@Empire are you joking or not joking?
Also hi NerdExplains! Thanks for the video! (Since a long time lol)
I don't know how someone I disliked the video already you posted it 1 minute ago and it's 46 minutes long

Nerd Explains: Remember, I'm not very good at math.
Also Nerd Explains: *goes off about the permutations in Cube in 45 minutes*
The number of prime numbers between 1 and 999 is 153. Given that there are three sets of numbers in each room ID, this means that there are a total of 153 x 3 = *459* rooms with at least one prime number in each room ID (in a total of 17, 577 rooms, or about 38% of rooms).
Leaven then realises that the true identifier for trapped rooms is a *power* of a prime. This makes one wonder why the first hypothesis seemed to work for so long. But this is easily explained.
First, all prime numbers are powers of prime numbers, because a prime number to the power of 1 will be the original prime number. Therefore all 459 rooms with at least one prime number on the room ID were still marked with powers of primes.
Second, the number of nonprime numbers that are also powers of primes, between 1 and 999, is only *25* . These numbers are as follows: 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 49, 64, 81, 121, 125, 128, 169, 243, 256, 289, 343, 361, 512, 529, 625, 729, 841, 961. Under the power of prime rule, that means there are *534* trapped rooms in the Cube. This is only 75 more trapped rooms than were evident under the first hypothesis (or only about 14% of all trapped rooms).
This is why the first hypothesis appeared to hold up for so long: the great majority of trapped rooms are covered under the first hypothesis and relatively few exclusively under the second.
The most underrated comment I have ever seen. 👌
Well the rooms arent numbered 1-999 but rather 1-27(as a sum). There could have been no primes at all. Any guess of probability is based on the assumption that the numbers 1-999 are evenly distributed.
*Mathclap*
I have no idea what any of this meant, but I believe you.
How is 459 38% of 17577? Either I misunderstood something or the math isn't mathing

Cant you just keep going up, until you reach the ceiling, then check where the door is?
I remember this film when it first aired, and I think that the irony of the situation was that staying put was the best move because eventually the entrance room would move back to its original position and allow for escape.
Sure, but you wouldn't do that either
They each started alone in a room
@@briansickboytrue but the whole thing was turning so if they each just stayed put, eventually they could of escaped without moving.
@@wastedtalent666 oh yeah! Good point
There's absolutely no way you would ever get out of something like that.
I made a D&D dungeon inspired by this. It was only 10 by 10, so 100 rooms. Still very challenging to create, and more challenging to beat. My players did so well, one of my favorite campaigns!

Oh cool, how much math did you implement?
@@NotNochos Not much math was required. It was more about horror awareness. The players just needed to find the center of a 10x10x10 cube, while defeating Vecna manifesting through every horror trope I could devise.
@NotaHero🦋of911 you do realize that the entire point of the cube is that it's a near inescapable death trap, right?
@NotaHero🦋of911 yeah people like you are the last ones to survive something like the cube lol. Likeability is super important to survival 😬just say you hate women and go
They also have a video game about this exact situation idk if it was made because of this movie or if the movie came out after. You had to throw your boots to see if it's trapped but no math was required lol

I'd bring along Ren's body as they go. For multiple reasons.
1: Use his clothes/blood to mark the paths you went through.
2: Blood (while gross and salty) can be used as a means of hydration. (Not a great idea, but better than nothing)
3: In case its needed, you can eat his remains to keep yourselves alive.
4: You can use parts of his body to test rooms for traps as you go.
Also, at 27:33, Quentin made a bad but potentially good decision in dropping her. He could've counted the seconds between the time he dropped her and the time he heard her hit the ground (or at least when he stopped being able to hear her scream), and that could've been used to give them a relative idea of how high they are on the cube, thus giving them another data point to work from.
Miners and cave explorers use the trick with rocks when determining how deep holes or large gaps are.
You can't eat blood for hydration, you'll get sick.
It's "Rennes". It's French.
@@_BiologyMatters_ Well, that really wasn't the point, but good to know, I guess.
Most everyone says to stay put. My fear was that the traps are on a timer and if you just stay put, eventually you'll die when the trap in the room that you are in activates.
But 99% people won't stay in 1 room
Yeah, sounds way scarier than starving in solitude insanity.

