Today I'm going to attempt to beat the famous original IQ Tester. The point of this game is to eliminate the pegs one at a time until you are left with just one. Although many people will try and solve it randomly, I've challenged my self to figure out the pattern and memorize the solution... ENJOY!

The years of eating at Cracker Barrel have lead to this moment
I’m Dizzy same
lol I somehow figured out the pattern my first time at cracker barrel. Not a genius. I was like 17?
FOR REAL THOOOO
I finally beat it at Cracker Barrel two days ago
I thought it was just to make it look like it has all the pins in
does anyone else find the sound of the pegs hitting each other satisfying?
Ikr
Pure asmr, fell asleep five times
Yessss, I’m not even joking, I was thinking that and I found it unsatisfying when he put one of the pegs down slowly so it won’t j’y
Me
They are like bullet shells falling on the ground
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Leave hole 1 empty begin with jumping 4 to 2 6 to 4 1 to 6 7 to 2 13 to 4 10 to 8 2 to 7 7 to 9 15 to 13 14 to 12 6 to 13 14 to 12 And finally 11 to 13 But there are many more ways to work this game how many can you find
I left 6 empty but I basically made the similar moves
How the hell did you know that too cause i knew it too
Respect
You need to bring the ones on the side in the middle
Byron Vidad your IQ is blowing my mind🙃
Just leaving one peg technically isn't the real solution! The "hardest" solution is actually leaving 8 pegs remaining with no possible jumps. The second hardest solution is to leave one peg, *specifically in the hole you originally left empty*. Just leaving one peg on the board is considered the third hardest solution.
Try to leave 10 pegs
Couldn't you technically have 12 all around the edges
Most impossible is to have all the pegs but in Cracker Barrel edition
Just keep telling yourself that...
The DemonSlayer6669 it’s impossible to get that but if there would be a diffrent shape than this triangle also with 15 holes it would be pretty easy to figure out bec you can only move twice after you eliminated one pin to start so there would be not many options So in conclusion you and the 5 people who liked your comment have a really low iq
Me: *Plays leapfrog Also me: *Eliminates friend after jumping over him
Now this is an underrated comment
Lazsword Kun yee
*Eliminates* *friend* 😂
Meant to be cleaning my room but watching someone move pegs around for 12 mins. No regrets

Don't you mean no regerts lol
There were multiple times where he could have won.

He could have won every time. Thats the point of the game
Yes, he could have won everytime 🤨

You're a genius if you have 8 pegs left
Actually tho
Fur real
My brother did this once
No,it's all 15

Lol i got those
I can't thank you enough Chris. You inspired me to pick up magic again, and now I have my first paid gig coming up. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Mario no, I just use sleight of hand and psychology to create the illusion that I do.
You: I finished with one I’m smart Me an intellectual: tips board upside down
Implying you are smart
One of the things I rlly like abt Chris is that he is so calm and collective and doesn’t get too hyped and annoying 😊
Same 💯🧩
I remember when I was younger I solved it randomly then worked backwards and actually figured out which pin to remove at the start to solve it every time although I have forgot how to do it now😂
Same haha!
there are multiple solutions for every starting hole, and every ending hole. but some starting holes can't get to some ending holes.
Literally I was thinking the same thing I think that’s why it’s called an iq tester
Yeah...my piano teacher had this game and I would play it if I got there early. I solved it pretty quickly, but I could only ever find like 4 solutions.
9:13 : "I still feel like I could play with my opening and it could work" MAAADDD SENTENCE
10:20 is when solves it, no need to like

