Ironically, if someone uses a high completely pattern to make their phone more secure, they're actually _less_ secure if the attacker knows they're using one of the 296 max-complexity patterns.

[@dickurkel6910]

Hackers will try the most obvious ones first though, especially the least complex ones such as the example that was shown in the beginning (the one with only 2 slopes). If the hackers were aware of these max-complexity patterns, it seems the most secure would be the ones that are in-between, with around 4-5 slopes. Edit: Actually, thinking about this again, if they were aware of only the max-complexity slopes, the most secure would be the patterns containing 7 slopes, as those would be the most complex while them still not knowing about them. Additionally, you could even try to have less than 8 lines if they test all the ones with 8 lines first.

No, because the basic L shape pattern and most other basic patterns would be less secure anyway. Not to mention there are a bunch of "most complex patterns" and a random guesser doesn't know which one is right.

The thing about "most complex" is that when someone looks over your shoulder it's much harder to memorise than an L or a V or some square.

His choice of definition of complexity is completely arbitrary. I would define complexity as the maximum length of the line. This video has no real mathematical value.

In case of a 2 dot quebe you would have 8 dots to connect, but 23 =(4×5+3)paths to draw, even if you multiply the 4 paths from the 2d problem by the 3 planes, you would need to draw at least 4×3 pathes wich is more paths than you can get in 8 dots. Same think for 3×3×3 cube I found 63 = 15×4+3 pathes wich is once again larger than the 27 available dots. In this case it would be maybe possible to fit the 8 2dpathes times the 3 planes equals 24.

There are actually 3 kinds of symmetries here: rotation, reflection and order reversal. None of the patterns in the 296 have rotation or reflection symmetry so you could just divide by 8 to get 37. But 16 of them occur in 8 pairs with order reversed. Using this as well, the number of distinct patterns can be shrunk down to 29. The only criterion which prevents a pattern from being order reversible is the 4th rule of android lock pattern.

[@DrZye]

Yes, this is correct! I thought about getting rid of the reversed patterns, but I couldn't find a prettier way to present the two categories(reversible and not reversible) together.

Max respect for you, not just for you work in the proofs, but in this extremely well made and animated video. For your effort I hope this video blows up!

[@TehSnaH]

You forgot about one feature of a pattern that I would consider complexity. I will try my best to explain the pattern complexity feature that I would call "fake skipping". It is whenever a pattern goes back over an already drawn edge (e.g. a pattern that includes the sequence: 2, 1, 3). If a person is shown a drawing of a pattern that includes a fake skip they would not know the order of the drawn edges and therefore the pattern would have multiple ways to be drawn, but only one correct way. I would consider patterns with fake skips to be more secure against an attacker that somehow has an image of your pattern, since there are extra possible ways to draw the pattern.

[@fuuryuuSKK]

With Zye's definition of complexity, there can only be one line of each slope, and fake skips necessitate two lines of the same slope. The pattern would also have to begin or end on the fake-skip doubleback, since otherwise the pattern can be identified even more easily, since its order can only include the middle point before the others, accessed by a line to the middle, then the fake skip is performed, and the direction it is performed in is clearly identifiable due to the leaving line. Even then, the only unclarity would be, in the case of a starting fake skip, whether it is a fake skip, a regular line or a regular line at the end of the pattern (assuming the other end is not a fake skip, as that would dictate the direction), or in the case of an ending fake skip whether it goes in one direction or the other. Thus it is possible to have a pattern, featuring a starting fakeskip and an ending fake skip, that cannot be guaranteed to be guessed even if the attacker knows the shape of the code, since both ends' fake skips obfuscate which direction they are performed in and as such the attacker has a 25% chance, assuming equal probability of each pattern, to be locked out of the phone. For an example pattern demonstrating what I am talking about, 58231 could well be 85231, 58213 or 85213 as well. However, this is now a fully different matter of complexity as compared to the problem posited by Zye.

[@gudmundurjonsson4357]

try it yourself#1 you get the desired pattern after the 18349 sequence (at 3:47) with 7526. 17 gives the 0-slope, 75 the 1-slope, 52 the inf-slope, and finally 26 would give the -1 slope. #2, after seeing the initial reasoning for the -2 slope: similar reasoning can be made to conclude that the -0.5 slope has to be 94, with similar reasoning again we conclude that the -1 slope will only ever fit in 48 again the +2 slope will only fit in 83, inf-slope only fits in 36, from there the +0.5 and +1 are trivial and 67 , 75 respectively. #3: done without hint for an NxN grid any combination of integers a,b less than N will give a valid slope. Considering the no crossing points rule, this constrains us to the reduced fractions of a/b as the slopes. This then means that: The number of slopes is defined by all the coprime pairs a,b less than N. for an MxN grid, where N>M, the same coprime logic holds, but one of the numbers must be less that M. correction after seeing video: this only counts the positive slopes #4 for k=2 there are 2*2+2 = 6 slopes which is not less than 2*3=6. for k=3 a single extra posetive slope is added, which would require two points to fit into a pattern, but 3 points are added so the inequality shifts to 3*2+2 = 8 < 9 = 3 * 3. And for k=4, two slopes are added along 3 points, the two slopes require 4 points, so they use the extra point added at k=3 to make it such that 4*2+4 = 3*4, and so the pattern continues forever. #5 tried a few patterns and could do it, i'm sadly not an avid enough lock patternoligist to keep trying to solve this one. Great video!

