- (child) 768! (audience cheers)
- What?
- Uh uh, y'all making me do math?
- You know when you solve multiple sides,
but never the whole thing?
That's like my thing.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So we've asked you to eat in one second,
to swipe in one second, to work in one second,
and to guess in one second,
but today we're challenging you to solve puzzles in one second.
- Alright, bet, I'm good at puzzles.
- In one second? Okay, confident.
- Yikes, this is gonna go very poorly for me.
- Aw, I love puzzles!
I've actually been craving a good puzzle,
so I'm really excited for this.
- The only thing I don't like are Rubik's Cubes,
'cause I've never been able to solve one in my whole entire life.
- (FBE) Are you ready to see what your first
Solve in One Second problem is? - Yes, let's do it.
- You got to double it! - Oh, I see, 24.
- I love this show. - (child) 48.
- Uh uh, y'all making me do math? - (child) 192.
- Oh no!
- I don't even know the second one.
- (child) 768! (audience cheers)
- What?
- (laughs) Hell no. - (Steve) 1,536?
- (child) 3,072.
- That little prodigy.
If this is real, he's a little prodigy.
- (Steve) They tell me that you know how
to play the square game? - (child) Yes!
You just times it by itself. - Oh no, oh no!
- (Steve) What is 145 squared?
- (child) 21,025.
Okay.
- That's me on my [bleep] calculator.
- (Steve) Well you got it right, that's...
- What, how do you do that?
(claps) - Let's go!
I like that kid.
Who needs a calculator, when you have a five year old?
- There are some genius kids, I just don't know how,
like, a brain can be a calculator like that.
- (FBE) I'm gonna ask you to solve a simple multiplication problem
in one second or less. - Yes.
- (FBE) You only get one chance to answer,
so don't get it wrong! (Tom laughs)
There will be a total of 10 problems.
If you can solve all 10 in 10 seconds, you win the round.
- I'm not gonna be able to do that.
- So I have to do it all in my head?
Alright, F it, let's do it.
- Can I use a calculator?
Ooh, not gonna do good.
- (FBE) What is two times 10?
- 20. - 20.
- 20.
- (FBE) Nine times three?
- Two [bleep] skip.
- Uh, 21? (buzzer rings)
- 36? (buzzer rings)
- Uh, 27. - 27.
- 27. - 27.
- (FBE) 18 times two.
- Times two, crap, um, I already messed up,
that's past a second. That is 36.
- 36. - 18 times two, uh 36.
- (laughs) 36. - Uh, 36.
- 36. - Uh, 36?
- (FBE) 27 times three.
- Skip! - It's uh, 85.
- Oh [bleep]. 56, I don't even know dude.
- 27 times three. 81?
- (FBE) 11 squared.
- 11 times 11 is mmm.
- 11 squared, oh my God! That's the one I hate!
- 22? - 11 squared?
Everybody knows squared is like 121.
- Uh, 121. - 121.
- Um, 121? - (FBE) 13 times four.
- Pass. - Skip!
- Ah, [bleep] me, man. (laughs) I don't know.
- (laughs) 82? (buzzer rings)
- 52. - (FBE) 45 times nine.
- Skip! - Pass.
- A lot. - 45 times nine is uh, 11,000.
- Oh my God, this is so hard! What the...
45, I don't even know what 45 times two is.
- 45 times nine is, uh, 405. (bell rings)
- (FBE) 933 times two.
- Uh, skip.
- I didn't get the ones before, you think I'm gonna get that?
- 1,866. (bell rings)
- 1,800...
933, 66. - 1,866.
- 1,866. - (FBE) 19 squared!
- Oh skip. - Pass.
- It ends with an 8, right?
- 164. (buzzer rings)
- 22,000. (laughs) - 17109 I lost the number on that one.
560 something! (buzzer rings)
- (FBE) 193 times 18. - Skip!
- Well let me tell ya, it's up there.
- 22. - Oooooh!
I'm not gonna do good, 193 times 18.
Oh there's a four at the end. (laughs)
- 193 times 18? [bleep]!
Give me more than 10 seconds! I need more than 10 seconds!
Ah, I could do calculus though!
- (FBE) So Tom, you got about half of those right.
- There we go!
- (FBE) But it only took you 43 seconds to stop trying.
- It took me 43 seconds? (laughs)
Not only did you get most of them wrong,
you took way too long.
- (FBE) You got four right.
- Alright, I'll take it, that's way better
than I thought I was gonna do.
- Those squared ones were kicking my ass!
I was like "what?"
- It was really stressful.
I don't find math or numbers fun at all.
Like when I was in like first grade I needed a tutor
for simple multiplication.
- (FBE) Next, we are gonna test your problem solving skills
with some murder mystery brain teasers.
- I love murder mystery brain teasers!
- (FBE) Once you've completely read the puzzle,
you'll have exactly one second to give us the answer.
