TED-Ed: Can you solve the giant cat army riddle? - Dan Finkel

A team of secret agents must solve a puzzle to escape Dr. Schrödinger's trap. The control panel has three buttons: add 5, add 7, and take the square root. The goal is to display the numbers 2, 10, and 14 in order without repeating numbers, exceeding 60, or showing non-whole numbers. The agents use strategic additions and square roots to solve the puzzle and escape, ultimately capturing Dr. Schrödinger.
