Videos like this are great because they really allow children to connect math to real life. Kids are always saying, "Why do we need to learn this?" This video, led by the famous Bill Nye, is a perfect example.
What!? He assumes the boxes all contain an equal amount of cupcakes! Even if we find the area of the boxes and maximum diameter of the cupcakes, this problem is impossible! Silly mechanical engineers...
@Skidawg53 I guess because you start with the similar (2x, 3x) though, I also didn't hear how he gets "0x" from 3x - 2x + 1 ? are you even supposed to write or include an x with a zero?
Thanks for putting this up. This clip was a lot more interesting and informative than the one about bowling on the Disney website. Hopefully the segments are more like this than the bowling one.

The years haven't been overly kind to him.
I don't care though. Damn guy made me love science. His show taught me more then 12 years of real teachers did.

@DreamerM how have the years not been kind to him? He's a scientist not an actor. He is still very much involved in the world of science.
