    If you want to witness exponential growth, just take out a payday loan...

    I'm not greedy, I'll take an infinite amount of pennies.
  • @bwedesign
    The $1 and $20 problem reminds me of this question: what weighs more - a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
  • @DesAstora
    I'm shocked fact boi didn't mention the amount of possible combinations for a well shuffled deck of cards.

    I remember when I was in primary school. I used to sit next to somebody who was not only had the same birthday with me, but was born in the same room in the hospital.

    I dont connect with numbers, but i respect them. I wish i was better with them, but they just scramble my brain when i try to understand formulas.

    When I was in math class in High school we did the paper folding problem, just in a different way. The teacher asked "would you rather be paid $1000 a day for 30 days, or $0.01 a day doubled everyday. If you choose $1000 a day you ended up with $30,000, but if you choose the penny doubled daily you ended up with almost $11 million dollars.

    I remember my first day in RE ( religious education) the teacher picked 4 people at random out of the class of 30 to do a bit on astrology and star signs, it turned out that all 4 of us had the same birthday!

    For the Ross-Littlewood paradox, another way to convince yourself that the box is empty is by contradiction- Assume after the process is completed, you pull a ping-pong ball from the box. Whatever the number on the ball is, you know you would have had to put the square of that number in the box already, so that ball shouldn't be in the box if the process has been done properly. As the number on the ball was arbitrary, any ball you pick shouldn't be in the box- hence no ball should be in the box.

    Wednesday Addams: The baby weighs 20 pounds. The canon ball weighs 20 pounds. Which one will hit the ground first? Pugsley Addams: I'm still on fractions.

    I like that there are distinct types of infinities, with distinct characteristics. The realms of pure math are positively wild.
  • @bodan1196
    I was a little surprised that the last topic of exponential growth, didn't mention a very old description using the doubling the numbers of graiins of rice for each square on a chessboard.
  • I am pretty amazed at.999 is equal to 1... I am definitely going to hold on to that one

    The music is F****NG annoying. Either turn it off(preferably) or reduce the volume considerably, please. I really like the sound of your voice, Simon, and REALLY like to hear your message. I hope the produce get this hint. Thanks for your time and great effort to keep us informed.

    I'm going to teach a math class from the Principia Mathematica. Imagine reading, memorizing, and writing reports on 400 rambling pages, just to see "1+1=" as your semester final

    When I was in third grade, we had this very challenge. The teacher asked if we thought any 2 of us, in a class of 31, had the same birthday. Not only were there two, but 3 of us, all sitting next to eachother, were born on the same day. Not only that, my mother and my classmates mother, were in a joint room at the hospital. The third one of us, was born 3 hours eariler, and his mom had been moved to another room. More than 65 years later, we're still friends.
