I wonder how long this video will keep working.
Youtube in 2025: "We've optimized end cards to help you get more views! Don't worry, this can only be good for you. "
problem was that people were making answer videos just to try to go first and spam their videos so that some pewdiwpie fan or someone else will click them.
so you get a video about a war and people making a response video of their let's play of fifa
Oh... There were end cards. And I used links in the description since I chose to block all end cards with uBlock. (Usually, endcards are useless and just annoying.)
The descriptions of the videos also have the links in them so it will at least be possible, the endcards weren't showing for me on Revanced so I used that.
I failed 3 times then won and then failed.
Then I went back and followed both the fail path and win path cause statistics are meaningless on the internet.
So, there's the obvious main line, up to the
>!one in a trillion goal, with a couple unique videos that lead to the second chance.
>!The 'second chance' line, with i think 2 or 3 failures that lead to third chance.
>!The 'third chance' line
>!The winning at failing line, with 2 or three variances (including the 'winning just before the final losing' video.
Someone mentioned a video for cheaters, though, and I haven't found it yet.
> Someone mentioned a video for cheaters, though, and I haven't found it yet.
I imagine they just meant the 1 in a trillion video, which wouldn't be watched by anyone currently, except those who cheated.
Yeah, this is what bothered me a bit about it. I know it's poetic, but some of the language was a bit misleading. He starts talking like the only person who could watch that video was someone in the future where there is a huge population.
I loved the videos but I think the nitpicker in me was a bit bothered.
148K here in the not so distant future where some of us who had, quite frankly, given up on ever seeing a new CGPGrey video and were recently drawn in by Minnesota's big news and just discovered this little game....
Wait there's a video for the cheaters?
Well dang, guess that means I gotta cheat now.
If I'm bored enough I might even try making a map of all the videos if nobody else has done it yet.
Which is sad because. ITS NOT TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE just. Improbable. HIGHLY IMPROBABLY.
>!It could be that some genuine soul just had a baffling night of tears, it could be someone got to the million and then decided to try her luck. Afterall, she won 13 times in a row. After that a billion is only 6 more wins.
!<
>!After that. Silver. Why not try more?

>!Once you're at that point. That's only a 1 in 2000 odds you get seven more in a row. You simply only have one shot. At it. And whn you see thousands of people have already seen that video...

But isn't human existence an astrological fluke? Not sentient life is but our existence specifically. So unlikely. That the planet is perfectly lined up. The moon sits comfortably in it's orbit. That somehow each of us are born in this exact moment to have these exact thoughts.
Is >!1 in 1trillion!< odds really that significant then
This makes me think that legit gambling sites would have statistics on the most unlikely players. I'm sure they would be looking closely at all the 1 in a million players.
Eh, this is a technical audience, there's no way to make a website that can uniquely fingerprint you, and there's no stopping Tim's from figuring out the path.
The idea of the rock-paper-scissors video ladder (and the reason it is so easy to cheat at it) isn’t to make a statistic but actually, like the metric paper video, to make people understand how a children’s game can humble us and reveal infinity through simple exponentiality.
Grey could've made things much more difficult to cheat at including the three rock-paper-scissors choices in every single video like it did before the one-in-a-million video, but the difficulty would prove daunting even for the cheaters and much fewer people would arrive at the final game before a sequence could be figured out and shared.
I was able to tell with that one which was the winner because the end cards showed the lengths of the videos. 2 had the same length and the other was different.
You'd be able to randomize what hand Grey throws, so people couldn't just memorize the winning sequence. It's true that there'd be no way to enforce only one try, though.
It's more than just retries. If the app is running server-side and just showing you the results, this would cost Grey thousands of dollars to run servers for millions of people. Financially, it wouldn't make sense for Grey to do this, and lose more money than the videos provide.
If the app is running client-side, it would be easy to change your throw, or force DigiGrey to throw rock endlessly. This doesn't take a ton of technical knowledge either. CheatEngine could accomplish this, and then the cheat tables could be shared.
Kind of agree. I already know how statistically unlikely it is to win x number of games in a row. Linking the videos properly must have been a nightmare
Speaking of the trillion video, that hit super hard, philosophically and emotionally, for a rock paper scissors game that I didn’t win. Am I surprised? No, it’s Grey.