Sound do-able? - Yeah. (laughs)
Gonna have to think while I'm watching it.
- On the first day of the school year,
a geography teacher was murdered.
- The police had four suspects,
the gardener, the math teacher, the coach and the school principal.
They all alibis.
- The gardener was cutting bushes.
The math teacher was holding a mid-year test.
- The coach was playing basketball, and the principal was in his office.
The killer was arrested immediately.
- Who killed the geography teacher
and how did the police solve the mystery?
- Oh my God, oh my God, okay.
I'ma go with none of the above.
- Uh, the math teacher killed him.
- (FBE) How do you know?
- Mid-year test? It's the first day of school.
- It was the math teacher because it was a mid-year test.
- The math teacher. - It was the math teacher.
(buzzer rings) - The math teacher?
There are no miderms.
- Oh, there are no midterms on the first day of school baby!
(bell rings) - I actually got it right!
Cool! - I did it!
There are no midterms on the first day of school!
- That was less than a second.
I finished it, it was like boom. Instantly!
- A man murders his wife in their car, using a knife.
Nobody is around to see this, and he is careful
not to leave any evidence.
- He throws her body out of the car, and throws the knife into a gorge
where it will never be found and drives home.
- An hour later he receives a call from the police
saying his wife has been murdered
and asking him to come to the crime scene.
- When he arrives at the scene, they immediately arrest him.
How did the police know he had murdered his wife?
- Pretty sure that's a key detail, drives home.
Man murders his wife in their car, using a knife.
He drove in the same car there. That's it, there we go.
- They found the knife somehow?
- It's probably something simple like the last one,
so one hour later, he recieves a phone call
saying his wife has been murdered.
Oh, it's probably because they didn't tell him
where the crime scene was?
- He showed up to the crime scene, how would they know?
They didn't tell him where to go, he showed up there.
- The police didn't tell him where to go.
The police didn't tell him where the crime scene was.
(buzzer rings) - Oh!
Damn, I was focusing on the first part.
(buzzer rings) - Ah, smart one.
I overthought this one.
- The cops never told him where the crime scene was!
You see, you see, alright. Like I said.
What does this say about me? It says I can learn.
- Ooh! I'm getting pumped!
See, I'm getting redeemed after all that math.
- A detective arrives at a crime scene.
The victim is dead on the floor with a bullet hole in his head.
- He has a gun in one hand and a cassette recorder in the other.
On pressing the play button, the detective hears the message
"I have committed sins in my life
and now I offer my soul to the great Lord."
- Followed by a gunshot.
The detective smiles and informs the police that it's a murder.
How does he know that?
What?
- I don't know this one. Damn.
- If it's a recorder, you can't press play,
you can only record, right? No, you have to be able to press play.
Ugh!
- He couldn't have pressed play and held the gun to his head
at the same time. - Think I almost got it.
I feel like the victim couldn't have pressed play
and shot himself at the same time?
Or something like that.
- It's because somebody had to have stopped the recording,
and if he was dead, he couldn't have done it himself.
(buzzer rings) - A dead man can't rewind a tape?
- Oh, well that's just lame. (laughs) That's lame.
So I forgot how a VHS works, so I couldn't solve this crime?
- A dead man can't rewind a tape! Does that count?
- (FBE) Yeah. - Okay, cool.
- A dead man can't rewind a tape. Oh I was close.
- (FBE) Yeah, same thing. - Yeah.
- (FBE) I'm gonna count it.
- Okay, that one was a little bit harder.
I feel like the first two, I was like "oh, I got this!"
and then I was like yeah, that's why you don't get
too confident with yourself, bitch.
- (FBE) We're going on to round three, for your very final test.
Are you ready to see what it is?
- (sighs) I'm a little nervous, I'm a little nervous.
- I knew y'all were gonna give me a frickin' Rubik's Cube.
- He's not even doing it in a second!
That's way more than a second.
- I used to love Rubik's Cubes as a kid,
but I could never solve them.
That was pretty cool.
- Every time someone solves a Rubik's Cube, they're cheating,
'cause I just can't do it, so that means no one else can.
- I can actually solve a Rubik's Cube too.
- I definitely not gonna be able to solve that thing in two seconds.
Bring it out, and let me embarrass myself.
- (FBE) Fun fact, that video isn't even showing the fastest solve.
The current world record holder for a Rubik's Cube solve
is 3.47 seconds. - Oh my gosh.
That's almost as fast as me.
- (FBE) But now that you've seen
just how fast a Rubik's Cube can be solved,
do you think you're up to the challenge?
- We're gonna be here all day.
- I'm up to the challenge.
Not very confident.
- Thank you.
- (FBE) Alright, and your time starts now!
- Okay, so I know you're supposed to match the corners or something.
(cube clicks)
- Done.
- I don't even know what to go for.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to make
like an X or something.
