I love the exploration into why it's 1/6 instead of just settling for an answer from the "brute force" geometric series. It has been a while since James dropped a video and this one did not disappoint.
Simply astounding teaching. I love the way that the more creative the solutions become the more intuitive and accessible they become. It’s really sad that the standard math curriculum stops st solution one. Congrats - keep up the great work.
My way is pretty similar to the 5th way, but I deal better with rectangles than I do with triangles. I simply imagine each coloured triangle transformed into a rectangle of proportions 1:2, so that there are six such rectangles forming a square-shaped frame lining the largest square. It's a bit like viewing a small brick chimney from above. The same idea can then be applied to smaller and smaller chimneys constructed inside the largest one. Each new chimney has one coloured brick and five uncoloured ones.
I really appreciate the idea of making math more inuitive and visual.. but I think answers 2, 3, and 4 just made things more complicated and messy. The best ones were 1 and 5.

Please never stop uploading, you're the person who made me love math, specially visualizing it!!!
Oh Man, I wish I had you as a Full Time Tutor when I was a Kid.
I would’ve LOVED Science.

I loved all solutions, but the last one was the most mind-blowing!!! Thank you very much, these videos are all a treat!

Is it just me or did Answer 5 make the most sense than Answers 1 - 4?!
Anyone else astounded by the fact that he's writing everything backwards?
The amount of time he must spend practising writing backwards, it's like learning another written language!
the video is mirrored post-production...
Bruh moment
Wonderful
