I think the commentary on this video is strange.
Because in the experiments 1 to 4, I talked on the premise that being sure the button malfunctions.
In 5. 6, we talk on the premise that a larger malfunction (reactor leak and oxygen explosion) will occur probabilistically with respect to the initial malfunction that occurred.
If you were to talk about the relationship between buttons and malfunctions probabilistically
There is a possibility that all phenomena will occur with all buttons, so it becomes I do not know which button to press
In other words, I think the correct answer is no solution or cannot determine which button is good.
In the end, I could give multiple answers because it was ambiguous whether the oxygen explosion and the reactor leak were caused by defective fuel gauges, helium gas, and hydrometer, or by the button switch causing these minor defects. think

Wait, if a single cause can lead to multiple effects, technically the gravitometer spinning could also lead to the ignition exploding and the oxygen depleting and the reactor leaking. But then the mechanism is consistent, and any particular cause will lead to the same effect (singular, so im assuming that a single cause can only lead to 1 effect.
Even so, we can't rule out the gravitometer spinning as a cause at all as it could be the reason for the ignition exploding OR the oxygen depleting OR the reactor leaking, but no more than 1 of these. If the gravitometer spinning occurs, it could be the reason for the ignition exploding, then the oxygen levels depleting would be caused by the helium tank rattling, and the fuel gauge glowing would cause the reactor to leak.
I'm just a 14 yr old, so I'm probably wrong, but could someone explain to me where im getting it wrong? Thanks

I got it correct on my first try. LET'S GO BOIS!
How I got my answer:
FGG = Fuel Gauge Glow
HTR = Helium Tank Rattle
GS = Gravitometer Spins
OLD = Oxygen Level Depletes
IE = Ignition Explodes
RL = Reactor Leaking
Deductions:
HTR causes GS, OLD, IE, and FGG causes GS and RL, so HTR and FGG must be stopped
GS doesn't seem to cause much damage so it's fine
C and B both cause consistently cause FGG
A constantly causes HTR
D doesn't consistently cause anything so it's fine
E causes GS which is fine
Answer:
A off
B off
C off
D on
E on

Alternative ending:
Guy: does math Hmm thruster A is out.
Guy: makes up a more creative way
Guy: BOMB DA A THRUSTER!
Servant: ok bombs thruster A
Guy: hmm thrusters b and c are out?
BOMB DA B & C THRUSTERS!
Servant: ok bombs thruster b and c
Guy: good. lemme activate the d and e thrusters.
Guy: WHY ISNT IT WORKING?
Servant: I blew up part of the D and E thrusters lol
Guy: But we are already off the cliff of the ravi

I have worked out what A-E does, but the tricky part is how gravity does not cause either ignition or leakage in the reactor. I thought of it the other way round, that both helium AND gravity have to be present to cause the ignition, and that fuel warning AND gravity cause the reactor to explode, so I chose to press everything except E.

You know, there would be a lot less comments pointing out the unlikeliness of the setup if you thought of a situation that would realistically give you enough time to think it through. Also, if somebody could do the math to see if the shortcut would realistically be enough to win with the speed the cars are moving at, I'd love that.

mans inventions were a self cleaning toilet, self cleaning vacuum, snow speedos, noodle pen, portable cloud, rocking chair( chair with a guitar and speakers attached to it, hatbrella, x ray t-shirt, rocket rollers and eye smileys. tbh there wasn't much riding on you winning the race

just minor things like the ignition exploding, the reactor leaking, or the. oxygen level depleting, any of which would end your racing career immediately also possibly ending your life immediately but you know, that racing career is more important.

In the example: Q and R are said to do the same thing but cancel each other out and so do not produce an effect. In the solution, B and C are said to do the same thing - but do not cancel each other out and end up producing an effect. Why?

Psst! Don't forget that rule #2 applies to ALL causes and effects. And to clear up any ambiguity, the fuel gauge glowing, the gravitometer spinning, and the helium tank rattling count as both causes and effects.