I would personally run through every door with blinding speed. Maybe I'll die the first room, maybe the second, maybe I'll escape (not realistically possible), but I sure as hell won't do this much math just to escape.
That might actually work if your fast enough
Love this. Reminds me of the math teacher in Squid Game, dashing over the glass bridge specifically because the probability math tells him he's SOL
Might work if you're the Flash, who knows!
I think up would definitely be very useful, if you could reach the roof of the cube, you could just walk freely between 27x27 cubes
Then how do you get down?
@@steves1015 Unless the surfaces of the cubes are covered in oil, the interlocks used to dock the cubes together look good for climbing, else at least you now have 729 doors to choose from to start your path back down.
That's what they should do, going upwards is the hardest path, but bridge would be visible from there

bruh i thought i was watching the cube not khan academy
One thing that is interesting to note is that some or a good amount of traps need to be dodgeable after acvticated by the human. For example a human would step into a cube the trap would activate and then the human would have time to react and avoid the trap. The reason is because when anybody first wakes up in the cube they're going to think it's just one giant maze. it will definitely be scary confusing and something will be up, but the thought of different rooms being trapped to kill them won't immediately cross their mind or become aparent till after they have moved through some cubes that have a trap. So if every trap just immediately killed the person when they entered or activated the trap then everyone would die right away. So they at least need to have some traps that when activated give the person time to avoid it or at least traps that are very easily triggered by the person. So for detecting traps we then have three options to detect the traps with and that is using that prime number theory, using the boot to detect sound, movement, and presemce, and a third it would be a trap that can be dodged/avoided once activated by the person.
No. They could be lucky enough to see OTHER people, they meet along the way, die - this is what happens in the movie.
@@vaakdemandante8772 I think they tested one person experience and multiple people experience, that explains why the first guy was alone and the group was together.
Cube 2 could explain some, but no spoilers
I'd love to hear you theories on Cube 2 where they are in a Tesseract rather than just a Cube and the math behind THAT ;)
If the cube was a tesseract then that would mean they are simultaneously in six rooms at the same time. So from their point of view every step they take causes the room to change and it's up to them to determine what steps they need to take to get to the switch across the room without changing their dimensional perception of the room.

This video is proof that sometimes youtube suggestions aren't useless. Very good an insightful video. It's good to know all the details presented that weren't explained to the everyday common person. Also loved the sarcasm in the end.
I worked in construction for 10 years. I can tell you, there are very few construction materials, other than concrete, that can withstand constant prolonged pounding on a small area. Those room panels look flimsy and light is coming through, so they are probably not concrete. The room they find themselves in is safe. Those boots look new. Get everyone to to kick the center of one panel, for hours. Good chance it will give. Then you can at least see what it's made of, and see the mechanics of the structure you are in. If one panel is too tough, move to another, and again, keep kicking in unison to create a harmonic vibration. That will help to overstress the material. Also, one of the panels might be a "short cut" panel to the outside. Everyone is just fixated on those doors. There may be a door disguised as a wall panel.
If the panels are made of more than 1.5 cm thick plastic, it's impossible for a person to break it just by kicking it. Idk what kind of work you did in construction but I don't think your theory is correct. Nevertheless, I would really much like to watch you spend all of your energy and strength kicking a thick unbreakable panel until exhaustion just for the sake of being right and you wrong.
structure like that would probably be made of thick polycarbonate and steel, like regular elevators.
This dude never heard of plastic
@@mafubaa Yeah but is it one solid sheet, acoss the whole wall, or is it multiple small panels that are affixed somehow to the metal frame?
If the latter then the weak point would be how it is fastened or affixed to the frame - not the panel itself. One could bee knocked loose to peek behind the wall, maybe even reveal a crawl space where you could see the traps behind the scenes and wiring and what not.
@@evolgenius1150 if you're designing something like this, maybe it would be reasonable to attach a frame on the outside layer too with thick torx bolts or something hard to unloose without the appropriate tool and that should solve the issue

