Thanks for having me on, this was a blast!

my parents: "are you ever gonna get a girlfriend?" me: "it's possible, it's just probability zero."

Grant : Has unnecessarily expensive and fancy compass Also Grant: Uses random piece of cardboard as a "straight" edge

One benefit of inviting 3blue1brown is that he does the animations himself.

Everybody gangster till the animated personified pi shows up.

Lightning never strikes the same place twice 3B1B: Nay, but my darts shall!

"I'm gonna try to make this a worse shot" hits the middle 3Blue1Brown Suffering from Success
-
I felt so weird watching this video, because 3blue1brown is talking but, with his face
-
This is probably the best demonstration of a useful application of higher dimensional math that I've ever seen. Compressing a series of 2D coordinates into a single nD coordinate to get the probability of the whole set. Awesome!
-
I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with e since the late 80s.
-
One day I’m gonna prove Grant wrong and find the real number line out in nature.
-
So, now the most calm and relaxing voice on youtube has also a face
-
I am not a mathematician, most of the stuff on numberphile goes over my head but it is just SO satisfying to watch. For example, I have no idea what e is, I didn't understand anything past explaining what the game is, but it is so damn satisfying to watch, it's like wizardry
-
I wasn’t sure whether I should make a pun about the vertical position of the very first dart thrown. Heck it, y-naught

"Infinity War was the biggest crossover in history" Brady Haran: Hold my Brown paper
-
"I'm gonna try to make this a worse shot" *proceeds to shoot exactly the same spot Merida style
-
Using a compass on a glass table with no protection below it. That mad lad

19:53 you mean.. the Grant finale? 😏
