I recently got the opportunity to create Gerrymandering Puzzles for the newspaper The Guardian! Go check these puzzles out! And seeing as the article links to my Tumblr, hello to everyone finding me from that! A little bit more background on who I am, I make YouTube videos about math stuff located here. I have made two videos on gerrymandering puzzles, how to solve them, and their mathematical properties. Here is the first one, in case you are interested! I also make other videos about math, shapes, and data analysis, my most recent video is about analyzing the data of thousands of people who submitted answers to the question "What colour is each school subject?" A lot more stuff is coming soon!

sooo my script for my next video, which I intended to be around 8 pages long (8 pages usually means a 20 minute video) has hit 21 pages. what can I say, cellular automata is just that cool (I’m gonna have to split this into two videos or else I’ll lose my mind)

game theory video not even out yet and I finished the script for the video after that

No Google sheets, I do not want to convert to dropdown chips. Not once in my life have I ever wanted to convert to dropdown chips, and you should stop telling me that I should!

As a kid, I always hated cake, but I liked cupcakes, and everyone would always call me insane for having that opinion, because what’s the difference??? As a kid I never had the words or understanding of why, but now as an adult I can confidently say exactly why. It’s not the cake itself that I dislike, it’s the icing, and cakes tend to have layers of icing in the middle, which makes it impossible to work around. Cupcakes on the other hand only have icing on the top, which can be easily removed. Take that, annoying people from when I was a kid!

UPDATE on the game theory video, now that my semester is basically over, I’ve finally been able to get on it, and the video editing portion is now 17.89% done! That doesn’t sound like a lot, but this is by far my longest video yet, and all of that is within 2 days, so that’s pretty good.

I have some really really cool shit coming after I do the game theory video. So interesting, that I am in fact working on it right now, because it is directly correlated to work I am doing for a class. I get to do classwork and YouTube projects at the same time because they are one and the same in this instance

Aliens. Specifically aliens that are as advanced as we are. Do you think aliens also name their mathematical ideas after whoever discovered them? Like the Fibonacci sequence was named by that Fibonacci guy. This would make language translations pretty weird, especially when it comes to mathematicians who do more than just one thing. Like imagine in an alien species, the person who came up with the fibonacci sequence and Pascal’s triangle are the same alien person so both are named after him, but the same word same person splits into two different words in English. Actually, this is the dumbest fucking thing I ever have devoted this much thought to in my entire life end post

be excited for the coming months btw. I have my next five videos all planned out, the next one is the form obviously, but after that I have some really cool shit I can't wait to get out there. Video #2 has all the research done and a script around 70% done, Video #3 has most of the research done, these two are a part one and part two. Video #4 and #5 I have the concept of but haven't started working on yet.
