    If you have 7 lasers, you'll need one additional laser pointer, just to make it a power of 2.

    • @lopesdoria
      @lopesdoria 2 роки тому +16

      No no no. You are doing it all wrong. The number of hirees must be a power of 2, but you should make sure the number of lasers is always prime.

      7 is prime, but personally I also agree that powers of two is the way to go.

      @@georgeprout42 No, no, no, a power of 2 number of lasers would use just too much of power.

      7 lasers is perfect, you only need 3 bits to count it. 1 more and you'd have to increase your space by a 3rd

      ​@@lopesdoria Obviously the correct compromise is to make sure that the number of lasers is both a power of 2 and prime. So trash five of the lasers. Meanwhile, the number of hirees needs to be a positive integer a such that a/(b+c) + b/(c+a) + c/(a+b) = 4 has positive integer solutions...

    You obviously need 1024 cameras so you can do matrix bullet time.

    As someone who studied production and works in theatre it's kinda fun to watch someone (likely representative of most of the population) point at positions and call them funny (to me) names

    Hey Matt! How about adding a 3d (stereoscope) front row recording for those of us with the ability to watch it?

    Idea: People may FAX in their own mathematical errors during the interval, and they have to bring in their own FAX machine if they want to do this. Phone jack sockets will be provided.

    Idea: Hand out carefully co-ordinated peices of paper with numbers and letters (cut in half) to audience members and utalise them to form an old-school split-flap display. This idea is very weakly related to the show in any regard.

    I think your new hire needs her own pawducational channel. 🐾 after all she has 4 legs which is not only a power of 2, but the square of Matt’s legs - hence clearly superior.
