The Cannon Arc Design looks inaccurate, but it is actually really precise; when multiplying the square root of 2 by itself, any good calculator will say it's 2, but in race mode, this calculator has taken the values as velocities and, considering special relativity, it has given us an even more precise result!
"In addition to the normal zero, you've got the double zero. That's for when things are reeeeeally zero. I mean this ones pretty zero, this ones absolute zero" lmaaaooo
+karffiol - I never had a calculator designed for bin use, and I regret it. I accidentally used my Citizen calculator in a bin, and it stopped working. When I tried to make a warranty claim, the technician instantly recognized that it was misused (bin use) and refused to fix it.
This is so funny. "It tells you not to put it in th bin - because its difficult to use it in the bin" this video is full of great jokes, and definetly I'll add to my favourites!
I have encountered devices that use the term bin to refer to the concept of ‘the binary positional-notation numeral system’. The majority of calculators in the video are likely to be limited to the decimal one.
The first calculator has 8 digits, the third has 12, and both round to the last digit. That makes the third calculator about 10 thousand times more accurate than the first.
watch it again, the first one came up with 1,99...98 as the answer to sqrt(2)², the second had it as 1,99...99 while even displaying more digits. also, it switched to racing mode!!!1 (omg, i can't believe i'm arguing about this)
"12! 12 digits - that's amazing! i'm surprised they don't write that right across the to- oh they do, there it is..." this is honestly the funniest math video (11:17 )
Should this be a post-nuclear winter, you can continue calculating solely on the battery. Where do you get that from Matt? Absolutely loving your humor.
I first saw this as, "Oh Numberphile had nothing to do so they made a joke video", but after seeing it... I still think the same way, _but_ I was pleasantly entertained.
your neighbors must think your nuts, I can hear them now " John the odd man is dropping Calculators in the middle of the road again". in all,honesty you do awesome videos, love the British humor.
I have no idea how I got into watching this video, but I'm glad I did. From the very first moments to it's end I just couldn't stop laughting. Funny stuff and really nicley made!
That water protecting cover is an amazing idea! I can't tell you have many times i've been in the shower and wanted to do calculations! And when I'm in bed, that raised 5 will help me do those calculations in the shower during a blackout!
I went into this without much of an interest for calculators, I just figured "but hey, it's numberphile. it has to be good." and it was. absolutely hilarious, and I learnt a bit about calculator inaccuracy. awesome.
6:11 That's a shame. I'd love to have heard a song written by Matt Parker about the WHSmith Scientific Calculator's ability to differentiate between an angle of 0.0001 and its sine.
I was taking a shower in my recreational vehicle today, and I suddenly had the rational need to find the area of the tiles in my shower. Luckily, I had that protective waterproof cover for my calculator.
I love how he shows how to open to boxes so he can return it later, then 10 minutes later drops them, splashes them with water, or burns them. But atleast you did not damage the box I guess
"Should you be calculating in a wet environment" "If you're unfamiliar with what digits are" "Should you wish to learn a foreign language" "Once you start calculating they're correctly assuming you're simply not going to stop" this video made my day
There were some pretty great parts. My favorite was the parts where he was admiring the topology of the box and "GT racing" mode. It's just that a lot of it wasn't funy to me.
As opposed to dutch humor? Or japanese humor? Or swaziland humor? Seriously, I'm American and this is hilarious. As far as I'm concerned there's no difference. If he didn't have a British accent but said the exact same things you wouldn't have said anything. Actually, you might have just said you didn't like it for some other reason ('uhh... itz stoopid.').
+Владимир Кузнецов No just an accuracy test.1divided by 7 times seven should give exactly 1 but many calculators dont and give you 0.99999998 or something like that.
+Insomniac Haha! Wonder how many people got that! Surprisingly, you only have to watch the first episode of Breaking Bad to get this joke (S01E01). Get on it, people! :D
the 8 at the end of the series tells you the calculator rounded down at that digit, if it were truly 0.9 recurring the last digit would have rounded upwards and the final answer would have been simply 2.
From what I can tell its pretty much just not taking that last step to just turn the digit into what it actually is, which means it wasn't programmed to be as accurate as it should have been.

