CORRECTIONS - 00:23 I say "August 22" which is wrong: this Tuesday is August 20. Please don't tell my publishers I got that wrong. - At 16:50 I say "eight times" which is completely wrong and not part of the formula. No idea what was going on there. The onscreen value (and everything else I say) is correct. - Let me know if you spot anything else!

CAN YOU SOLVE IT: You have to divide 100 loaves between 5 men in such a way that the shares received shall be in arithmetical progression. And that 1/7 of the sum of the largest 3 shares shall be equal to the sum of the smallest 2. What is the difference of the shares?

CONJECTURE DISCLAIMER: We believe that the "there must exist a single-angle polyhedron for any angle θ with an algebraic sine" conjecture is true but don't have a nice proof. There seem to be all the required parts for the proof in papers by Sydler and Jessen, but it's not fully assembled.

Here is the OS Maps post about the triple alignment. https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/newsroom/news/three-norths-align-great-britain
However, if you watch their video be warned about when the diagonal line crosses the 2° line: their line slopes to the left and moves to the right, whereas my line slopes to the right and moves to the left. This is because the OS is drawing the zero-point for magnetic-vs-grid but I'm doing magnetic-vs-true. Which is a mirror image.

Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters who funded this ridiculous trip to the south coast of the UK to film a silly video. They also bought me two pints of beer and one packet of crisps. Which were all totally key props/research and not a mis-use of Patreon support funds. Support me and maybe next time I'll get a second packet of crisps. https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths
Bonus thanks to Christopher James who put a link to the OS article about this in a maths communication whatsapp group with the message "I hope someone is planning to visit and make an interesting video about this." And thanks to Colin Beveridge who answered some key questions about it in that group.

CORRECTIONS - 10:49 Yes, I said "converges" by accident when filming and I dropped in a "diverges" in the edit. I don't think anyone will notice. - I think my big divergent observation may not hold! Clarence Lam was the first to spot that the lead n out the front of the series can explain the increasing times without the series itself needing to diverge. I suspect there is still an argument to be made around the rate at which times go up outpacing n, but I’m not sure it’ll be super intuitive. -Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!

This site was super helpful at explaining the history and math of apportionment. As always though, verify the specifics of the data yourself (but all the general points are definitely correct). https://www.maa.org/press/periodicals/convergence/apportioning-representatives-in-the-united-states-congress-introduction

George Washington was voiced by my friend Ben Moor. They are in The Queen's Gambit!
The Voice of Alabama is voiced by The Voice of Alabama. They are in Alabama!

CORRECTIONS - I didn't bother showing me locking cell references in the animations. Things like "=B4/B2" should have been "=B4/$B$2" so I could drag the formula down. We took that out in the interest of clarity. - Yes, at 13:20 I say "the divisor ceases to lose some of its strict meaning" which is the opposite of what I meant! the sentence needs but the one negative. Either of these would work: "the divisor loses some of its strict meaning" OR "the divisor ceases to have some of its strict meaning". - Sorry, at 16:47 column D is wrong. These are different numbers using 880 but the values over in E use the correct 930. It's just a display issue and does not change the results (despite being a bit confusing!). Spotted by a few people including Thomas Klemm and AverageJon. - Let me know if you spot anything else.

And as you may have noticed, the laser video with Seb is not out yet. I think it's going to trail this one by quite a while.
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters funded this video. Normally I would just visit a maths museum and have a fun day out. But thanks to you all, I was able to hire a camera person to follow me around. Plus I did a day of prep-work writing code before my visit and a day of generating plots after the visit. That's thanks to Patreon. (Who am I kidding; I would have done the coding and plots anyway.) https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths

CORRECTIONS - At 14:13 I say the mass "of the submersible" when I should be talking about the mass of water above the submersible. -At 31:34 I say "grams" instead of "kilograms". Which takes some of the air out of my unit bashing. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!
