OMG I WANT EASY QUESTIONS
in the first one you still only filled one bag
8:47 Children had 130 nuts; how many dicks they have?
Answer of 10th question is wrong
4 times the lesser part is equal to 3 TIMES the larger part
4x=3y
X+y=130
4(130-y)=3y is the equation
There is an error on #6
They put 121,111
Its meant to be 12,111
#2 1:16
Does this alternative answer also work ?
A have 4 plums and B have 0. If A gives B 2 plums they'll both have 2. If B gives A 2 plums by going into debts they'll have -2 plums and -2 x -2 = 4
So A will have twice as mush as B.
#1 u never said it had to be full 🤔 so both sacks can technically be half full
Very silly questions
It's very difficult
The 2nd Q.Ans.may be 5 and 7 1st

3:49–4:45 We have only 15 seconds for such a huge calculation. The step-by step equations have been calculated before the video was made. An average human cannot solve equations so fast. Like if you think the same.
You know those times when all you wanted to do was listen to Centuries by Fall Out Boy and then this is in your recommended.

they had algebra in the 18th century…and also fraction.??
the second one made no sense whatsoever

2:09 I don't see any sense of that equation! Do you Bright Side?
9) because his birthday is in feb 29
You need to learn the difference between a riddle and a math problem
Number 10 was solved completely wrong, it said 4 times the lesser was 3 times the greater not 4 times the lesser is a third the greater
7:25 I thought it was 5
#1 similar means same shape but different size. Yours shows congruent
