    Happy Pi Day, or Half Tau Day...to mark the day, I've made my biggest spiral yet...and using a formula with Pi, I estimated the total dominos in this spiral to be 10178.75 dominos. I counted the dominos and the estimate was close. 10,059 dominos were actually used.
    Extras and full fall down in real time can be seen here:

    video length is3:14 and the time you start to build was 3:14

    @ShadowKid121 I see it now. they must rotate between a few more videos. Thanks for letting me know if was there.

    Haha! I found the two secret references to pi! I looked on the clock and it said that you started at 3:14, and the video lasts 3 minutes and 14 seconds! But all things aside, happy late pi day! I can't wait for next year's pi day on 3/14/15 (3.1415)!

    I've been subscribed for a couple of years now and think your videos are great, but one of the most amazing things is the way you edit, changing speeds and in this one the clock was genius. I never really thought before about how long your setups take. I was just imagining you did something like this in an afternoon. Now I have an even greater appreciation of the commitment involved.

  • @heiga002
    @heiga002 10 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    2 secrets!
    1: before the intro the video was 3:14 in length
    2: according to the clock you started at exactly 14 minutes past 3

    This video used to be 3:14 long, but after adding branding at the start, it's now 3:17....*sigh*

    • @dominoboy08

    • @flippycat
      @flippycat  10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      dominoboy08 weird, the player shows 3:14 initially, and then changes to 3:13...*sigh*

    • @dominoboy08
      @dominoboy08 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There appears to be a glitch on every single video where a second gets subtracted from the original displayed time once the video starts playing.

    @Turtlegarden1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was sent your Mother's Day Flippy cat in a news letter. I watched almost all the rest. What I don't understand is why so many people press dislike. These are very creative and although impermanent, they give lots of pleasure. it is very much like the Buddhist sand mandalas. Beautiful then destroyed. Anyway, thank-you for the beauty of it all.

  • @TSwany
    @TSwany 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Reference 1: the video is 3:14, so is π
    Reference 2: you said circle and the dominos went in a circle and there's a circle mentioned in π

  • @CosbyTheCaterpillar
    @CosbyTheCaterpillar 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Playfulpat that's just an estimate. the number pi is a number where the digits just keep going. when using it, people round if off and use 3.14 or 3.14195. when rounding and estimating the answer is not exact. but is't close. for an exact answer, you can't round (you have to let the digits keep going forever!). so using a decimal is not exact but it's exacly close. If pi were a whole number, the estimate would be to. and if it were repeating, the answer would repeat as well.

    @RomanoriumLegio 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was amazing, I don't have nearly that much patience to do something so tedious, only to destroy it in the end. Yeah, several hours to make something in a school subject that we all hated... something I wouldn't do...
    Again, great job!

    @TamsinRJ 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow, over 12 hours to build that?!? I struggle to concentrate on and not get frustrated with the domino runs I make which can only take about half an hour to an hour as I have few dominoes in comparison to you.(when I don't video them, they don't go over, when I can/do video them, they go over before they are finished, hence I never post any videos) you are one amazing person, do you do this for a living or something? I can't see you'd have the time if you didn't do these runs for a living...

  • @SuperHitmaniac

  • @Fuduwahluz
    @Fuduwahluz 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you tipped over a domino by accident you seemed so calm and in control...
    If I had been in that situation, I would've balls'd it up and kicked all of it everywhere.

  • @XbobSector
    @XbobSector 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is amazing!. It would be really awesome if you had black topped Dominos, then when you had the view from the top we couldn't see anything until you started the spiral.

    @TheFurryTaco It's March 14, (3/14), it's a little day where math-loving people celebrate Pi, which is an irrational fraction produced when one divides a circles Circumference by it's Diameter. Pi's first three digits are 3.14, that's why March 14 is used.
