Creating lesson...
1
I've been trying to solve the impossible Baldi's Basics question for years.
2
Will you guys help me in the comments?
3
So today, we're finally gonna do it.
4
What is going on TFG squad?
5
My name is Brandon and welcome back to Baldi's Basics.
6
Like I said, I think I finally have the impossible math question figured out.
7
Let's read the story.
8
Urban Legend says the impossible Baldi's Basics math question is not impossible after all.
9
For years, the frustrated gamer has been trying to solve this with thousands of different tries.
10
All have failed.
11
With the help of his army, the TFG squad, Brandon was given a secret which can bring the end to this embarrassing stretch of mathematical failure.
12
Will it work?
13
Let's find out.
14
Hello there Baldi!
15
Oh man, are you going to hate me today?
16
So this is what we're gonna do.
17
We're back in the mod menu today.
18
So if I go to tab and I go down to other modifiers, you guys told me the answer should be 42 and I think you're gonna be right.
19
So if I click here now, it says 42 equals true So let's minimize this bad boy
20
if you guys want to see more baldy's basics on this channel Don't forget to hit
21
that like button and make sure you subscribe to the channel right now Also, let me know what mod you want to see next week, okay?
22
So if I go to the math question Here's the question are all of the answers 42 or just the impossible question?
23
Let let's find out this is gonna be weird Okay, eight plus ten or eight plus two equals ten Okay,
24
okay now we've got four plus four equals eight Okay, and we've got two plus five equals seven So far
25
so good so far so gooey I'll even say okay
26
So it looks like the regular math questions have the regular math answers.
27
Let's get our shiny quarter Thank you so much Baldi.
28
Okay.
29
This is where it starts So what's gonna happen if I get the impossible question right?
30
Is Baldi just gonna stay where he's standing?
31
Is he gonna give me another shiny quarter?
32
Maybe he's gonna give me a million dollars.
33
I don't know.
34
Okay, I'm gonna try it.
35
2 plus 1 equals 3.
36
5 minus 1 equals 4.
37
And gobbledygook plus gobbledygook divided by gobbledygook equals 42.
38
Whoa, not 425.
39
42!
40
Oh!
41
We got it!
42
Guys, it has been three years since I've started playing Baldi's Basics.
43
I finally got the impossible math question.
44
Where's Baldi gonna be?
45
Baldi's still standing here!
46
Okay, you guys know I never beat Baldi's Basics mod.
47
I am so bad at Baldi's Basics mods that I never beat them.
48
If I don't beat it today, I don't know what's gonna happen.
49
Is Baldi still chasing me?
50
So can I leave this area?
51
Am I gonna be able to walk out?
52
I can.
53
Oh My gosh, I'm gonna get every single math question right.
54
I don't even think the other I don't even think the other like people are here.
55
Like I don't think the principal.
56
I don't think playtime I don't think first prize.
57
I don't think any of them are here Well, let's get the let's get the yellow door lock just in case some of them wake up
58
and I want to lock them out This is awesome.
59
Thank you so much for suggesting this mod.
60
You guys are the best.
61
Wait, one of the exits is here already? Can I just leave?
62
Can I get the exits yet?
63
No, I can't.
64
Okay, I still have to get all of them.
65
So here's the other question.
66
When I get all seven notebooks, is Baldi then gonna come after me?
67
Or is he still just not gonna chase me?
68
Because I still haven't gotten a math question wrong.
69
Okay, here we go.
70

74
This is this is the greatest day of my life I know I've said that about 4,000 times on this channel, but this has got to be it This is literally the greatest day of my life.
75
I finally solved the impossible math question All I had to do was cheat by downloading a mod
76
that you guys told me about about basically there's no skill
77
on my part involved okay here we go notebook number four
78
i am loving this i could take my time like i never read the uh the chalkboards

83
Something that I've never even come close to doing.
84
Okay, so we still have our shiny quarter, we still have the yellow door lock, which I'm not going to use yet, and we have the safety scissors.
85
Yeah, no one else is here.
86
No one else is here.
87
None of the school faculty is out right now.
88
And all of the exits are open, which is kind of weird.
89

92
An energy flavored zesty bar better, you know clarify that now we're not gonna get the zesty bar Is this food different?
93

95
Okay, um, it looks like a soda Maybe two round chicken nuggets in tinfoil.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