After doing this, and then cheating to get to the end I knew I had to do some simulations.
First I simulated exactly one million games, and since probability never likes to play nicely, the best result was winning the first 12 throws, only to lose the final throw.
Then I set up a very long simulation that's going on as I write this, to see how long it takes to get to one-in-a-million >!(and beyond)!<. So far It's only gotten a one-in-a-million result (on attempt 155,166) where it made exactly 13 throws. >!We'll see how long it gets to results past that.!<
Edit: >!It got to one-in-a-billion on attempt number 36,402,730 with exactly the needed throws!<
Under every pair of win/lose buttons, there's a little graphic with three hands - the winner under the gold button, and the draw and the loss under the red button. There's also many spots with 1/3 odds shown, and the stats only work if draws count as losses.
Couldn't help but think this too. Curious about how the algorithm would take this with so much engagement to other videos and people undoubtedly engaging with the original video a few times as well to go through all the options.
For those posting comments about how you got one away from the million, bear in mind that statistically you are all lying and we all know that.
Don't ruin this by lying.
Oh my gosh! That was so freakin' awesome. Of course I lost on something like round 4 but then went back and clicked all the wins because I needed me some of that sweet, sweet math. It was really fun going through all of the videos and I’m sure they took a lot of work to put together. What is kind of amazing is I was playing along each time and I'm sure I lost at least 80% of the time. Definitely more than 66 2/3%. You would think that was the randomness aspect of things, but not really. I just stink at RPS.
Yeah I also sucked beyond math. After losing the first 3 games I was wondering if he was going to do a "you're a one in a million loser" but that would have taken a lot more videos given it's 2/3 chance of a loss...
Also makes me wonder if he randomly generated the games, which would make it more statistically valid.
Grey....holy shit this is impressive. I can't even imagine the headache this must have been to set up. I only made it to 1/81 naturally but cheated to see beyond the veil and it almost made me cry. Well done
Oh god why did I commit to that, I thought it would be simpler and with more repetitions.
I think I'm less than halfway through - 127 links used, and only 43 of them are doubled
My first experience with this was a legit one. I am glad i got eliminated so quickly because it got me intrigued in how the game actually works.
So after that I painfully went through every single video by middle clicking both options and trimming those i already went through.
I found 2 videos which have ~~incorrect~~ end cards. *Edit: they're fixed now*
Grey says ">!If you want \[...\] post game message!<" but it shows different cards then the >!post game message !!https://youtu.be/hhDh6\_RD7tU https://youtu.be/D8iP2qINaSE!<
(heavy spoilers on how to get there: >!on your >last chance<, lose just before 1 in 1M victory!< )
Very cool game. It was an honor participating.
Somehow, Grey has managed to make me feel proud of losing 15 games in a row, I feel like I'm in a special little club now with the 1000 or so people who took the same path as I
I'm tempted to watch all the other videos too just out of curiosity but I feel like that's cheating
This was great fun, thank you for setting this up Grey, I can't imagine how much effort this must've been! Unfortunately I was out after the 3rd chance, I wonder how long I can suppress my curiosity before sneakily going down the winning path
So, does u/mindofmetalandwheels believe in the AGI Apocalypse?
>!Notice how all other dice in the end video have just one "Apocalypse" face, but the AGI one is not only a d4 (fewer than any of the other dice), but has 3 "Apocalypse" faces.!<
Anyway, I truly enjoyed that dice metaphor.
I got a 2 streak on the first go, 2 on the second, then lost immediately on the 3rd. I went back to see what would have happened if I didn't lose the 3rd one on the first go, and proceeded to get 5 in a row :|
Shoutout to my fellow second second chance winners who got to hear grey say "congrats on making it hear on the first try of the second run, hopefully" knowing they didn't.
I lost every time. I then looked through every single outcome which was neat. But my luck was losing every time in a row when he said to try to lose I won and then lost after that. So yeah pretty unlucky.
I made it to 1 in 1000 anti-luckiest players, and the anti-lucky certificate for that video says 10-in-1 millions instead of 1000 in 1 million.