No
My HP32Sii gives 1.99999999999 (plus a few more internal 9's).
always use the protective cover when doing hardcore math, you don't want to catch a calculus transmitted disease
+Ankush Girotra Please guys no more likes, leave it as it is
+ILYES No.LIKEing is my birthright and I will have it.
+Adriyaman Banerjee It is already ruined, so go ahead, like it as many times as you wish
+ILYES Why?Was it 69 or something?
Get your cover tested periodically, and avoid trading it with more than one person, at a time.
Am I only one who thinks that this was a lot funnier than a lot of TV comedy shows?
No
No, you are not.
Borjan Gagovski No.
Borjan Gagovski Nope
Considering this is _the_ stand up mathematician we're dealing with, nope.
the sarcasm radiates from this video, coincidentally powering my calculator.
hhahaaahaha
😂😂😂
Matt Marlborough, where can I purchase one of these marvellous sarcasm powered calculation devices?
@@usmanh770 g GG
The sarcasm in this video is insane.
Dramawind "...should you wish to learn a foreign language..." Lol!
One Hunnit Tech It doesn't do calculations in a bin.
I need a calculator on the screen
"In addition to the normal zero, you've got the double zero. That's for when things are reeeeeally zero. I mean this ones pretty zero, this ones absolute zero" lmaaaooo
Nah, it's just to give the house a bigger advantage.
So you're saying this calculator is American (and not French)?
what if you divide by 00?
+Dominic Littlewood
You get infinity squared and crash all of mathematics.

~ Numberphile 2013
are there any calculators designed specifically for "in a bin" use? also if I use a regular calculator in a bin, does it void the warranty? thank you
+karffiol - I never had a calculator designed for bin use, and I regret it. I accidentally used my Citizen calculator in a bin, and it stopped working.

+MasterBata well that's tough, damn those calculator bin recognition systems!
The bamboo one, unboxing at Numberphile's channel lol
Binary Calculator, eh?
You may want to give the bin a hug before attempting. Only do this if you have a hug-compatible calculator (Marked Hg).
This is so funny. "It tells you not to put it in th bin - because its difficult to use it in the bin" this video is full of great jokes, and definetly I'll add to my favourites!
What does bin mean?
Justin gurbij

