[@borjangagovski6545]

Am I only one who thinks that this was a lot funnier than a lot of TV comedy shows?

[@etomicbomb1753]

No

[@pieranka]

No, you are not.

[@CraftQueenJr]

Borjan Gagovski No.

[@HilbertXVI]

Borjan Gagovski Nope

[@7636kei]

Considering this is _the_ stand up mathematician we're dealing with, nope.

[@dramawind]

The sarcasm in this video is insane.

[@EKHondaMotive]

Dramawind "...should you wish to learn a foreign language..." Lol!

[@dramawind]

One Hunnit Tech It doesn't do calculations in a bin.

[@bethdiaz4006]

I need a calculator on the screen

[@mattmarlborough3607]

the sarcasm radiates from this video, coincidentally powering my calculator.

[@usmanh770]

hhahaaahaha

[@sjsbmksps]

😂😂😂

[@CraftQueenJr]

Matt Marlborough, where can I purchase one of these marvellous sarcasm powered calculation devices?

[@albertoescobedo9982]

[@pedrogodoy1816]

The Cannon Arc Design looks inaccurate, but it is actually really precise; when multiplying the square root of 2 by itself, any good calculator will say it's 2, but in race mode, this calculator has taken the values as velocities and, considering special relativity, it has given us an even more precise result!

[@axton9521]

No

[@dhy5342]

My HP32Sii gives 1.99999999999 (plus a few more internal 9's).

[@ELYESSS]

always use the protective cover when doing hardcore math, you don't want to catch a calculus transmitted disease

[@ELYESSS]

+Ankush Girotra Please guys no more likes, leave it as it is

[@TheAdriyaman]

+ILYES No.LIKEing is my birthright and I will have it.

[@ELYESSS]

+Adriyaman Banerjee It is already ruined, so go ahead, like it as many times as you wish

[@TheAdriyaman]

+ILYES Why?Was it 69 or something?

[@matthewludivico1714]

Get your cover tested periodically, and avoid trading it with more than one person, at a time.

[@Jxando916]

"In addition to the normal zero, you've got the double zero. That's for when things are reeeeeally zero. I mean this ones pretty zero, this ones absolute zero" lmaaaooo

[@SynS7ven]

Nah, it's just to give the house a bigger advantage.

[@entropyzero5588]

So you're saying this calculator is American (and not French)?

[@globalincident694]

what if you divide by 00?

[@Peter_1986]

+Dominic Littlewood You get infinity squared and crash all of mathematics.

[@alexandersmith4796]

"and should you be using this to do calculations in an RV, lets say you're making meth" ~ Numberphile 2013

[@karffiol]

are there any calculators designed specifically for "in a bin" use? also if I use a regular calculator in a bin, does it void the warranty? thank you

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

+karffiol - I never had a calculator designed for bin use, and I regret it. I accidentally used my Citizen calculator in a bin, and it stopped working. When I tried to make a warranty claim, the technician instantly recognized that it was misused (bin use) and refused to fix it.

[@karffiol]

+MasterBata well that's tough, damn those calculator bin recognition systems!

[@LaynusST]

The bamboo one, unboxing at Numberphile's channel lol

[@adityakhanna113]

Binary Calculator, eh?

[@beyondbeyond1965]

You may want to give the bin a hug before attempting. Only do this if you have a hug-compatible calculator (Marked Hg).

[@IVAN3DX]

I like how the first calculator has the same accuracy as the third, but still got a much lower mark xD

[@RFC3514]

The first calculator has 8 digits, the third has 12, and both round to the last digit. That makes the third calculator about 10 thousand times more accurate than the first.

[@IVAN3DX]

RFC3514 True, I should be ashamed of myself. No math for me for 1 week.

[@teeds88]

watch it again, the first one came up with 1,99...98 as the answer to sqrt(2)², the second had it as 1,99...99 while even displaying more digits. also, it switched to racing mode!!!1 (omg, i can't believe i'm arguing about this)

[@reinux]

must have been calculated using one of those two calculators.

[@ppp9922]

probably cause it had more operations. so percentage wise its the same accuracy but straight number wise it would be higher.

[@Horton094]

I really love these videos

[@numberphile]

thank you

[@Horton094]

You're quite welcome.

