- [Narrator] Most of us like to think with the right skills and equipment, we could do a pretty good
job of defending our homes. But without actually being under threat, it's pretty hard to be sure. This video changes all of that. So get ready to channel
your inner Kevin McCallister with these riddles that'll
put your trap making skills and defensive common sense
to the ultimate test. (happy music) Number 10, Warm welcome. Left alone in your
parents' enormous mansion on a snowy winter's day. You're alarm, to notice some
bumbling burglars outside. Their faces are pressed
against the iron fence as they grip the bars, scouting out an easy way into your home. Luckily, you've set up some
trams to keep burglars at bay. Which of these setups
have you put in place to protect your home? A, this one involving gasoline
and a sparking live wire that you can switch on from the house. B, this one involving
gasoline and fireworks, or C, this one just using
a sparking live wire you can switch on from the house. (clock ticking) Fireworks and gasoline are certain to create a fiery explosion to keep those burglars at bay. And a live wire and the gas but all create the similar effect too. But notice the trail of gasoline
leading back to the house on those two options? That seems like a house fire
waiting to happen to me. Choosing the wire on its
own is the best choice. See how it's touching the iron fence, as soon as it's switched on, the burglars gripping the fence will get a nasty welcome shock. Number nine, Handle it. Unfortunately, despite the shock, the burglars jump the fence
and bust the front door down. They root around looking for valuables and head for the living room. Little do they know, this is exactly where you'd hope they'd go as you've set up a trap for them. You've rigged up a live
wire from the mains, propping it up near the
conductive metal door knob which they'll turn to enter the room. The door handle rotates
clockwise in this setup and you've welded five
inch iron nails to it. But which arrangement of nails will guarantee a shocking turn of events as they open the door? A, like this. B, like this, or C, like this. (clock ticking) If you paid attention to the setup, you'll have notice the cabinet
right next to the door. The length of the nails would mean that even though set up C's upper nail is closest to the wire, the other nail will get
stuck on the cabinet while the handle is being turned. This will stop the motion short. Option B's nail would likewise get stuck and wouldn't turn far enough. The only option is option A, which has nothing stopping
it making the connection. (shocking sound) Number eight, Number 1 fan. After a nasty shock, the burglars
give up on the living room and head into the kitchen, where your remote operated
smart fan is waiting for them. You can activate it from
the safety of your hand out, when the burglars enter. So how have you modified it so that it turns into a
painful trap when switched on? A, tie a string around one
of the blades like this, attaching the other end
to an anvil on a shelf. B, attach some plastic
bags to a spiked bat and hang it from the
ceiling in front of the fan, or C, tie a string around
one of the fan blades attaching the other end to a metal pot, containing some bubbling
water resting on a hot plate on a shelf. (clock ticking) Granted the baseball bat
plastic bag fan system might get some movement as the plastic bag catches
the smart fans air, but the fan wouldn't be able
to push the bat hard enough to deliver a painful blow. Similarly, the fans motor
wouldn't be powered enough to pull an anvil off a
shell and onto an intruder. A pot of boiling water on the
other hand is much lighter and reasonable enough to pull down. Plus, the splash radius is pretty large likely giving the burglars
a blistering wash down. Number seven, High-voltage deterrents. Despite the burns, the
burglars press onward into the dining hall. Using a car battery, uninsulated
conductive metal wires and jumper cables. You've devised yet another trap. Which option is most
likely to bring the pain when they enter through
the dining hall door? A, a large iron stew pot propped
above the half open door, wired up to the car battery. B, uninsulated metal wire pulled tight across the
bottom of the doorframe, connected to the car battery. Or C, a dozen iron kitchen
chairs flipped and arranged into an obstacle course wired
up in a series to the battery. (clock ticking) Iron is a very good conductor. So the chairs could
certainly be electrified but the burglars could dodge them easily. The electrified tripwire
along the doorframe would be fairly easy to spot, and the current induced by the
battery might melt the wire before it can deliver a shock. The electrified pot above the
doorframe on the other hand, is likely to hit them as it falls and could even land on a burglar's head. Either way, it'll give
them a nasty electric jolt when it makes contact. Number six, Chopper pilot. The thieves have retreated to
the grand hall of your mansion to recoup. And such an enormous open space. You decide it's the perfect time to bring out your great big one-eighth scale radio
controlled helicopter. You're an expert at flying it, but what modification did you make to it to turn it into a painful weapon? A, hang one of your
dad's large kettlebells from the bottom like a tooth
smashing wrecking ball. B, no modification, or C, attach your dad's pair
of nunchucks to the propellers. (clock ticking) Well, high speed rotating nunchucks would be a terrifying thing to encounter. Attaching them to
perpendicular rotors like that would throw the copter way off balance, it wouldn't even be able
to leave the ground. The kettlebell similarly
would keep it grounded or impossible to control. One eighth size RC copters
are certainly powerful but lifting heavy weights like that will be an unnecessary challenge. Leaving the copter as is,
is perfectly good enough. Even adding nothing, when you fly the machine
down into the hall, its rotors will be extremely dangerous. They are sure to give the
burglars a very clean shave, or worse, depending on
how you fly the thing. Number five, Firework Fun. After a few painful propeller chops, the burglar smash your
