“I don’t know, do you!”
"I don’t care, do you!"
“Will not come back, will you!”
“Don’t limp in here late with a lame excuse!” … “Are you lame?”
It was about seven years ago on here, when asked I said, I stopped asking questions when I didn’t like the answers
Is that not simply evident from the die set up? Each face has an opposite face that adds up to 7. Such as 1 being the other side of 6. So 3x7 gives 21.
Kinda assumes that the dice has six sides too.
A bit more of an interesting “fact” is that there are 204 squares on an 8 by 8 chessboard.
Where are all of you going ?
I don’t give a flying duck where you’re going
EDIT … quoting the man in the above video.
I like that and immediately understood why it is not simply 64. But I was looking for the calculation that would save counting all the various sized squares. Maybe factorial of 4 or 8? Maybe 8 cubed. None of these.
It is quite simple - 64+49+36+25+16+9+4+1 (sum of the square of numbers 8 to 1) as this is how many 1x1 squares plus how many 2x2 squares plus how many 3x3 squares, etc. Quite cool.
Yep… …I think…
Yep. Naturally it’s simple to use the same idea to the number of cubes in a cube.
Squares in a rectangle, or rectangles in a square, or rectangles in a rectangle, or their 3D equivalent are a bit more challenging, but along the same lines.
Once one has established the principle, then a move to eg the number of hyper-cuboids in an n-dimensional hypercuboid is manageable.
I’ll leave that one to you @Lincolnshire. I’m just going to have a cuppa instead
Here’s another wild fact, in the guise of a question (just to keep things on topic )… did you know that if you put some honey in a dish and swash water over it (a bit like panning for gold, which seems to be a favourite pastime for our Australian brethren), then it will end up forming itself into hexagonal patterns? This demonstrates how honey has a “memory” of the cells in a beehive in which it was formed.
“How’s it going Of-fi- zerz!”
“You have broken the speed limit!”
“I was trying to make it here in time.”
Blimey, by the time you’ve done all those tests there’ll be no bloody honey left for your sarnie!
My vid says Dext’s vid is myth.
I saw that, but folks have to stop meddling, let the Honey Be
That’s a shame. It was the third video I’ve seen making the claim.
Oh Dex, behive yourself
Pull the other one.