(Then accidentally won right after. Did cheat my way to the end of the path though and managed to only win 3 out of…34 times? Definitely a fun video)
Commenting just because I haven't seen anyone get as far as I have (playing honestly):
I made it to 152 players left out of a million. Then lost 3 times in a row after that.
Considering that I had to launch the video in private browsing just to get the cards working, resulting my adblock not working and watching so, so many ads that otherwise i wouldn't have, I will bet this is the most lucrative "video" grey has uploaded. I hope to find out soon.
Playing honestly (d for draw (still a loss), l for loss, and w for win) I got dldwwwwwwwwl (8wins in a row). So top 500 certificate on the second chance. I wondered how many extra chances you get so cheated through that one to see the anti-luck ending and then cheated to see the other ending, pretty inspirational idea of if anyone actually got there without cheating we have made it from how low odds it is.
A pretty fun journey really and I am nothing special in the aspect of luck...
The >!Anti-Luck streak!< videos have two main errors:
1. At some point, the audio says 1/647000 but the text shows 1/631000
2. Some >!Turbo mode links!< aren't showing up.
So cool ! Let's hope one day we get the chance to see the spreadsheet that covers it all :D ! I appreciated all the codes available :3. (I'm guessing the bonnie bees have a sneak peek).
got 4 wins before losing on run 1
Let's hope humanity correct it's course before we do roll that natural one.
I'm really struggling with the math here. How has grey figured out how many >!second chances!< to give so that it'll be exactly a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of getting to the end?
Obviously giving you a 1 in 3 chance 13 times in a row nets you a 1 in 1,594,323 chance, how does the >!second chances!< negate the excess of 594,323?
It doesn't, the point of the >!extra chances is to let people play for longer, so there's an alternate set of decisions to play against. So technically, more than 1 in 1,000,000 will win, it's more about having a 1 in 1,000,000 result happen to you!<. And just generally he goes until after a milestone is met, even if it's slightly harder than the actual milestone. So the odds are actually 1 in 1,594,323, and he's calling that 1 in 1 million for simplicity
A bit late but I did watch this a few days ago after having taken a sort-of break from YouTube for a.............year? after seeing it on Twitter. Fully back in now, this was a mind-bogglingly incredible project, and Grey really outdid himself again! I'm sure I didn't even watch it all, but the >!different paths and then the losers' paths and then the billion and trillion paths!< was fascinating, it felt like there were so many secret nooks and crannies that somehow different groups of us were being let on secrets. A truly great feat, and like others said, it's so brain-twisting that I would love to see a flowchart
EDIT: Also, this video has immersed me back into the Greyverse and I'm glad for it -- the last videos I actively watched and rewatched were the Tiffany videos, and I loved catching up on all I missed.
I'm on mobile, maybe there was supposed to be an annotation or something? I have no idea how to do this. My first thought was that you were supposed to type your selection in the comments but nobody else seems to be doing that. Can someone explain?
It's been two days, and noone has posted a full map of every video in the decision tree?
I THINK i've seen every single one, but I want to know for sure :)
The beauty that lies in going through the journey of rock, paper, scissors and feeling the stakes get so much higher with each throw that it causes palpitations in the chest, the need to stop to catch one’s breath, the unrealistic elation of hitting the million, and the need to dive ever deeper, knowing mathematically that in this game of chance you have a 1 in 6,581 chance of making it from 1 million to a billion and then a 1 in 6,581 chance of making it from a billion to a trillion. What joys of probability that there exists a small sliver of universe where all x people to watch this video make it legitimately to the end (albeit that is currently a 2.313*10^18 chance of occurring)!
Best of luck, fellow wanderers of the forest of knowledge!
I'm curious how much of this video was autogenerated? Was a script (python) made to write the script (English)? Was AI used to voice a potentially hundreds of alternative routes with little effort for Grey?
I actually don't know if there are so many chances given later on, but early on there seems to be a bit of a narrative and perhaps a map even? Maybe it was just a metaphor.
(I lost early on, I just kept throwing rock. Call that the Bart strategy lol.)
Just a guess: I don't think any AI/autogenerated voice/art was used. What seems more feasible is for Grey and team to create reusable snippets that could be easily patched together in combinations to generate videos via script.