helicopter with a vase, destroying it. Luckily, you've got a
healthy stack of fireworks to use as backup. You're at the top of the stairs and can see into three rooms, each with a different burglar inside. With the aim of the sharp shooter, who do you launch a firework at? A, the burglar in the garage. B, the burglar in a small walk-in closet filled with old dusty
books, antiques and rugs, or C, the burglar in the walk-in freezer stealing a Christmas turkey. (clock ticking) With all that highly flammable
gasoline stored in there, a firework is the last thing you wanna send hurtling into the garage. And all those old dusty
items in the closet are almost equally as
likely to go up in flames, as the gasoline in the garage. A freezer on the other hand will be a much more controlled
environment for blasting. Plus, those icicles on the ceiling could land you some bonus
points if they fall down. Number four, Step to it. Finally, realizing how
much of a threat you are, the robbers head to the
stairs, they're coming for you. So which DIY defense will be most useful. A, roll grandma's mobility
scooter decked out with knives in all angles down the stairs. B, poke a hole in your dad's
favorite whiskey barrel and roll it down the stairs, throwing some burning
matches along with it. Or C, shoot six millimeter
metal ball bearings out of your sister's
bright pink Airsoft pistol. (clock ticking) While grandma's deadly
vehicle is a terrifying sight, it probably won't stay up right while tumbling down the stairs. And anyway, the burglars
will probably dodge it. The whiskey barrel can be similarly dodged but there's the added danger to yourself of setting the house on fire, if the matches catch the alcohol. Your sisters Airsoft
gun on the other hand, firing metal BBs, is not
only going to hit fast, it'll hit hard. Normal plastic BBs are the same size as the ball-bearings you've found, but are about one fifth the weight. Although, the projectile will be slower, it'll still hurt the intruders. A few pop shots from this will
definitely slow them down. Number three, Closet capers. You will eventually let
the burglars come upstairs before launching a full offensive of BBs, driving them into a walk-in closet. Well, in their case,
it's a running closet. The closet is 15 feet
long and contains nothing but a wildly old antique
book case at the end. Which item choice will ensure
their entry to the closet is made particularly unpleasant? A, two nails and four
feet of sturdy metal wire. B, a three and a half pint
industrial bottle of peanut oil, or C, seven mouse traps. (clock ticking) Sure, seven mouse traps
will hurt a barefoot but these guys have shoes on. And besides, you can do better. Making a trip wire across the
doorframe would be a good idea but they'd probably see it. And even if they didn't, they'd
only fall onto the floor. You'll do the most damage
by getting them to fall into the bookcase. If you lay down some peanut oil, which is hard to see on dark wood floor, there's a high chance
they'll slip and slide straight into the bookcase
as they run into the room. When they do, chances are, at least one of the three
bowling balls on top will be knocked straight
down on top of them. Number two, Bear trap trickery. While the burglars recover, it's time to utilize your dad's bear trap. You lure the burglars into the attic where you've set up a trap for them. Which is the best way to use
the bear trap after you set it? A, hold it in your hand, read&y to throw. B, hide it in an open storage chest under lots of expensive luxurious clothes, or C, place it under a velvet pillow with a large diamond sat on top inside a hinge glass type cabinet. (clock ticking) Considering how sensitive they are, holding a loaded bear trap like that, is almost certainly going to lead to you getting chomped
by the big metal teeth. The clothing filled storage
chest is a decent choice for snapping the burglars if
they go rummaging through, but their attention is much more likely to be grabbed by the diamond. Of course, if you've locked the cabinet, the quickest way for
them to get the diamond will be to remove the glass. When they, do the added pressure
will set off the bear trap on the hand of the unlucky
sticky fingered thief. Number one, A swift exit. After your last trap, it's time
to make the burglars leave. Luckily, there's a window in the attic which will provide a quick exit point to the soft snowy ground below, if you can force them out of it. The attics walls are bare
except for the boiler and there are only a few usable items. There's a water gun, an
enormous hot sauce collection, an old functional propane barbecue, and a series of metal
tubes connected to a hose. What have you prepared to drive them out? A, combine the water gun and hot sauce. B, turn on the barbecue
gas and get out of there, or C, try to combine the barbecue
with the metal tube hose. (clock ticking) Turning on the barbecue gas
isn't going to achieve much in a short period of time. If you left it running for
a long time beforehand, as the room slowly filled with gas, the boilers pilot light
could blow the roof off. Blowing your house up isn't exactly the best kind of home
defense, just saying. A hot sauce filled water gun
would undoubtedly cause agony and sprayed in a burglar's eyes. But it probably won't be dangerous enough to force them out of the window. Combining the barbecue and
the strange tube device on the other hand, now
there's some controlled chaos. That strange device is actually
a garden weed killer torch and attaches to any standard propane tank. If you detach the barbecue's
gas hose from the propane tank and the weed torch to the tank instead, you'll have a propane flame
thrower on your hands. With the torch's easily
adjustable flame intensity and built in sparker, you'll be able to fire
controlled burst at the burglars, driving they're terrified
behind straight out the window. Onto a cushy pile of snow granite. But at the soft landing
won't change the fact that these guys are never
coming back to your place. Were you able to figure out all
of these tricky trap riddles and save your house? If not, which one caught you out? Let me know in the comments
section down below. Thanks for watching ya filthy animals. (upbeat music)
