Trying To Cut Things Perfectly In Half

How hard is it to cut things into perfect halves? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Splitting a check, an atom. and child custody. Easy or hard? Hard. Easy. Hard. Okay, what about splitting a pretzel perfectly in half like this? Oh, my goodness.

There's some precision that's happening here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. This is pro. Well, this is pro-splitting, Link. Look at that. Yeah, it is. Perfect halves. Point zero four four Schlag den Henssler. Now, if you are as enticed by that as I was when I saw it on the internet, then you're in for a treat, because that was Stefen Henssler, or Stefen Henssler. of the German game show Beat the Henssler, successfully cutting a pretzel in two perfecter halves than his opponent.

And he made it look easy, but the question is, can we? We're gonna put our much less German hands to use in order to find out. Cause it's time for. "Wanna Go Perfect Halfsies". Welcome to the Slicey, Dicey, Cleanly, and Nicely Zone. How's this gonna work, Stevie? Okay, khaki wearers, you're going to alternate trying to cut items perfectly in half. Both halves don't need to look the same, but they need to weigh the same,

and for everyone's safety, Rhett's going first, but will you be cutting with a hand saw or a sickle? Which is a word I don't often get to say. Sickle. Yeah, sickle. Sickle. To decide. Link, you are going to flip the coin. So, go ahead and do that. Okay. Nice flip. Heads! A sickle it is. So if you fail, then Link will have to eat the nasty half of the food under that cloche,

so go ahead and lift that up. Oh, man. We are team, huh? Yeah, we're a team. It's a Twinkie. My friend, is a malic acid Twinkie on the bad side, a good Twinkie on the other side. It all depends on how this goes. And, Lucas, why don't you come on out and bring the first item that Rhett will be cutting. here. Oh, my God. What is that? I think it's a jackfruit. That is a durian.

fruit. Oh, we, stank, isn't it? And. to make things not impossible, we've also given you joint access. to an account at Weights. Fargo. With sixteen ounces to use to buy yourself a little wiggle room. So. if you withdraw five ounces, then that means you can still win the round. As long as. the two halves weigh within five ounces of each other. That's just an example. You know, what I'm saying? Yeah. Okay, so,

for this round, would you like to withdraw any ounces? Well, I mean, can he touch it? Is that against the rules? He can touch it. I prefer if he touches it, actually. Can I touch it? You can touch it. It's very prickly. I need gloves. That is a dangerous fruit, and then when you cut it open, it's gonna smell like rotten flesh, right? Yeah. That's just an added bonus. I don't know how much this thing weighs. It's not. Symmetrical. Symmetrical at all. Oh, man. I don't want to use,

I think maybe we should just take four ounces. Just take four sixteen. A fourth of our. ounces, just, why not? Okay. I think this is a difficult one. This is a difficult one, but I do have a sickle. Which makes it easy. What are you supposed to cut with a sickle, like? Wheat, chaff? Chaff, chaff. Wheat, wheat. This will chafe you. Barley. Barley, wheat, and other. Four. I'm going with a four ounce discrepancy. Please begin your sickle cutting. The problem is,

I'm trying to find what I think is the weight, sort of split of this thing. Cause the problem is there's three. sort of. sections to it. I'm gonna go one side of the stem. How are you even gonna? I don't even know how it works. Like, it misses it, because it goes. Look, it goes. It goes right over it. Like, what am I supposed to do? Do I have to drop it on it? You're getting cutting advice from me. How does that make you feel? And then you just, you know, just start shaving.

That's working. That's working. Start shaving it. Okay. Oh, and then, yeah, bring it up right through your hand. Sideways, sideways. There you go. Oh, that thing is sharp, homie. Hell, yeah it is. Look at that. Okay, hold on. I'm getting very close here. Now, you're not even thinking. You just got excited, because you were successfully cutting. I gotta make a hard left. Making a new. When that thing comes out, it's gonna, that's gonna go right into your. eyeball.

Why am I the safety officer all of a sudden? This is so strange. Again, this is the. Oh, there you go. Okay. All right, give me. Just give me this half. You take that half, and we're gonna put it down on here. And how do you feel. about this? Cause I don't have any confidence. Not great. That you tried, at all. I tried to, like hell, son. Okay, I'm gonna put it. Put it. Put it on flat like this. All right, here we go. Three, two, one.

