I think this is the calculator that allows all the other calculators to work. When someone types "5+4" on a calculator, the question is transmitted to a Little Professor, and when the answer is entered, it is transmitted back to the original inquisitor, providing the answer.
TheLeftLibertarianAtheist There already is one. It's a California based rocket propelled rail car which hits a wall at about Mach 10. After the collision there will be plenty of photons.
Maybe for every 'real' calculator there is a little professor calculator which displays the question you were asking your real calculator to a person and this person answers your math question through the little professor
These are quite literally my favorite Numberfile videos, it's rare to see anything with this kind of comedic value anymore. It's all in the subtlety. Amazing guys keep it up xD
Note: DO NOT watch this video whilst eating breakfast, unless you want to spray your computer screen with milk as you're overtaken by fits of laughter.
I clicked on this video because when i saw the thumbnail i had a sudden flashback to owning one of these and i thought it would just be a nice little nostalgic video, but i didnt at all expect this to be that funny, or funny at all really. Good job on that sense of humor, i highly approve. Not that my approval matters
Had one of these as a kid myself... it really does wonders on mental calculation skills. Really it'd be perfect if it could be used as a regular calculator as well, for the classroom :)
The potential of this calculator sneaking up on me while I am showering is a little off putting, but I've got to admit, it's hard to say no to a top-hinged instruction booklet. SOLD!
My little brother hates math but once I showed him this video, he instantly subscribed to numberphile ^_^ I guess this video alone popularises math more than any numberphile video
It does say 80,000 but it also is in a tall typeface and lacks a comma, so it is totally understandable to misread it as 8000 because it was poorly designed.
"This is an anti-calculator. In fact, if you collide it fast enough with a normal calculator it will annihilate instantly" Brilliant, absolutely brilliant
UntoldAnimations Although I get the joke, it technically doesn't work as in certain countries the comma is used for decimals and the period is used for large numbers. So 1.253.775 is what you would probably write as 1,253,775 and 3,7798 is what you would probably write as 3.7798
Its a rare occasion, when a channel based around mathematics gets number recognition wrong, I see 4 zeros after the 8, making it eighty-thousand, not eight-thousand
***** An antiphoton is actually just a photon, so you could see it =) Force carriers, aka the Z bozon or gluons are their own antiparticle believe it or not!
You know, Texas is actually, to my knowledge, pretty multicultural. I've met a bunch of people from Texas who do foreign exchange and stuff. But whatever, the point is still kinda valid, and I have never actually been there, so, yeah.
I've heard of religious satire, political satire, and social satire
I guess now I can add mathematical satire to that list
***** I didn't know it existed before I watched this video haha
way better than that other junk
This.. actually .. exists?? :|
That you can ^__^
"Let's get the little professor out"
-Professor Matt Parker
Bet that gets the ladies every time.
Isnt that why he had to stop teaching? Kept asking his students if they want to play with his little professor.
@@omikronweapon No.
I think this is the calculator that allows all the other calculators to work. When someone types "5+4" on a calculator, the question is transmitted to a Little Professor, and when the answer is entered, it is transmitted back to the original inquisitor, providing the answer.
Google's database has a full room stuffed with as many little professors as they can fit in it
@@jackedwards1255 Working at Google. Can confirm.
false.
@@Triantalex shut up
But keep in mind that its an anti-calculator and as such needs to be elevated in an magnetic field or something when piped to a calculator.
I can actually taste the sarcasm brimming from this.
Sour?
Belaic bitter, but tasty!
*****
So much sarcasm I had a sargasm.
The snark was definitely strong with this one. . 😄
JustOneAsbesto OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!! I really wanna say "shots fired" but that doesnt really apply in this situation :/ Great comment, tho!
I like how the cred score and the durability score collided and emitted a photon.
??.
RE: everyone who is saying it's 80 000, not 8 000 - it was rather difficult to read, because of how squashed it was horizontally.
He would have had a chance to read it carefully before the shoot.
Squashed horizontally? I thought it was stretched vertically.
He made a mistake, its worth a chuckle.. I'm sure hes not upset with himself
teavea10 Yes, it is a rookie mistake. Easy to not know the difference but I hope you can see now why there worlds apart. :)
Horizontally? o_O
I hope it's not too blasphemous to say that the calculator unboxing vids are my favorite videos of all the ones Brady does
ezpkns34 not at all - do share them if you are enjoying! ;)
+Numberphile 80000 not 8000 is the number on the box.
+htmlguy88 Yeah, that's why he said 8000.
+Purplegaze the number on the box is 80,000 not 8,000
***** Yes. I know. This video is supposed to be sarcastic and a joke, so he said 8000 and I think he meant it.
The anticalculator.
If you collide it fast enough with a calculator it will annihilate.
And emit a photon :)
J Vp It would actually emit 2 photons in opposite directions to conserve momentum.
J Vp A SINGLE photon, mind.
but this is mathematics! when you subtract a number from itself, nothing is ever emitted. what a disappointment :(
*it will be annihilated and emit a photon.
