    *Sees first two primes don’t follow his rule *Calls them sub primes.
  • I like how hard it was for him to do the math in his head. It reminds me of the saying "the more math you know, the harder it is to do math"
  • 0:58 I love how he rewrote the 139 to make it read 289 after he scored out that calculation so he could say "Dammit I was right". Parker convincing.
  • @munjee2
    It amazing how matt did all the mental maths perfectly and then said 170 +70 AND 49 is somehow less than the original
  • I like how the four categories from your proof also show up in the "easier" proof. Either the multiple of 4 is above or below the prime, and either the multiple of 3 is above or below the prime, giving four possibilities that directly correspond to your categories.
  • @j_sum1
    17^2=139 I think I just witnessed Parker Squaring.
  • 3*3 is one more than 8, 1/3 of 24. 2*2 is one more than 3, 1/8 of 24. Pretty neat!
  • Matt: There is a pattern with prime squares, they are all multiples of 24 plus 1. All? Matt: Almost all. So it's a parker squares pattern then...
  • @B3Band
    Nice sneaky edit of the 139 on the paper
  • “I like to argue that 2 and 3 are not real primes” Goodbye, fundamental theorem of arithmetic
  • Only three things are certain: Death, Taxes, and Parker Square jokes.
  • @HunterJE
    That second proof gave me chills down my spine when I saw where it was going, you might even say it was an Amazingly Satisfying Mathematical Result
  • I just love your guests, every one of them. Listening to them is such a treat. Thanks
  • @yuvalne
    17^2=139. C'mon. Now you're just begging us to make a Parker Square joke.
  • @yoni5919
    I am currently doing my degree in maths and one of the things we need to prove is that all primes squared (above 3) are one more than a multiple of 6, and I know how to prove it because of your video. love you matt!!!!
