+Jim Fortune It ain't necessarily so. A seconhand bamboo calculator expertly scorched by numberphile technicians may well have more value than a new one. I would happily pay over the odds for this and not feel bamboozled, because as we all know everyone goes daft for a piece of the ol' bam-boo, and this one can count past seven.
"Even if the answers are not quite correct, the important thing is that around them is a thin layer of bamboo." This line absolutely slayed me with laughter.
Paul Borst TI and Casio have the best calculators. There are mistakes in the basic windows calculator. Though these days people instead get a calculator app for thier smart phone.
***** Sorry, I was wrong. Upon further research, they do belong to the Ursidae family, even though in chinese he is called the "big bear cat". I mistook them for the red pandas, or lesser pandas, which are part of the Ailuridae family, which is closer related to raccoons.
***** I mistook their names. They are both called pandas, you know. And in mandarin the panda bear is called a cat bear. 'Tis all confusing when you don't really speak english.
I think I can safely say that I speak for the entire youtube community when I say we'd like you to start focussing more on these very informative calculator unboxings and less on the other topics the channel dabbles in.
"This is the only calculator you could safely feed to a panda bear." You have given me a new life's mission...make calculators out of food. I'm thinking about starting with a beef jerky calculator.
Always make sure that your bamboo calculator is made of natural bamboo. Don't settle for any supernatural bamboo calculators even though they might be cheaper.
This video traumatized my toddler. I'm not sure whether it was the DIV/0 failure or torching the unit. I'm leaning toward the former, with a delayed reaction in the vein of PTSD.
What a lovely background @5:30. Most destruction vids you see nowadays have some desert, or blast shield as a scene. Here instead, we got Miss Sophies backyard including an ancient urn that's holding the ashes of an alien, just to add some class.
I'm pretty sure what's happening at 2:38 and 3:25 is that it's still trying to calculate 1/0 and the 0 you are seeing is the 0 you entered. Thus when you try to enter numbers it won't accept them, but when you hit On/AC you are sending a reset to the processor, which gets it out of the infinite loop. I could be wrong.
On a bonus note: Chances are if you left it in this state and blocked the solar panel, it would probably go through the battery noticeably faster than normal. This could actually be an interesting test. The catch is that if the programming is very basic (as seems to be the case), the processor may not actually be going to sleep while idle, in which case it's probably using full power for the duration that it's turned on, and so would not be a valid test. Bummer ;)
This calculator may not be much, but it can calculate the number of soccer games that England won at the world cup this cycle, and the percentage chance of England advancing to the knockout round. (spoiler alert -- the zero key will come in handy).
1:36 - "let's fire it up"
4:54 - fires it up
Really :D
"In fact giving it to a panda is probably the best chance they would have of multiplying" - you just made my day :)
I didn't get the joke until I read it in your comment. :'D
lol, i missed it when watching the video :)
+kurtilein3
Haha me too.
I think subjecting the calculator to a blow torch flame may have lowered the value as a collectible more than opening the box from the top would have.
+Jim Fortune Spoiler warnings, please! ;-)
That'll teach me to read the comments before watching the video.
OWJ Burnham Since comments are generally considered to be about the video, I would think they all are, or at least should be, spoilers.
+Jim Fortune Indeed!
(Just in case the tone got lost in my typing, I was (mostly) joking.)
OWJ Burnham I might have missed that. My apologies.
+Jim Fortune It ain't necessarily so. A seconhand bamboo calculator expertly scorched by numberphile technicians may well have more value than a new one.

That panda reproduction joke though.
I'm ashamed to say I didn't see it coming. Nice one.
What material is this thing made of anyway?
unobtanium
It's a calculator - but it's made of bamboo!
i think it is bamboo, but I'm not quite sure
It's obvious, the calculator is made of calculator.
Bombay
"Giving this to a panda is probably the best chance they would have, of course, of multiplying"
Brilliant.
1. I expected you to add the bonus bamboo round to the total score.
2. I expected you to check whether it still worked after being burnt.
agree
Finally a calculator with '12 Digitals'! Where have you been all my life? You can only go so far with digits.
+MisterBrauer I prefer calculators with 12 analogs though
+jfb-1337 I, myself, prefer 12 solid states

In case you missed our earlier calculator unboxings...

I liked the joke about pandas multiplying, as they have a difficult time mating :-)
Maxim Marchal I could multiply before I could mate.
so could most people
+Numberphile But does it blend???

