Upside Down Glasses Challenge

Today we put on these

glasses

that turn everything

upside

down and play some games. Let's do that. ♪ (musical theme) ♪ Good Morning Míticos. If you paid any attention in biology class, you probably know how the eyeball works. It sees something and then the lens of your eyes flips it so your brain receives a signal in reverse. In fact, it is theorized that during the first few days of your birth you see things

upside

down until your brain learns to flip the images and see the right side. - That's an interesting phenomenon. - Actually. - So reality is inverted? - No. - And I just don't experience it that way? - No, I don't think you understand.

I think you have the opposite view of what I just said. You see the image upside down and then your brain flips it. Now, there's a man named George Stratton. In the 1890s, he invented a pair of

glasses

that truly turned the world upside down. Very similar to the ones we have obtained from the Internet, right here in Link's hands. - These also turn it left and right. Yes. So what ends up happening? He wore these things for eight days, and after the fifth day, his brain started spinning backwards to show him that his brain could take an upside-down image and turn it around. down and then turn it over again... - ...so that it's face up. - That's pretty surprising.

So we're going to try to see if we can do that, what he did in eight days, in a matter of minutes. - Uh, well, let's see how well we can see the world upside down. I don't think our brains change it in time. I only wore them for a little while yesterday and I was quite embarrassed. Link has never worn them...he has never worn them. I'm going to put them on now with the thing on top, and then we'll have... Oh, my God. So they're up right now. I'm going to remove the hair from my eyes so I can see this thing.

And I'm going to place this GoPro here, on the top of my head. - So you can see what Link is seeing. -The view of him upside down. - Help me with this. - Actually, I don't think this will surprise you - Is it going to work? left and right. I think he just turns it around. - Oh really? - I don't know. You are the judge of this. - I'm going to throw both things away. - Forward. Now, you may have to adjust those little bars to fit your eyes. - Oh. Where are you? - Right here. (Link) It's like he's looking down to find you. (Rhett) High five, Link. - (weak slap) - (laughing) Ho, not so hard, friend. - High ten. - (Link) My field of vision is very narrow. - (offscreen team laughing) - You look like a malfunctioning robot. - (Rhett laughing) - (Link laughs) What? - The more I try... - (Rhett) It's okay.

Very well, as you can see, - It's like my head wants to go... - We are not made to work this way. So now let's play some games to exploit this even more. We'll play three different games, three different

challenge

s, increase the point levels each round and see who sees the upside better. This is me. You don't have to touch me. Alright. Keep your hands on you. (Rhett) Round One: The Writing Challenge So, Link. All you have to do is write your name. (Rhett and crew offscreen laughing) - Hold him. - Oh, do you want me to hold it?

You hold it and then you give me a pen and I'm supposed to write. Okay, well, I thought you were going to put it on the table. Here is the pen. (Rhett laughing) - (laughing) This is crazy, guys! - Here we go. Now, write your name. You've done this many times before. Just link, okay? - I know how to write my name! - Whoever writes their name best wins the round. (Everyone on and off screen laughs) - (Rhett) Are you kidding me? - (Link) is there a time limit? - Because don't start it yet. - 5 seconds starting... now.

That's an "L." - (Link) This is difficult. - Excellent work so far. I can't even find... - (Eddie offscreen) Time's up! - Okay, stop, stop, stop! That last little thing doesn't count. I'm going to delete it. -What what? - Because you did it after time. - That? - This is what you did. - So, can I turn it over? I'm going crazy. - "Lina." (Link laughing) I spelled my name wrong! No, there was going to be a "k" there. - That was pretty good. - I deleted that part. - I did pretty well. - It was actually pretty good.

It's... this is... I mean, talk about disorientation. - Let's change! - Pretty cool. - (whistling sound) - Alright, here we go. - It's your turn. - (offscreen team laughing) You're very cautious holding that thing. It's not going to bite you. - Wait. Which side... - Yes, there you have it. - (Rhett) Okay. - Okay, then you're going to... - you're going to write your name. - I'm getting sick almost immediately. (Link) How many fingers am I holding up? None. You are holding a sign. (laughs) I'm holding on... it's not a sign. It's a blackboard. - Okay, I'm going to write my name. - 15 seconds, 14, 13…. - (Rhett laughing) - (Link) What?

What are you doing? Okay... First it's an "R"... - (Rhett laughing) - (Link) What? - (loud voice) How did you do this? - I don't know. - (both laughing) - Okay. - Turn it around. - Oh! - How did you do it...? - It's like you did it... - (Rhett laughs out loud) - ...a cryptic artist's signature. How did you write your name for...? Look, I wrote... "Bid-da-bee?" - "Determined". To be determined! - Your name is still up in the air. - Okay, that round is for Link. - (correct ding) (Rhett) Second round: The pouring

challenge

.

In this challenge, I will try to pour... - By the way, you look like a superhero. - Thanks, Link. Here to save the day. Actually, I'm just here to pour some liquids. I'm going to pour liquids into a bottle that Link is holding over a bucket. - The spill challenge. -And the winner is whoever has the most liquid in his bucket, er, in his bottle. (Rhett) Where is...? I have no idea where to look to see something. (Link) Here you go. Here is your orange liquid. Take that. - Grab it. Get the orange liquid. - I'm going through a very difficult time. - I'm not playing with this at all. - Then we will see who can put the most liquid in a bottle in 15 seconds. - (Rhett) You're going to put it...

