Can you solve the human cannonball riddle? - Alex Rosenthal They call you the human cannonball. Your act involves flying through rings of fire, bouncing through a trampoline course, and catching the trapezist in the grand finale. Today s pre-flight test fails dramatically, and upon inspection, your cannon has clearly been sabotaged. Unfortunately, it s too late to abort the launch. Can you fix it in time to catch the trapezist? Alex Rosenthal shows how. Inkyminkyzizwoz: I worked out straight away that it had to be a multiple of 3 from 24 to 36 inclusive. I also managed to work out a way of arranging 30 cells that would work, but I couldn't figure out arrangements for 27 OR 33, so I wasn't sure which was cirrect

The clown did it you can see from the start that the bottle he has in his pocket was used as seen by the flower being covered in liquid then at the end we see where that liquid went near the lion tamers feet
Now tell me why is it used before the show started and how did he get the liquid over their when he is on the other side of the stage
Unless he had moved from his spot and also I'm pretty sure the battery's contained some type of helium and when we see the clown again we see him holding a heart shaped balloon filled with you guess it helium and its in a shape of a heart
So in conclusion I think the clown sabotage the show so the trapezius will notice him holding the balloon or the clown was jealous of the human cannon because the trapezius and him are clearly in love
So if he kills the human cannon he will be able to get the trapezius attention
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

The ringmaster have an invoice in the pocket with the name of the company that brought the energy cells, therefore he KNEW how many cells were supposed to be brought and how the builder did for the cannon to work, so for him it was easy to sabotage it.
But it was indeed the Tamer that did the act, as in 0: 43 is possible to see one of his missing shoulder things in the machine.
Also, the Clown knew about it but tried to stop the Tamer; his flower release a yellow liquid and there's a small puddle to yellow liquid close to the Tamer's feet at 4: 47.
This is downright an Ace Attorney case lol

I managed to solve this without working out basically any of the clues. I just made a spreadsheet with 16 cells for the boxes and set it up to calculate the totals for left, right, top, bottom, upper, lower, and overall, then entered numbers between 1 and 3 and moved them around until I got a solution (the 30-battery solution. Then I knew the other solution had to be either 27 or 33, so I moved the numbers some more until i found it.

I was actually able to find the configuration for 30 first, knowing that it had to be a minimum of 24 cells, and then playing with values in corners vs sides. The 30 config works as (top to bottom, left to right) 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2 on the bottom and 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2 on the top, though I'm sure there are other variations. The 27 config escaped me though so seeing that solution was useful.

The Saboteur is not the Ringmaster because he already has sold enough tickets and is Practically Rich with that Box he is Holding
The Clown would not wish to kill the one he loves considering that he is still waiting with gifts for the Trapeze Artist
That just leaves the Tamer and we can see him visibly frustrated at our success, both as the first act and for solving his Sabotage

I think 30 works as well, cos if you have 20 on the upper level with 4 corners of 3, 2, 3, 2 with the and middle blocks of 3, 2, 3, 2, so that their are 2 sides of 8 and 2 sides of 7, then on the bottom level you have all 1s except two 2s of the middle block of the sides of 7, it should work
reply

22 then since top is double of bottom the total should be divisible by 3
4 cells left after getting 22
Four cells could have sum from 4 to 12
Adding
22+4< our no< 22+12
26< our no< 34
Divid by 3
27, 30, 30
Could bit be 27 as n-3 also works
Thus between 30&33

I think it might be the clown. Part of the lion tamer s uniform is on the cells but you can see liquid from the clowns flower next to the tamer where the piece is missing. I think the clown did it and framed the lion tamer.