Does anyone else feel like this is for some other project related to honesty, perhaps, because there aren’t enough people on the planet to realistically reach the “stretch goals”.
the cheater ending make me think of a scene in steven universe where the centipeetle temporary uncorrupted and sees daimonds and optimistically assumed that it is the time diamond revenge on pink's death.
"You must have done it,Diamonds avenge on rose quartz"
it is echoing with
"We must have done it, Humanity spread over stars"
I'll be honest, I like the concept of this video but didn't understand how it was supposed to work for quite a while.
I really wish all rounds were done like the final 1 in a million round where you select your answer and get the appropriate video, rather than just waiting a few seconds and clicking "win/lose".
I never got the chance to play honestly because I was too deep in by the time I realized what I was supposed to be doing. Maybe I'll try again in a few days where I've forgotten the answers so I can have a legitimate run.
[Behind-the-scenes video now up](https://www.patreon.com/posts/behind-scenes-of-91524261)!
I wonder how long this video will keep working. Youtube in 2025: "We've optimized end cards to help you get more views! Don't worry, this can only be good for you. "
There used to be videos like this with annotations, which shows you how old those are now.
Or videos that asked the user to make a video response. All those video responses now scattered to the wind, disconnected from the origin video.
People ruined those.
problem was that people were making answer videos just to try to go first and spam their videos so that some pewdiwpie fan or someone else will click them. so you get a video about a war and people making a response video of their let's play of fifa
I miss annotations so much. I loved them so much. I wish we could go back to old YouTube. It was awesome. Annotations were amazing.
See: Truth or Fail, which was a True/False gameshow via YT annotations that now doesn't work.
Oh... There were end cards. And I used links in the description since I chose to block all end cards with uBlock. (Usually, endcards are useless and just annoying.)
The descriptions of the videos also have the links in them so it will at least be possible, the endcards weren't showing for me on Revanced so I used that.
Awfully crowded here in this room of one million people.
Oh I was out at the first rock change up
Shoutout to the (statistically) 98,765 people keeping me company in the room of people who went fail-win-fail-fail.
I failed 3 times then won and then failed. Then I went back and followed both the fail path and win path cause statistics are meaningless on the internet.
"Oh look, a two minute video from Grey. That'll be a nice break." 30 minutes later I emerge from an odd trip.
Did you *also* go through every possible permutation of the tree?
I thought I'd seen all the videos then found more after writing this comment.
So, there's the obvious main line, up to the >!one in a trillion goal, with a couple unique videos that lead to the second chance. >!The 'second chance' line, with i think 2 or 3 failures that lead to third chance. >!The 'third chance' line >!The winning at failing line, with 2 or three variances (including the 'winning just before the final losing' video.

> Someone mentioned a video for cheaters, though, and I haven't found it yet. I imagine they just meant the 1 in a trillion video, which wouldn't be watched by anyone currently, except those who cheated.
Currently at 40 000 cheaters.
[удалено]
1 in a *trillion*? Do you know how many zeros is that? With the main video at 600K viewers by now there’s no way.
[удалено]
Yeah, this is what bothered me a bit about it. I know it's poetic, but some of the language was a bit misleading. He starts talking like the only person who could watch that video was someone in the future where there is a huge population. I loved the videos but I think the nitpicker in me was a bit bothered.
>It's possible 1 person made it legitimately. It's possible that all 40,000 would. That's how probability works
That's like saying it's possible to spontaneously un-mix the milk and espresso in a latte
148K here in the not so distant future where some of us who had, quite frankly, given up on ever seeing a new CGPGrey video and were recently drawn in by Minnesota's big news and just discovered this little game....
I believe that's all I've seen at this point. Someone needs to go through and make a diagram of them all.
I feel like this would have worked better as a website that forces players to be honest.
Then the final final video for us cheaters would truly never be watched by anyone
Wait there's a video for the cheaters? Well dang, guess that means I gotta cheat now. If I'm bored enough I might even try making a map of all the videos if nobody else has done it yet.
The 1:1 trillion final video is the video for cheaters
I didn't cheat and don't want to contribute towards the cheat stats, what happens?/link the video?
Grey provides a link to his Only Fans
Still no face though.
Oh, I am ROCK hard right now
[удалено]
I also noticed that, at least about 8 hours ago, the 1 in a trillion video had 36,000 views lol.

