TED-ED: Can you solve the control room riddle? - Dennis Shasha

The video tutorial presents a mission to infiltrate a pyramid and deactivate a death ray. The challenge involves solving a riddle using graph theory to find the control panel hidden on a specific floor. The tutorial explains the pyramid's structure, the conditions for the control panel room, and how to apply graph theory to solve the problem. It also provides an overview of graph theory and its applications in various fields. The mission concludes with the successful deactivation of the death ray and a humorous note on cryptic surveillance information.