[@slayersdragon6129]

Yeah....... I love you guys to make these..........

[@Peter_1986]

When would things be "really zero"? Are we talking about a zero with an infinite string of zeroes? Or what is it? Hm...

[@tennicktenstyl]

joke your head

[@TehJayden]

I've always found unboxing videos completely pointless and stupid. I love this satirical take on it.

[@Epinardscaramel]

I'm glad I'm not the only one :)

[@legits4685]

"12! 12 digits - that's amazing! i'm surprised they don't write that right across the to- oh they do, there it is..." this is honestly the funniest math video (11:17 )

[@sheet-son]

I have a great appreciation for witty British sarcasm.

[@iPelaaja1]

This is so funny. "It tells you not to put it in th bin - because its difficult to use it in the bin" this video is full of great jokes, and definetly I'll add to my favourites!

[@5just51]

What does bin mean?

[@paytonrichards6450]

Justin gurbij

[@feddeschaeffer7116]

I have encountered devices that use the term bin to refer to the concept of ‘the binary positional-notation numeral system’. The majority of calculators in the video are likely to be limited to the decimal one.

[@Saki630]

How can you open these mint condition relics without gloves on??!?!

[@DadgeCity]

Relics?

[@20003771]

Best Unboxer Ever!

[@habdochkeineahnung]

"splashsafety in case youre calculating in the shower or the swimmingpool"... i just love you guys...

[@l2ic3]

RV mode is clearly intended for Heisenberg.

[@DanielSultana]

l2ic3 can't believe you didn't get top comment... yet

[@DanielSultana]

+l2ic3 are you ever gonna get top comment?

[@dddddddddddddddadddddddddddddd]

+Daniel Sultana what about now? I'm on mobile so I can't check

[@bibekgautam512]

Should this be a post-nuclear winter, you can continue calculating solely on the battery. Where do you get that from Matt? Absolutely loving your humor.

[@jupiterrocks24]

Best unboxing video ever

[@LandonBrock]

"...it has put it into racing mode though." Hilarious

[@bluephreakr]

I first saw this as, "Oh Numberphile had nothing to do so they made a joke video", but after seeing it... I still think the same way, _but_ I was pleasantly entertained.

[@cinilaknedalm]

There's too many funny things said to quote

[@adielgranados391]

The best unboxing video on KZbin. Please do another episode using graphing calculators :)

[@jony7779]

"thats for when things are really zero" I absolutely lost it

[@RedsBoneStuff]

Lessons for foreign languages! XD

[@titaniumdiveknife]

+RedsBoneStuff hahahahahhahahaaha XD

[@Bobstew68]

"..which is an average score of four point one six reoccurring." :D

[@YashKakrecha]

Nobody: Not a single soul: Mathematicians: "Calculator Unboxing"

[@NassosConqueso]

Of course you cannot make calculation in a bin, there is no sunlight there.

[@rosarioKDC]

This is the best unboxing video I have ever seen. I would have never expected it from a calculator unboxing...

[@nickkinnan7485]

The tongue in cheek stuff - water protection jacket, RV mode, ABSOLUTEtely zero, etc - had me absolutely rolling with laughter! Fantastic geek humor!

[@robertathari]

This was absolutely hilarious. Kudos. So glad I discovered this series thanks to the latest installment.

[@JeroenBaxexm]

awesome: "...to allow easy reinsertion of the calculator into it's protective cover"

[@zacharylagler242]

your neighbors must think your nuts, I can hear them now " John the odd man is dropping Calculators in the middle of the road again". in all,honesty you do awesome videos, love the British humor.

[@Paulygon]

Did a mathematician seriously just say its safer to cut a blade towards you? Or am I Sheldon Cooper and didn't realize it was sarcasm?

[@ReedoTV]

+Paulygon He also uses the back of the blade at the beginning

[@Fucisko]

+Paulygon There is an YT annotation that clearly says it was a joke.

[@Paulygon]

+Ma4zu6 I can't get annotations on mobile.

[@tj12711]

The entire video is a joke/parody, so yes, you missed the joke

[@Paulygon]

+tj12711 I need to read the book Leonard and Penny gave me...

