some oranges get counted **twice**.
once in the column, once in the row - depending on whether or not there are 1 or 2 oranges in the ***corner*** boxes - you get 2-4 "extra" oranges to play with.

The corners count for perpendicular rows, the cardinals aren't. If they move an orange from the top right to the left then the right column loses one but the top row stays the same, the orange that moved was being counted twice for each side but now it only counts for the top.
It happens because you're counting corners twice in the overlapped areas.
Initially the corner squares contained two oranges, and the other squares only contained one.
By slowly shifting the oranges around such that the corner squares contain only one orange, their rows will still add up to six, but only if you add another orange into the non corner square b
[The corners are counted twice](https://i.imgur.com/WNuBYZ2.png). By moving oranges away from each corner, it reduced the impact of counting the corners twice by the exact amount added (from the center) to the areas that are not counted twice. The easiest way to destroy this is to simply take into account whether you've counted the corner already.
So it goes from 6\*4, to:
[Start](https://i.imgur.com/AErjMQC.png) |Bottom = 6, Right = 4, Top = 4, Left = 2, Center = 4, Total = 20
[Finish](https://i.imgur.com/J8p5Kou.png)|Bottom = 6, Right = 5, Top = 5, Left = 4, Center = 0, Total = 20
It’s the corners. The start is 8 in the corners counting them twice for the rows. At the end the corners add up to 4. It’s just where the doubles are at the end vs the beginning. Got me to watch it twice, but it’s not like that stupid 9 stones add 1 and it’s still 9 because one is edited into another. Good show.
>Can anyone explain what happened here?
Young boy did the math corecctly. That's all.
Just at first placement some corber oranges were count twice, because older guy said to count it like that.
You shift the density from around the corner (which are counted twice per row) to the middle bar (which is only counted once per row). Basic arithmetic and useful for some type of rpg puzzle to remember.
Every orange in the corner is counted twice, both horizontally and vertically. When you move them into the sides you need additional oranges because less of them are counted twice
when he moves one orange from each corner anticlockwise, each side loses one orange.
Let me illustrate with the bottom side.
: . . :
the row has 6 oranges.
. : . :
the orange from the left corner moved right, it's still in the side (still 6 oranges).
. : . .
the orange from the right corner moved up, it's no longer in the bottom side (5 oranges left).
If each of the 4 sides loses one orange, you can fill all of them back up to 6 by using 4 extra oranges from the middle square like so:
. : : .
The corners are used for two sides at a time and the middles make it work for only one side at a time. I’m case anyone actually managed to not figure it out.
I watched it like 5 times to get it. There is always 20 tangerines on the table. That never changes, but the way they are counted does. They get shifted around so that columns and rows intersection get counted twice (4 corners) to make it seem like there is 24 tangerines.
This isn’t that hard to understand.
At the beginning each corner has two and each of those is being counted twice
at the end each corner only has one so there are four less kumquats being counted twice.
On the first count, the kid counted all the squares in every direction. On the subsequent rounds, he didn't count one of the corner squares when counting the vertical sides, meaning he still totaled 6, but only counted 4 of the 5 squares.
lol, my nephew who goes to kindergarten would understand the 'trick'. The mandarians in the corners gets counted twice, and hes moving them to non-corner tiles where they are only counted once.
2 in the corners count toward both the row and the column. 2 in the middle only count toward the row or the column. The movements gradually move the center ones and the corner ones to the middle of each row/column. This causes the counts to stay the same as long as you only count rows and columns you select. If you counted each row and column you would see the inner rows and columns grew in number compared to the beginning.
