    I love it, Litotes at work from the first sentence; this won't be the worst video... :D

    Wonderful vid! It wouldn't be objectionable if the missing "not" at 1:04 were fixed or pointed out, though.

    Your text is missing the "not" in the Josephus sentence.

    These weren't the worst two minutes I chose to invest to learn thing not so useless.

    'It was not good' , 'It was not bad' . Can both these sentences be litotes? Please reply.

      They can be as long you're using them as understatements! "It was not good" could just be a simple statement of fact, but it becomes litotes if you say it instead of saying, "It was really terrible."