[@8bitslime]

That water protecting cover is an amazing idea! I can't tell you have many times i've been in the shower and wanted to do calculations! And when I'm in bed, that raised 5 will help me do those calculations in the shower during a blackout!

[@ilidenstrmrege987]

It's 1am, i don't even ask myself how I got here.

[@peterremeeus6635]

the "7 X 7" test... ha ha ha .. and some more (not so accurate) tests... LOL

[@defosh369]

I have no idea how I got into watching this video, but I'm glad I did. From the very first moments to it's end I just couldn't stop laughting. Funny stuff and really nicley made!

[@ihathtelekinesis]

I would've loved to see you ring the Morrisons helpline for lols.

[@wallbasher12]

i'll totally use the last one when im in my underwater racing RV during a post-apocalyptic winter

[@legendofFranktheTank]

I am literally watching calculator unboxings, what is my life

[@thegeekplanet794]

Same here

[@Ichijoe2112]

Frank Da Tank Can I find a Calculator to work out the meaning of Life, the Universe, and EVERYTHING?!

[@Ichijoe2112]

Well what about my personality problems then? I need One that, can work that out to ten decimal places.

[@proefslak]

I almost thought this was going to be a parody of unboxing, but it's just loads of fantastic humorous commentary! Love it!

[@MultiPaulinator]

10x more interesting than any iPhone unboxing I've seen on TechFeed! lmao

[@dwarfkingman]

unboxing calculators lol

[@karlmuster263]

British humor...

[@bl00dra1nn]

Karl Muster i'm not british and i only laugh at british humor...this video is the funniest thing ever

[@karlmuster263]

There were some pretty great parts. My favorite was the parts where he was admiring the topology of the box and "GT racing" mode. It's just that a lot of it wasn't funy to me.

[@Lyricon24]

As opposed to dutch humor? Or japanese humor? Or swaziland humor? Seriously, I'm American and this is hilarious. As far as I'm concerned there's no difference. If he didn't have a British accent but said the exact same things you wouldn't have said anything. Actually, you might have just said you didn't like it for some other reason ('uhh... itz stoopid.').

[@abdufiadbfajdfb]

You mean the best kind of humor?

[@catlover10192]

Diego Morales Really dry snark is considered to be British for some reason.

[@danhyde7501]

This dudes sarcasm has me dying

[@kristianwilliams441]

I love how calculator unboxings have gone from this to 100% dry British wit and sarcasm.

[@StrangePowers123]

This is the most entertaining video I've seen all day! :D

[@wheetcracker]

TI-89 Titanium master race reporting.

[@bkboggy]

lol, "cutting towards my body so I can keep an eye on the blade."

[@peopler4eating]

"Packaged it in a kind of cuboid of cardboard." Hilarious!

[@KPopsicleSNSD]

Lol the sarcasm in this video... Do a ti84 color review plz

[@pitthepig]

make all the jokes that you want, but I didn't know that the sqr2 test was a thing. I'm amazed.

[@EliasBorchert]

What exactly is the square root test?

[@EliasBorchert]

pitthepig ok thanks!

[@GralGrievous]

It's very difficult to use in a bin. EPIC LOL

[@prosto1076]

Numberphile: carefully saves blister Also numberphile: destroys every calculator!!!

[@highriley]

For the accuracy i give a 6.99999... just made my day

[@Jomczx]

I wonder how many people actually got that xD

[@Kyz246]

this issss funny :') now im on a marathon watching calculator unboxings :')

[@thefrenchpoet3160]

I love how he shows how to open to boxes so he can return it later, then 10 minutes later drops them, splashes them with water, or burns them. But atleast you did not damage the box I guess

[@jens684]

I... actually watched this for over 13 minutes!? Amazing.

[@Tobias5786]

The best parody on all the ridicules reviews on youtube. Brilliant stuff!

[@AsbjornOlling]

I went into this without much of an interest for calculators, I just figured "but hey, it's numberphile. it has to be good." and it was. absolutely hilarious, and I learnt a bit about calculator inaccuracy. awesome.

[@MetroAndroid]

I can't begin to describe how much I love these. Matt Parker is hilarious and I would love to see more :)

[@paulfloyd9258]

Just in case anyone is curious about the Canon, MU is 'markup', GT is 'grand total' and RV is 'reverse' (operands).

