22026 steps. He would have to be spending 2 septillion years in each universe for this time to be correct. 6:53 — Trolley problem. Trolleys typically have 4 wheels, but here he has depicted 8. also apparently child 1 is still blind. Unless timeskip changed them 7:03 — Im not sure why the children can only respond in binary yes/no 7:07 — because there is one crystal per universe, if the multiverse continued expanding at the 10 universes per time step rate, there would not be enough crystals for every child in the multiverse by time step infinity 7:08 — Possibly related to The Cliff or The Stickworld series 7:21 — Child 1 is ofc perfectly rational, but he is still blind. Consciousness Causes Collapse Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics / 7:35 — Ted’s superior intelligence 7:42 — lost track of child 3c, oh no how did that happen. 3c was selling porkchops on the side of the street. Also she may have witnessed the death of child 2c's gandfather