Okay, I'm going to put this here, so I'll do it. I am also my lap. Alright. Pour this... start higher. And go. - (team offscreen laughing) - (Link) Pour. Pour! 15… 14… 13… 12… 11… 10… - Wait, no, it's not… - 9… 8… 7… 6… - (liquid briefly hitting the bucket) - 5… 4… 3… 2… 1 Very well, that's what you have. You did pretty well. You did a lot of calibrations and let's change them! Alright, Link, it's your turn. I'm putting the big bucket in... Do I look like a superhero too? Well, that wouldn't be my first assumption. Maybe someone will pretend to be one. Well, you can hold your sports drink bottle in front of you.

No, that's my bottle. There in front of you. - Well. - It's in front of you, - (Rhett) in front of your thing. Yes. - (Link) Oh wow. (Rhett) Now, I'm going to give you 14 seconds to pour it into your bottle, because that's what you gave me. - (Team off screen laughing) I'm going to give you three seconds to prepare: 1… 2… 3… - 14… 13… 12.. 11… - (Team off screen laughing) - 10… 9… 8… 7… - (everyone on and off screen laughing) - 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… - (high-pitched voice) I can't do it! I know I'm missing it, but I can't help it! You have a drink in there.

You have a small level of backwash. What happened? I know I missed everything. You put it here. And you kept saying "Whoooaa!" I should have. You said "Wow!" I lost... Listen, I'm not pretending. I just lost fairly. - Well. I got two points for that round. - (correct ding) You really calibrated. You found the lip and then you said, "glug glug glug glug glug." - Yes. Technique, brother! - I mean, maybe I'll call it cheating. - Very good, I'm winning two to one. This third round is three points. Whoever wins the third round (loud) takes it home! (Rhett) Round Three: The Obstacle Challenge.

Well, since Rhett is leading two to one, he will go first in this final round, the hurdles round. We have three obstacles of increasing height. You have to eliminate them without eliminating them within a time limit of 20 seconds. Whoever knocks down the fewest obstacles in 20 seconds wins three points in that round. - Giving me a thumbs down in the face. - At this moment it's anyone's game. - In my world it is disapproved. - (offscreen team laughing) (Link) Stevie, you're going to count down from 20 looking at 5... 4... 3... 2... 1! - (Stevie off screen) 20… 19…18.. - Oh yeah, be careful. - (Stevie) 17… 16… 14… 13... - Okay.

You just knocked those two down! - (Link) You are totally failing! - (Rhett) Wait, where's the next one? (Link) I'm not going to tell you. You better start stepping up, buddy. - (Link) High step. Oh! - 12… 11… 10… 9... - Oh, you made it clear. - Oh, I have one?! - Okay that's fine. - Have I already passed one? You cleaned one without touching it. These other two you completely demolished. - (Rhett) Oh, did I hit the first one? - (Link) You stepped over this one and then came back and stepped on that one. So I need to get through at least two to be able to win this whole game.

But I got over the big one. That has to serve a purpose. - (offscreen team laughing) - It counts for something. My turn. Alright, now it's Link's turn. Link, all you have to do is complete two of these successfully and take home the prize. (Link) When I look down, my feet are in front of me. Okay, you have 20 seconds to beat two, starting at 3… 2… 1… go! - (Rhett) 20… 19… - (Stevie) 20… 19… 18… 17… - (block hits) - (everyone on and off screen laughs) - (Rhett) Okay, you basically lost. - (Link) What is happening? You took down two. Just try to top the last one, and I'll call it a tie. - (offscreen team laughing) - Oh, okay.

Now I have detected it. - Yes Yes. "Now I've es--" Wow, you're not even close to that. You're using the... oh, interesting technique... - No! I'm sorry. - That? - I guess I win the reverse challenge! - I feel crazy! I just want to be freed from these glasses! I don't care who wins! Ah! Very good, Rhett. Congratulations. You win. - ♪ (celebratory trumpet music) ♪ - Your brain is a little more adaptable. You win a pineapple upside down cake. Here, enjoy. Here is the spoon. Grab it and dig deeper. Just do it. Don't be so cautious. - (Rhett) Oh God. - Take it to your mouth and enjoy it.

Use your other hand to place it there. - Now put it there in your mouth. - (team offscreen laughing) - That's good. - Hmm! It's backwards and everything! - In these glasses it is face up. - That was a bad experience. Thank you for liking and commenting on this video. - Do you know what time it is. - (Link breaks) - I'm Chelsea. -And I'm Jared. We're from Charleston, South Carolina, we're at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythology. - ♪ (Music from Wheel of Mythicality) ♪ - (Rhett) We could use more wheel endings.

See how good they are for having malleable brains. - (Altering the syllables of "malleable") - (Rhett) This is not going to be easy. Rhett, what's the bottom line for this episode? (Rhett) Uh, is it on the green? - (Link) "Rhett..." - (Rhett) "Rhett... thinks... he..." - (Rhett) "is... a... caa..." - (Link) "computer ..." (Rhett) "computer... but... Link... That-thinks... it's... a carrot!" Link, I just realized. (cough) I'm pretty sure I'm a computer. What... You look pretty orange for a computer, dude!

Wow! - Made a lot of carotene? - What do you mean? (forced laughter) You're obviously a carrot! - (offscreen team laughing) - Oh, yeah, that's right. I am a carrot. Yes. Thanks for clarifying that.
