No one likes shorts they are just pushed by KZbin for $. views per video time, make it look more profitable then it is. a lack of add blockers on cellphones vrs computer makes mobile look more profitable then it is. the shorts page is designed to turn a simple scroll down in to a view then a scroll up back is yet another view. comments are greatly reduced on shorts as they are hard to view and hard to make, so censorship cost are lower. like auto play the shorts screen is more prone to letting KZbin decide the next video not the user, this is useful for gas lighting. accidental clicking from pushing the shorts make it look more profitable then it is, look at how much screen real estate shorts are given. percentage of the video watched is higher, that 1 sec video it turns out 60% of viewers watched 100% of the video because they physically could not click away fast enough and 40% were bots. KZbin thinks it's profitable, so KZbin advertises and pushes shorts more so shorts get more views and it becomes profitable at scale, self fulfilling prophecy. if tiktok gets banned KZbin wants to be their to make sure no upstart alt tech gets a foot hold in the market smooth replacement. if most advertisers switched to only paying for actual sales san francisco/big tech would collapse, but ESG money says that's not going to happen.

I havent mentioned this before here but I've been thinking about it.. I really love the continuity through out these episodes - constantly referencing previous episodes. Like the evolving mess in the yard and the dirt on your jacket or the bubbles still randomly making an appearance. This is part of what makes your channel so entertaining for me and is one way you really stand out among other maths youtubers. Thank you for the effort, it's definitely appreciated :) !

Exactly! This channel has such a creative component. I love the mad scientist vibe.

[@Jimorian]

I also appreciate that the "gimmick" of the deteriorating classroom is always there, and pops to the forefront at times, but it's never belabored to "stretch" the joke, and the lecture continues on with barely any interruption. That's a very tough balance to get right. :)

You're all right! The creative mad scientist vibe. The bits of the chaos that are staged versus the random! Idk which is better because the act... I like the act because I often realize I'm slightly unstudied in something. Or something new altogether! So I go play with the numbers or graphs or both (usually both lol) then ill talk about it here The random chaos is almost like fireworks, it happens and you react afterward and it isnt getting in the way of the 'conversation'

[@CjqNslXUcM]

I noticed this as a kid when multiplying 11*11 using the technique of multiplying for each digit of the multiplicant and then adding up. 10*11=110 plus 1*11=11 gives you 121. 111*111 is 11100 plus 1110 plus 111, resulting in 12321 imagine my childlike joy when I arranged it in columns: 111111*111111: = sum of 11111100000 _1111110000 __111111000 ___11111100 ____1111110 _____111111 = 12345654321

[@BariScienceLab]

@@CjqNslXUcM Beat me to it, but this pattern is a very beautiful one! 11*11 = 121 111*111 = 12321 1111*1111 = 1234321 11111*11111 = 123454321 etc. What's funny is that going over nine digits seems to break the pattern: 1111111111^2 = 1234567900987654321 Which seems disorderly at first, but this is just like you said, 1.111111111*10^18 + 1.111111111*10^17, etc. except that 10 ones overlap, which creates a 0 and gets one carried over to the next column, which has 9 ones, making it 9+1 ones = 10 ones, so that gets another zero written down, and the one is carried over to the 8, giving 8+1 = 9, which continues the pattern from there (which is also why the 8 is skipped, because you don't have to carry the one when you have a sum of 9, so it skips over to 7, not 7+1) TL;DR 1111111111^2 breaks this nice pattern until you actually look into the multiplication and have a funny realization!

I was hoping you would mention about normal numbers, which is a number where the proportion of each digit in it is very close to 1/10 (cause we have 10 digits), and the digits are more or less evenly distributed. Because as numbers have more and more digits, it is more likely to be normal, meaning we are more likely to find specific strings of digits in it, especially into the millions of digits.

[@renerpho]

I was hoping you'd touch on "pandigital formulas": Combinations of all the numbers from 1 to 9 (or from 0 to 9), together will the standard arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /, exponentiation, and decimal points). There are a few pandigital formulas that produce interesting results. My favourite is (1+0.2^9^(6*7))^5^3^84, which is a reasonably good approximation for the number e. (It is correct to 8368428989068425943817590916445001887164 decimal places.) You can leave out the 0, and write it as (1+.2^9^(6*7))^(5^3^84), if you prefer. A more famous example would be (1+9^(-4^(6*7)))^(3^2^85), which was the "star" of a Numberphile video a few years ago (then considered the record holder for the best pandigital approximation for e, but actually not nearly as good as the other example).

"Almost all numbers contain all digits." Yawn "Trivial corollary: almost all numbers contain any particular string of digits you can name in that order." Mind blown

[@ameteuraspirant]

could you consider a "zeroless" pandigital number to just have the restriction that any zero exists at the beginning of the number in the highest place(s) and therefore to be a subset of all pandigital numbers only with an extra restriction?

[@ComboClass]

Yeah I hinted at that when counting the minimal amount of each here, but didn’t go into it much so to clarify more here: if you were to include the infinite amount of leading zeros to the left of a number (which numbers technically have but usually aren’t included when analyzing the number’s digits), then the zeroless pandigitals would basically be “the pandigitals whose only zeros are of the leading type” and general pandigitals would have to be redefined as “pandigitals with every digit including a non-leading zero”

[@evenaxin3628]

Based on this, I just learned about an alliterative number. 1023985674765893201 is a palindromic pandigital prime.