I like how the first calculator has the same accuracy as the third, but still got a much lower mark xD
The first calculator has 8 digits, the third has 12, and both round to the last digit. That makes the third calculator about 10 thousand times more accurate than the first.
RFC3514 True, I should be ashamed of myself. No math for me for 1 week.
watch it again, the first one came up with 1,99...98 as the answer to sqrt(2)², the second had it as 1,99...99 while even displaying more digits. also, it switched to racing mode!!!1
(omg, i can't believe i'm arguing about this)
must have been calculated using one of those two calculators.
probably cause it had more operations.
so percentage wise its the same accuracy but straight number wise it would be higher.
I really love these videos
thank you
You're quite welcome.
Yeah....... I love you guys to make these..........
When would things be "really zero"?
Are we talking about a zero with an infinite string of zeroes?
Or what is it?
Hm...
joke
your head
I've always found unboxing videos completely pointless and stupid. I love this satirical take on it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
RV mode is clearly intended for Heisenberg.
l2ic3 can't believe you didn't get top comment... yet
+l2ic3 are you ever gonna get top comment?
+Daniel Sultana what about now? I'm on mobile so I can't check
I have a great appreciation for witty British sarcasm.
"12! 12 digits - that's amazing! i'm surprised they don't write that right across the to- oh they do, there it is..." this is honestly the funniest math video (11:17 )
"splashsafety in case youre calculating in the shower or the swimmingpool"... i just love you guys...
Should this be a post-nuclear winter, you can continue calculating solely on the battery. Where do you get that from Matt? Absolutely loving your humor.
Best Unboxer Ever!
How can you open these mint condition relics without gloves on??!?!
Relics?
I first saw this as, "Oh Numberphile had nothing to do so they made a joke video", but after seeing it... I still think the same way, _but_ I was pleasantly entertained.
Best unboxing video ever
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Mathematicians:
"Calculator Unboxing"
There's too many funny things said to quote
Numberphile: carefully saves blister
Also numberphile: destroys every calculator!!!
Of course you cannot make calculation in a bin, there is no sunlight there.
"...it has put it into racing mode though." Hilarious
The tongue in cheek stuff - water protection jacket, RV mode, ABSOLUTEtely zero, etc - had me absolutely rolling with laughter! Fantastic geek humor!
"thats for when things are really zero" I absolutely lost it
The best unboxing video on UA-cam. Please do another episode using graphing calculators :)
I love how calculator unboxings have gone from this to 100% dry British wit and sarcasm.
your neighbors must think your nuts, I can hear them now " John the odd man is dropping Calculators in the middle of the road again". in all,honesty you do awesome videos, love the British humor.
"..which is an average score of four point one six reoccurring." :D
Lessons for foreign languages! XD
+RedsBoneStuff hahahahahhahahaaha XD
This is the best unboxing video I have ever seen. I would have never expected it from a calculator unboxing...
Did a mathematician seriously just say its safer to cut a blade towards you?
Or am I Sheldon Cooper and didn't realize it was sarcasm?
+Paulygon He also uses the back of the blade at the beginning
+Paulygon There is an YT annotation that clearly says it was a joke.
+Ma4zu6 I can't get annotations on mobile.
The entire video is a joke/parody, so yes, you missed the joke
+tj12711 I need to read the book Leonard and Penny gave me...
One of the greatest video on UA-cam

It's 1am, i don't even ask myself how I got here.
i'll totally use the last one when im in my underwater racing RV during a post-apocalyptic winter
10x more interesting than any iPhone unboxing I've seen on TechFeed! lmao
This was absolutely hilarious. Kudos. So glad I discovered this series thanks to the latest installment.
I am literally watching calculator unboxings, what is my life
Same here
Frank Da Tank
Can I find a Calculator to work out the meaning of Life, the Universe, and EVERYTHING?!
Well what about my personality problems then? I need One that, can work that out to ten decimal places.
The best parody on all the ridicules reviews on youtube. Brilliant stuff!
I really don’t know why I’m watching this, but i like it
the "7 X 7" test... ha ha ha
.. and some more (not so accurate) tests... LOL
I went into this without much of an interest for calculators, I just figured "but hey, it's numberphile. it has to be good." and it was. absolutely hilarious, and I learnt a bit about calculator inaccuracy. awesome.

awesome:
"...to allow easy reinsertion of the calculator into it's protective cover"
This is one of the funniest videos on UA-cam.
"...and it is able to contain something quite nicely in ℝ³..."
I nearly spat chilli all over my laptop. Top class video!
This is the most entertaining video I've seen all day! :D
I would've loved to see you ring the Morrisons helpline for lols.
Only just seen this , the humour is on point
lol, "cutting towards my body so I can keep an eye on the blade."
I can''t give this enough thumbs up.
"Packaged it in a kind of cuboid of cardboard." Hilarious!