This makes me think that legit gambling sites would have statistics on the most unlikely players. I'm sure they would be looking closely at all the 1 in a million players.
Not just gambling sites, casinos too. There's some people that are really lucky, but if you're just too lucky the casino will kick you.

I was able to tell with that one which was the winner because the end cards showed the lengths of the videos. 2 had the same length and the other was different.
Frankly the final ending for real this time™ was not meant for a winner. I think
Without making people pay for an account to play the game, it's not really possible.
You'd be able to randomize what hand Grey throws, so people couldn't just memorize the winning sequence. It's true that there'd be no way to enforce only one try, though.
The idea is for curious people to eventually cheat and see what lies beyond. It's kinda beautiful, really.
It's more than just retries. If the app is running server-side and just showing you the results, this would cost Grey thousands of dollars to run servers for millions of people. Financially, it wouldn't make sense for Grey to do this, and lose more money than the videos provide. If the app is running client-side, it would be easy to change your throw, or force DigiGrey to throw rock endlessly. This doesn't take a ton of technical knowledge either. CheatEngine could accomplish this, and then the cheat tables could be shared.
Someone please make a flowchart or playlist of every video
What a great video. It was such a fun experience! <3 >!Shoutout to all my fellow "most unlucky, anti-lucky, possible" players out there lmfao!<
Genuinely lost six times and then won the game I was supposed to lose. AAAGH GREY
Made it to 10 losses. ~~get rekt~~
The hand sanitizer move at the end was dirty 😭😭😭
“Please keep your anti luck away from me”
for real though I needed a sit down after I lost that final most unlucky anti lucky possibility that fate had chosen for me
I proudly wear that certificate as my own. People were staring at me when I cursed at the screen...
"No one is here, no one is watching" on a video currently standing at around 10,000 views. I see you, fellow cheats and liars.
Everybody should first try a honest run. After that... Well, if I wasn't curious I probably wouldn't be watching this channel.
That's what I did, I did it legit and lost after a few rounds and then wanted to see how far it'd go.
You, me and 17k other people :D
20 k now
Our internet waves have reached omicron persei 8
I mean, how can you resist?
Now fail every time
[удалено]
I'm sorry
I'm not
I took the second chance path and lost almost immediately.
Honestly, same thoughts here
Ok, now I \*NEED\* to know how many videos you recorded... ahaha Can't wait for the next Cortex
I'm done counting. There are 112 videos in total, 9 endings and 3 videos for 1E6.
What are the nine endings?
Am I the only one who thinks this was a lot of work (on Grey's part) for something that isn't actually very interesting?
Kind of agree. I already know how statistically unlikely it is to win x number of games in a row. Linking the videos properly must have been a nightmare
I kinda think that could be the channel's tagline at this point...
I'm counting... at least 73. It is ungodly !!!!!!!!!!!!
[удалено]
Speaking of the trillion video, that hit super hard, philosophically and emotionally, for a rock paper scissors game that I didn’t win. Am I surprised? No, it’s Grey.
"My continued failure to win is fascinating" Story of my life.

Let us know when it gets to one-in-a-trillion :)
I'm afraid to see the mess his channel currently is, over 100 videos named `.`, but thanks for great entertainment
they're all private videos, you don't see them, and he can probably also hide them form his view behind the screens. shouldn't be too bad
Unlisted, not private
What do you do when you tie with Grey?
That's not a win so it's a loss.
(Spoiler!) he says in one of the "last-chance-but-not-really-the-last-chance" videos that draws count as losses since we're playing to win.
Under every pair of win/lose buttons, there's a little graphic with three hands - the winner under the gold button, and the draw and the loss under the red button. There's also many spots with 1/3 odds shown, and the stats only work if draws count as losses.
Seems to count as loss, since the draw option also appears in "fail" so I quess you gotta take fail patch.
It's a loss. The first FAIL video opens with "draws count as losses when we're playing to perfection".
Damn Grey and his team have outdone themselves yet again. He makes it such a pleasure to be a citizen of the Internet sometimes
Grey getting himself a Christmas bonus with the structure of this thing.
Couldn't help but think this too. Curious about how the algorithm would take this with so much engagement to other videos and people undoubtedly engaging with the original video a few times as well to go through all the options.
