    The multiple layers of irony over using an Apple keyboard in a film adaptation of 1984 is kinda amazing tbh.

    The standards that these ratings are based on are not documented, but after carefully examining all the Good/Bad ratings to date, I think the two worst Math Prop sins are "Not having a Math Prop" and "Holding an Abacus Upside down".

    1984 is a 1498 woodcut by Albrecht Altdorfer, based on the 1949 novel 1984. Its inclusion of a TI-84 implies that Altdorfer may have been a timetraveller.

    2:48 I find the assessment of the correct use of the props a bit too harsh. After entering the numbers, the operator seems to look at his papers. I think it is plausible that he wants to check his input before doing the calculation. We can't actually see what happens because the camera moves on and he disappears from the frame. The scene is too short to judge one or the other with certainty. Therefore, I would give it the benefit of the doubt and rate it as good. The fact that the other machines are not visibly used or even touched cannot be judged as incorrect use.

    I give the 6 uses of the appropriately named and labeled ‘Math Props’ math props prop gag a 576 out of a possible 864. Giving it any better of a score would have been 2 gross.

    I WATCHED 1984 YESTERDAY AND SAW THIS AND WAS GOING TO NOMINATE IT. I think we've learned that if you prevaricate then someone else will do it for you and you needn't bother.

    Although that unknown device does look a bit like a Summira/Resulta/Regina type of machine, I don’t see a register above or below the input area. I don’t even see one in the middle like the TriumphatorKA/LipsiaAddi. I suspect it could be some kind of checkwriter machine instead, maybe a Paymaster, with its lever removed.

    • @ChrisStaecker
      @ChrisStaecker  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      This is my go-to guess if it doesn’t look familiar. “Maybe a check writer?”

    That unknown device at 1:13 reminds me of some plastic Japanese-made adding machines that were marketed under various names.

      I’d say at a glance it looks like basic physics- whoever wrote it had to know a little something, or was copying from a legit source, then somehow messed it up either by mistake or to make it look cooler.

    I’d like to make a suggestion. If animation is allowed I’d like to suggests the two scenes from the German Werner movies:
    th-cam.com/video/Td5jxXhetyI/w-d-xo.html from 0:00 to 0:06 and
    th-cam.com/video/wpoQvAqban8/w-d-xo.html
    Those movies are stories in a fictional town in Nothern Germany about an apprentice plumber who likes a beer and bikes named Werner.
    The main figure in these scenes is his boss Walther Röhrich who isn’t the smartest tool in the shed.
    It looks like he’s using a hand cranked pin wheel adding machine with a printer.
    Translation of the mathy parts:
    First video:
    One and four that’s … wait a bit … (The machine prints out 5).
    (The rest is just a call from the boss of the largest local building company from whom Röhrich desperatly wants to get a new contract but gets screwed over).
    Second video:
    That makes … in my head … In my head that’s …
    Ja, erm, 1 times 1 is … (machine prints out 1) wait! … One?! How’s that? Is the machine broken? That can’t be everything for a multiplication. In my brain I got more, at least 2.
    And 5 plus 5 is 10. Only so little? No, something has to be wrong here.
    (Werner and Röhrich greeting each other).
    … 2 in the mind …