- You have to get them all on one side,
but I don't know how to do that.
- A technique that I do if it's like only the first layer,
I put it on the orange side,
so that I can line up the middle parts.
- Oh, I gotta do it quick, or I'm running out of time.
- You know when you solve multiple sides,
but never the whole thing?
That's like my thing.
- Okay, I almost got one, I got one left.
One layer!
- Alright, this is where I start forgetting how to do it.
Got it kinda there, I just need this side.
That's always the part I forget!
Ah, how you do this?
- You're not gonna give me any hints or anything?
I don't get like any help with this?
You're just gonna leave, drop this in my lap
and be like "here."
- (FBE) We actually are gonna give you some help.
- Oh thank God!
- (FBE) We do have our own FBE Rubik's Cube expert.
Are you ready for them to come in and help you?
- Yes! - Is it Sid?
- (FBE) It is Sid! - Sid!
Sid is always doing Rubik's Cubes, man!
I knew it.
As soon as a Rubik's Cube came out, they're like "we have someone,"
I was like "it's Sid."
- This is like a Rubik's Cube champion.
- (Alyssa) I wouldn't say champion though. (laughs)
- Do you work here? - I do!
- I'm so excited!
- I learned this last year actually.
- Oh, you already got some of the green?
- Yeah. - Which side were you trying to solve?
- I don't... - You don't know?
- I was trying to solve the green, I think.
- So basically the way to do it is that the center point
is the one thing that can't change.
So you know that's the blue side, That's the red side.
- Mm-hmm.
- So basically, first you do, you make a cross,
so you connect those pieces right there.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm trying to follow. - Yeah.
- And I see it, but mmm, I don't know if I can.
I see it coming together.
- White is probably the easiest.
'Cause you can like, it's the brightest,
you can orient yourself, maybe yellow as well.
- This is so cool. - Oh, yeah it is.
- So I've got the white cross. - Whoa!
- Beautiful, yes, thank you, thank you.
And now I have to do the whole white top,
so I'm gonna line up the corners now. - This is so crazy!
- And so you do all four of them.
- So can I just hold it up after he solves it,
and be like "I did it, look!"
- We got blue, red, so we gotta do those real quick.
- Oh yeah, I'm just gonna... - We gotta do blue green.
- I gotta do yellow orange.
- I feel so dumb!
- Don't worry, I spent like five hours one day
when I was in sixth grade figuring out how to do this.
- You just gotta get them in the right place now.
- Exactly. - Damn, you know how to do that!
See it's so interesting!
- Just looking where things are, and then moving 'em,
and remembering the pattern.
- This is like a lot.
- This is actually my favorite part about solving a Rubik's Cube,
when you have all three colors in the line.
- Whoa, that is pretty badass. - And you can sort of like turn it.
- And then you drop it like that, like the kit, like it's on fire.
- Boom! - You almost got it.
- Then you just have this part.
- If you see where a thing needs to go,
you kinda have to just like move it and remember how to put,
oh! (laughs) Huh?
- It's comin', it's almost there, bam!
- Oh my goodness, that was so cool.
- Okay, there you go. - Did it!
- She did it! - Bingo, I did it guys!
- Bam, Rubik's Cube solved.
- (laughs) Yeah.
I wanna solve my life this fast.
- Let's see it.
- I did get the first layer on my own.
- I think he's actually gonna solve it.
I don't even think I need to be here for this.
- Yeah. - I feel like you're gonna do it.
Yeah, he's got the technique down. He's good.
Yeah boy! Alright.
- It's a talent. (laughs) - That's dope, yeah, it's fun.
- I feel a little better about trying doing it in the future.
Maybe I can do it in the future. If I spend five hours.
- Yeah, I was not born with this talent.
- It is kinda cool to be like "watch this, bitch."
Like this could be a total party trick.
I could fit this in my purse, I have a big ass purse.
They have tiny Rubik's Cubes, I can just carry that [bleep] around.
That can be my party trick.
- (FBE) You attempted to solve math problems, murder mystery riddles
and a Rubik's Cube as fast as you could.
How are you feeling?
- Pretty good, I mean, I solved the Rubik's Cube,
and now you gave me Sid's like unsolved one,
so I'm gonna have to do this in my free time,
but I had a really good time doing it.
- Feeling pretty solid about myself.
See, I knew it, I knew solving Rubik's Cube
would help me one day!
- If I could have a career in any of them,
it might be in detective work.
I don't know, I could be the next Joe Kenda.
- (FBE) Well this is the first time we've ever challenged
our reactors to solve in one second.
Is it something you'd want to try again?
- I'd be so down, yeah. - Oh, most definitely.
I'm a very competitive person.
- Oh my gosh, yes.
Even with the math!
You guys, I'm gonna go back and like go pull out my textbooks
from God knows when, and wipe all the dust off
and be like alright, we're doing this.
