Summary
Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd--Hundreds of years ago, your ancestor stole a magical tarot deck from Fate herself— and it came with a terrible cost. Once every 23 years, one member of your family must face Fate in a duel with rules only known to your opponent. And every time, generation after generation, the outcome is the same: Fate claims their soul. Today, it’s your turn. Can you defeat Fate? Dan Finkel shows how.Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.This video made possible in collaboration with BrilliantLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnersSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-outsmart-fate-and-break-her-ancient-curse-dan-finkelDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-outsmart-fate-and-break-her-ancient-curse-dan-finkel#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.comMusic: https://www.workplaywork.comEducator's website: https://mathforlove.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
