I used this scam in China and scammed myself a shot of rice wine. :)

For reals? that's not like some kind of weird racist joke?
because if so, that kicks ass!
(but not if you're a racist)

Brian,
Haha. Hardly. Definitely not a racist. I happen to enjoy rice wine. That is what we drink in China. :)
Oh yeah.. if you didn't know, I am Chuck.

LOL... just after posting, I realized who you were!
When were you in China? had you learned the trick from the pilots, or had you heard of it previously?

I was in China about a month and a half ago. Yups, you guessed it, I learned it from the pilots. :)

Im presonally loving this show, I've been toying with social engineering but seriously people in my area are so stupid that it lacks a sense of accomplishment.....NOW i can do stuff they will get/want to know. Though i cant drink, medical reasons, but who knows, billy did say they would do ANYTHING to know the answer :-p

I'm digging it too. I really hope this takes off, cause I'd like to see some longer format stuff in this same vein. I've been following Brian a while, and he has a lot of range. Check out this set of clips from one of his college lectures to get an idea... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oChrKsea1Bw

Freaking sweet. This is the legal way to get free things.
Now, could you show me a way to always win at strip-poker? 'cause that would help me out.

We had actually talked about doing a series of videos on how to cheat at poker with your friends... so maybe you'll be in luck!
Another enjoyable episode, cheers :)

Man, I think that guy was wasted. I figured it out before he moved the first quarter. Simply logic would have brought this man a free beer.

I hope Brian teaches us on later episodes that it's easier to scam the wasted than the sober.

I wanted to give an update on last night. I didn't score a free beer. I attempted to three times but my best story is breaking the ice with my friends-girlfriends-friend that I met that night. It instantly killed the awkwardness of hanging around people that you don't know. She really tried, reluctant at first but I worked it well with her for about 7 minutes. When she gave up, she wanted to know. I asked her if the answer was worth a beer but her friend was buying for her. Doh! I told her and we were able to just talk about other things more naturally. I think she'll be coming around a bit more often lol.
For my second try, I had quite a few self purchased drinks in my system and I couldn't remember how to get the answer. lol, it was funny for both of us.
Lastly it provided some late night entertainment while waiting on the girls at a bar I help close down. My friend worked on it for awhile, he is stubborn and wouldn't give up. I showed him the answer, he wanted to try but instantly forgot the steps. Another 5 minutes and he was begging me to show him again. I asked him if it was worth him buying me a beer and he said, "I'll pay your way next time we go to a club." Sweet!
