Calculator Unboxing #1 - Numberphile

[@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).

[@matthewludivico1714]

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

[@borjangagovski6545]

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

No, you are not.

[@dramawind]

The sarcasm in this video is insane.

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.

[@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).

[@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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@20003771]

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

[@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 )

[@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.

[@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.

[@sheet-son]

I have a great appreciation for witty British sarcasm.

[@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.

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

[@Paulygon]

[@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

[@LandonBrock]

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

[@NassosConqueso]

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

[@nickkinnan7485]

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

[@Bobstew68]

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

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

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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@danhyde7501]

This dudes sarcasm has me dying

[@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

[@dyslexicsoap7605]

You said that 0.9 recurring is inaccurate, but isn't another video on this channel explaining how 0.9 recurring is 1?

[@GlacialScion]

Check the calculator again.

[@GlacialScion]

Ezeckel Reichert You're an idiot. Finish watching the video before you comment, you dumbass.

[@john.summerton]

the 8 at the end of the series tells you the calculator rounded down at that digit, if it were truly 0.9 recurring the last digit would have rounded upwards and the final answer would have been simply 2.

[@john.summerton]

John Robinson ah my bad, I thought you were talking about calculator #1, didn't see the calculator 3 accuracy test until just now

[@zlcoolboy]

From what I can tell its pretty much just not taking that last step to just turn the digit into what it actually is, which means it wasn't programmed to be as accurate as it should have been.
