So friends, today I decided to challenge
MIT students..
with one of the most difficult college entrance exam in the world.
"IIT-JEE Advanced!"
Do IIT, because it's tough
and by fighting tough Battles you'll get confidence in life.
Rules were pretty simple,
Rule #1_ Pick your favourite subject
from Physics, Chemistry or Math.
Rule #2_ Try to solve just one question
from the entire paper in just 5 mins.
If you get the right answer,
you win 100 dollars.
Otherwise 20 dollars,
because you just became a warrior, Not a loser.
Uh, we're going to building 1 that's 26...
and that's 56!
So Hi! Can you please introduce yourself?
Hi, I'm Ritika!
And my Major is Neuro Science and Computer Science.
Oh Awesome!
So, are you like good with Physics, Chemistry or Math?
What your favourite subject out of these?
Um, I would say Math but...
-Okay! -Okay...
So let's try Math!
So what you can do is, pick any 1 or 2 questions
-and you can try to solve any of these! -Is this the top one?
Yeah, this is top one!
And what year are you in?
I'm a sophomore.
And where did you go to school?
Um, Melbourne High School it's in Florida.
-Oh okay! -Oh nice...
So Florida Education vs IIT!
-Umm... -Let's see how this goes!
It was a Public school or private school?
It was a public school, huge public school.
Let's see how it goes then...
So these are suppose to be like fast mental questions
or just suppose to be work for them?
So these are like, you know three hour exam!
-Umm. -And there are like 75 problems.
So I think, an average will get 2-3 mins
for each problem, if you wanna solve all of them.
Ritika is really close,
She's able to pick one correct answer..
but the problem is there are multiple correct answers.
So that's the problem!
-Yeah... -So she doesn't know how many are correct?
Yeah, it would be all four, all three, all two
or just one!
Um so...
-Since I'm running out of time I... -Uh-Huh
think that A and B are true and I'm just gonna guess
it's C and D!
Um so...
I'm just say that it's...
A, B and...
It's just A and B.
-Woah... -Is she right?
Yeah!
-Oh My God! -You just won 100 dollars.
Congratulations!
-Thank you, Oh My God! -Yaay...
A and B were referring to something to do with
..the derivative of the question.
So, since these I've to solve in a different way
-I thought, I would get uh too faster -Uh-Huh.
So then I did the derivative and then um...
basically plugged in a negative value,
and then I knew, if it was negative it would be negative.
Yes!
So it would be decreasing if any positive value
-itshould be positive... -it should be positive! Yes.
So will be increasing and then...
These to be honest, um I didn't think that was the range
and I didn't think it was on to...
So instead of thinking about it much,
just like it's probably this this two!
Oh wow Awesome!
So there was really no reason behind that.
Awesome!
What's your name?
Hello, I'm Stefano!
-Stefano? -Yeah
-Nice to meet you! -What's your major?
Um my course 6-3!
Computer Science and Engineering.
Oh Awesome!
And what's your name?
Uh I'm Jimmy!
-Jimmy? Nice to meet you -Yeah.
I'm probably gonna be uh... 6-2 which is
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
Oh Awesome.
-Physics!! -Physics? sure...
Any one question.
So this are like basically 11th and 12th
grade level of problems for us.
Hmm
And where are you all from?
I... I was born in Venezuela!
Venezuela..
And, I used to live in Miami after 3 years back and
I came to Boston.
-Awesome! -Yeah.
What about you?
Uh I'm from El Salvador!
-Sorry? -El Salvador!!
I see. Awesome.
Uh central America!
Replacement means?
Replacement is like...
-You know, so.. -So can we repeat?
No, replacement for example
I replace 1 with 2 so, I delete 1
and put 2 instead.
So if it's 1, 2, 3
and I replace 2 with 3 it will become 1 3 3
This is replacement okay?
-Okay... -Yeah
This is question no. 11!
So the answer is B and D.
Sorry yeah!
So you have to choose, which answer is wrong or correct.
So you have to choose which is correct!
So you choose B and D as false
..so you didn't get it right
-Soory! -Oh it's okay.
But you'll still get 20 dollars for participation.
So what about you?
-You can guess, if you want at this time. -4!
17!
17 and the answer is 4...
Okay! You won 100 dollars.
-Oh My God! -Many many congratulations.
Yaay...
Thanks so much.
Uh it was kind of hard!
Oh!
-But you got it right so fast in 5 minutes. -Yeah.
That's Awesome.
Oh yeah!
It's because I choose the one that I know how to do...
Awesome! What did you feel about the paper!
Uh, it was quite challenging!
-Okay -And Physics is a little hard..
-But it was really interesting actually -Yeah.
So now, we have Chirag with the challenge as well.
Hey!
So finally now, you get to pick Physics, Chemistry or Math.
So this is the Physics...
First of all, would you like to introduce yourself?
Oh, I'm Megan!
I'm a sophomore at MIT.
um course 10, Chemical Engineering.
Chemical Engineering, Awesome!
-Yeah so this is Math. -Um-Hmm.
So and this...
First you've to choose the subject!
What's your favourite subject?
She wants to look at the questions..
Okay all of them!
Okay sure sure.
Chemistry!
Actually don't bother, with the physics one
I'll just look at Math and chemistry.
Okay.
Yeah Hi, My name is Ricky!
I'm also a sophomore.
I'm also doing Chemical Engineering Course 10.
-So Yeah. -Awesome
So what's your favourite subject?