[@Bovineprogrammer]

If we relax the distinction between "regular" and "zeroless" minimal pandigital numbers (so the numbers contain all digits in the base exactly once, with lead zeroes allowed), are there numbers that can be minimally pandigital in multiple bases? I notice that the lowest minimally pandigital number in base 5 (1234 = 194 decimal) is lower than the highest minimally pandigital number in base 4 (3210 = 228 decimal), so there are overlapping areas where such numbers could exist.

[@majora4]

Absolutely. One such example is 3012 base 4 = [0]1243 base 5. I'm not certain if it's possible without using a leading zero, but my gut instinct says it's not.

[@Bovineprogrammer]

@@majora4 My gut says the same, which is why I included it. Nice to know there are numbers that fit the pattern - I was too lazy/busy to code something to check.

[@smaza2]

[@bambam180acidpunk]

the thing you said about how there is no infinitely persistent pandigital but that you can name any arbitrarily large number of persistence and there will be a corresponding pandigital. and i can wrap my head around that any given persistence does not imply that it can scale from there but there is some other combination that reaches any given higher persistence. so its weird that you could name every possible arbitrarily large persistence and there will be a corresponding pandigital but no pandigital can scale to an infinite persistence. could you talk more about this relation in the future, i'm just going off what i think i understood, does this kind of relation have a name or anything else you know of interesting about it or other examples of similar interactions. i've seen all your episodes and i can follow but unless you explain it as clearly as you usually do i might not know what you're talking about. for instance i'm wondering if that relation i mentioned is in any way similar to godel's theorem, the godel sentence part is what i'm looking at. forgive me i'm a noob lol , i'm not asking if they are the same just if there are similarities and if you could comment on them and whatever the vocabulary is for them, or if i'm way off i'd like to hear about that to, thanks keep it up

[@robertdibenedetto6445]

Awesome video! Are there any non-pandigital irrational numbers?

[@josephrissler9847]

Yes! There are infinitely many. For example, any integer multiple of Pi or e, with any digit of your choice removed

[@ComboClass]

Yep. There are even irrational numbers that (when written in base ten) just contain the digits 0 and 1 in an infinite non-repeating decimal. However to be irrational in binary, you would need both 0’s and 1’s and thus need to be pandigital in base 2

[@Voiding210]

0.101001000100001...

[@josephrissler9847]

I’m wondering if there are any irrationals that are non-pandigital in every integer base 3 or greater, or in every base above some number. I would be surprised if there are.

[@victorribera5796]

Aren't almost all binary written numbers pandigitals, and infinity-persistent?? Is this considered a trivial or exception case??

[@ComboClass]

Although the i only found info about the pandigitally persistent numbers in base ten, there’s a good chance binary follows the same pattern and doesn’t have any infinity persistent numbers by having every number eventually have a multiple that’s a non-prime mersenne number / hypereleven. For example, 101 in binary doubled is 1010 but tripled is 1111 which isn’t pandigital Edit: as the comment from Victor below reminded me, binary might actually be a small enough base to contain pandigital infinity-persistent numbers! I hadn’t analyzed that trait in binary yet but I’ll look into more details of how that trait works in other bases sometime in the future

[@victorribera5796]

@@ComboClass but for exemple, 2 (10) whatever you multiply it to would have a 0 at the end because it is even, and it will also always have a 1 since it is different to 0 therefore 2 is inifinity pandigital persistent right?? Again, I suppose this is considered a trivial case and the non existence of infinity persistent cases may be only for higher bases since binary doesn't have much to work with

[@ComboClass]

Good point! I guess pandigital infinity-persistence might work in base 2. I didn’t investigate that particular trait in binary (which I why I only mentioned base ten examples of it in this episode) but I’ll look into that more sometime in the future :)

[@JeremyOuelletteNH]

Uncountably infinite base! Probably nonsensical, but maybe if u were a totally lit math deity...

[@Tletna]

So, I was wondering with regard to your earlier writing numbers in various bases videos. Has anyone ever written out how each value on the line y = x would look as represented in base x, same thing for y = mx + b, or y = mx^2 + nx + b, or other functions y of something x. Since that includes so many irrationals both algebraic and transcendental, then, at first, let's restrict things to integer values of x to begin with. So, base zero at y = x = 0 would be difficult to express. However y = x = 1 would just be 1 or a dash just like counting. y = x = 2 would be like binary so 10, y = x = 3 would be 10 in ternary, so all values express in base = x would be 10 for positive integers. But what about other functions? So now lets do y = 2x. For y = 2x = 2*1 = 2 we have 2 dashes or 1 1, for y = 2x = 2*2 = 4 we have 4 in binary or 100, for y = 2x = 2*3 = 6, we have 6 but in ternary which is 20. For y = 2x = 2*4 = 8 or in 20 in quarternary as we'll see this pattern will continue. What about y = x^2? 0 again doesn't mean much, 1 is 1*1 = 1 or a dash. y = x^2 = 2^2 = 4 is 100 in binary. y = x^2 = 3^2 = 9 is 100 in ternary. y = x^2 = 4^2 = 16 = 100 in quarternary. y = x^2 = 5^2 = 25 = 100 in quinary. So, again a pretty boring pattern. Now, I only did positive integers for x, and only did y = x, or y = 2x, or y = x^2 so far. So, I guess, I'd ask, are there more interesting functions y(x) when we represent the answer y in base x both restricting x to positive integers and when not? More important questions: is there a special base for counting squirrel cameos? And, have you considered a sponsor who provides insurance or sells fire extinguishers?