I sincerely hope you create more. The pacing, humor, explanations. All of it was amazing. Great work!

I'm actually speechless. Thank you for this video. I laughed so hard at some parts I had to pause, I legit paused just to sink in all the information with so much joy. Thank you.

Nerdy stuff? Great voice? Great editing? "Unnecessary" but intriguing concept? Humor? Undertale Music? Other music that fits perfectly? Damn, this video is made for me.

[@HottoCoffe]

This video is deeply amazing, not for the utility it might have, but for the passion and dedication put in this, all to lead to the simplest but coolest answer of the problem. Truly mindblowing.

[@weaselfranklin7478]

The amount of love & dedication. It seeps out of the video I can feel the hard work

[@greggregoryst7126]

I was sure i'd see something like 3 million views here, heh. Great stuff my man, really proud of your obsession with -stupid- math problems, and your abillity to solve them. This was fun to watch, good to hear due to decent hardware and overral loved it! Cant ask for more videos like that, because people dont come up with those problems daily, and neither do they solve them fast, but damn I would love to see more ;p

I cannot believe that this video only has 33k views. Everything from the amazing editing, writing and, of course, the math is spectacular. One of my fav videos on this platform. Keep it up, I look forward for more amazing videos

[@splargh373]

FYI, I was recommended your video from my home page, which is cool. I really liked your usage of humour and SFX. It made this video more lighthearted and engaging than other maths videos. The music and slick animation also makes the final end result strangely cathartic, cinematic and beautiful. The use of italics/bold font in the English captions at 22:17 was a nice touch. Great video!

[@k2storm]

와... 저도 고등학생때 이과생이었지만 그저 문제들만 푸는데 공부했던 수학을, 진짜 탐구(?)하고 싶어하는 부분에서 직관과 논리적으로 귀납해가는 그... 런것들을 이용해나간다는데서, 놀라웠습니다. 분명히 선생님같은 분들이, 이 세계의 혁신을 이뤄갈 수 있지 않을까 하는 생각이 듭니다... 대부분 이해한건 아니었지만 넋을 놓고 끝까지 시청했습니다!

[@Ash1raaa]

I’m still halfway through algebra 1 so 85% of this made absolutely 0 sense to me but the parts I could understand were pretty interesting and cool! Good job!

[@crosselsmith776]

[@tung-hsinliu861]

This is beautiful! Especially when you visualize the general solution at the end of the video, it's heart touching tbh. Imagine the sweat and frustration before getting that beautiful result. We can clearly hear his enthusiasm in this video!

[@aquilazyy1125]

24:40 I did it, after 1 hour’s worth of thinking. Can’t imagine what if you didn’t have the luck to find the exact pattern that can be this easily expanded as your first pattern (or did you actually have tried a lot of them and failed?). I think I’ll try expanding some of the other patterns to see if they also have such property.

I once had an bug where you could basically skip points like going from the upper right corner strait to the lower left corner without using the middle point when you where really carefull nobody could get even close to unlock my screen

[@alexanderreynolds7638]

Awesome video! I wonder what other definitions there are for "max complexity" which also map to our intuition. In the 3x3 case, it seems to produce patterns that certainly look complex. But the fact that "max complexity" patterns don't exist in certain sized grids acts like a litmus to me that the definition is not ideal: complex patterns of course exist within those grids, so it stands that there are some patterns which are "maximally complex" for those grids. One simple reformulation would just be to use the maximum possible number of slopes, rather than enforcing that it must use all slopes. One of the features of the 3x3 grids you showed was number of polygons created, which is a pretty interesting metric, and there will be a maximum for any size grid. Another metric which you didn't mention (but probably have thought about) is number of crossings

[@DrZye]

Yes, there can be better candidates for the definition! I just came up with this one because it seemed easiest to tackle.

Out of all the winners in the SoME contest I've seen so far, this is the single one it actually felt like I understood the general concept, and is the single one I was truly fascinated by. The timing of the questions for the viewers were spot-on, it really kept me suck in for the entire video(the UNDERTALE songs were great by the way).

This is the most beautiful math video I've seen and in fact it's better than a 3b1b (Grant's videos are still amazing)! This was completely mind blowing and it's one of the first videos I've seen which actually shows the whole problem solving process!

[@KissaloneComplex]

i have no idea how math works and i will never understand it, but i still watched till the end, because you have a nice voice, articulation and explained in a way that doesnt make me feel dumb for not understanding it, which most of my teachers never managed... so what i want to say is: nice video!

[@diligar]

Here’s my explanation for the sum of integers formula. Imagine making a staircase out of blocks, placing 1, then a column of two, then three, up to N. Now imagine duplicating your staircase and flipping it 180° to rest on top of the other staircase. What you have now is a rectangle of area N*(N+1). Since the staircase was exactly half of the rectangle, 1+2+3+…+N = N*(N+1) / 2