Two ounce difference! Two pounds, five ounces. Two pounds, seven ounces. They call me the sickle boy. So, thank you so much. Here's the thing. Take everything back you ever said about me. I've never said anything about you. Get over here and watch me eat this nice Twinkie. You said it looked like I wasn't trying. Oh, yeah. That readjustment I made in the middle, that was the key. Okay, we've gotten here quicker than I thought because.

it's Link's turn. I can't believe this is happening. You've designed something where I have to use sharp objects -to cut things. Can Link get a knife exemption, Stevie? Unfortunately, yeah. I mean, that's how it's going to have to go. It can't just be a whole game of Rhett cutting things. So, you have an official knife exemption. This lasts indefinitely as long as I can demonstrate. No, you get one. No, it's only,

it's today only. It's today only. No, I think it's just this round, and then we'll see how it goes. Today. All day. All day. All day. Sure. You will be cutting this lovely piñata. And. will you cut it with a hatchet. or a Swiss Army Knife, is the question. Rhett, go ahead and flip the coin. Tails. Swiss Army Knife it's gonna be. Hey, you know what? This would have been so fun. Okay, you don't have any exemption. We can revoke your rights at any time,

sir. Okay, good. So, if you fail, Link, Rhett go ahead and uncloche what you will be. Oh, quesadillas, I love them. Quesadilla, one of them's burnt. Is that the problem? One of them is haggisified. Oh, come on. That's the problem. Hey, listen. You trust me? I'm a. guy who thought he was. Scottish at one point, who's now Irish. He didn't even know what he thought he was. Yeah, right. Okay, let's go. So you're saying that you like haggis? I'm saying that I'm prepared to eat it, cause I don't have a lot of confidence.

Well, I'm gonna. Hey. Hey. Oh, it's got candy in it, which is to your advantage, Link. Would you like to withdraw anything from the Weights Fargo? Yeah, he does. Yeah, he would. What? No, I'm feeling super conf. Okay. No, you can't have zero ounces. You're not gonna get it. If I got it perfect. You're not going to. You did four. You only needed two. Ooh.

Oh, this thing is heavy. It's full of candy. Shake it around. Okay. How like? Cause when you open. See, those two ain't the same. No, they didn't. They weigh zero. They didn't even register. One on each. So, yeah. What's the rule about the candy? Cause you could just take all the candy out and get it out of the equation. That's a good idea. Let's just leave that between me and you. No, I mean, let's, let's do the fair thing here. You gotta cut it, and the candy's gotta be equal.

I'm thinking, I'm gonna, cause when I cut, candy's just gonna fall out. I mean, let's be real. Here's the problem. If this was all equal mass, cutting it right here, I think, would be equal. But the problem is that there's so. much candy right here, and there's no room for candy in there. Now, all the candy's in the horse's head. Oh, okay. What if you just put all the candy in the horse's head, then cut it right here? That's too. Why can't I do some of the thinking? Well, you're not saying anything. Cause you don't shut up long enough for me to play.

This is my round. I get to cut things. I get to think about things. I'm the one facing the consequences. All right, so. So how. are you withdrawing any ounces? All right, I will say nothing from this point on and see how it goes. This is very heavy, so. I gotta say six, man. Okay, six.

Okay. Let's see, we're already. I'm already losing some candy. Candy, candy. We're losing some candy. Okay. Oh, man. This is just visceral. Okay, there we go.

Okay, so we've got that. Don't touch yet. So I think that this. is good. Okay. You ready? Can I just say, this feels very heavy. I know. Yeah. Hey, there's a lot of candy in here. Can we maybe exchange a little bit? Let me see that. Okay, we got groans... We got groans from the judges.

And you said you weren't gonna say anything for the rest of the round. Yeah. yeah, yeah. Ouch. Yeah. This is a full two pound difference. Two pound differential. That's a lot of ounces. That's thirty ounces of difference, is it not? That was beyond our. you know what, as a faithful. It was a good idea, though. It was a great idea. Link, which one's the bad one? The dark one? Sorry, Rhett.

I believe so. I tried so hard to listen to myself, but you were talking too much. It's horrible. It smells. I don't want to disappoint my ancestors. It smells so sweet. I love it. I love it. Hey, once you finish here, you should go over to the Mythical Kitchen and check out the video where. Emily. is finally able to cook, and she's gonna try to convince an unsuspecting judge that she's actually a.

chef. Can she do it? I don't know. Okay, it's Rhett's turn again. You're gonna be cutting that giant teddy bear over there, and. you're either gonna use fabric shears or a utility knife. So, Link, flip the coin. Hopefully fabric shears. Cause it's fabric. That bear looks. way too relaxed for what's about to happen to him. He has no idea. Heads. Fabric shears. Yes. And let's see. That's nice.

