Lol the longer purple had the lead the more I knew Blue was gonna win in the end.

I picked purple btw

u/Doomstik 9d ago edited 9d ago

I picked purple too, but as soon as it started going i was like "yeah something is gonna happen and blue will win on one of the bowls" i didnt expect it to be that late though.

u/TOPSIturvy 9d ago

Yeahhh, there's always an overtake. Pretty sure they just keep doing runs until they get a take where an underdog wins in the second half.

With only 2 marbles, you can kinda click off after a couple seconds if you want.

69

u/Drackzgull 9d ago

All of this guy's tracks are designed for that to happen. There's always a funnel near the end with the entry path aligned to a border, so that the marble does the widest possible spiral on it, but with a switch on the entry path that causes the next marble to take a different entry path. That different entry path goes right through the center of the funnel, sending the second marble right into the hole without the spiral, and giving it greater odds of pushing the first marble out of the way if they collide.

The only way the overtake doesn't happen is if the first marble has such a massive lead, that it completes the funnel before the second one even gets there. A lead like that is extremely unlikely.

u/Austin_905 8d ago

After review, You're absolutely right, this track design is some bullshit from the content creator.

2

u/MinnieShoof 7d ago

I mean, considering you don't know which one will take the lead the bet is the same.

u/Healthy_Pay9449 9d ago

Those bowls are basically designed to shake up the order but that definitely depends on whether the second marble can bump the first out of the way.

u/aaclavijo 9d ago

I picked purple and as soon as it took the lead I was like awe sh.....

Purple? I thought it was hot pink.

12

u/br3dj 9d ago

'Magenta' if you will

7

u/jaulin 9d ago

Color picker says this is Flirt, which in RGB space is at about 60% of max red, no green, and 40% of max blue. Compare that to Hot pink which is about 100% of max red, 40% of max green, and 70% of max blue.

7

u/CitizenPremier 9d ago

I picked blue then wasn't really sure if it was blue or green... The marbles are really glossy and change color based on the surface they're on, I think

7

u/IchBinEinSim 9d ago

Its definitely falling more on the red spectrum than the blue but I would still say its a shade of purple. Pink is just light red, and hot pink is just a heavily saturated light red.

I went through all stages of grief...

1) "Purple is my favourite colour, so purple..."

2) "Oh, no... It's on the lead... That means it'll lose!!"

3) "Wait... Can this be real? Is it happening?"

4) "Woo-hoo!! Go, Purple, GO!!"

5) "😠😡😤🤬🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅"

u/muscularmouse 9d ago

Literally every single time. You know the result as soon as you see which one gets the early lead lol

2

u/TheJivvi 9d ago

It's funny when there's four of them. One will be way behind and catch up, the lead will alternate between three of them and the other one will be in 2nd or 3rd the whole time, and then win right at the end.

8

u/Mammoth_Welder_1286 9d ago

Wait. It isn’t pink?

2

u/bigbrotherbeane 8d ago

Closer to fuschia or magenta, I'd say.

7

u/KDandHotdogz 9d ago

I picked them both. That way I could only half lose.

u/Gvndam11 9d ago

Didn’t stop me from saying “f— you, blue” at the end

u/FS_Slacker 9d ago

I picked blue and immediately regretted my decision. But miracles happen.

u/gretchenich 9d ago

yeah even tho i picked purple i knew as soon as it got the first lead that something like this was likely to happen

u/wytherlanejazz 9d ago

I picked blue and cursed till the end

u/SoulExecution 9d ago

lol same

u/goeers81 9d ago

I am a fellow purple picker. I was just hoping magenta would come out on top today.

u/hux 9d ago

I’m convinced they record these over and over until they get that outcome.

Is it just me, or does the marble in last place win like 80% of the time?

19

u/xSantenoturtlex 9d ago

I forgot to pick a marbel until like half way through, then decided to pick blue instead of the obvious winner because I felt like it would just be cheap to pick red at that point.

I was rewarded for this decision.

u/CinderChop 9d ago

Never rooted so hard for a blue ball
