34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Indeed you are correct. 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Flying walrus. 36 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000 Three is the number of myths we must test in this journey. 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000 The first is underwater blow dart assassination. 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 The second would be this famous one-inch punch. 39 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 And the third, they say we must catch an arrow again. 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000 For we got this wrong the first time. 41 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000 Nice work. 42 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Why thank you. 43 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Unlike the samurai, ninjas don't have a fighting code. 44 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000 They just do whatever it takes to get the job done. 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Their ruthless dispatch of enemies spawned a rich mythology. 46 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000 And that's why they're familiar territory to the mythbusters. 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000 But ninja rep took a nose dive when Adam and Jamie proved ninjas couldn't walk on water. 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Or catch a sword with their bare hands. 49 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Slide straight through. 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,000 And it was zero for three when the boys proved shadow warriors had no show of catching a fly. 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000 And the boys proved that the ninjas were not the only ones who could catch a fly. 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Zero for three when the boys proved shadow warriors had no show of catching a full flight arrow. 53 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Myth is busted, this is what it would take to catch an arrow. 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000 But the fans disagreed and hell has no fury like a ninja fan scorned. 55 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 What did they say we got wrong? 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000 The fans complained that our robo arrow catching hand was way too close to our robo arrow shooting bow. 57 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And that if it was farther away they reasoned the arrow would be going slower and that would make it easier to catch. 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 That's easy enough to test, is that it? 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Sadly no, tons of people wrote us and said they've seen footage of people catching arrows. 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Why didn't we bring one of those people on to the show to test with? 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000 So we've got to get a real ninja and bring them on the show. 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000 I don't know where we're going to find one but yeah, I think we have to. 63 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000 We'll let them find that ninja later and start with the arrow speed test. 64 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,000 One of the primary complaints was that we were firing all of our arrows for the arrow catch test from too close, 65 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000 from point blank range and that if the arrows were going from farther away they'd be going slower and thus be easier to catch. 66 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Well our understanding of the physics is there's very little difference between 10 feet and 50 feet. 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 And we're about to do some tests that hopefully will prove that. 68 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000 To find out, Jamie will fire arrows at increments of 10 feet. 69 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000 In this test we're going to use the high speed camera and this scale to measure the speed of the arrow right as it hits the target. 70 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 You're going to take the first shot from point blank? 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 I am. 72 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Jamie's going to use a full strength pull on each arrow. 73 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Alright, let's go to 20 feet. 74 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 To make sure they all travel at maximum velocity. 75 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000 That's it. 76 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000 And 60 feet. 77 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Oh, I think you killed something, saw. 78 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Now where did that arrow go? 79 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Alright, this is 70 feet. 80 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 I thought this was a ninja special, not knight special. 81 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000 This is what I had lying around. 82 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Go! 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Not out at work. 84 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000 So what did they find out? 85 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Well, we did pretty good. 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 There's effectively no difference. 87 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000 You are consistently between 171 and 179 miles per hour. 88 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000 So what this means for our test is that it doesn't matter how far away the shooter is from the catcher. 89 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 The arrow is going to be going about the same speed. 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000 And that means the iron fist in the leather glove experiment gets the thumbs up. 91 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Those results were pretty clear. 92 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000 They were. It's true. 93 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000 This is something we've known about for a while. 94 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 And I'm really glad we got to show it on the show. 95 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000 That the speed of an aerodynamic projectile like an arrow has a very low drop-off in speed. 96 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000 From the moment it leaves the shooter to the moment it hits its target. 97 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000 That means we were right and the fans were wrong. 98 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000 I guess if you want to harp on that, yes, that's true. 99 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Now I think we can put this one away and it's time to bring out our real ninja. 100 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Let's wait till you meet him. 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Getting an elusive shadow warrior wasn't easy. 102 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000 But the Mythbusters research team not only tracked one down, they got the best in the world. 103 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Our ninja has black belt certifications in just about every form of martial arts I've ever heard of. 104 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000 And quite a few I haven't. 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000 He totally hasn't wear it counts. 106 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 He's a reaction training specialist. 107 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000 He's held over 20 Guinness World Records in this field. 108 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 He's hot stuff. 109 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Have you seen our ninja? 110 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000 No, but I'm not sure we know whether he was here or not. 111 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Hi, I'm your ninja. I'm Anthony Kelly. 112 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 You don't look much like a ninja. 113 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 No, I only have my street clothes on. Give me one second. 114 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Wow. 115 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000 That's more like it. 116 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Okay, fans, you the viewers demanded we get a real ninja. 117 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,000 And despite his non-ninja appearance and Australian accent, he is the best in the business. 118 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Well, Anthony might not look like your classic idea of a ninja, but don't take our word for it. 119 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000 We're going to put him into our holodeck here and run him through some of his paces to see what he can do. 120 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000 So is our ninja fast enough to catch a full speed arrow? 121 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Well, there's only one way to find out. See if he can catch tennis balls. 122 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000 A thoughtful person might just ask, what does catching one of these have to do with catching one of these? 123 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Well, it's all about reaction time. And Anthony has fast reflexes. That's what this is about. 124 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000 So before the ninja catches any arrows, they're going to measure the speed of his handiwork. 