I'm loving it. What Link has to eat. Oh, you love pretzels. But one of these pretzels has a. dark dip. And that dip is very. spicy, sir. Oh, crap. Very spicy. Well, the wonderful thing about a bear is it is perfectly. symmetrical. Oh, yes. So. you want to go, like, the open heart surgery route. Perfect cut. Now, I don't know how well made this is. Poor guy. His right cheek's a little bigger.

Pretty even pecs. It's a pretty symmetrical bear. How much do you want to wager from the bank? But I got to somehow. cut through the bow. There's a zipper in the back I got to make decisions. about. I would suggest just unzipping it. We have six ounces left for. two rounds. We don't know what the last round is going to be. Let's just. take our chances and go three ounces. You don't want to leave any more for me? I mean, this is a giant bear. You want me to go two ounces? But it's light, so. Okay, two ounces. Give me two ounces.

I'll leave four for Link. You can do it, man. You can do it. Okay, let's. Here, could you grab that? Of course. I would actually, like, spend the whole bank right now, actually. Why? Cause I don't have to eat anything in the last round. You don't have to. I'm not going to. Now, I'm just here for moral support. This is not moral. Okay. This is very immoral what's happening to you. Anesthesia, please. Cause there's nothing.

Cause this is not gonna be fun for this bear. Now I'm gonna have to, gotta find the exact seam. Oh, yep. Yep. That didn't feel good, did it? Oh, look at this. So all of the stuffing is exposed, going right through the bow. And then I'm gonna just stuff evenly on each side. Let's keep them like this, and let's just go face. This is the type of thing that, like, kids get taken out of class for, you know?

Flip the patient. I mean, it's, it's all gonna. So, you're gonna unzip it? I'm gonna cut to the zipper. Zipper goes from here to here. You think you'd ever want to be a surgeon? Yeah, I think so. I want to be a vet, actually. I want to be a bear vet. I think you're more of a. I'm a national park guy. I think you're more of a coroner, actually. Now, all right. So, I put the. On the right side, we've got the zipper.

Okay, this patient has been split. Okay, now. the stuffing is. This gives us our line. I think I gotta just cut the stuffing. You wanna just cut through the stuffing? Yes, yes. That's good. It's mushy in there, isn't it? This is where the other tool would be helpful. Okay. This is actually good. Oh, what's that? Is that the front of the bear? Yeah. You're doing it, man. Oh, what?

That's the table. You're looking at the table. He's like, why is there wood in the bear? Okay, so. Are we gonna donate him to science afterward? Cause I think there's. plenty to learn. Hold on, before, you take this away. Yeah. Just trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. It ain't gonna happen. Okay. I feel good about this slice. Can you just take this whole patient? Half a patient, I mean. You gotta keep it together.

Gotta keep it together. This is my side. I'm just gonna. Oh, we have a tray, so. Oh, there we go. Here's his face right there, if you wanna see that. The tail's on the ground, that might make a difference. Should it go on my side or your side? Your side. Yeah, you had the. Okay, here we go. Some of this came off. This goes on your side. Go ahead. Two point seven. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me get him on there. Let me get him on there. I gotta get him on.

Gotta get it all on there. Come on. It looks like a lot more, dude. Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. It's the balance. It's the balance. It's the balance. It's the balance. Two point seven. to three point one. Oh, I needed four ounces and I only had two. No, I needed way more than that. Two point seven? I'm ten ounces off. How is that possible? Oh, the zipper. The zipper. The zipper's the heaviest thing. We didn't think about the zipper.

Craps. Now I gotta eat this. You blew it. I failed. I really thought you had it, dude. I mean, that was, like, straight down. I felt so good about it. The stuffing really, really threw me for a loop. It's probably not that hot. Do it for your ancestors. Oh, my God. Yeah. What did you do? It tastes. It's hot, but it's also nasty.

Okay, final round, and Link, you're going to be cutting a wedding cake with either. hedge trimmers or a machete. Go ahead and flip the coin. Oh, man, I am burning. My nose is burning. It's like I snorted it. Tails. Machete, oh, boy. Okay, what's up for grabs. I would have been happy with either, honestly. What is this? Some sort of? There's a.