In terms of Physics, Chemistry or Math?
I think, I'm not too sure so
-but... -Sure you can look to!
It's been so long since I've done this!
Oh wow.
-It's not like crazy totally out there -Oh yeah...
-No no! -And where did you go to...
-Like are you from the US? -Yeah.
And so, like did you go to the public or private school?
Um, I was Home schooled
but I also did lot of my classes at Community College.
Oh okay cool.
Oh wow Awesome.
And what about you?
-Uh were you educated here in US? -Where are you from?
Oh yeah I was...
I went to Public school in California.
So like in the US.
Yeah I've done this like for 3 years.
So that's why it's an exiting moment for me!
We both have done for, we've solved these paper for 3 years.
-Oh...I see. -Yeah.
We prepared to solve this papers for..
like, just these papers for three years.
-That's brutal! -Yeah.
So once you start holding the paper,
then the 5 minute timer will start.
You've solved it?
I think so!
Oh wow okay.
Without any writing, you just solved it?
I think so...
This is Awesome.
Okay, so what do you think about it?
Do you remember?
I have to read, wait this is 2021!
Yeah 2021, so it's not the same paper you gave.
Okay so...
I can pull off the answer sheet.
I'm... guessing right now!
-Oh wow! -It's too long since I...
Okay..
Yeah it's been 2 years I...
I feel you.
I might have a different answer than...
You've a different answer?
-Okay.. -Let me look at it one more time!!
-No no...That's not fair. -No no, you already circled
-That's not fair! -That's not fair... Sorry
-Okay -Yeah yeah.
What did you?
So what do you think?
I would say B, because
I'm guessing there might be hydration bonding here
but I...
I don't exactly remember!
Oh My God!
-Ooh wow! -Oouh it's spicy.
So the right answer is B!
-You're right even after.. -Wow!
eventhough it's been 2 years you solved the paper.
So Sorry!
-But you'll still get 20 dollars for participation. -Okay!
Thank you.
-Oh there's like by steric hindrance -I choose this one!
-the answer might be there! -Yeah.
But like again, JEE is a paper of exception
so like, because of Hydrogen Bonding the answer is B...
Because like Hydrogen Bond,
-Exception! -Yeah, this is an exception.
-IIT-JEE is the paper of exception. -Totally!
-No negative answers here. -Yeah.
Yeah.
-Okay your turn! -This was just Physics right?
This is just Physics.
Oh then, that's Chemistry and then Maths is...
Do question 17. I think that one's reasonable.
Well, okay, thank you.
-Uh no... -Never mind sorry.
Wait okay, isobaric...
No hint, don't say!
No no, you shouldn't help him sorry!
-Yeah yeah. -So sorry!
This is such a long time... I have--
I haven't touched chemistry for...
Yeah right after I gave the exam.
Yeah... I feel you!
Ricky has the answer for this question
which he choose as B.
Let's check the answer, okay so do you wanna solve?
Don't tell me the answer, can I think for 1 second?
-You can think! -I just want...
Okay, do you have the answer as well?
Yeah I've the answer!
Oh wow, in your mind?
-Okay so... -I mean there's like
this doesn't require calculation so...
-Did you choose that answer? -He choose B, what about you?
It's private!
Okay...
-Okay, -I mean it's C!
-Is it C? -C!
Sorry it's C!
I'm sorry, but you'll still get 20 dollars for participation.
Specific!
It won't heard.
Oh you've done that!
-Oh you've done that in class. -I'm sorry!
No no, you were close.
So first of all, would you like to introduce yourself?
Hi, I'm Tom.
Uh-Huh and what's your Major?
I'm in Neuroscience.
Neuroscience? Oh Awesome.
So out of Physics, Chemistry, Math what's your favourite subject?
Oh Math...
Math! Awesome...
So let me give you the Math paper!
So this is physics,
...these are answer sheets.
And this is Math okay!
So here you go, you can pick any one question of these
Uh-Hmm.
Calculas or any question in particular!
And you'll have 5 minutes once you pick a question.
Yeah any individual question!
By 7.33 and yeah...
-They are Real numbers! -Yes real numbers.
It's a numerical value...
-Just answer the numerical value -Okay yeah yeah.
Wait, it's a range of real numbers!
Yeah I mean like...
the answer is a real number but like
-if you give close enough they accept it. -Yeah it's a range.
Any integer number is also fine!
Any range is also fine!
Uhh...
-Yeah we get a range.. -Yeah.
Such a stupid number.
-You've an answer in mind? -Yeah!
Oh Awesome.
It's been a long time since I've done this.
1 minute left.
-Oh oh okay yeah. -You have a minute!
I didn't see the obvious but yeah that's 1.
Yeah.
So...
-Yeah 1. -1!
So I didn't see the obvious thing!
-1? -Yeah.
-Is 1 the answer? Oh wow that's the right answer.
Yeah, so congratulations you won 100 dollars.
Oh left!
Okay Congratulations!
Thank you.
So what do you think about the paper after going through it?
After going, I mean..
Math paper!
On the top of my head, I could not solve them like
quickly just like that.
-Uh-Huh! -It definitely needs
a lot of preparation to say the least.
Oh yeah.
And for high school students do you think it's easy or..?
For American High school students or anywhere do you think?
I went to High School in Switzerland so...
I mean, if you include a bunch of or months of preparation.
It should be doable I think!
Doable Awesome.
