I hate Math!
It was my worst subject way back in school. After my kids were grown, I enrolled in college. Had an absolutely awesome professor that made it not only fun,but fascinating too! Pretty sure if my grade school teachers had that approach, I would have loved math growing up😊
Mike, the fastest way to solve a rubics cube is by peeling off the coloured stickers and matching them up 😂😂
I once knew someone who had a rubics cube that had 4 segments squared per side instead of 3.
@@timothyweers8054 I can't even do the 3 square ones! My son in law, who's colour blind, can do it in under a minute!!
False. Pop the pieces off and reassemble. WAY faster and undetectable
@@kylethoren1949 I forgot about that one! We used to do that to screw with my youngest brother. He could finish them pretty quickly!
@@kylethoren1949came here to say just this! So true and the sign of *real* genius.
Grab a set of standard issue 6 sided dice. Roll one die. Add the number it lands upon to the number on the opposite side of the die. The total will always be 7.
But my favorite, which Sheldon Cooper mentioned in the 73rd episode of the Big Bang Theory show, is the objective fact that 73 is the best number.
73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the 12th, and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying seven and three. And in binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001.
My dad had his masters in math and every time I would ask him to help me with my homework if I tried to understand in a certain way past him he would blow up at me. I began to hate not only math but the fact that I hated people tutoring me because they made me feel stupid and I was wasting their time.
That makes me glad my late father was an English and Latin teacher, because I aced my O Level English Language British school exam, with a grade A.
@@julianaylor4351 My dad was a math major and my mom was an English major I got nothing except for love doing art lol.
My dad always said ‘I went to school already.. study more, do more practice examples, don’t be lazy-you’ll get it. He was right
My dad was the same way. He was a literally a genius who held the record for the highest score in math in the Navy exam for fourth years. He was right too, just don't be lazy, remind myself that I'm better at math than I think and I'd understand.
It’s funny every year since my birthday is 3/14 or Pi. Every year on my birthday I get to wish everyone happy Pi day.
My personal mind blowing fact about mathematics, was I thought I was bad at it, until I took over my late mother's household, in 2008 and spent years doing that, then realised I did know how to do it. 😁
Why don't plants like to do math? It gives them square roots!
A wonderful groaner.
42 is the number from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") can be derived. That's all the math you need to know. Your welcome. Now I have to go get pizza , cookies and pie. ummmmm pie.
Absolutely!!
It took me a long time to grasp the concept that something times nothing equals nothing.
This one still bugs me, but it's really about humans' inability to truly verbalize math concepts. "Dividing 4 by nothing" isn't the same as "not dividing by 4 by anything".
Ouch, m'head.
I hated math so *so* much growing up. But in college, I started really enjoying it when we got into the theoretical stuff and started covering certain concepts that were rooted in it. It was honestly really cool. I still wasn't great at it and always got help when I could. But it was the most fun I ever had in a math class
give me stats...
all day long
I really really wish that they would apply more math in terms of real world scenarios. That would make kids want to learn math more.
Like having a 24 pack of water how much would it cost to pay for that if you were to get it out of the vending machine?
Or how budgeting works better when you apply it in a very simple and not so technical manner.
My daughter HATED math, she just couldn't wrap here head around it! She got a job in retail and had to make change every day, hundreds of times! That's when she finally "got" math.
Real world math is so much easier for kids to learn.
36 dallers at 1.50 a piece from the machine 😂srry had too ahhhh lol
@@merrileeheard3889 for sure I got into liking by wanting to run a business from doing simple math.
The only way I understood algebra is when it was applied to automechanics in my senior year of high school....
A student these days? A vending machine? "IDK, I stick the card in- it beeps- I pull the card out."
Fellow math teacher here. Love this video! I’m surprised you didn’t discuss the most popular or relevant equations in the universe. As an aside, if ever the given the chance, I’d recommend taking a History of Math class. Best class I got to take in undergrad! Keep up the awesome content, Mike. 😄
I watched a video about the history of humans getting to calculus. I thought it was very interesting. I remember taking calc. My freshman year of college, and Florida public school didn’t give me the firmest grasp on algebra. I thought, how did humans even come up with this? Thank god I had a great professor that told me to withdrawal and he helped me on his off time with an algebra book from the 50s. He told me not to worry it didn’t change.
Absolutely. I love history as well as maths so I always used the history to enrich my maths lessons. Making it relevant and FUN was so important 😊
In The Simpsons, Apu could recite pi to 40,000 places. The last digit was 1.
The thing with the number 4 in Japan, it has an alternate pronunciation, there is "shi", which is the same word for death, but to avoid confusion it can also be pronounced as "yon". The Japanese number for 7 gets the same treatment, as it is pronounced as "shichi", which as you can see, it contains the word for death, so it gets the alternate pronunciation of "nana".