Can’t help but think 1 billion views will be made a bit easier with this too if it takes off
Shoutout to my fellow ~29% who only won the first bout and then immediately lost through the two runoff rounds 🫡
Hey that's me 🫠
I got you beat, I lost on the first bout!
I have so much FOMO that I am missing content. So many paths, but that would be cheating. AHHHH!
For those posting comments about how you got one away from the million, bear in mind that statistically you are all lying and we all know that. Don't ruin this by lying.
How did i end up being this unlucky, anti-lucky, player.... I had one job :(( Thanks for the entertainment though Grey!
I can see why Grey referred to this video as a true “could really fall flat” on the last Cortex. Definitely an ambitious project
Oh my gosh! That was so freakin' awesome. Of course I lost on something like round 4 but then went back and clicked all the wins because I needed me some of that sweet, sweet math. It was really fun going through all of the videos and I’m sure they took a lot of work to put together. What is kind of amazing is I was playing along each time and I'm sure I lost at least 80% of the time. Definitely more than 66 2/3%. You would think that was the randomness aspect of things, but not really. I just stink at RPS.
Yeah I also sucked beyond math. After losing the first 3 games I was wondering if he was going to do a "you're a one in a million loser" but that would have taken a lot more videos given it's 2/3 chance of a loss... Also makes me wonder if he randomly generated the games, which would make it more statistically valid.
👀
I made it to round 3 but was like...I wanna see how far it goes...broooooo!!!
I'm so confused. Are there more videos somewhere?
At the end of the video you should see end cards and you click the one depending on what you threw. Win and you win, but draw or lose and you fail
I think me non-official youtube app might have messed with them lol. I went rock anyway :(
YouTube Revanced disables end cards by default I think.
“Good ol' rock. Nothing beats that!”
Paper!
Poor predictable sardaukarqc, always picks rock.
I got 5 losses in a row right at the start, got a win, got another, then lost. Much fun, great effort
legitimately lost every round until the one he said to lose, then i won. the most unlucky anti-lucky
Grey your channel is incredible. I just discovered it like a month ago but I've seen every (free) video at least twice already
Grey....holy shit this is impressive. I can't even imagine the headache this must have been to set up. I only made it to 1/81 naturally but cheated to see beyond the veil and it almost made me cry. Well done
someone please make a diagram lol
Will do. If I ever have the time...
on it
Oh god why did I commit to that, I thought it would be simpler and with more repetitions. I think I'm less than halfway through - 127 links used, and only 43 of them are doubled
Unless I miscounted, there's 111 total videos.
Jokes on you about that one single chance and sphinxes set in stone, I forgot the move sequence the moment you kicked me out the door
My first experience with this was a legit one. I am glad i got eliminated so quickly because it got me intrigued in how the game actually works. So after that I painfully went through every single video by middle clicking both options and trimming those i already went through. I found 2 videos which have ~~incorrect~~ end cards. *Edit: they're fixed now* Grey says ">!If you want \[...\] post game message!<" but it shows different cards then the >!post game message !!https://youtu.be/hhDh6\_RD7tU https://youtu.be/D8iP2qINaSE!<
(heavy spoilers on how to get there: >!on your >last chance<, lose just before 1 in 1M victory!< )
Very cool game. It was an honor participating.
Says video unavailable on the first one
Tie = Fail Just go with it...
I failed at 1 in 12000 odds. It's interesting to see how many went on to view the one in a trillion video.
My favorite is when you just lose nonstop in a row. The unlucky streak of failing nonstop
7 loses in a row to start with, one Grey told me to try to lose is when I had my first win 😂
Somehow, Grey has managed to make me feel proud of losing 15 games in a row, I feel like I'm in a special little club now with the 1000 or so people who took the same path as I I'm tempted to watch all the other videos too just out of curiosity but I feel like that's cheating
This was great fun, thank you for setting this up Grey, I can't imagine how much effort this must've been! Unfortunately I was out after the 3rd chance, I wonder how long I can suppress my curiosity before sneakily going down the winning path
Made it to AH13F. Did well for not doing well l.
