It's impossible to lose using this dice

It's impossible to lose using this dice

Mike Boyd

0:00 Snakes and Ladders the ultimate game of chance no strategy

0:05 no skill just a roll of the die there is

0:09 no way to get good at this game but here

0:12 I am obliterating my family game after game one again

0:17 for me would be good that's insane with near perfect

0:22 luck coupled with their unmitigated bad luck you know real

0:27 six here oh Absolut no yeah let's go sex one

0:33 2 3 what you do that this is how I became

0:39 the world's greatest Snakes and Ladders [Music] player Snakes

0:46 and Ladders is the perfect game to teach children all about

0:50 the unjust nature of life you might get a ladder

0:54 that allows you to skip a few steps and then bam

0:57 the 2008 credit crunch happens and all your job prospects

1:00 are shattered you work your way through a career that you

1:03 hate diligently and then bam mortgage rates triple looks like

1:07 another 5 years of renting for you pleb a that's

1:11 a bummer it's important to teach these kids the brutality

1:15 of this economy before the ages of five to toughen

1:18 them up so how can you gain an edge

1:21 in a game seemingly based purely on chance well the weakness has

1:26 to be in the die how can you make sure

1:29 your opponent gets bad rules that send them down the snakes

1:33 whilst also ensuring you get favorable rules up the ladders

1:37 let's see if we can make that [Music] happen [Music]

2:28 oh [Music] oh [Music] all right here is the dice

3:23 I give it a quick coat off lacquer just to make

3:26 it all gorgeous and it came out like really really

3:31 well and obviously it's magnetic so these little coin magnets

3:39 move it around and I can change its polarity all

3:43 right we have a loaded die with embedded magnets so if

3:47 you hold another magnet under the table you can roll

3:49 a one or a six every time depending on which end

3:53 of the magnet you use however it's actually impossible to win

3:56 the game that way since you would need to land

3:58 on 100 exactly and obviously your opponent will just roll

4:02 the same numbers as you we need to control what

4:06 we get and for that we need the magic of [Music]

4:28 electronics [Music] [Music] here's how all this works the four

4:55 electromagnets controlled by a switch and the ardino can change

4:58 their polarity when these are glued under the table I

5:02 can make the die roll a one or a six

5:04 on command see from the top of the desk underneath

5:07 the desk secrets are revealed here are four electromagnets using

5:14 these two numbers I can achieve a near perfect game in just

5:17 seven Rolls of the die likewise I can sabotage

5:21 my opponent by stalling them with constant ones or sending them

5:24 down snakes when a six or a one roll would

5:27 be bad for them so if you roll it just right

5:30 you can roll a six every [Music] time how about

5:35 a [Music] one oh did you see that sometimes it's

5:44 a little bit suspicious so there's another one that was

5:49 suspicious the magnets are even strong enough to change the result

5:53 post roll which is a little unnerving if you want

5:57 to be really sneaky you can actually just turn it off

6:01 and if someone rolls like a three or something you

6:03 can kind of coax it into being a six or you

6:07 can flip the switch and it becomes a one pretty

6:11 weird right before observing how people react to being crushed

6:16 at snakes and ladders a quick word from this week's

6:19 sponsor thorum thorum specializes in extremely

6:23 unique rings made from unconventional

6:25 materials I went for the Hercules ring made from tongen

6:29 and lignum Vite the hardest wood paired with the hardest

6:33 metal I think the contrast between the two materials just

6:36 really pops thorum makes a bunch of rings in unorthodox Styles

6:41 like this one made from a World War II gun

6:43 barrel it's nice to wear something that's just a little

6:46 bit more interesting than a standard plain band that men

6:50 usually wear these can make perfect wedding rings and they do

6:53 come in ladies versions and sets all rings come

6:57 with a lifetime warranty and incl include free shipping even internationally

7:02 I also got myself the meteorite watch which has an extremely

7:05 sleek and clean design with a tiny slice of real

7:08 gibian meteorite embedded in the face it's cool to own

7:12 something so modern looking that also contains a 4

7:15 and A2 billion year old piece of meteorite the watch is

7:18 also mechanical so no battery changes ever my viewers can get

7:23 20% off a truly unique piece with the code Mike

7:27 B so if you're planning on tying the kn or just

7:30 want a unique ring that contains an actual dinosaur bone