I mean technically we never had to move in the first place
It’s not math, it’s bogus. It’s stupid throwing around of what little maths the screenwriter knows in the hope that the audience won’t have any clue what they’re talking about anyway, and thus be amazed.
I mean, the "cartesian coordinate code" is basically: We have some three digit numbers (I’m only doing one and not three here, because I’m lazy), like:
345 821 114 387 ...
So now Leaven says: Hey, let’s take the cross sum, then they are in order! So let’s see:
12 11 6 18
Hm, ain’t really in order. Cannot be that this idea I pulled out completely randomly is wrong (which is the more likely assumption), it must be that the rooms are moving (which is in fact highly unlikely).
The only way why this does work here is because a screenwriter can just write the whole play so that by pure chance it works out.
Don't be upset. If you do the math, your see it's wrong.
The base math was 17 cubes wide. Then they give a buffer of a cube and say 16. It should be 15 for a buffer on each side. So their math is off from the start.
If I woke up in one of these cubes tomorrow, I'd just sit there until the first room ran it's course though the cube and wound up back in the starting position which would be the bridge to get from the cube to the exterior (same way you got in). That's only because I know that from the movies. I never would have figured that out inside the cube.
Why'd Quentin jump to catch her and then dropped her? Like just let her fall if that's the plan.
Guess it was his first instinct to try and save her but then he remembered their previous argument and dropped her. I think he was not evil. Just went crazy out of fear.

This is ridiculously stacked against them from the very beginning, since not all of them have the math skills to solve the puzzle and they don't even start in the same room. Even if you start in a room adjacent to another person, there's only a 1/6 chance that you actually go through the right door to find them. And, even then, if you wait too long, they might have moved on already. It would be a miracle to find anyone, and that's before factoring in that picking the wrong direction would likely lead to a trap room. If Leaven or Kazan had died immediately like Alderson, or if they simply hadn't met up, the entire thing would've just been hopeless.
For this to be an even remotely fair game, they need to actually start in the same room together, or choose a puzzle that any of your "contestants" can solve on their own. And, yes, I do think it's intended to be a fair game, since if it wasn't supposed to be survivable at all, there are easier and cheaper ways to kill people, and even if they were determined to use the Cube to kill people for some reason, why not just not have a cube that connects to the exit?
I always felt that water and food should be in some of the cubes to keep the participants going. But maybe that wouldn’t work lol
I think the goal of the people or things that put them in the cube is to kill them, with the rare chance of them finding the right door out
But just imagine this
While all this was going down and everyone else was dying, one random guy wakes up along and just gets so lucky he never encounters any traps, just wandering along calmly and the movie just randomly cuts to him every now and then

What was even more crazy is that back in my high school days when we watched that movie with friends, one of them came up with the idea that ALL the rooms are trapped to prevent people from simply taking one for the ride and it's their actual position in the cube that activates or deactivates the traps. In other words - you can be sitting peacefully on the floor in a "safe" room, all of a sudden you feel it move and the next thing you know, there is a giant metal spike, petting your chocolate starfish.

True my dude.
*Pathetic*
Ha
27x27x27 outer dimension with one cube gap between the outer shell and cubes equals 25x25x25 of the actual cubes.
The other main problem is, if all cubes are right next to each other than that would mean each cube can only move one space in each direction and even then the entire row of cubes in front of it should also move one space until the most outer cube fills the gap between the outer shell. It is impossible for one cube to move multiple spaces in one direction unless there are actually gaps and the entire 25x25x25 isn't fully filled with cubes.
Technically there is a scene in this video/the movie itself, when they open the doors to a "corridor" of empty space with other cubes making it - exactly for the purpose of them cubes moving around. So yeah 25x25x25 but not all of them are there for the ones that are to have room for movement. But then its all sci-fi anyway, cause like how the heck would you power that shit and move them rooms around while also keep weight of them all, and then what about the bottom? are them cubes levitating?
@@Eversor86could be they are kept afloat through a magnetic field. Since it’s sci-fi that would be totally doable.
That's actually really cool and a good idea, make it to the top and you could be able to walk across the top of all the rooms. Might not help much but I dunno.. maybe you could catch the exit room as it's moving around and hop on?
but surely then you'd be at risk of getting crushed when it moves even if you did somehow manage to climb down to it
Holy... I watched the whole thing, thinking it was only like 13 minites.
Same lol i didnt look at the time until i saw this comment
It’s a trap!
Same!
Felt the same mate, felt the same.

