TED-Ed's video: Can you solve the birthday cake riddle - Marie Brodsky

Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd -- Your friend’s birthday is tomorrow, and he’s turning… well… you’ve forgotten. A ginormous cake has been prepared and your job is to sculpt his age as the chocolate centerpiece. The birthday boy is a giant, and you’re afraid that if your forgetfulness becomes known, you’ll become part of the feast. Can you figure out your friend’s age before the party? Marie Brodsky shows how. Lesson by Marie Brodsky, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.
