TED-Ed: Can you solve the rogue submarine riddle? Difficulty level: Master | Alex Rosenthal

The video presents a complex puzzle involving nuclear missile launch codes. Two minions, A and B, each have part of the code, with A knowing the sum and B knowing the product of two numbers. Through logical deduction and analysis of statements, the correct override codes are determined to prevent the missile launch. The solution involves understanding the implications of each character's knowledge and narrowing down possibilities based on mathematical reasoning.

How does the puzzle illustrate the concept of ignorance-based reasoning?

What are the implications of the statement that B could know A's number?

What reasoning leads to the conclusion that the override code must be five and four?
