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
7:33 check out thorum and thanks to thorum for sponsoring this week's
