    Never ask the audience for answers to maths questions. The average person can't do much more than basic arithmetic.

    He didn’t even know the simple Pythagorean theorem and it’s a special right triangle specifically the 3-4-5 right triangle.

    I keep coming back to his face at 2:15. He was honestly surprised and in disbelief.
    Out of all the answers, I think he personally ranked '25' dead last and just didn't get it.

    All answers are correct:
    A) 16 = 0^2+4^2
    B) 25 = 0*2+5^2 and also 3^2+4^2
    C) 36 = 0^2+6^2
    D) 49 = 0^2+7^2
    They are only accepting correct answers with squares greater than zero, but they do not state this in the question, which is a mistake on the part of the question constructor.

      thats not correct, 16 and 4^2 is the same number. And the question states, "of two smaller square numbers". This means that only B works since bot 9,16 < 25

    So did the audience apologize for getting it wrong?

      Did the guy apologize for being an empty-skull?
      Edit: in response to the guy below, you will notice there is no "I don't know" option for the audience in the first place

      You didn't even read the question carefully

      Did you think 16 because of bad math or becuase you didnt understand the question?