I can't believe I just watched a calculator unboxing.. And it was everything I hoped it could be.
See the rest. They are even more hilarious.
Especially the Bamboo one!
Thomas O
12 Digitals.
Almost like 12 Digits, except way better

that is 80,000 not 8,000
I had to scroll way too far for this
Parker review
One problem down.
7999 more to go.
"Texas is famous for embracing other cultures."
*Laughs Breathily*
Today I've discovered one of my new favorite things, calculator unboxing humor.
You can't expect a high cred score if it isn't made of bamboo. If it were bamboo then you would get more cred.
I love the unboxings. I'm glad there's another!
Austin Burnham thanks - we've filmed some more for a later date!
+Numberphile almost a year...
+Numberphile Hey, Trickster! We are still waiting for more!
Ages 6-11? So for age -5 then?
they annihilate each other and emit a photon XD
A futon and a cuack. Their ambition will give you a little professor back.
I guess we have to build a calculator accelerator now, folks!
*gamma ray
TheLeftLibertarianAtheist There already is one. It's a California based rocket propelled rail car which hits a wall at about Mach 10. After the collision there will be plenty of photons.
*2 photons(gamma ray) in opposite direction. Otherwise linear momentum is not conserved
I just noticed a photon coming out of the 7 and -7.
+Dark Knight313 ?
+order661000 Why only the one photon? Shouldn't there be a pair of photons to conserve momentum?
+Luke Innes No you see this is modern computing which means it runs on potatoes .

I love how he stops right when he gets to the slightly challenging addition problem
+TheChemistryShack He did not have any brown paper to hand for his workings.
+David Woodgate Hang about, just noticed he is doing this on a massive sheet of brown paper, so he must have mislaid his marker pen.
4:36 two photons would have to be emitted to conserve momentum... That's a level two difficulty problem.
I guess this is a calc-YOU-later.
stop
I had to pause the video after the Texas comment until I stopped laughing.
These calculator unboxings are brilliant. I love the humor :D
Texas comment was a little snarky.
Honestly tripped me up at first..
Sarcastic shots fired
British humor. What can ya do..
You. You stop that. Thank you.
You can't handle the truth.
The calculators would have to emit two photons in order to conserve momentum.
+Jon Snow You know nothing Jon Snow
See you later Calculator, in a while Numberphile!
The Texas joke was probably the best joke I've heard in a long time.
In capitalist America, calculator uses YOU
+Wang Cian - epic metaphor
Dammit you beat me to it
false.
The "6-11" on the cover wasn't an age indication, it was simply a foretaste of Little Professor's genius!
(6 - 11 = -5 btw)
I had one of these as a child. I felt like a badass when I "solved" one of the tier 5 calculations.
Stopped at the spoiler alert... My guess is that it's gonna be 85!
...Dammit
How do you even get a number so large? That is way bigger then even googol.
asdf30111 googol
it was 21
Imaad siddiqui
you stupid
/s
***** Googol means 10^100.
I never thought I would see the day when a Numberphile video would make me laugh.
watch the other calculator vids there really good and funny :-)
"LOOK AT HIM, HE'S FREAKIN' OUT!"
I loved him saying 8 thousand instead of 80! Just goes to say that even professors sometimes gets their numbers messed up a little :D
I had forgotten how much I loved this series of videos. Thanks for bringing them back.
These are quite literally my favorite Numberfile videos, it's rare to see anything with this kind of comedic value anymore. It's all in the subtlety. Amazing guys keep it up xD
I love that the 7 and -7 combine at the end and emit a photon
Note: DO NOT watch this video whilst eating breakfast, unless you want to spray your computer screen with milk as you're overtaken by fits of laughter.

This may be my new favorite UA-cam video ever.
In Soviet Russia, calculator asks you question.
I guess you got the calculator from soviet Russia...
jessie li In Soviet Russia calculator calculates on you?
No Texas. The American state that is too American even for America
"It's as if he's staring at you through a frosted bathroom window."
I lost it.
I love how the photon is emitted when 7 and -7 annihilate each other :D
I really do love actually learning about math, but these are still the best Numberphile videos ever.
I believe it reads 80,000. Not 8,000. Just saying. Lol
Love the channel guys, don't change a thing! =)
Are you a math professor? No? Well then, who gives a shit about your opinion?
Darrell Jensen
You sound like you're talking to yourself
I do that from time to time. Lol
Looks like in england 80.000 reads 8 thousand, just like the million / billion thing.
Oh really? I had no idea.
I love that he was standing on a wall as well, just to make it fall that little bit further.
I clicked on this video because when i saw the thumbnail i had a sudden flashback to owning one of these and i thought it would just be a nice little nostalgic video, but i didnt at all expect this to be that funny, or funny at all really.

By far my favourite calculator unboxing. The inverse calculator!.
I want to see the unboxing of the scalpel box set..