"Giving this to a panda is probably the best chance they would have of multiplying." OMG. :D #bamboo
***** They're not bears, though.
Zark Braunschweig Belong to cat family?

@@MrZark It's a calculator - but it's made of bamboo.
Is it really bamboo, or even wood, or is it just a look-a-like polymer?
It did not seem to burn like actual wood.
It's a calculator - but it's made of bamboo.
Take a drink every time he says the word *bamboo* or *calculator*.
Unhealthy.
I just said a similar thing a minute ago lol
It's a calculator - made of bamboo.
I really liked the fact that this calculator was made of bamboo.
It was? I must have been distracted during that part.
even comic book guy loses to this sarcasm
Yup
+Fester Blats IKR
multiplying panda joke absolute genius!
"This is the only calculator you can safely feed to a panda bear. That's important to BEAR in mind." Am I right???
I'll show myself out.
We need more commenters like you.
Lol I know right
??
Judging by the comments, this one's bamboozled a lot of people...
That "Multiplying" joke. Oh god...
What's this made of?
Solar bamboo calculator? I was hoping for a photosynthesis joke.
This guy is a comic genius. So much sarcasm throughout the entire video. I can't get enough of it lol.
Sweet! A bamboo calculator to go with my bamboo laptop!
Makes me wonder what unnatural bamboo is..
That comment made my day
😂😂😂
"It can tell you how percentage you are at any point"
I can grammers gooder, yes?
"... the best chance they would have of multiplying."
OMG, could not stop laughing.
Bamboo.
lol when "#bamboo" came up on the screen at 2:00, I couldn't stop myself from bursting out in laughter! :P
I think I can safely say that I speak for the entire youtube community when I say we'd like you to start focussing more on these very informative calculator unboxings and less on the other topics the channel dabbles in.
Spoiler: If you feed that to a panda bear it will die.
Unique but bad at calculating
What do you want more? :D
Nopiw They can´t calculate either :D
Cred should have been 10
Give this to a 2nd year old and then watch them fail algebra 1
Well, just finished off Game of Thrones... I Guess Calculator unboxing is the new thing I'm binge watching.
EDIT: #Bamboo
HERE IS A CHALLENGE: Name a material which is BETTER than bamboo!
Matt is absolutely brilliant. So hilarious
Also, is this the most hilarious video ever on this channel? It HAD to feature Matt Parker.
Most hilarious apart from, perhaps, the other calculator unboxings.
Kasparovwannabe Yes, now I've seen the other ones but I didn't know about them. They're all hilarious. And, obviously, it had to be Matt Parker.
The sarcasm is strong in this video....
Yes! Matt Parker is the best!
I love these videos
now the real question is: will it blend?
Giving pandas their best chance of multiplying was a stroke of brilliance.
The burnt calculator looks badass
When he made the panda multiplication remark my cat straight groaned and left the room. Tough crowd.
I don't think I've quite gotten my head around what this calculator is made from. Could someone please help me out?
While I love most of numberpile's videos the un boxing ones are always the best. I never knew so much sarcasm could be flung at calculators!
Doesn't burning the calculator affect the resell value?
Well then he wasn't planning on reselling it as we clearly saw................I still don't know what i just saw......
I was thinking the same exact thing with all of the other calculators. It'll be hard to resell a calculator with a broken screen and solar panel.
The true nature of mathematicians has been revealed!!!
Does it float? Make a good insulator? Deaden vibrations? Provide a warm and pleasing aesthetic?
What is it made of again?
okay, I know they're mocking someone, but who does calculator unboxings, besides this channel?
Klaevin it’s mocking general unboxing not of anything in particular.
If I hear the word "bamboo" one more time ... I am gonna shoot myself... hahahahaha
bamboo bamboo bamboo bamboo bamboo
bamboo
Yohan Elmaleh
BAMMMMMM ..... headshot..... Oh yeah .... Bambooz'ld.... :-P
Peter Remeeus boo!
The panda eats, shoots, and leaves.
Umm you wouldn't want to feed this to a panda. How about the electronic parts? Battery?
It is called Snarkassam.
I honestly can't tell if this is meant to be taken seriously or not.
Panda reproduction is a serious issue!
Then you're an idiot
That's an interesting calculator. What's it made of?
"This is the only calculator you could safely feed to a panda bear."
You have given me a new life's mission...make calculators out of food. I'm thinking about starting with a beef jerky calculator.
That is the best panda joke I have ever heard.
I never would've thought that Calculator Unboxing would become a recurring series, let alone that I would enjoy it so much.
Maybe I'll start sending you calculators to unbox... These are hilarious!
FINALLY!! Unboxing!! I've been waiting for it.
Does it still work after you´ve burned it?
This is my fav series from Numberphile.
It says plenty about my humour...
Name ten things that aren't bamboo
Most things aren't bamboo, unless they're a calculator that's made of bamboo!
Yes! I love the unboxings. Please continue to make them.
Wait wait, is that a calculator made of bamboo?
"This is the only way of making a panda multiply." haha best ever XD
a calculator to solve all mathematical problems
Always make sure that your bamboo calculator is made of natural bamboo. Don't settle for any supernatural bamboo calculators even though they might be cheaper.
*I have a Calculator FETISH !!!*
Thanks for the upload mate, mmm ;)
It's just... the luxury edition has so much more bamboo.
3:10
no, that's not percent
it's 0/0
He takes so much care opening the box, and then hits it with a blow torch!!! Dying!
... only calculator crash I've ever seen! Functionality: 1 / 0.
It didn't crash, it gave the correct answer. 1/0 = special 0 that you can't do anything with.
I've only just discovered this numberphile series. Its brilliant. I had no idea their were so many different types of calculators
You almost have 1 Million Subscribers and you make a Calculator Unboxing.
You're kidding right? #Logic
#Bamboo
no, #bamboo
It's a joke
#Bamboo
you need more #bamboo inside you
5:05 Did you try turning it off and back on again?
I love these reviews xD I want more... Maybe review the Texas Instruments CX CAS :D
"their best chance of multiplying" - almost fell out of my chair laughing :) Love these unboxing videos!
This video traumatized my toddler. I'm not sure whether it was the DIV/0 failure or torching the unit. I'm leaning toward the former, with a delayed reaction in the vein of PTSD.
"Giving this to a panda is probably the best chance they would have, of course, of multiplying"
Ooh, 12 digitals

