  • Am I the only person sitting here watching this because I'm actually interested?? Man, I'm a nerd...

  • @RascaIKat no, I am too. we can be nerds together

  • @ferrous719 gross

  • @RascaIKat Yes, you are a nerd. No, you are not alone. :)

  • seriously they spend almost a WHOLE YEAR to find out about some little number game. WOW and i thought you were supposed to be smart.

  • @ConMan95446 but maybe they can use the information they learned to look for, say, unique combinations of DNA. This is a simplified, easily (relatively) quantifiable test run to figure out the methods by which you would solve for HUGE problems involving reduction of variables. ie- find 'families' of answers, find 'unavoidable' combinations, etc.

  • what about 0!!! you create your own grid! or even 1!! your technically getting it right!

  • yea, GO MATH!

  • i came here from a minecraft video.

  • @olivedge me too

  • i started at ghetto deer

  • Nice cure for insomnia video!

  • I would not have finished watching this if he didn't have an accent

  • numbers are really cool

  • you look like your on crack

  • Um....i think the answer is 17

  • How the EFFFF did I get here from minecraft videos?

  • Well, if you could get 2 answers from a 16 clues grid. Wont the 2 answers kinda turn the 16 clues in to 18 clues?

  • I clicked it cause it keeping following me on Pony videos. Back to the pony video. >.>

  • This guy's gotta be on something.

  • I ran across a sudoku in the newspaper with a non-unique solution. There were only two pairs of numbers transposed so I got them both easily. But it pissed me off.

  • @kozmon0t so if I had erased those 2 numbers, then I would have had a valid sudoku with 87 clues but no unique solution. How about THAT.

    ok, I guess it's not that great.

  • He looks way too happy.

  • Do one about God's Number!

  • it'sn't 1000000x1000000 equal to 1,000,000,000,000? I believe that is called a trillion? just saying?

  • @ikfsamurai Either way is correct, it depends entirely where you come from. Many european countries use what is called the "long scale" naming system which defines "billion" as "one million million." This is another reason why it makes more sense to use scientific notation: Saying "times ten to the twelfth" produces no ambiguity.

  • 17 my lucky number <3

  • I'm no smarter after watching this...

  • I solve sodoku in pen like a boss!

  • @MoribitoLover there is no number for it dumbass

  • DUDE LEARN ENGLISH! THERE'S NO MILLION MILLION!

  • @MoribitoLover He isn't using Million as a number, he's using it as factor to multiply with...

  • @MoribitoLover I THINK YOU NEED YOUR EARS CLEANED OUT! HE WAS SPEAKING PLAIN ENGLISH! But seriously dude, typing in all caps makes you look like a douche who's yelling all the time.

  • @MoribitoLover a million millions 10E6x10E6=10E12= a thousand billions. but then again, you say it doesn't exist so I and that pretty clever guy must be wrong.

  • Back to my pony vids >_>

  • I liked your joke.

  • Just a nitpick. You said that Sudoku comes from Japan. That's actually not true. It was invented in America, and first published by Dell Magazines in 1979 under the name Number Place. Now, in Number Place, puzzles always started with 4 clues in each row, column, and box; it wasn't until Japan's reinvention of the puzzle as Sudoku that the arrangement of clues became more arbitrary.

    The moar you know.

  • First: Majoras mask, Then anime murder, then MLP (We bronies will take over the world!), then this.

  • Why did I come here from ponies? *looks at video tags* Mathematical --> Adventure Time --> My Little Pony --> ???? --> Profit?

  • @OfficialVanacus I still don't understand what this has to do with ponies

  • @EveryDayIsADerpyDay It doesn't. It relates to math, which is related to the phrase "mathematical" (see tags) which is the catch phrase of Finn The Human from the show Adventure Time. And whenever you see videos about Adventure Time, ponies are always in the related video. So it's a bit inverse in this case.

  • 17? Why not 42?

  • I got here from ponies.

  • "poozle"? What's a "poozle"?

  • I got here from smosh

  • A friend of mine just finished a iPhone App that helps the user learn math (unless you're doing Algebra, then you have to wait.)

  • Quickest Solution: 2n-1. Typical Sudoku is a 9 by 9, so n = 9. 2n-1 = 17. As mentioned before, this is just a simplification of n^2-(n-1)^2.