+vasudha sharma It begs the question, doesn't it.. How did they undo the packaging of the first ever scalpel?
I hope there will be more calculator unboxings and videos in general featuring Matt Parker. It's really enjoyable to watch.
Calculator Unboxing Videos are the most sarcastic videos I've seen on UA-cam.
I remember having one of these as a child :)
Haha, the +7 and -7 annihilating into a photon was a nice touch
Little Professor: *80,000 problems*
Matt Parker: *I’m about to do a Parker Square move*
Had one of these as a kid myself... it really does wonders on mental calculation skills.
Really it'd be perfect if it could be used as a regular calculator as well, for the classroom :)
i loved the anihilation of +7 and -7 when it emitted a photon. nice touch
The photon at 5:13 was a nice touch.
With the way Dr. Grime talked so fondly about his Little Professor, preserving the packaging might actually increase the resale value.
Looks, brains, AND humour? Matt's the total package!
for a math guy you would think he know the difference between eight thousand and eighty thousand
The potential of this calculator sneaking up on me while I am showering is a little off putting, but I've got to admit, it's hard to say no to a top-hinged instruction booklet.
SOLD!
My little brother hates math but once I showed him this video, he instantly subscribed to numberphile ^_^
I guess this video alone popularises math more than any numberphile video
The little professor is just a normal calculator with a confidence issue, it's so unsure of itself that it asks you to check if it is right.
Which calculator did you use to work out the average score ?
"They anihilate and emit a photon!" :D
Oh, man I love all of these unboxings!
I like how the 7 and the -7 collided and emitted a photon
It does say 80,000 but it also is in a tall typeface and lacks a comma, so it is totally understandable to misread it as 8000 because it was poorly designed.
You should do more of this
"This is an anti-calculator. In fact, if you collide it fast enough with a normal calculator it will annihilate instantly" Brilliant, absolutely brilliant
Jay-Z: "I've got 99 problems"
Little Professor: "Hold my beer"
It was 80.000 problems. Not 8.000
Or did I just fell for the trap?
No, it's wasn't 80
UntoldAnimations Although I get the joke, it technically doesn't work as in certain countries the comma is used for decimals and the period is used for large numbers. So 1.253.775 is what you would probably write as 1,253,775 and 3,7798 is what you would probably write as 3.7798
Joey Tabora Yeah, I know. Was just poking at some fun ;3
The trap of numbers.
I lost my pants at "and emit a photon"!
Did it collide with anti-pants?
I'm actually loving these calculator unboxing videos
Its a rare occasion, when a channel based around mathematics gets number recognition wrong, I see 4 zeros after the 8, making it eighty-thousand, not eight-thousand
Matt, don't take the hate seriously. I found this hilarious, please keep on doing what you do. 10/10, best calculator unboxing ever!
Yes, Texans are known for their acceptance of others, as long as their White Rich Christians.
I love Matt Parker's subtle humor, such as the Texas joke at the beginning of the video. The jokes are easy to miss if you don't notice them.
So THIS is where calculators get their answers from. Broadcast from child labor all over the world. Very clever Texas Instruments.
i got 8000 problems but an order of magnitude ain't one
In Soviet Russia, calculator asks you!
Who would have thought Numberphile would be responsible for the best unboxing bids on UA-cam?
Man, I remember your calculator unboxings. Amazing.
It's actually eightYthousand, you know... ;)
+7 -7 = photon. Nice touch.
I love his sarcasm at the beginning of the unboxing xD
OMG another instalment of the calculator unboxing series, been waiting too long for another one of these
They annihilate and create a photon XD omg I'm dying
Please explain why the durability isn't a 9 or 10. You explicitly said it survived the crash
Because then it couldn't collide with the cred score and emit a photon.
Joh Embrey Of course, it should emit two photons =) silly mathematician forgot his conservation of momentum
***** An antiphoton is actually just a photon, so you could see it =) Force carriers, aka the Z bozon or gluons are their own antiparticle believe it or not!
Perhaps it died in the shower scene?
best comedy i have seen in a while.
I love Matt's sense of humour. He's always a pleasure to watch.
0:59 Not sure if he's being sarcastic or serious...
Actually Texas is mostly Mexican
source: I live in Houston
Did you not notice the sarcasm in the video
Derek Leung Everything he said was 100% serious
Derek Leung
What sarcasm? Texas is a highly multicultural place.
1:48 Lost it at the annotation. I love these videos.
I just noticed how in the scoring the -7 and 7 emitted a photon when they collided and annihilated.
You know, Texas is actually, to my knowledge, pretty multicultural. I've met a bunch of people from Texas who do foreign exchange and stuff. But whatever, the point is still kinda valid, and I have never actually been there, so, yeah.
The big university cities don't count. ;)
This guy cuts the packaging, while he can jus open it.
These unboxings are great. We should have Unboxing Day every year.
I don't know why but I lost it when he canceled the -7 and 7 scores out and read the score so precisely. It was my breaking point.