[@BenjaminDirgo]

I can''t give this enough thumbs up.

[@clairesun1549]

Very informative, been wanting to learn a foreign language for a while now.

[@Nyx19772]

8:54 who don't use a calculator in a swimming pool 🤣

[@theRealRindberg]

Best unboxing...EVER!! You really get to see everything you want! Looking forward to the full reviews. Thanks

[@nacout]

did i just watch a 13 minute calculator unboxing

[@jesseacummins]

toucan 夢 And loved every minute

[@Daniel1987H]

I totally love your humour!

[@ZacharyDaveyLambert]

8:52 wow, that's a good idea! I've never been sure about the best way to use my calculator in a swimming pool!

[@tylerwoodward9725]

Never in my life did I expect to come across one of these... I love it.

[@Leaf0927]

It's 1:30 AM, why am I watching Calculator Reviews?

[@variox5744]

Ryan Galata 1:20 am here

[@joaquimg5361]

4:45 here

[@jonasrugebregt343]

Lol 1:36 AM here

[@kindredsoul79]

I was taking a shower in my recreational vehicle today, and I suddenly had the rational need to find the area of the tiles in my shower. Luckily, I had that protective waterproof cover for my calculator.

[@ruf1o2o]

Its so nice to see an expert reviewing calculators. Great work!! :D

[@ChristianMasseyAU]

These videos are absolutely the best things to watch when you haven't slept in quite a few hours.

[@sjholmes101]

This is one of the funniest videos on KZbin.

[@SchrondingersCat]

Please call the customer support and ask math questions!

[@italiangookie119]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE VIDOES!!!! IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE THE LAST ONE AND I THINK WE'D ALL LOVE TO SEE MORE! EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING!!

[@cosmickitty9533]

These make me laugh so hard. I especially love the 'little professor' one

[@leonterdich8140]

Im watching calculator unboxings wtf am I doing

[@vovacat1797]

Is 7*7 a kind of a special test for calculators? (A common procesor error or something?)

[@dexorne9753]

Probably not, just to figure out and show that its working

[@PieEatinSuicideGrunt]

They were mocking the fact that they didn't have any sophisticated tests

[@TheAdriyaman]

+Владимир Кузнецов No just an accuracy test.1divided by 7 times seven should give exactly 1 but many calculators dont and give you 0.99999998 or something like that.

[@dasisbabe]

Loved the dry wit, actually lolled quite a few times. I would welcome any more similar videos, such as more unboxings or reviews. Thanks!

[@MarvinJohanning]

My favorite quote: "Well, it put it into racing mode which is good to see!" xD

[@stifler2893]

RV mode for cooking meth and GT mode for racing lmao

[@shandows15]

Walter White approves of the RV mode

[@shadrack1701]

How did you guys decide you wanted to start making these videos? They are great, I can't believe Matt doesn't crack up at all during these.

[@hyochulpak]

So funny, still coming back to watch it even after10+ times already and I don't know why lol

[@aqilaalkaff5384]

6.542 possibly a 7. I cannot take how funny this is

[@cjoduse95]

I really appreciate the Breaking Bad reference at 10:08

[@Jose04811]

the subtle humor makes these 13 minutes of my life worth while...

[@gentoogentoo1671]

The sarcasm is strong with this one. The only numberphile videos that I truly understand.

[@shyam0805]

From when are you going to do stand-up ?

[@ganeshdesai90]

सद

[@Kriegerdammerung]

English humour, best humour!

[@KaiCalimatinus]

Is it wrong that this is the funniest thing I've seen all week?

[@roshanmeah]

This is probably the best product review video in the whole of KZbin!

[@centlician]

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9.

[@JEST3R_]

I got the breaking bad joke

[@a.khakwani5496]

+Insomniac Haha! Wonder how many people got that! Surprisingly, you only have to watch the first episode of Breaking Bad to get this joke (S01E01). Get on it, people! :D

[@crowbar6723]

+A. Khakwani I just got to that point XD

[@williamyue7342]

+A. Khakwani I got it, even though I have never watched breaking bad

[@ishmiel21]

I don't know how he made it through that whole video without cracking himself up. That was genius.

[@kibidk]

Warning: "This calculator is not for doing calculations in a bin" - LOL!
