This was taken from my stream on September 23rd 2022! Catch me live Monday to Friday here: / northernlion When I don't know what to play, I play Sporcle. It's perfect!
There's a universe where NL realizes he actually enjoys mathematical thinking before choosing his major and pursues a degree that actually pays the bills in a field he enjoys and correspondingly leaves us devoid of POGs
he's mentioned that he took a few math courses in uni cuz he enjoyed them. Got to something second year and found it a bit much, but he gave it a shot!
@@tsawy6 I think he only took up to calculus 1 and then maybe did some linear algebra when he was pursuing CS. Plenty of people have trouble with calculus initially but eventually you realize it's 90% algebra at that level.
Him doing everything right, solving each case of the dice rolls flawlessly, correcting his mistakes as he went, coming up with the correct answer for the "difference of 2 between rolls" and then simplifying the damn fraction wrong LMFAOOOOO
i thought my 60 year old mind was decaying fast after not being able to identify all those TV sitcoms of the previous quizzes as quickly as NL, but I can do the maths much faster than him, so not completely senile yet!
My friend has a chemical engineering degree, people feel the need to ask him chemistry questions and he just goes "idk, why are you asking me trivia questions?"
this is so fucking true. Its especially annoying because people assume youre some kind of PhD chemist and know everything. Im not a fucking chemist dude I just solve math problems about pipes.
Chemical engineering involves 90% less chemistry than most people assume. It's almost all math and physics with a tiny bit of chemistry for accounting for chemical reactions in a process.
how many complex chemistry questions does the average person know, though? I feel like anything beyond 'what happens when you mix an acid and a base', he could just give whatever answer he wants.
My dude forgot about the union rule of probability. Pr(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B). That's because if you counted the cases in which A happens, and add the cases in which B happens, you've counted the ones in which both happen twice. If my dude refreshed his memory on the rules of probability he'd ace those quizzes in no time

29:38 Okay, I know that's the math answer, but if you flip a coin 100 times and it comes up all heads, that shit is absolutely loaded. The probability is 1 in 2^100, or roughly 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 -- you would be better off gambling on where I parked my car inside the sun. The odds are the same as flipping a coin 100 times and correctly guessing every flip. No way buster, not on my planet
3M-1F and 3F-1M are individually less likely than a 2-2 split (1/4 each vs 3/8) but if it can be either, then combined together it's 1/2 which is greater than the 3/8 for 2-2.
Ryan has some number of blueberries in his hand. Mike has that many and 84 more blueberries in each of his 8 hands. the total number of blueberries in Mike's hands is the number of blueberries in Ryan's hand factorial. How many blueberries does Ryan have if they expired a week ago?
"Why are there so many quizzes of the Periodic table" "Its not like they are adding new stuff in it", Well yes they are, every time they discover new elements they do add it to the periodic table. If you look at the periodic table from the 2000s and now, you will see a difference, for example in 2015 they added 4 new ones.
6:35 “6! is 720. (84 + 6 ) x 8 = 720…. no so it’s gotta be 7. “ Afterwards, proceeds to say 6! isn’t 720 😂 NL’s conscious gets in the way of his genius subconscious.
If you are talking about the fifth one on the second quiz, he forgets to excluded the jack (higher than) and count the other red suit. He says 26/52 and 4 is 30/52 which is 15/26. Should be 26/52 (all the black cards) and 6 (queen king ace of diamonds and hearts) is 32/52 which is 8/13. Overall pretty good by the seat of his pants. Edit* On second thought, youre right, he could've just forgot the aces.

At 31:00, can anyone explain how three kittens being one gender and one being the other is more likely than 2 boys 2 girls? I'm sleep deprived as hell atm and I cant figure it out lmao
Very late, but think of the outcomes. There are 16 total outcomes, how many of those are when half the cats are male and the other half female? Well you can have (M,M,F,F) (M,F,F,M) (F,F,M,M) (M,F,M,F) (F,M,F,M) (F,M,M,F) for six total. Now think of three being on gender and the last being the other gender, you have (M,M,M,F) (M,M,F,M) (M,F,M,M) (F,M,M,M) and the same set but with Fs and Ms switched, so that’s eight. A more general way to show it would be to say there are 4C2 ways of ordering two of each gender, and 4C3 ways of ordering three of one gender, so for the 50/50 split it’s simply 4C2 = 6 and for the three of one/one of the other it’s 4C3 = 4 for three male, and another 4C3 = 4 for three female for a total of 8.
@@rijsmiddel8765 this is where I think probability makes no sense because if it were two sets of two separately then each set of two would be more likely to be 1 of each gender by the same logic but when combined it's no longer true. Half of me thinks that parts of math were created so people can act like they're smarter even though it makes no sense.
The thing about the UK trillion is massively outdated. Long enough ago that I can kind of remember it happening, but I'm old enough that I can no longer remember exactly when. The entire world now uses the same system - for obvious reasons.
Anyone willing to explain to me why the dice roll involves permutations and not combinations? Seems to me order of the dice wouldn’t matter when finding probability i.e. denominator would be 21 instead of 36
assume for a moment, that the dice have different color. than you can distinguish them. green 5 and red 3 is different from green 3 and red 5. but now if you make them the same again, that cannot change the probability.
@@Nowolf that's a cryptic reply... what do you mean by "result"? but you are right, you cannot just assume the same chances for every result. you can only do that if you define your results in an appropriate way. eg the numbers on distinguishable dice.
7:40 wth, I don't think I ever learned about factorials in school 😂 Either that or it was taught once and never again and I just forgot I just read that != as a "not equal"
This man is unbearably slow with these equations. But then again it's been 20 years since he's done these equations, and it's been like 24 hours for me.
He talked about how some people can’t stand cringe humor, I feel the same way about this. I get he’s going slowly on purpose for content but it infuriates me to no end and I can’t explain why lmao.
The "people ask you the same questions when they find out you have a degree" is exactly the same as when they find out you speak a second language. Literally everyone always says: "SAY SOMETHING!!!!!", then, no matter what you say, the next thing is always "WHAT'S THAT MEAN"??!?!?"

Start with 1/8. Also, 1 = 1/1