Hates math in school ends up being a professional carpenter.. well crap , I guess I enjoy math ………. Good seeing you again mike , you guys are on a roll !!!!!! Props to everyone at list 25 .
I spend way too much time with kids. I thought you were talking about Play-doh 😂
Me too 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
My daughter in laws mother has her Birthday on December 12th, our "shared" grandaughter was born on December 12th AND our grandson was ALSO born on December 12th!
Thought it was about math,talks about food...now I'm hungry.
π isn't a weird symbol, it's the Greek alphabet's equivalent of P. Technically "p", as Π is P (nearest the keyboard makes it).
Re "odd males", I had (still have, fortunately!) four kids. They came in the order:
#1 son
#2 daughter
#3 son
#4 daughter!
So it seemed to work with us lol.
I love this number 1973 because it's the year Tolkien died, and if you know Lord of the Rings, you'll know how crazy it is that he died on that number because of the number of rings. 1 (One Ring), 9 (Nine Rings for Men), 7 (Seven rings for the Dwarves), and 3 (Three Rings for Elves).
I was born in 1973 so I think it’s cool
Had not realized that so cool
I find a baker's dozen donuts with thirteen donuts dangerous... to my waistline.
😋😁
You mentioned how the number four is looked upon superstitiously in Asian countries, Mike, and was kinda expecting you to mention triple-6, but was surprised you didn't. Lots of people are superstitious of that number, too... It has very malevolent associations with it...
Pi is a Greek letter. It's been around WAYYYY before the 18th century.
Hey Mike, while watching your list 25 on math, the Pythagorean theorem is easily calculated for a right angle. 3 4 5 and any multiple of these numbers. If the adjacent is 3 feet, and the opposite is 4 feet, the hypotenuse will be 5 feet exactly. And that's how we we square for construction. Love your videos, keep up the good work 👍👍
Googol not googolplex is 10 with 100 zeros after it (10p100). Googolplex is 10 with a googol zeros after it. ......... . A typical book can be printed with 10p6 zeros (around 400 pages with 50 lines per page and 50 zeros per line). Therefore, it requires 10p94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10p93 kilograms. In comparison, Earth's mass is 5.972 × 10p24 kilograms, the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 2.5 × 10p42 kilograms, and the total mass of all the stars in the observable universe is estimated at 2 × 10p52 kg.
Yes, except that a googol is a one followed by one hundred zeros, not a ten.
Lego on the floor is evil. 😵💫
#13 is also considered unlucky because "according to Templar legend, Grand Master Jacques de Molay was executed on Friday the 13th. De Molay cursed both the king and Pope Clement V at the time of his death and over time - after the curses apparently came to fruition after the king and the pope died"
Try this the next time you’re bored.
Take any number that is a perfect square. For example, 25. Add its square root (5) and the next highest number (6) together, then add that sum to 25. The resulting number, 36, is the next perfect square. This works on any number that is a perfect square.
5x5=25
5+6=11
25+11 = 36
6x6 =36
When A and B are two consecutive positive intigers, B squared = A squared +A +B. Picture a chessboard.
More UK people eat Turkey, Chicken, Beef, Lamb or Salmon for Christmas dinner than Goose, although it is becoming more popular as are goose fat roast potatoes.
It's pretty good when Mike can make math interesting 😊. Thank you Mike for another awesome video. ❤
This is one of the most boring and disinteresting videos I've ever watched. The title promised "mind blowing facts".... well, it wasn't. I turned it off after 4 minutes.
Thank mike love ur work
Math teacher here - The magic of 9 didn't make the list?
I was actually expecting the number 9 to be in the top three. There are so many ways that it is used, especially in magic. I'm 83 and wouldn't be able to recall them, but I know one of my college math teachers showed the class many tricks with 9.
Apparently, a baker's dozen is unlucky. The number of different combinations in a deck of cards is more than the number of atoms in the universe. A flock Canada geese was the cause of the Miracle on the Hudson. Mike from Florida would die at both -40C and -40F but I've seen it many times! I loved playdough as a kid! 😀
I was under the impression that we don't know the size of the universe yet, how is it possible that we know how many atoms are in it ?
This is defined by what is called the "observable universe" despite what may lie beyond it. The number of variations in how the 52 cards in a deck can be arranged is 52! or over 8.0658 x 10^67, as Mike stated in item 11. It is generally accepted by astrophysicists that the average star contains about 10^57 atoms in a star and there are about 10^23 stars in the known universe (an educated guess because it can't all be counted individually) for a total of 10^80 to 10^82 atoms, clearly larger than the number of card combinations. A Google search for "number of atoms in the universe" will give you many links with similar results, so regardless of what is estimated vs. what there might actually be is still larger.