This is called wall street redistribution of funds. The two side boxes get two extra oranges. The trick came from only asking single counts every time. If you count everything everytime nothing gets wierd.
If you count the oranges all together in the outside ring of boxes, it incrementally increases by one as oranges are moved from the center to the ring. 10, 11, 12, etc. But the GROUPINGS of oranges changes each time so that when you count down a side of the ring of boxes, it stays six oranges.
The ones he moved were shared between rows and columns, every row/column had 2 of their own mandarins and 4 shared, now they have 4 of their own and only 2 are shared.
Went from 4 panels of two to 8 panels of two, and redistribution means each side still count’s six with the corner panels still counted twice, except now they only need to count as one, instead of two.
In this arrangement, the corners may only accommodate 4 additional oranges while allowing only 6 oranges in each row/column. Whereas, placing the oranges on the center squares it will allow for 8 additional oranges while still fulfilling the 6 per row/column arrangement
All he does is changing the amount of mandarins that counted twice so more of them are in the "counted once" squares
then he can add more and the number stays the same all in all
He keeps removing one from a corner which counts twice (on two sides of six). You can only do this four times, hence he has only 4 mandarins in the middle.
If you move an orange out of a corner, you move it out of a horizontal row AND a vertical row. So two rows lose an orange. If you put an orange in a box that's not a corner box, only one row gains an orange.
At the beginning the outside corners had 2 and the inside sides had 1, they simply swapped places with the center 4 spreading out to fill the missing oranges, but this time the single oranges are being counted multiple times rather than the 2 oranges. (Probably a shit explanation)
Start all corners have 2 and middles are one. At end middle has 2 while corners have one. There are 4 corners but 8 middle, so the four from the center shift in those spaces when counted
Initially the outside corners or two were counted twice for each line. After moving them to the center the groups of two were now only counted once per line
It’s the corners.
Each corner had two being counted twice, and at the end each corner has one being counted twice. That leaves room for four more without breaking the pattern.
It’s all about the corners:
In the beginning each corner gives its number to two sides at once but it has two on each corner and two in the middle. At the end there is four in the middle of each side and one in each corner, the corners only giving one to each of the two sides then.
You actually have to have an extremely high IQ to understand the complexity involved in this confoundingly difficult puzzle. I figured it out though (I’m 7 btw)
bcuz instead of putting two ball in the corner (they will counted twice or two lines share the same two balls) you put two in the middle (every two lines will share one ball) brilliant
4 squares with 2 on perimeter to start.
8 squares with 2 on perimeter at end.
Extra 4 from middle kicked out of corners so they only get counted once not both ways
he shifted to corners to the center where they only get counted once, and the center pices to the outer center, where they also get counted once, the corners are the only things that get counted twice
I don’t see the problem here? If you move the one orange on each corner inwards then you’ve still got a line of 6 on 2 sides but a line of only 4 on the other two sides since the corner oranges are no longer being counted twice
He steadily moved double orange groups from the corners (where they were being counted twice—once for column, once for row) to the corners where they would only be counted once.
I know that actual black magic doesn’t exist. I don’t expect every post here to give me a full-blown existential crisis. But doesn’t an obvious trick meant to only fool a child fall below the threshold for posting on this sub?
How many are there
(Points at each row)
6
How abt the middle?
4
What if I move this here and move that there
6
Repeat 4 times
Now where’s the 4 in the middle?
some oranges get counted **twice**. once in the column, once in the row - depending on whether or not there are 1 or 2 oranges in the ***corner*** boxes - you get 2-4 "extra" oranges to play with.