I liked the panda multiplication thing
Holy crap this is the best thing, please do more! Love his unboxings.
btw this calculator is made of bamboo, just incase you didn't know
Yes!!! I've been waiting months for another one of these! I've had to make do watching the old ones a dozen times, but now I have this :)
is this a joke?
you are probably new here?
nah this is definitely absolutely 100% serious.
right on
Bamboo!
No, it's a bamboo calculator, made of bamboo -it calculates
I'm pretty sure what's happening at 2:38 and 3:25 is that it's still trying to calculate 1/0 and the 0 you are seeing is the 0 you entered. Thus when you try to enter numbers it won't accept them, but when you hit On/AC you are sending a reset to the processor, which gets it out of the infinite loop. I could be wrong.

This could actually be an interesting test.

Bummer ;)
But... will it blend?
I didn't catch the build material of this calculator. Can someone tell me what this calculator is made of, its really important for me.
I don't know what I expected to be honest...
I think the "percent button" is actually modulus. It tells you the remainder when dividing by something.
This calculator may not be much, but it can calculate the number of soccer games that England won at the world cup this cycle, and the percentage chance of England advancing to the knockout round. (spoiler alert -- the zero key will come in handy).
These are the best. I could watch calculator videos endlessly.
I still do not know if these are a joke
the blow torch at the end isn't a big enough clue?... ;)
Yes they are
I love these more random videos just sharing the lesser known side of maths.
This has to be a joke.
I know right no proper scientific testing was done here.
Thank you for these, I just watched all the calculator unboxings. Quite funny, made my evening!
Two different types of zeroes?XD
Marvin Lowe this 😂
I love these unboxings. Keep up the good work!
whos buying basic calculators, advanced ones i get but all phones have this built in
well the big draw back is, that your phone is not built out of bamboo. There is just no comparison.
But is your phone made of bamboo?
ah good point, i didnt think about schools
Vollrohrzucker you can buy Moto X with bamboo back cover
Uh, using a phone calculator is a bitch.
So what is the calculator made of? It doesnt look like plastic. I wish you told me that in the video
0:58, that was just evil, you had already opened it the intended way but you still had to cut it open.
I must say I lost it with the Pandas multiplying joke. Great work as usual Matt!
Each of these unboxings gets better and better.
That totally unecessary cut in the beginning