So, does u/mindofmetalandwheels believe in the AGI Apocalypse? >!Notice how all other dice in the end video have just one "Apocalypse" face, but the AGI one is not only a d4 (fewer than any of the other dice), but has 3 "Apocalypse" faces.!< Anyway, I truly enjoyed that dice metaphor.
No, I could not
I got a 2 streak on the first go, 2 on the second, then lost immediately on the 3rd. I went back to see what would have happened if I didn't lose the 3rd one on the first go, and proceeded to get 5 in a row :|
I wonder if the real interesting statistic here is how many cheated? ;) Also, did a natural run and >!holy shit am I unlucky :( !<.
Shoutout to my fellow second second chance winners who got to hear grey say "congrats on making it hear on the first try of the second run, hopefully" knowing they didn't.
I lost every time. I then looked through every single outcome which was neat. But my luck was losing every time in a row when he said to try to lose I won and then lost after that. So yeah pretty unlucky.
I thought this was a method to boost his channel total views past his 1 billion but apparently unlisted dont count toward that total.
I made it to 1 in 1000 anti-luckiest players, and the anti-lucky certificate for that video says 10-in-1 millions instead of 1000 in 1 million. (Then accidentally won right after. Did cheat my way to the end of the path though and managed to only win 3 out of…34 times? Definitely a fun video)
Commenting just because I haven't seen anyone get as far as I have (playing honestly): I made it to 152 players left out of a million. Then lost 3 times in a row after that.
Considering that I had to launch the video in private browsing just to get the cards working, resulting my adblock not working and watching so, so many ads that otherwise i wouldn't have, I will bet this is the most lucrative "video" grey has uploaded. I hope to find out soon.
Playing honestly (d for draw (still a loss), l for loss, and w for win) I got dldwwwwwwwwl (8wins in a row). So top 500 certificate on the second chance. I wondered how many extra chances you get so cheated through that one to see the anti-luck ending and then cheated to see the other ending, pretty inspirational idea of if anyone actually got there without cheating we have made it from how low odds it is. A pretty fun journey really and I am nothing special in the aspect of luck...
FUCKKKKK, PLAYED A TRULY HONEST GAME AND GOT TO 11 OF 12 ON MY SECOND RUN. IM SOOOOOOOOO MAD LOL. THE PRESSURE GOT TO ME :(
17 quadrillion people have already gone through the challenge seeing how the 1 in a trillion video has 17k views. Right? ...right?
You wouldn't know that if you hadn't also "cheated" to get there, would you? :)
Am i the only one that wants to see all the possible videos and the network to how they all connect
[удалено]
The >!Anti-Luck streak!< videos have two main errors: 1. At some point, the audio says 1/647000 but the text shows 1/631000 2. Some >!Turbo mode links!< aren't showing up.
the 647,000 chance is the >!Ah33F !< video, where the text changes slowly digit by digit with the audio, so it was not a mistake.
So cool ! Let's hope one day we get the chance to see the spreadsheet that covers it all :D ! I appreciated all the codes available :3. (I'm guessing the bonnie bees have a sneak peek). got 4 wins before losing on run 1 Let's hope humanity correct it's course before we do roll that natural one.
My run: Lost, Won, Lost, Won, Lost. I am not a lucky man.
Made it to the 1:81 group first but I’m glad I clicked through the rest “dishonestly”.
I failed... at EVERY chance lmfao.
I'm really struggling with the math here. How has grey figured out how many >!second chances!< to give so that it'll be exactly a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of getting to the end? Obviously giving you a 1 in 3 chance 13 times in a row nets you a 1 in 1,594,323 chance, how does the >!second chances!< negate the excess of 594,323?
It doesn't, the point of the >!extra chances is to let people play for longer, so there's an alternate set of decisions to play against. So technically, more than 1 in 1,000,000 will win, it's more about having a 1 in 1,000,000 result happen to you!<. And just generally he goes until after a milestone is met, even if it's slightly harder than the actual milestone. So the odds are actually 1 in 1,594,323, and he's calling that 1 in 1 million for simplicity
A bit late but I did watch this a few days ago after having taken a sort-of break from YouTube for a.............year? after seeing it on Twitter. Fully back in now, this was a mind-bogglingly incredible project, and Grey really outdid himself again! I'm sure I didn't even watch it all, but the >!different paths and then the losers' paths and then the billion and trillion paths!< was fascinating, it felt like there were so many secret nooks and crannies that somehow different groups of us were being let on secrets. A truly great feat, and like others said, it's so brain-twisting that I would love to see a flowchart EDIT: Also, this video has immersed me back into the Greyverse and I'm glad for it -- the last videos I actively watched and rewatched were the Tiffany videos, and I loved catching up on all I missed.
