a better way to count
Our Commentary
Forget counting in boring old decimal, let's switch to seximal for a change. Not sure if it's revolutionary or just plain confusing, but hey, anything to spice up math class, right?
seximal responses
Our Commentary
So I guess we're combining math and sexiness now? I'm not quite sure how to feel about this, but hey, at least it's educational...I think?
a joke about measurement
Our Commentary
Why use inches, feet, and yards when you can measure in "seximals"? This video just made rulers everywhere feel inadequate.
a defense of the imperial measurement system
Our Commentary
Defending the imperial measurement system is like trying to justify wearing socks with sandals - sure, some people might still do it, but it's definitely not ideal.
there are 48 regular polyhedra
Our Commentary
Just when you thought shapes were basic, this video hits you with 48 regular polyhedra in all their geometric glory. Who knew there were so many ways to slice and dice a shape? Mind = blown.
how many Super Mario games are there?
Our Commentary
So apparently trying to count all the Super Mario games is like trying to find the end of a rainbow - you keep thinking you're almost there, but then you realize there's just more and more to uncover. It's a never-ending gameception.