That's a nice little brownie. Coffee cake? A blondie. A blondie. Oh, it's unfortunate, because. that is a beef bile. blondie. Yeah. Okay. Well, you know what? Your fate is in my hands, dude. Grab the machete. Grab the machete. Grab the machete. I got it, dude. Okay. I got this. You know, remember I used to use a machete a lot, in the woods and all, like, chops. Could you not gesture with it for a moment? Now, I'm gonna put it around my hand. See? Safety first. So, what are you thinking here? I'm thinking these, this couple's gonna get a divorce.

I'm gonna split this couple right down the middle. Are you gonna go precision, or are you gonna let go and let God? Well, you went precision, and you see where that got me? With, like, a runny nose, and an extremely hot mouth. I have been told. that the, you know, in these wedding cakes, there's these cardboard layers, and so you've got cardboard layers stacked in there that you have to get. through. So it kind of get kind of smushy if you try to do precision. I want to do a round, a roundhouse. No, it's just a cake.

Maybe my left hand, but I'll keep this one with the. How about two hands? Like axe throwing. Oh, two hands, yeah, yeah. Boom. Just, like, totally, like, draw. Now, see, you're gonna miss the very end. That's perfect. Okay, I'm gonna go back here. Oh, that's it. That's it. That's it. Is that too much? What you wanna do is try to divorce that couple, and then, like, think about that, that couple's kissing. You want them to stop kissing. Stop kissing. And you wanna boom, all the way down to the foundation. All right, here we go.

I don't want you to eat that. Yeah, I don't want to eat it either. I believe in you. Oh, God. Okay. All right. Well, that's not gonna do it. Remember, it can be more than one, more than one stroke. Well, at this point, I feel like you need to. Now you need to think about. what you've done. Watch out, I'm coming around. You want me to stand in a corner and think about what I'm doing? Now I'm gonna hit again, so.

You're not gonna use precision at this point? I'm gonna go, I'm going like this now. Oh, God. There's no chance. And then. Yeah, yeah. Okay. You want me to take this off? Take this top part off. Put the tray over there, move closer. Boom, there we go. All right, now get back. Okay, so. Well, hold on. You don't want to do. You're gonna take this stuff from the ground and put it on a tray?

Yeah, I gotta do that, too. And then I think that I need half. How much of this do? I'm just gonna cut it. Well, hold on. Well, before you do that, you got two thirds of the second layers on this. So, I need a little bit more of the bottom. than half. So, the bigger part. You want the bigger bottom to be on that side. Which it will be. Well, it seems like you're kind of in the middle there. Like, I think you need to go,

like, right here. I'm going at an angle. No, I'm going at an angle. Exactly. Yeah, you want the big side on that side. Now, you see? No, you've done it, you've done it wrong. Cause you, you got too much on this side. We wanted more, we wanted. We wanted more on this side. No, we wanted more on this side. We wanted more on that side. You got more on this side. Ow, I just hit my finger. Oh, there's blood. Ow, ow, ow. I'm losing a finger.

Okay, let's get this over before I'm bleeding too much. Oh, God. Hold the machete. Are you okay? Are you okay? I'm okay. I'm okay. It's a contusion. It's not a cut. You see that? Yeah, I didn't cut myself. I bludgeoned myself. Okay, so take that machete. You might want to use the machete to, like, move the cake at this point. Move the, move the. Oh, gosh. How much does blood weigh? That's going to be on. this side. Here we go.

No, just take the whole thing and pick it up. You don't need the machete anymore. But I like using the machete. Okay. I don't want the tray, though. You want everything on the tray. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That's a good scraper right there. And I'm gonna do this. And now off the floor. I'm gonna do that. Let me see, I need more over here. Okay, here we go. Okay. Yeah, I would say, basically take.

I think you need to take two thirds of that on yours, and you need to give me a third of it, because there's not much. In fact, take all that, and I'll just. take what's on the machete. Yeah, scrape that. And scrape it on mine. Okay, here we go. Four ounces. Oh, this is heavy, dude. This is heavy, too. This is heavy. Four ounces. Yes! Yes! What? What? What?

What? Yes! Yes ! I get a good brownie. Oh. Yes! Oh, yeah. Hey, what is that? Sorry, buddy. Where's your woman at? She's gone. She's gone somewhere. Well, she ain't gonna, guys. Hey, can you believe we did that? I mean, you had to bleed. You had to bleed, but you pulled it off in the end.

Blood, sweat, and tears. You did not have to eat the grossest thing we've had in a long time. What? How exhilarated am I right now? I think I've earned the exemption for the whole year. Well, we'll talk about that. Yes. Call me, Conan. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hi, Rhett and Link. My name's Dave, and we're in Portugal.