I've always loved math 😊 I look for equations in things like phone numbers to help me remember them. I live in western Colorado where the streets that run north-south are numbered and have fractions, as do the house numbers. So when I bought my house I was thrilled to have a house number with a half and street with a fraction. Fun fact: the numbered streets are assigned based on how far they are from the Utah border.
I knew the bit about 40 below being the same as I used to live in Fraser Colorado (icebox of the nation) so I've experienced that temperature 🥶
Mike - Question, since it wasn't touched on in the list. Why isn't Forty spelled like Four and Fourteen, with the 'our'?
Thanks again for sharing
Cut the cake twice and then cut it sideways/horizontally into two layers. Gives 8 pieces with three cuts with no rearranging needed (of course it might not split the icing into eight but that's a different matter.)
I don't usually comment, BUT...
There's an interesting math fact that would have fit into this video beautifully. With any two people, figure out the year that the first person turns the age of the other person's birth year, and it will always be the same year when done in reverse, where the second person will also turn the age of first person's birth year. I discovered this a couple of years ago and have yet to find where anyone else has ever mentioned this. Love your channel. Keep up the good work yall. Peace. Jason Collier of Lufkin, tx. God Bless.
A fun little riddle I use to use a camp to keep scouts occupied was" The Magic Number" pick a number between one and ten, then count the number of letters in that number and get to the magic number. One is Three, Three is Five, Five is Four, and for is the magic number.
I'm going to have to listen to those one again sometime.
😮 WOW that was a cool video!!!! For me as a math despiser, that's a huge compliment!!! So Mike could you please check on impossible numbers please, thanks from Heather in Iowa ❤️.
Yep! My mind is properly blown! Thanks Mike😳😊
Thank you Mike! I always struggled with math. I never could do algebra, calculus or anything like that
9:56 everyday is someone's birthday. Someone had a birthday yesterday, someone has a birthday today, someone will have their birthday tomorrow
I'm late, but you're gonna like this. Mike, try a pepperoni pizza with blue cheese crumbles on top. It's best to add the blue cheese after baking the pi(e).
I don't have that pizza place in my area. LOL nor the place you get the cookies.
Most of our counting numbers, calendar numbers, and astronomical calculations come from the Byzantine empire. The measuring system that we use is Roman because of the Romans soldiers basic foot size was 12 in.😊
In my family, we include the dog’s birthday. We are always celebrating a birthday.
I love Blaze Pizza! the Mike Special sounds amazing!
13 hasn't been unlucky for me. I was even born on Friday the 13th.
Icing on cakes...😋 especially the royal icing and marzipan on UK Christmas cakes. One of the worst things about cooking cakes, is wanting to eat the icing you're putting on them.....😁😋.
Don't forget 1089. Pick 3 numbers. No repeating. Ex, 951, now reverse the order and subtract. 951-159=792. Now reverse and add. 792+297=1089 You will get 1089. No matter what the first 3 are it will always be 1089 at the end using this formula.
The fastest way to solve a Rubix Cube is to disassemble it and put it back together again.
Math blows my mind. Math hates me. I hate it.
Joins your club.
The term 'baker's dozen' reminds me of Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death
Interesting video as always! 😁
Thanks! 😃
@@list25 No problem! 😀
Maybe you could explore the math of Sudoku.
The Why Files
I heard a bakers dozen was so the baker could try one and still have 12
We should probably start worrying about water when it stops raining.
You guys might have covered this on an earlier list, but there exists a number of chaos.
The number of feet in a mile. 5280 or 5 tomatoes or 5 to mate o.
Infinity is a mind-blowing mathematical thing. Add two of them together and you get the same thing you started with. Infinity times 2 is, well, you know!
The number 9. When you multiply a number by nine, the sum of the digits in the product always adds up to 9, i e. 4×9=36 3+6=9
Goo job!
yay, math...(said in a sarcastic monotone voice) and to Mr. Blose (algebra) who said you're not going to always have access to a calculator, who's laughing now.....
Yes, you left something out: the details of how Plato arrived at that number! However, thus far, i DO enjoy your channel despite the woefully incomplete descriptions in your, now several, 25's... keep on, homie!

I find the number 9 fascinating. This little trick doesn't work every time, but when it does... All right, take, let's say, a five digit number (probably works best with five digits or more), like 59714, add the numbers, in this case the total is 26, add the 2 and 6 which is 8, eliminate the 8 (or a combination adding up to 8, in this case the 7 and 1. We are left with 5 9 and 4, which adds up to 18. 5 and 4 is 9, and the other 9. If this works, the answer should always be 9 or a multiple of 9. 2614738 - total is 31,. 3 and 1 is 4, remove the 4, leaves 261738, total is 27, remove the 6 and 3, leaves 2178, which leaves 2 and 7, and 8 and 1, which add up to 9. Try it.