Crackle Barrel Memories. I won against my brother, and I was like *IN YOUR FACE!*
Malia crackle?
Lol
I REMEMBER THAT
I used to play this all the time at cracker barrel
I loved playing this at crackle barrel when I was younger was never any good but good time killer
I could watch these all day. Nice one man!
WES Barker you can also play this for free at a franchise restaurant called Crackell barrel
Jacob Nguyen no you can't I go there all the time
nah its shit i go out with my friends all day instead of watching this bearded fuck solving shit
at least hes got a a beard...
TheRohBird1 fuck beards
What made this smart is not the fact that he actually but the fact that he kept trying instead of giving up, thinking he was too dumb for it!!! Dam these videos are addictive 😤👌🏾🤧🤧💕💕💕
I swear I am about to fall asleep to the music in the background
Awesome video! Something about the puzzle though is that you’re always supposed to start with the open slot at the tip, like what you did in your first attempt. My grandfather used to make these in his basement with wood from trees in his backyard as the board and golf tees as the pegs.
I already know I have maximum iq. I can assemble ikea furniture while not using the instructions and watching Rick and Morty at the same time. It's child's play, I have over 150 confirmed ikea builds.
This is the best comment here! XDDD
theres actually no maximum iq, at least get your joke right
Roundabout OW r/whoosh
Kochlor 08 r/wooosh seriously, they even said that it was a joke.
WhiteKyurem2 r/wooosh My comment was a joke you moron. I do that to make people angry. Thats why I even type it wrong.
These are so much fun. I used to play with one of these a bunch when I was younger. If you still have this game, try ending with three pins, one in each corner, or other start with the missing pin in different parts of the board and see if you can beat it still.
Yeah, Chris i did one of these as a kid first go! It must have been random but and when I did it again I took care to make sure I remembered my solution, I remember it off by heart now, good to see you had fun with it
C'mon son. Get 0 and ill be impressed.
It is impossible to ger zero because to eliminate a peice you have to have a pin to jump over a peice
Jeff Sheen it was a joke
Jeff Sheen debbie downer
I am sorry I didnt get it but please do not be mean about it I didnt know it was a joke it is hard to tell with a text. Sorry. 😞😢 please forgive me.
isa OK
When I was a kid i figured out that there are fewer solutions than you would originally think, it's all about the orientation of the board and that all possible beginnings are solvable. i couldn't do it now, but i did manage to figure out the correct pattern to solve all of them. i then challenged myself to see if i could leave 5 pins with all possible beginnings. that's a lot harder.
I absolutely love your videos so much, I’ve been binge watching them for 24 hours I haven’t slept 😂😂
I love this game remember I’m just sitting atCracker Barrel and just playing this game I got a 2
You inspired me to get into cardistry and magic. I can’t thank you enough for what you do and I love your channel and your personality. You make me smile and make my day! Much love man
Anytime I had ever played with one of these, it was golf tees on particle wood lol. But it had printed instructions to leave top corner empty when you started.
My great great grandfather made this game along with the parts washer. He was an inventor and died at age 100. I have the first ever made game of this at my house in my room
That is cool
Where is it made of?
That's so cool! I'm sad to hear that he passed away but at least he was able to invent something that many people love.
I've heard of challenges based off of this puzzle. Like ending up with 6 remaining pins with no possible moves. Or end up with one pin by taking out the last pin moved every time.
7:28 you had it and jumped the wrong one
As far as I can tell he couldn't jump any other than the one he did.
Mr. Pi he could, its called content extension ;P
Watch it again and think, I saw it too
Sorry can't see it, which one could he jump?
Instead of jumping the one on the center he could've jumped the one in the right
Chris Is this a new lens I'm seeing? this vid looks extra crispy
Think so
Max Diamond Crispy?
Southstarlion I believe its a British english thing.
Nappa the Lovable Meaning the Quality of the video is perfect!

