How human intuition can be wrong:
Dec 1st, 2023 at 9:33pm
 

Answer the question before watching the video.

It seems easy.

This video explains it.

I didn't believe the answer was 3 - Thought that was obvious.

The answer is 4. that isn't obvious.

But it's 3 if you roll the circle along a straight line    Smiley

but not around a circle!

If you work out the circumference of both circles you get 3. This is because the error is that the effective radius of the outer circle is radius 1 plus radius 2.  i.e if the small circle radius is 2 then the second is 6. these numbers give the result of 3.

The distance between the centre point and the centre of the outer circle is 8.  R1 + R2

Formula 2 X R X Pi

It seems crazy.

If you make the 2 circles it rotates 4 times. once per quarter.

Our intuition was wrong.
That is why all engineering designs have to be tested as
they are based on assumptions that sound perfect but could be wrong.

But it's well explained in the video -
you always have to add 1 to the result because the circle causes an extra rotation.
That accounts for sidereal time on Earth being one extra day per year  i.e
not 365.25 days but 366.25 days per year.  (approx)

The examiners got it wrong probably because they are not mechanical engineers. If they are, I wouldn't trust anything they'd design or make

My intuition told me straight away that radii shouldn't be taken into consideration, that only the curved surfaces should be considered to solve the question

However, I would have used those radii while quickly tearing out two paper circles to run the small one around the large one, to get the answer that way

The reason why the straight ribbon didn't work, is because it wasn't curved, obviously. The small circle travels a greater distance on a curved line than on a straight line

That's why the rack & pinion steering in a car is higher geared than two circular gears that have the same number of teeth, something I wish Kia had thought about when they designed the steering in my Cerato, it's way too high geared, it needs a smaller pinion

It shows are bad human thinking can be and
why everything needs to be checked.
Even teams of university professors can make appalling errors.

The answer is 3 if you roll the circle along a straight line -
but not around a circle! - then it's 4.

That's correct

When you are driving your car and cut a corner, you will get around that corner quicker than the car behind that didn't cut the corner but is traveling at the same speed

Do you get it now?

I understand it now.
The fact that you are rotating around a circle causes the extra 1 to be added to the answer.
You can see it with 2 identical coins as shown in the video.

BuyArse2012 has been going in circles and cutting corners all his life.

His last revolution brought him to a place where he was captured in Bobby's orbit. Bullsh!t is more powerful than gravity in Bobbyworld.

He is now bleating that his communication provider cut him off using the moron exclusion clause.

True.

Great find Bobby.

I'm too Politically (Language) minded to be Mathematical (it's competitor on an equal platform).

I did go for my 'intuitive' aspect straight away, rather than thinking about it mathematically and both 3 & 9 seemed to cancel each other out. Bowling middle-stump at 6 also didn't 'obviously' seem right either.
So I left it at that and clicked on the clip to find out where I went wrong or right??

Personally, I would have taken legal action against the Education Board for Mental Abuse!  Angry Cheesy

It took the intuition of three students though, to speak up where hundreds of thousands 'failed' to notice what truly was at hand.

This is the hardest part of maths (or science/engineering) - trying to model a real problem as a mathematical one. At school we are taught to solve equations, but not to create them. We are taught to solve an equation, then spoon fed a problem to match it.

Or, you could just visualise it. Or draw it out.

You look at the locus of the centre of Circle A and the answer is obvious—the centre of circle A describes a circle around circle B. Radius of this circle is 3 + 1.

Listen poof -

when you move the first circle around the 2nd circle it automatically makes a rotation
as it rolls around - not just moves around.
that's what adds the extra rotation.   Roll Eyes

That is what I said you blithering booby! The centre of Circle A moves in a locus that is a circle with a radius the sum of radiusA + radiusB.

If you knew any math you would know I am right.

Only 3 students got it right out of perhaps 1 million who took the test -
they informed the University that the exam answers were all wrong.

It was a locus problem as I saw immediately. The radius was obvious.

It was a locus problem as I saw immediately. The radius was obvious.

Agree, high school dropout?



You're a bullshit artist Monk -
human intuition said the answer was 3 -
even the University professors were fooled.

I never thought the answer was three. I saw it was a locus problem and worked out the locus. You see, I am not stupid unlike you, HS dropout.

Monk,
you're a compulsive liar - you chose 3.

Monk is brighter than a team of university professors -

only 3 people in 1 million got it right.   Roll Eyes

Started a poll:

Does anyone believe that Monk knew the correct answer?

Everyone knows Monk is a habitual liar who blathers without a care in the hope someone will give him the attention he craves.
Monk hounds Bobby the most, because he knows Bobby will always 'forgive him'. He calls Bobby his favourite 'sucka'.

Poll is senseless—too few people here. An opinion poll is no way to answer a mathematical problem.

As a Christian I have to forgive Monk all the time - and that is hard to do.   Embarrassed

Well you're a 'sucka' for being so then.
Being a Christian makes you an exploitable commodity for Monk to enjoy.
Would you forgive him, as a 'Christian' if he stole all your money, bum-raped you, slept with your wife and daughters and made you his attention-slave?

Don’t worry, Booby is no christian and gives fake forgiveness instead of apologies.
