Buckets: a brief introduction
The game:

Infinite Game of Life Recursion by saharan (interactive!):

During the Minecraft bit, I cover the Minecraft soundtrack 'Subwoofer Lullaby' as well as a bit from 'Hauntii', another game I've been playing recently with some good music.
Thanks to 'The Colonel Moreau Chess Mystery by Edward Winter' for the random history bit.

In-Depth Secrets of Hollow Knight's Forgotten Crossroads

The ultimate deep dive into Hollow Knight. Guaranteed to teach you something new! I used like 3 seconds of footage from Keith Ballard near the beginning to illustrate the fact that the doors used to knock you back. Check out their playthrough if you're interested!

Here are some various notes that might not make sense until you've watched the video: Note 1: I tried to make the stats calculations more accessible to non-maths people, so I didn't talk about p-values or anything. I thought maybe a distribution plot is the best way to understand it, but maybe not! Note 2: that Claude clip at 15:24 is super weird! I hadn't realised quite how weird it was until ...
A "Scientific Analysis" of Return of the Obra Dinn

This video assumes you have already discovered the fate of the Obra Dinn for yourself. If this is not the case, then please refrain from watching until you have played Return of the Obra Dinn. It's not a particularly long game, and if you enjoy clever investigations then it will be well worth your time. I played through the game again recently, but I was surprised to find that a lot of my quest...
Are Portals Holes? (Yes and No)
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому
Are portals holes? Is a hole still a hole if it's filled with water? Can you put a hole in a piece of paper without cutting or tearing? How is a hole both a hole and a hole? Huge thanks to the creators behind the Immersive Portals mod for Minecraft. I can't get enough of it! I'll probably make more videos on portals and mirrors in the future.

It's a video about circles. Probably. I'll try and fix the low bitrate issue in the next video. Thanks for the support! Correction: at 11:39, I meant to say "four double steps" and not "four steps", and the same with "three and a bit double steps".
Types of Holes, Explained in Minecraft
Переглядів 2 тис.Рік тому
Here are some different types of holes! This video is intended for people who haven't thought much about holes before, so most of what I say isn't very precise. The standard introduction to holes takes a long road through topology. In doing so, a lot of the points I discuss in this video become pretty obvious - however, I thought it could be fun to explain holes from a different perspective, wi...

    8:58 i think it's called parity. I remember bishops being described having the same or different parity ( =being on the same or different color) and it's kinda similar to the odd-even concept

    so the important question is can it run doom jokes aside, i clicked on this video as a silly joke, oh what could the one and a half hour long video about buckets be about? and im just gonna say i was not expecting it to be so damn intriguing and take the breath out of me. so basically i enjoyed it a lot. thank you for the quality videos as always, this is actually so insane.

    I mean, from the get go, I already argue everyone can do a backflip at least once, if they manage it successfully and without injury is not part of the argument. So never bet on something that can be done at least once even with consequence of injury.

    Loved the video. And as someone that beated all the levels in the game (even if it took me a while) can confirm that you don't need any of this info to solve them. P.S. I know they are officially called buckets, but for me they will always be the "paper bag monster"

    2 children. "At least one of them is a girl" 33.333...% that both are girls (4 permutations for a set of 2 binary choices, bb, bg, gb, gg. Previous statement eliminates one option.) "My first/second born is a girl" Same probability as before since you can the person can just pick and choose resulting in essentially the same siruation. "Is your first/second born a girl?" "Yes" Probability now becomes 50% since you asked the question meaning there is no picking and choosing the same way there was before. The answer could have just been "No" which wouldn't have happened previously since the person wouldn't just say that either shild is a boy because it would ruin the question of "What's the probability both are girls?" This is assuming the person just happens to have random children and isn't trying to trick you or anything of course. As if two coins were flipped once and the other person saw them and made a statement about one of them or you ask them about one of them. Obviously if both coins are say head when younare asking for the probability of tails it would have to be flipped again but I don't think that affects anything for when there is at least one tails Have I got that right?

    10:20 - I usually for this pick a color and a direction to call positive. Then remembering the -1 and 1 multiplication rule it gets easy to check the polarity even with a frozen screen, for example; dark-right = + so: dark = + light = - right = + left = - and you multiply both simbols to get the corrrect parity.

    the idea that the pocket watch has to be nearby during a death to show it cant be right, because in the ending, its explicitly tated that use continue to use the watch on other ventures, and if the watch has to be nearby during a death, it would be completely useless in any case that didnt happen a rocks throw away from your house.

    could it be possible for a 3d bucket cube to have triphasing? ex. if the three edges coming from a vertex have knock patterns 101000 / 001010 / 100010 or in general, can n-dimensional bucket hypercubes have n-phasing

    There should be more videos like this on youtube, they seem like a rarity to me, but they're really good. And I think it is pretty useful, maybe not for playing puzzle games, but for making them, as a demonstration for how to dig deeply into a seemingly very simple system that doesn't have obvious interactions you could use for puzzles.

    I would honestly love to see this become a whole branch of mathematics. i would love to give it the name "polarity grid theory' but that would rub up against polar coordinate stuff, and i think it would be fun to generalize it to where there are more than 2 states a single actor(in this specific case, our only actors are buckets) can be in, making poles kind of outnumbered, and i think parity would make a good replacement, making "parital grid theory", which i think sounds like a nice name for this branch of math

    • @aurorazuoris6654
      @aurorazuoris6654 5 днів тому

      I believe in mathematics a more appropriate name to what he calls polarity would be parity. You can generalize this to more than 2 using modulo arithmetics.

The proof for simplifying chains + transparency and the proof using the DVD logo were both especially elegant, and the cycle words are such a powerful tool. I really enjoyed this!

This was bespoke made for youtube and was not for a class, if you haven’t heard of the summer of math exposition I’d recommend checking all the summers out under the SoME tags. This is from SoME3, as you can see by the creator-applied tag under the video title