I love how he gets progressively more angry and aggressive.
good thing he got his leg ripped off
The worst kind of movie is a movie that tries to be oh so super smart and artistique and whatever but fucks up its own logic all the time.
The movie could have been a super cool maths thing if they didn't constantly feel the need to add more and more contrived maths that just fucked up the whole thing in the end.
@@youtube-kit9450 the thing is, is that the math in this movie can’t be solved by humans, it’s impossible
It’s very clear that The Cube is beyond flawed
Traps that are “one mistake, instant death”, unbeatable math, traps that are easy to get out of or avoid and the only reason it exists is to be used because it’s better to use it than admit it’s pointlessness
Stop being so uptight, it was a million times more entertaining than this superhero swill that they're shitting out these days.
if math was a person i would kill it
Thank you for the amount of time and work you did for this dude!
Bro I want this man to be in a horror movie and be the nerd that survives because he’s watched too many horror movies. Make this happen.
Even if her math was sketchy at times, in the movie universe Leaven literally does all the work saving everybody and figuring out what’s going on just to get shanked at the end, that’s just cold lmao
I was really upset when she died tbh.
@@insomnolent5539 me too! She was so young and so smart!
@@oldaccountprincealy8497 it's a movie weirdo.
@@zomkino you're supposed to sympathise with characters, it's what gets you engaged with astory.
@@folkloreofbeing And next you are sending death threats to actors because you felt it too real, happenned before like in GOT, because people are too dumb and almost think this is real
PS: why you liked your own comment you loser.. (soon it was posted you liked it, pathetic)
Nerd explains: this movie can’t be beaten
literally normal people: not surprised
The Cube: Non-math people will die. (If you disregard the flaws in how they use math.)
Also, any mathematician after deciding that it's a 26 room wide cube would never disregard 14, 27, 14 since that's an anomaly that either disproves your theory, or it's a room that moves on the outside of the cube.
@@agloggen i didnt even understand the words you just used so instead of gaining braincells i lost them
I understand
40:13 basically if there are only two unique prime factors, the entire number can be expressed as powers of those primes. For example:
30 has the factors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30
However you can entirely express 30 in the form of 2, 3 and 5
30 = 2x15 = 2x3x5
Therefore 30 = 2^1 x 3^1 x 5^1
Also their previous method of prime numbers probably worked because a prime number is a product of its self. 5 can be expressed as 5^1 hence it is technically a product of a prime number raised to a specific power. Hence by identifying the number of unique prime factors they basically know that the number is product of those prime factors raised to a power.
I thumped over this one for awhile, because I didn’t understand what Leaven was trying to say, or how the fuck she figured out that this was what the numbers meant.
But basically I think what it came down to is the number of factors that a number has which are prime powers (a single prime number that can be raised to another prime number to get that value). It’s the only explanation… 545: has four factors: 1,5,109,545. Obviously 545 is not prime, so it’s out, and 1 does not count by default, since any number divided/multiples by 1 is just itself. That would leave 5 and 109. Both of these numbers are prime, and are also prime powers since they can be written as 5^1 = 5 and 109^1 = 109. This is where Kazan gets the answer “2” from. The same can be done for 567 etc. How the hell you could do this mentally in a reasonable amount of time, along with figuring out the coordinates is daunting.
I am so relieved that Nerd articulated, with great clarity, what I was struggling with watching this movie, plus some that I overlooked. 😂
I feel like I just sat thru a whole ass math class my brain hurts
My brain just gave up and begged for this torture to be over.... Only the Strong urge of curiosity kept me here LOL
Maths not math
Math class if it was slightly more fun
😂😂
Antoinette Mosley how it’s just math 😂🤣
I like how NerdExplains never gives up. Huge amounts of math?
Most people: Welp, we're screwed.
NerdExplains: *pops knuckles*
NerdExplains could probably survive most, if not every possible horror movie situation. This is the guy I want to pair up with in a horror movie.