i like it when you play with your opening chris
We made these when I was in middle school, used golf tees for pins, but mainly it was to show the proper direction to sand wood and how the stain shows any imperfections if you go against the grain.
Hey Chris loved the video. A quick request but if you feel up to it could you please try to solve the Excalibur puzzle again. I would love to see that thing solved.
Hey Chris ! Love your content, your videos are always very Entertaining, keep doing it ✌ Greets from Germany ❤
I have solved that same puzzle over a dozen times, its fun to figure out the combination of moves you have to use to solve it.
I love your personality. 💜
Love the puzzle episodes. Keep it up Chris 👌
Marc du Plessis nice comment Check out my youtube chanel Thanks
Very interesting puzzle and video! Love your channel Chris! Really liking what you're doing with it after stopping the tutorials, and still being able to get new people into the magic, puzzle and cardistry communities! Love your style, photography, videography and mentalism! Started magic and cardistry over a year ago because of you, and it is the first hobby I'm hooked to for more than a few months! Keep up the good work!
BamoArtz i
YES YES YES I love watching your vids even doe I can’t do magic or solve puzzles shoot I ain’t even smart but it’s just interesting to watch them
Why is it so satisfying to watch these type of videos
I love you so much Chris your my favorite magician ever and plus...I LOVE THE FIRST PLAYING CARDS THERE AMAZING!
Amazing work as usual dude, keep up the amazing work and keep doing what you love! You're the best man! #RAMFAM
There is also another puzzle that works as same as this and it's called Brainvita ( the only difference is that it is circular in shape and we use marbles instead of pins/pawns)
Nice little puzzle. I had to pause the video at one point to find an online version. After a few attempts I finally cracked it too, but from a different starting point (middle edge). We both took about 13 moves to solve it, so I think the key is not where you start but how you continue. I may buy this - the one you have - for my dad, as he likes puzzles and this one looks really nice too! :)
yow dude hows the excalibur puzzle
161th like
Joshua 162 like
That’s a slap in the face
Didnt like
He broke it
Getting all pins out exept 8 that cant jump is finishing it is harder than leaving 1
I Master all the puzzles backwards so I normally start with solved puzzles and i try to find the unsolved which to is must easier u should try it one day!! U r awesome btw love ur videos keep doing what u do ❤️❤️❤️
You should try the marble solitaire thing. It’s basically the same but you have to get the 1 marble in the center of the board
I get so happy every time I see you upload ☺️
Nadia Booth nice comment Check out my youtube chanel Thanks
Great video, I was brought over buy The Great Peter Mckinnon. Now I have binged watch for 2 days lol
Toby's Story nice comment Check out my youtube chanel Thanks
*It’s more about trying to figure out a move that leads into another move that leads into another etc*
I figured out at least one of the patterns to solving this when I was about ten, and I still remember it to this day. Super fun!
You must watch a lot of rick and morty since you completed the IQ test.
OMG no.....
I had one of the plastic ones as a kid. Once you learned the pattern, it was easy.
I WAS SCREAMING GO FROM THE TOP N WORK YOUR WAY DOWNA, , but you figured it out
I've always heard that the "correct way to play/win" is to start with the middle out and only the middle left. Because of its design there are technical 4 ways to "win" with 1 peg with the mid missing there is only 1 way to solve with 1 peg in mid.
I have a 75 IQ according to the game Well I mean... I’m not surprised
Only 75? Lmao I got like 12
@@jeremiahbriney4899 12? Lol youd be too stupid to work at McDonald's
@@xpoison6566 I'd be saying the ice cream machine works
How did you get 12? Dat seems hard.
My IQ is so low, i wasn't able to understand the riddle..
same man
@austinbush more of a puzzle
I just thought .. why didn’t he just pull out every pin beside the one lol
I didn’t know this had anything to do with IQ...
@@levihuerta9393 are you stupid nigga
when i was a child, my grandparents had this thing and always i’ve been there i tried it. One day i made it and i felt so happy
I love the sound of the pegs dropping and hitting another peg!
Hello Chris! Well done! Here in Brazil we have almost the same game, with the same goal but the name and, more important, the format of the board is different. It is called "Resta Um" that would be roughly translated to "Only One Left" in portuguese (yep...brazillians ain't hispanic since we where colonized by Portugal...). The board is shaped like a cross... search for it in google to see what it is all about. The interesting thing is that the centre hole is always empty but the goal is the same: Make only one peg be left on the board. ... ...but there is a catch: The HARDER way to solve it is to left only one peg ON THE CENTER HOLE which is far far harder , believe me! Nice vid, congrats on the channel and carry on, mate!! Cheers!! (you got a new sub)
Daniel Lehwing my grandma has one and we found out a way
Aye! There is an algorithm to solve it by lefting just one peg in the centre. But, OBVIOUSLY, I just found it out just a few years back, hahahaha!!
I would hope most people already know that Brazillians speak Portuguese.
Do not be so optimistic... foreigners still think I understand spanish completely, which I do not. Of course both languages are similar, but they differ enough to mess up the communication.
I'm from Denmark. My father has one too shaped like a + were the last piece should end in the center. We never had a name for it though exept "the hard one" since he can solve it but I havn't yet in my 30 years. It realy bites my ass
Bro after hours of sitting in Cracker Barrel I am always left with 2 and I'm pissed.
Sameee
And it's said ZTKezy is still at that cracker barrel to this day
My grandparents used to have a 5x5 square version of this where you had to start with the middle one open. I never managed to have only one left, but had two left several times
Anyone heard of the restauraunt "cracker barrel?" They put this game on every table they have so while you wait for your food you can play this game
Yes I have that is a good restaurant
At 7:28 you coulda solved it
Nope look more carefully
Mitesh Sau Nope you look more carefully
Yeah he could have
But he would end with two
Yes he could solve it completely
Man's got a tattoo on his hands for every time he failed
I grew up with one where it had rules and such. Also said if you could get 8 pegs left without any moves left is harder than having just 1 left on the board.
You actually were in the right place at 7:27. I took a minute or two looking at that setup and got it.
7:50
??
globular ninja oof
I love these games! They have them at every table at my local cracker barrel
Ive had one for years its fun breaking it out every now and then
theres this thing called 'solo test' in Turkey and its basicly same of this but made of plastic so when we were younger we played a lot of this and it was circle instead of triangle
0:39 But what is the ultimate conclusion (i.e. the one you really want)? I think you misused "penultimate" - that means "second to ultimate" or "second to last."
Walt Gottlieb it’s a play on words he meant pin-ultimate conclusion

I would love that, but I’ve never heard of an escape room that would let someone film inside
Mary Monroe he'd have to have a custom one built
My dad gave me one of this in my early teen and I managed to memorize the solution. I used to start with the cornet... however now I didn't even remembered the game till your video. I'll get one so I can do it again.
That was nice to watch
Was i the only 1 that just says "no the other way" to the screen LMAO
I first thought that you needed to put everything back and be left with one pin and thought i was dum
Me too
I love these games. I play them all the time and I try to show other people how to solve them, but no one ever remembers
MAN YOU ARE SO GOOD LOOKING! It mesmerizing me.
Wendy njizod yup he is got damn 😍
Just take all of them out and put one back😂
“Makes me the smartest guy in the room” No ones in the room.😂🤦♂️
I ve seen an another version of this game. 36 pieces of marbals. The concept is the same. Didn know tht game was or could be an IQ test game until i saw this video.. Fun game thnks fr the information..
There is some satisfying sounds happening with the wood an the *plink* When the pins hit each other

I think if was doing this, I would try and solve it backwards
I’ve done this so many times at cracker barrel😂
That clinging sound is so satisfying
In Brazil there is a similar game, called as "Resta Um"(like "One Remain"), but the format isn't a triangle, it's a cross.