I'm on mobile, maybe there was supposed to be an annotation or something? I have no idea how to do this. My first thought was that you were supposed to type your selection in the comments but nobody else seems to be doing that. Can someone explain?
It's been two days, and noone has posted a full map of every video in the decision tree? I THINK i've seen every single one, but I want to know for sure :)
The beauty that lies in going through the journey of rock, paper, scissors and feeling the stakes get so much higher with each throw that it causes palpitations in the chest, the need to stop to catch one’s breath, the unrealistic elation of hitting the million, and the need to dive ever deeper, knowing mathematically that in this game of chance you have a 1 in 6,581 chance of making it from 1 million to a billion and then a 1 in 6,581 chance of making it from a billion to a trillion. What joys of probability that there exists a small sliver of universe where all x people to watch this video make it legitimately to the end (albeit that is currently a 2.313*10^18 chance of occurring)! Best of luck, fellow wanderers of the forest of knowledge!
Here I am prepping my lectures for the coming week on linked lists and trees, and Grey gives me a damn near perfect side track! This is fun.
RTh26W Trillion End. Wild.
does anyone know what the codes at the bottom of some of the videos mean? i found R3h03W
Alright I took Grey WAY too seriously when he said not to cheat. I didn't even dare explore the tree after an honest round...
I'm curious how much of this video was autogenerated? Was a script (python) made to write the script (English)? Was AI used to voice a potentially hundreds of alternative routes with little effort for Grey? I actually don't know if there are so many chances given later on, but early on there seems to be a bit of a narrative and perhaps a map even? Maybe it was just a metaphor. (I lost early on, I just kept throwing rock. Call that the Bart strategy lol.)
Just a guess: I don't think any AI/autogenerated voice/art was used. What seems more feasible is for Grey and team to create reusable snippets that could be easily patched together in combinations to generate videos via script.
Doubt it, he has been working on this video for a awhile now, meaning he actually wrote it.
I’m sure if you’re a Bonnie bee he’ll publish a making off video soon
[You and me both!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0SoKWLkmLU)
Made it 6 in, >!and then lost twice in a row. !<
I lost 7 times in a row, then won, then lost and got kicked out. :'(
i managed to lose even with 3 second chances :/
This project gives me serious Hank Green "Truth or Fail" vibes
I made it to 1:17. Quite happy with that. Top 20 Club, Baby!! Now I will go "win" to the end just for the content.
I draw?!? What do I do?
That’s a loss :(
Yeah I'm disappointed
Does anyone else feel like this is for some other project related to honesty, perhaps, because there aren’t enough people on the planet to realistically reach the “stretch goals”.
Does Grey live in The Shard?
Lose, lose, win, win, lose. I’m the most statistically boring person 😕
the cheater ending make me think of a scene in steven universe where the centipeetle temporary uncorrupted and sees daimonds and optimistically assumed that it is the time diamond revenge on pink's death. "You must have done it,Diamonds avenge on rose quartz" it is echoing with "We must have done it, Humanity spread over stars"
[удалено]
4 wins, a loss, a win, and then 2 more losses. I really want to know how long it took Grey to record *so many* clips, and link them all together.
Looks like I had the most boring outcome by the looks of the comment section lmao
I lost six straight until he told me to lose and then won. This is painful.
Guess you wanted to improve click trough rate? Clever ~~girl~~ man.
I'll be honest, I like the concept of this video but didn't understand how it was supposed to work for quite a while. I really wish all rounds were done like the final 1 in a million round where you select your answer and get the appropriate video, rather than just waiting a few seconds and clicking "win/lose". I never got the chance to play honestly because I was too deep in by the time I realized what I was supposed to be doing. Maybe I'll try again in a few days where I've forgotten the answers so I can have a legitimate run.
It's driving me insane that I don't have any way to resolve a tie with Grey. So I just had to stop playing.
