This whole clip is brilliant, possibly the highlight of the whole H series. I can't help but laugh hysterically whenever I hear Phill's laugh at 1:30. xD
The British 50p and 20p coins are Reuleaux heptagons. This is because the curved sides of Reuleaux shapes make them the only shapes other than circles that have the same width all the way around, so vending machines can recognise them. This also means they can roll, and be used as manhole covers that cannot fall into the hole.
@ceebo100 it wouldn't make a perfect square if the triangle part the drill is mounted to was slightly the wrong shape, and it wouldn't make a very nice square if you just traced a square with a plain drill. The triangle isn't actually following the square, either, actually, just rotating within its bounds. So there's that.
There's a small moment at around 0:50 when you can actually see Ross Noble's mind being blown!!! His eyes are so adorable! It's like an early Christmas present! :D:D:D
@JohnRegular180 I saw him a few days ago, and likewise. He seemed jolly at the time but it was only the second night of the tour. He'll be sick of it soon!
I will never get tired of watching this clip...

The dril is a triangle shape but its the chuck that moves so it can cut a square hole.

I just love the look on Ross Noble's face as Fry tells him it's called a "rolo".
He has something like a mix between an orgasm and a brain fart.

@Joike169 So the drill is just making the outline of the square, but it didn't actually make the square in the film?
LyndzyLentil 5 months ago
I'll probably ruin the mood with this, but is it just me or is the drill not actully going into the very corners of the square it made? Confused...

That is stupid, the only reason it is making a sqaure is because it is following a sqaure.

@babylemonade Ok then so mount the triangle in a circle.. since the square has nothing to do with it.
