"We're Not So Different, You and I" | Dr. James Grime on Numberphile

[@carlosmorasalguero]

End game has been out for just 2 days and it is no longer the most ambitious crossover in the history of the world

I fit that description, I would be interested in chatting with you if you would be down for that?

DOCTOR Brady Haran, if you don't mind ;-)

[@duffman18]

@@pewlitzer4251 he's not a doctor, but he does have the Australian version of a Knighthood, more or less. Queen Liz 2.0 gives knighthoods and MBE's to British people, and for Australian people they have the same thing but they're uniquely for Australians only. And Brady has got one of those, even though all the work he's famous for was done in the UK, so he could have very justifiably received the British one instead. But yeah.

[@pewlitzer4251]

@@duffman18 He has an honorary doctor from the University of Nottingham: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKnJlaZrgLVkkJY . My comment was in reference to a conversation he had on the "Hello Internet" Podcast with CPG Grey, where he mentioned that he teases his sister with the title. So yeah.

[@loganeasley4343]

Scam Nation AND Numberphile!? Pinch me, I must be dreaming! I use this trick in math class for my nine times table.

[@WesleyHandy]

I found this channel in my feed this week because I saw Dr. Grime on the thumbnail. Love Numberphile, and I'm loving your work too Brian. Watched several hours of videos this week to get up to date. Still got a ways to go.

[@TheAgentofEnigmas]

That was a fantastic episode. I loved the interview and the parallels between the magic and the math (or maths ;-) ) Also, he has an Enigma Machine!?! That is freaking awesome. I geeked out at that part of the interview.

[@miketait8254]

Love both these guys I am 35 and have been watching scam school since the beginning and am pumped how it has evolved into Scam Nation. His videos I really feel reach out to a group of people that not a lot of KZbinrs try and reach with there videos and content.

[@chrismohan]

Loved this. Been an adult educator for a few years and have had the opportunity to attend one of James’ codebreaking workshops (ifs great btw) The best part is that students see the transformation of a Maths from the chicken nugget guy (or the three towns problem) to something a bit deeper. It’s often a gateway to show that Maths is something more than equations and abstract. I’m sure every person who loves Maths has experienced that moment where they were absorbing information and realised that but for time and place they had all the tools to have discovered it themselves. I think this is the essence of what makes Maths and ‘Magic’ intersect.

[@chrismohan]

William J. Thanks so much. That’ll give me something to get my teeth into this weekend !

[@detectivejonesw]

Subbed to both scam school and singingbanana I do maths at uni and I'm a part time magician and omg this is just so amazing

[@blanktom6049]

When I got the notification I saw "Grimes" and thought: "Oh, he got that guy from walking dead. that's cool" Then i clicked the video and said: "Oh sh't! That's the guy from numberphile! F'in awesome!"

[@pegy6384]

Thank you so much for this interview with Dr. Grime! We fans don't often get to see him talk about himself--it was a treat.

[@mattmarlborough3607]

I've been such a huge fan of both of these channels for years, I love this!

Numberphile has done a number of other videos on divisibility tricks that describe other patterns other than the 9 trick. @19:03 I think there is also a Numberphile video on calculating Pi via tooth picks :)

[@RyanCrell]

Wow, this is so great. Loved the discussion!

[@ellaenchanted2399]

Definitely an overlap of viewers. I've been a fan of ScamSchool/Numberphile for years. I actually found SS through the puzzles/math-type videos, and I think Np was suggested as a result of watching so many math-ish scams haha ;). Word play, number play, cryptograms (which I guess are both?)...I love it. On a related note, I would love to see a video on SS on the usage of mathematical card stacks that aren't Si Stebbins/CHaSeD order. Similarly, I would be thrilled to see a numberphile vid going in detail on the maths behind such stacks/why they work with such tricks/adaptations etc.... Just throwing out there....

[@Platypi007]

Having recently gone back in the archive and watched one of your old videos I am glad for the reduction in the amount of hair gel involved in this channel... :D

[@markpointer2967]

“Oh, Teller once said in a letter he wrote to me....” You smooth fox, Brian, you!!! Also, Brian, you mentioned the story about how to “swoop in and be the best chess player in town...” and the possible methods. Building on this, you really should lcheck out (pun intended), a video that’s on KZbin by Derren Brown, from a few years back. Basically, he has a circle of about 9 (I think) Grand Masters and similar champions, and walks around playing one move at a time on each table, and beats.... almost all of them. This, having just revealed he is “a rubbish chess player”. The method is just lovely; I won’t spoil it. Although how he does the very final twist at the end, with the envelope, is an absolute mystery, that melted my brain completely. If you figure out his method for the envelope part, I would buy you free drinks for life!!! Sorry I don’t recall the name of the show, but I saw it on KZbin......

[@jamesbevan9939]

Brian, would you ever consider doing an episode on how to perform the Indian Needle trick?

ps. I've found a new correlation between the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. if you have been, thanks for watching. seriously, the digital root of this function will always be a Fibonacci number and there's a pattern that repeats every 40th something value. I've written a python program but i really need, Mathematica.

[@johnholmstrom4212]

Whoa! I recently subbed to Numberphile again on this account, and suddenly there's a crossover with ScamNation?!! Insane lol

[@RvnKnight]

Been subbed to both of you for a while. I'm also a huge fan of cryptography and my own encryption algorithm that has yet to be broken. I love this format, but I would say it should be done maybe once a month where you interview/talk with someone in a field as such. It brings a good variety to the channel.

[@JNCressey]

:o You have made an encryption algorithm? Would it break it to share the method?

[@RvnKnight]

@@JNCressey 512b key, split into 8 subkeys. Each round a subkey is XORd with the plain text, then bits are swapped followed by bytes being swapped. This continues for several rounds. Once finished, the message is XNORd with the original key. Because the bits and bytes are swapped are swapped around like they are, and there are technically 9 keys, a standard brute Force attack would take an extremely long time.

[@JNCressey]

@@RvnKnight, cool. Does that mean it is like XORing it by 9 different keys?

[@RvnKnight]

@@JNCressey yes and then XNORing it by another

[@JNCressey]

@@RvnKnight, I think this might be equivalent to one key since XOR is accociative.

For a multiple of 9, the sum of the digits add to a multiple of 9. 2+1+7+7+2-0+0 is 19. Only multiple of 9 within a single digit to that is 27, so the missing digit must be 8.

[@dannyvizor3403]

When you tell them to choose a digit just say if there's any 0s then just ignore them so if they choose a 9 you'll know for sure