Second half: *M A T H S*
maf is very stonks in this movi
He lost me at Y axis
I don't know half of these maths.
My brain melted, I'm just gonna live in the cube.
"Slaps Cube" This baby can give an infinite amount of death if you find them and infinite is alot! Collect all deaths to become Cube Champion!!!
I need brain cells now
But no food or water
@@odeo5691 or no toilet bro-
I have to do math?
Better give me the Alderson treatment right now.
I've seen this video like 10 times and its still somehow entertaining, my nerd awakened!!
Can we appreciate how hard nerd explains worked on this video. Math is definitely not easy stuff and he managed to hook us in to watch this video
true
theres endless articles and explanations for this movie, he does good research, he didnt figure out any of these things on his own.
Well we did actually watch anf but most of us didn't even understand
Wait this isn't real?? Oh god
Imagine if a random person was put in the cube and guessed every room correctly and survived this whole thing without noticing any traps
i mean the chances are almost impossibly low but it could happen. would definitely be a funny subplot to make this a bit more lighthearted atleast
That would be a cool spin off movie
@@tia8245 the chances are better than dreams speedrun
Lmfao...
@@austinkentner1771 not that high.
I'm like, 90% sure that the Cube is neither a game nor a test. It was probably just built because somebody, at some point, proposed the construction of an ingenious massive underground death maze that's also a marvel of engineering.
And they all had no idea what to do with it, so they moved on and forgot about it.
Very well-done movie. I have watched it many times. It's amazing how much they did with so little.

LMFAOOOO
i swear when i looked at this yesterday it was 16
Eleanor it was 16 but then i changed it to 23 because thats how long ago the film was released
Everyone's talking about how they'd die because they didn't know math, but the real secret of surviving the cube is by never getting selected for this math class from hell because you have zero valuable skills or talents.
True very true
Underachievement as a defense, huh?
In the seocnd and third movies, it's further established that people either deemed enemies of the state or people that end up getting too involved with these government projects end up in the Cubes. And yes, there's at least four of them (maybe five, now that I think about it).
@@johnnyzamora8190 Oh God.
Makes more sense
I loved your dedication to follow the math. That was respectable!
One of the most enjoyable headaches I’ve encountered 😂😂
This seems like a movie made by a math teacher to say that learning maths in school will one day save our lives.
Edit:.....
@AlexTM basically, yeahh
Jonny found himself in the cube. On the entrance to one of the rooms is the number 1846394473926464928264471917463621944. Considering that death rooms have the numbers that are squares of square numbers, would Jonny die if he entered the room? (5 minute task)
Yeah

It's not just movie magic that makes things work, it's the writing that intentionally makes a simple situation "stupid". Like he said, leaving trail markers for rooms they've been in and testing numbers of rooms they've been in for trap/no trap. The writers intentionally do this to create suspense and leaves the rest of us screaming at the screen for how dumb these smart people are.
I found this especially frustrating in 'Avengers: Civil War' (yes, I get it's not the same type of movie). All Captain America had to do was tell Stark that Bucky was under mind control by a common enemy and that he didn't intentionally kill Stark's parents. They might have still had some arguing between them, but at no point was it brought up. You would think that would be a MASSIVE bit of information when you're fighting against a friend who is trying to save another friend.
Dude, love your vids. This is my favorite I think.

The crazy thing is that most of them didn't die from the traps but from one of their own & too me that was disappointing. As for what I would do well I tell you what I wouldn't do I wouldn't have gone through that sound activated room I would have back tracked through to the last room I was in & gone through another door.
I really enjoyed this series. Cleverly thought out and entertaining. You don't see too many of those lately.
Cube: “Do you maths?”
Me: “No”
Cube: “LOL you’re dead.”

Someone: "Yes"
Cube: "LOL we don't so you're dead."
