Carnival Scam Science (and how to WIN)

Prepare to drop some knowledge next time you visit the carnival.
I collected data at the carnival for a full day. Then I used that information to figure out which games are the biggest scams using science to analyze them and show you how to beat them. I also figured out how much the carnival actually pays for the prizes so even if you win, you lose. And then I visited the carnival with my professional baseball playing buddy to dominate all the games. It worked well.
I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs UKposts channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- / crunchlabs

The trick to the rope ladder is to one, practice anddd two: This may sound very odd but going backwards makes it SO much easier. And three, ALWAYS keep both feet and one hand on the bar when moving backwards to climb up. Hope it helps!

Something i learned with the rope climb. After you get about halfway and even a little past. Its easier to finish the last stretch if you allow yourself to flip upside down. If youre not disoriented and strong enough you end up just doing sqinging monkey bars. This obviously may be against the rules for some.

-That was a nice easter egg bonus that you added about showing the flush animal to your wife. Her aww/why reaction was priceless. So was your fourth wall camera glance! Thank you for that! -The guy that lost of of his money at the carnival should have just bought a xbox kinect for much less than $1K. He most definitely had an addictive personality. Something he should watch out for in other aspects of his life. That money could have gone to something he whole family could have benefited from, like a downpayment on a house (the beginning of one, anyway), a car, a vacation. Or something for later like a college fund for the toddler in that stroller.

I managed to get across the ladder multiple times after studying how others kept failing. Basically, the first time, I purposefully flipped it and then just climbed regularly upside down. After it was concluded I had cheated, I went again and spread myself out. Again, I reached the end but had flipped in the last few rungs and my win was invalidated. So I straddled the ladder and raced the person next to me. I won and it was finally counted.

I live close to a beach and pier and there's lots of those games. They used to have the ladder one. It was called 'The Loopy Ladder' the young guy that ran the stall for a few years could walk up and down the ladder no problem. He would do it all the time and people would see him doing it so easily and think they'd be able to do it too. He would offer to help out by holding the ladder steady for people. When the person got about a third of the way up, he would let go, but as he let go he would would ever so slightly jerk the ladder over to one side so the person trying would fall as soon as he let go. My brother used to work on the dodgems next to the 'Loopy Ladder' and he was friends with the dude who ran the stall. My brother was never able to do it though, even though he practised many times.

I grew up in Valencia (Santa Clarita) in SoCal during the 80's home of Six Flags Magic Mountain. My parents would drop me off w/ friends and we all had Season Passes every year! They had most of these carnival games back then and my favorite "big loser" was the ladder. As most kids growing up in that town, many of us ended up working there too. Most my friends chose NOT to work in that area of the park.

At a Carnival I once saw an old man in a wheelchair at a shooting booth where you shoot with BBs. He somehow had problems to reload and handle the rifle but he had perfect aim. Ten shots and ten hits. Even the booth owner was a bit surprised. And so this guy rolled away with a teddy bear. I imagine him as a retired sniper and he just wasnt used to BB guns.

When you realize that corporations/politicians are blaming mexico and China for cheating Americans by manufacturing these toys when the reality is that it is American corporations cheating the American people with these dirty tricks and shifting the blame to China or Mexico instead... The same thing happened with our opioid crises - with companies like Purdue Pharmacy or McKinsey (US corporations) getting Americans hooked intentionally and then blaming companies that mass manufacture the drug compounds (used for various legal purposes and for legal analgesic purposes) for getting Americans addicted to drugs. We have to be wiser and more intelligent about this. Perhaps critical thinking was never part of the American school curriculum by design.
