A riddle of ice and fire dragons - Henri Picciotto

Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd

--

Its your first day as Center Realms official cartographer, and youve already got a big problem. Center Realm is home to three elder dragons: two ice, one fire, and theyve lived in harmony for centuries. But scouts have sighted three fire dragons and five ice dragons flying towards the region. Can you figure out where to place the new dragons? Henri Picciotto shows how.

Lesson by Henri Picciotto, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.
