The video tutorial explains how to determine the fastest three horses out of 25 using only seven races, given that only five horses can race at a time and no timing devices are available. The process involves initial races to group the horses, followed by a race among the winners to narrow down the fastest. Strategic eliminations are made based on race results, leading to a final race to identify the top three horses. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage with the channel.