125 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Okay, I'm going to keep time on the stopwatch and count on the clicker. 126 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Alright, let's go boys. 127 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000 He's so ready. 128 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Now, catching tennis balls may not seem all that hard. 129 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000 And go. 130 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000 But those balls are traveling at 85 miles an hour. 131 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000 That's more or less the speed of a major league fastball. 132 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 But at 26 feet away, he's standing twice as close to the pitcher. 133 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,000 The ninja has less than a fifth of a second to react. He blinks. He'll miss it. 134 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000 22. Add time. 135 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Oh, goodness me. 136 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000 22. This could be a new world record. 137 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000 It sure is. 138 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000 We have it clear as day on high speed camera. Anthony catching that ball as it comes into him. 139 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Apparently, he's set a new world record. We'll see how Adam does. 140 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 A ninja arrow is hot stuff. But can a shadow warrior catch one in full flight? 141 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 To find out, a real ninja has been put through his reaction paces with tennis balls. 142 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000 But Adam didn't think it looked too difficult. 143 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 I have to try this. Can I try this? 144 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000 And Jamie's more than happy to oblige. 145 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 We all know I don't have any particular problem with administering a little pain to Adam. 146 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000 You said you'd do it. 147 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000 I will. I will. I'm going to let a couple go by me and then you start. 148 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Now Adam's a tad apprehensive. 149 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Because the last time he was on the receiving end of Jamie and the machine. 150 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000 I'm ready, Jamie. 151 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Jamie almost tore him a new belly button. 152 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 I keep forgetting that you have no heart or soul. 153 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 So branding Adam with balls. 154 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Dude. 155 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Is Jamie's idea of fun. 156 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Knock yourself out. 157 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Here we go. 158 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Oh crap, that's so fast. 159 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Oh, ow. 160 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Pain is your friend. 161 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Hi, come on. 162 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 The first time they bounce off your hands, you're like, oh, this isn't so bad. 163 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000 And then one hits you in the chest. 164 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Oh, that hurts. 165 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Ow. 166 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Oh, God. 167 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000 You don't want pain.

Let's reset. 547 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000 The myth is looking like it's totally busted. 548 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000 But to settle it once and for all, Adam has one more option. 549 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000 I want to give Anthony the best chance of success at this. 550 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000 So I'm going to have the archers all holding their arrows down until they fire. 551 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,000 So he'll actually have a little bit of lead time seeing the flutter of their bow before they fire. 552 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000 He finally caught one. 553 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000 Fair and square. 554 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000 So is it a case of myth busted or plausible? 555 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000 In the battle scenario, Anthony was in fact able to catch an arrow. 556 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Although in a real battle situation, you only have one chance. 557 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,000 And Anthony took a number of hits before he got it right. 558 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Our ninja did spectacularly when he could see an archer go up and release. 559 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000 He had the time to anticipate. 560 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000 But without that, I think we'd have one dead ninja. 561 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000 When it comes to fighting underwater, you can do it the hard way or the ninja way. 562 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Use your blowpipe as a breathing tube and fire a poison dart into your victim. 563 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:15,000 So despite the cheating, we did establish that it's possible to make an accurate blowgun using only natural materials. 564 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000 We also showed that you could stay underneath the water for an hour, 565 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000 which would be plenty of time for you to wait for your enemy to come by. 566 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000 So I guess it's time to put it all together. 567 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000 This is where it gets really hard because underwater, refraction is going to distort your aim. 568 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000 And even if you could overcome the refraction, you still have to load the dart in the blowgun while breathing. 569 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000 And then you have to do all this without getting water in your blowgun, 570 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000 staying underneath the water and causing no ripples whatsoever. 571 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Do you think we could even do this? 572 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,000 I don't know. 573 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000 It's going to be fun though. 574 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000 With carte-pons hard to come by, Tori and Grant ninja up the local pool, 575 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000 while Carrie changes into something less comfortable. 576 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000 Alright, so how are we going to test this one? 577 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000 Alright, well, since this is all about accuracy, 578 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,000 I think what you should do is put the dart in the tube first while you're above water and then pop down under. 579 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,000 Do it that way. 580 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000 Alright, get in the water. 581 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,000 As the winner from yesterday's test, it's Carrie's job to do the same thing. 582 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:17,000 As the winner from yesterday's test, it's Carrie's job to take aim from under the water where things may not be so clear. 583 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:24,000 It's a different thing when you're above water versus being underwater because of refraction, 584 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:31,000 which if we're correct, will probably make it very difficult to actually aim for a target and hit it. 585 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:38,000 The problem for our trespassing assassin is the emperor she's aiming at isn't where he appears to be. 586 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000 That's because light travels at different speeds through water and air, 587 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000 getting bent out of shape as it passes from one to the other. 588 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000 Although she's still a dead eye shot above water, 589 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Oh, that's right where I was going for. 590 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000 Under the water, Carrie will be guessing where to fire. 591 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Sorry. 592 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000 She's missed by a mile. 593 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000 It's really blurry. 594 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,000 Now remember, Carrie's only fighting refraction here. 595 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Breathing through the blowgun comes later. 596 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Whoa!
