In “a clever Ted Ed Riddle” animated by Artrake Studio and narrated by Addison Anderson, math teacher and TED-Ed educator Daniel Finkel posed the question “Can you solve the wizard standoff riddle?”, which involves choosing the right wand to ensure victory for your magic school.
You’ve been chosen as a champion to represent your wizarding house in a deadly duel against two rival magic schools. Your opponents are a powerful sorcerer who wields a wand that can turn people into fish, and a powerful enchantress who wields a wand that turns people into statues. Can you choose a wand and devise a strategy that ensures you will win the duel?
