Can you solve the Ragnarok riddle? - Dan Finkel

from TED-Ed · host TED-Ed

Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd/--Ragnarok: The fabled end of the world, when giants, monsters, and Norse gods battle for the future. The gods were winning until the great serpent Jörmungandr emerged. It swallowed Valhalla and contorted itself across the land. Odin has just enough power to strike with one final bolt of lightning, and you have the fabled hammer, Mjölnir. Can you two destroy the serpent? Dan Finkel shows how.Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Artrake Studio.Animator's website: https://www.artrake.comSign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-ragnarok-riddle-dan-finkelThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