this issss funny :') now im on a marathon watching calculator unboxings :')
It's very difficult to use in a bin. EPIC LOL
I almost thought this was going to be a parody of unboxing, but it's just loads of fantastic humorous commentary! Love it!
make all the jokes that you want, but I didn't know that the sqr2 test was a thing. I'm amazed.
What exactly is the square root test?
pitthepig ok thanks!
This dudes sarcasm has me dying
"Should you be calculating in a wet environment" "If you're unfamiliar with what digits are" "Should you wish to learn a foreign language" "Once you start calculating they're correctly assuming you're simply not going to stop" this video made my day
It's 1:30 AM, why am I watching Calculator Reviews?
Ryan Galata 1:20 am here
4:45 here
Lol 1:36 AM here
Lol the sarcasm in this video... Do a ti84 color review plz
8:54 who don't use a calculator in a swimming pool 🤣
For the accuracy i give a 6.99999... just made my day
I wonder how many people actually got that xD
British humor...
Karl Muster i'm not british and i only laugh at british humor...this video is the funniest thing ever
There were some pretty great parts. My favorite was the parts where he was admiring the topology of the box and "GT racing" mode. It's just that a lot of it wasn't funy to me.
As opposed to dutch humor? Or japanese humor? Or swaziland humor?
Seriously, I'm American and this is hilarious. As far as I'm concerned there's no difference. If he didn't have a British accent but said the exact same things you wouldn't have said anything. Actually, you might have just said you didn't like it for some other reason ('uhh... itz stoopid.').
You mean the best kind of humor?
Diego Morales Really dry snark is considered to be British for some reason.
8:52 wow, that's a good idea! I've never been sure about the best way to use my calculator in a swimming pool!
Very informative, been wanting to learn a foreign language for a while now.
unboxing calculators lol
These videos are absolutely the best things to watch when you haven't slept in quite a few hours.
did i just watch a 13 minute calculator unboxing
toucan 夢 And loved every minute
I totally love your humour!
Is it wrong that this is the funniest thing I've seen all week?
RV mode for cooking meth and GT mode for racing lmao
Is 7*7 a kind of a special test for calculators? (A common procesor error or something?)
Probably not, just to figure out and show that its working
They were mocking the fact that they didn't have any sophisticated tests
+Владимир Кузнецов No just an accuracy test.1divided by 7 times seven should give exactly 1 but many calculators dont and give you 0.99999998 or something like that.
I didn't knew that getting my first calculator would make me this mad, that I started watching every single calculator video😂
still as funny as when I saw it the first time =)
Im watching calculator unboxings wtf am I doing
Warning: "This calculator is not for doing calculations in a bin" - LOL!
Walter White approves of the RV mode
Please call the customer support and ask math questions!
I couldn't list all of the jokes in this if I tried; if calculators were this amusing all the time I'd have run out of money a long time ago.
English humour, best humour!
6.542 possibly a 7. I cannot take how funny this is
I couldn't stop giggling at this
From when are you going to do stand-up ?

Mu is for friction koefficients.. Roo is used for density
Mu is for refractive index ffs!
Mu is where people that used the Death Note go when they die, get it right!
Majin Supai +1
Just in case anyone is curious about the Canon, MU is 'markup', GT is 'grand total' and RV is 'reverse' (operands).
I really appreciate the Breaking Bad reference at 10:08
I got the breaking bad joke
+Insomniac Haha! Wonder how many people got that! Surprisingly, you only have to watch the first episode of Breaking Bad to get this joke (S01E01). Get on it, people! :D
+A. Khakwani I just got to that point XD
+A. Khakwani I got it, even though I have never watched breaking bad
I especially enjoyed the 'I wouldn't write a song about it' part. Wonderful bit of irony there! xD
Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9.
Matt Parker is hilarious. Subtly so, but hilarious nonetheless :)
The sarcasm is strong with this one. The only numberphile videos that I truly understand.
You said that 0.9 recurring is inaccurate, but isn't another video on this channel explaining how 0.9 recurring is 1?
Check the calculator again.
Ezeckel Reichert You're an idiot. Finish watching the video before you comment, you dumbass.
the 8 at the end of the series tells you the calculator rounded down at that digit, if it were truly 0.9 recurring the last digit would have rounded upwards and the final answer would have been simply 2.
John Robinson ah my bad, I thought you were talking about calculator #1, didn't see the calculator 3 accuracy test until just now
From what I can tell its pretty much just not taking that last step to just turn the digit into what it actually is, which means it wasn't programmed to be as accurate as it should have been.