Corner oranges are counted twice, once for each row they touch.
Thank you. This was the simplest explanation for my smooth brain to understand.
How the fuck is this black magic fuckery?
All magic is just a lack of understanding.
A lot of people are very bad at basic mathematics apparently.

Cool riddle for 2-3rd graders
It defeated me. Im 50 :(

It's called "simple math"
Corners are counted twice and sides are only counted once.
Watched maybe 5 seconds. I guess the kid won?

Got it but it's a bit hard to explain.
At first its due to overlapping then he put the other on middle ones to make even

Single boxes filled to double 🤗
When the edges count in two directions..
You shift the density from around the corner (which are counted twice per row) to the middle bar (which is only counted once per row). Basic arithmetic and useful for some type of rpg puzzle to remember.
20 little oranges get moved into different boxes
Every orange in the corner is counted twice, both horizontally and vertically. When you move them into the sides you need additional oranges because less of them are counted twice
They count them twice in the corners first

Please, help me understand
Shared oranges in some rows. Called this trick communistic oranges back in the day.
This is not magic, this is basic math for fucks sake
Motherfucker really doesn’t understand how the corners are counted at two sides????
Ever heard of matrix in math class? everybody who think this is magic clearly didnt pass highschool. Im concerned
Watch it slower? I don’t understand what is so confusing
This extremely simple if you think about it
you need an explanation?
Is this what gerrymandering is?
Original: 6 Left + 6 Right + 4 Middle + 4 Centre = 20 Oranges After Switch: 6 Left + 6 Right + 8 Middle + 0 Centre = 20 Oranges
why is this black magic?
Bruh, average homeschooled kid
Closed sets of numbers always do this shit
The corners are shared. He's moving the doubles out of the corners.
Corners count twice. Take 4 corners orange away and you can even add 4 more
It's a trick. To begin, You see every side has a total of 6 oranges, going from corner to corner. And 4 more in the middle.
When there are 2 in a corner square they are counted for both rows.
A tanga fanna turdy, a tanga fanna turdy
Is this a game? I wanna know the mechanic.
The corners are used for two sides at a time and the middles make it work for only one side at a time. I’m case anyone actually managed to not figure it out.
All I understood was, "Yugaaa!"
corners are worth double, you count them twice
I watched it like 5 times to get it. There is always 20 tangerines on the table. That never changes, but the way they are counted does. They get shifted around so that columns and rows intersection get counted twice (4 corners) to make it seem like there is 24 tangerines.
This isn’t that hard to understand. At the beginning each corner has two and each of those is being counted twice at the end each corner only has one so there are four less kumquats being counted twice.

The ones he moved were shared between rows and columns, every row/column had 2 of their own mandarins and 4 shared, now they have 4 of their own and only 2 are shared.
You don't know? Ah tayga fana tailee.
Corner get counted twice sudes get counted once
Went from 4 panels of two to 8 panels of two, and redistribution means each side still count’s six with the corner panels still counted twice, except now they only need to count as one, instead of two.
The corners had 2 each so are shared with other borders.
In this arrangement, the corners may only accommodate 4 additional oranges while allowing only 6 oranges in each row/column. Whereas, placing the oranges on the center squares it will allow for 8 additional oranges while still fulfilling the 6 per row/column arrangement
if u have 1 on each corner u have 1 less on each counting since originally they had 2 in the corners…so it’s pretty simple math 🧮
This is actually an interview for the kid to run the fruit stand, and he failed.
All he does is changing the amount of mandarins that counted twice so more of them are in the "counted once" squares then he can add more and the number stays the same all in all

He keeps removing one from a corner which counts twice (on two sides of six). You can only do this four times, hence he has only 4 mandarins in the middle.
If you move an orange out of a corner, you move it out of a horizontal row AND a vertical row. So two rows lose an orange. If you put an orange in a box that's not a corner box, only one row gains an orange.
At the beginning the outside corners had 2 and the inside sides had 1, they simply swapped places with the center 4 spreading out to fill the missing oranges, but this time the single oranges are being counted multiple times rather than the 2 oranges. (Probably a shit explanation)
Is this gerrymandering
Start all corners have 2 and middles are one. At end middle has 2 while corners have one. There are 4 corners but 8 middle, so the four from the center shift in those spaces when counted
I really don’t get the what?? It’s quite clear what happened.
Initially the outside corners or two were counted twice for each line. After moving them to the center the groups of two were now only counted once per line
This is how gerrymandering works.
It’s the corners. Each corner had two being counted twice, and at the end each corner has one being counted twice. That leaves room for four more without breaking the pattern.

When the oranges are on the corners they count towards 2 sides at once... makes perfect sense
Allocation of the fruit changed
There is 16 oranges, you can make it have 6 on each side with up to 20 oranges, he just move them around so it’s always 6 on each side
It’s all about the corners: In the beginning each corner gives its number to two sides at once but it has two on each corner and two in the middle. At the end there is four in the middle of each side and one in each corner, the corners only giving one to each of the two sides then.