Now for something completely different: I'm thinking of a two digit number. If you add the two digits, you get 4, if you subtract them, you get 1, if you multiply them, you get 4, if you divide them, you get 1. Should be easy enough. You can try these math tricks on your friends.
Look up Orange Kangaroo in Denmark. I used it all the time bartending. Blows everybody's mind.
You'll see the correlation in what I speak of. Its pretty cool.
Great story about one of your previous jobs, Mike! 😁
My favorite was geometry 🙂. Yes, you are making me hungry😄
I see images in tree bark... me and math don't click
Base twelve?! My mom had to learn how to use it for her education classes back in the early 60s. She always said it was the only completely useless thing she ever learned.
What a weird connection-- I should go figure out my Kevin Bacon number!
When I asked for help with word problems, my father (chemistry major and educator) wouldn’t help me until I’d drawn a picture of it.
You stated that a Googplplex is "1 with 100 zeros after it" but that's a Googol, not a Googolplex (your image even showed that it was a Googol.) A Googolplex is "1 with a Googol zeros after it." If you were to write out a Googolplex, the mass of the books needed would be roughly ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the mass of the observable universe.
16:36 "the fastest way to cut a cake into 8 peices is with 3 cuts."
It looks like whomever wrote the script never cut any cake because there are so many problems with the example. Ill give you my top 3.
1) if stacking is required to make the peices even then the second cut isnt stacked so that cut may not be even.
2) stacking needs to be done carefully. Three times peices need to be carefully aligned and is not fast..
3) cutting 4 peices requires the knife to go through 4 peices of cake instead of 2 in a faster method.
So unless this example is comment bait, it is much faster to simply cut the quarters into eights with 4 cuts. No stacking required and it works with icing or any other cake decorations.
Mike's thermometer doesn't show -40F and -40C as equal. Where did you get that thermometer?
I knew about -40°C and -40°F being equal.
In Big Bang Theory they had a discussion of the number 73.
I live in a block of flats and there's a flat 12 and a flat 14 but not a flat 13.
My brother had his 13th birthday on Friday 13th October 1995
Can someone explain to me the Pie one? I've been staring at it for minutes on end and I still don't get it😅
Watching from Ireland
I almost clicked away, but you get a vote because I didn't HAVE to this time. I'm a lifelong engineer who does love math -- since 3rd grade.
I thought a baker's dozen was 13---b/c the baker got to eat one !
beautifully. With any two people, if you figure out which year the first person will become the age of the birth year of the other person,
👍
I was bad
at math in
School so
I was a
Carpet for
47 years 🤷♂️
A I was Good
At it who would
Have known
Honest to God truth, My sister is 9 years older than me, my husband is 9 years older than me. Im 9 years older than my nephew, my stepson is 9 years older than my daughter. Also my daughter’s birthday day is 11/25 which also equals 9. Coincidence…..?
Pumpkin pie too, don't forget Pumpkin pie lol So delicious
B4 watching. I hated math. But loved Pascal's triangle. I never learned it after being taught it by and brainsiac sister in its.
I learned about the -40 degrees from an Isaac Asimov short story.
I'm pretty sure no.12 was wrong. He described a googol. A googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol number of zeros.
I'm sure it has already been mentioned you're definition of as a Google is correct, but a Googleplex is a one with a Google of zeros behind it.
Which, according to Carl Sagan's original cosmos. There is not enough room in the known universe to write out.
Mike:" Is there a beautiful number?"
Me: "ummm 69!!!"
My girlfriend "What, are you 12???"
"A particularly determined goose" - - Mike @ List 25
You weren't a fan of math in school? That was my best subject. but i cant see pie in pi because i always count Pi to 3.141 at minimum, depends on the situation.
4=fish change my mind.
A googol is 1 follow by a hundred zeros. A googolplex is 1 followed by a googol of zeros.
Math beat me up and stole my lunch money as a kid, it killed my great grandparents before they met and it wet my bed.
Unrelated I can attest that Blaze Pizza is actually great and you should try it. It’s fast, relatively cheap, tastes great.
I will also add that after eating at blaze pizza I have not been attacked by were-raptors which are like werewolves but raptors…..not the lame bird kind that suck. The badass jurassic park kind.
Anyway eat blaze pizza
Umm weren’t the Templars all arrested on a Friday the 13th?
We don’t eat goose for Christmas in the uk, traditionally anyway.
40 is only spelt in alphabetical order in America 😉
Hah haa. My much older sister made me dislike math from very young age. I like all those toppings on my pizza....and shrimp & tuna fish. I have learned over the years how amazing math really is. It rocks. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to know. Nice cards. I've had few 🍻. Long & interesting video. Finish tomorrow 👋
