6174

[Jaedeajnx]

If the results of your third subtraction gives you a negative, can the reversed number be positive, or does it keep the sign of the original?

[mathisoptional]

...youre hot..

[Praptolium]

omg I just tested this. and I got 6174.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!?

[milainluv]

you shouldve been my math teacher...or teach my math teacher a thing or two. lol

plus

i think im in love lol

ending part. makes you more awesome

[subconsciouslystupid]

get the hell back on youtube. you are well missed!

[shiningdragonz]

Miss You!! just sayin :3



[alejandroquesada]

Make more videos!!!!

We miss you!!!

I find myself saying randomly (on the street, on the bus stop, in college) "Hello children, my name is Banananeil and i'm a lion, RAWR"

[riddlehorcrux6]

Oh my god! You played Hedwig's Theme! New best friend!

[MichelleTells]

what a magical #! :)

[TerasXertas]

Omg, Harry Potter music O_O

[Elliotgn]

Found you about two or three weeks ago. I've now watched every

[GreenJellify]

it froze just as you were slamming the keyboard on your face XD

[dani12455]

Hi,

I know you don't normally teach math, or explain anything about math(except for this video), but since you've made this one... I am kinda hoping you'd make another exception and make a video about differential calculus since my teacher isn't really good when it comes to teaching.

[rachinapotter]

You are saying "you" slash "them, thus you said, "You" over "them". Thus you are saying "you" divided by "them. WHY DO YOU WANT OUR FRIENDS TO KILL US!!!!

[Tabemonosama]

I just discovered you , and I'm in love with you . i mean your video . That means you . Anyway , I sound creppy , sorry for thaaat !

[Cortnellius]

hello I have recently started vlogging and i was wondering if anyone would like to check out my channel. If not oh well. have a spectacular day

[0410mushroom]

Hi,

I am a random YouTube vlogger and I started vlogging because I hoped to catch your eye. I know I can be weird and a bit lewd, prude and rude at times but I hope you like my videos if you watch them. I really like your videos and I hope you make a new video soon. You seem like a really nice person and I hope we can be friends or at least acquaintances. Please respond if you can.

I am a mushroom...shroom shroom

[danimari1018]

came here because i saw you in zaks video. subscribed because you talked about math. :)

[SamiSioux]

LOVED THISSSSS



[OrgasmandTea]

Also, can you explain why this always works mathematically? I might jizz...

[OrgasmandTea]

Curious. It also divides by nine, since all numbers that divide by nine add up to nine. What does this mean?

[xxnonyabidnezxx7]

yay math video <3 super happy... its been a while.

[MayGreen91]

Damnit you rock hard =\

[rsfaan91]

Neil for your next video grow some facial hair so you can look more like a lion and it looks sexy ;)

[Nicoblackandblue]

Who wouldn't appreciate you? xD

[tellingthestories]

Maths and Harry Potter! Can a video get better than this?!

[JesseWale]

6174 was the code to Dr.John's computer in The Neil Johnson United Task Force xD LOL

[MrMrDss]

@JesseWale haha! I was just waiting for that comment! now that it's (partially) returning, I hope some of the old episodes return to YouTube! :D It's almost like Neil knew about it... haha :D

[SchlipakTheReal]

@JesseWale Why did I notice you comment just now? Why did I discover the NJUTF just now? WHY? Is there still a way to see this, if it's still up somewhere on the interwebs?

[JesseWale]

@SchlipakTheReal Well, it just sort of disappeared from the face of the earth! I've looked EVERYWHERE for traces of it online, but it appears to be completely gone! It's pretty much impossible to find any traces of it anywhere! :(

[SchlipakTheReal]

@JesseWale Aww, too bad I missed it. It looked quite good according to the LavaWiki... :(

[sarahcupcake12]

Well, you're adorable.

[woof10707]

i tried 1234, i never got 6174 :(

[BananaNeil]

@woof10707

4321-1234 = 3087

8730-0378 = 8352

8532-2358 = 6174

bam

[BananaNeil]

@BananaNeil also, by the way...

b-a-m = bam

and

b-a-r-n = barn

......

barn

bam

they look the same O_O

[MrMidget92]

@BananaNeil Hey I was thinking about this : when are you gonna make a new confession video ? :)

[BananaNeil]

@MrMidget92 tomorrow i think. you can send me one to BananaNeilConfessions at gmail

[MrMidget92]

@BananaNeil Cool thanks ! :)

[0410mushroom]

I just bled out through my nose

[jamio4545]

What kind of camera do you use? :D

[danikaWDWICP]

you are potentially the cutest nerd i have ever seen

[Musicfrom2]

Awww!! ahahah, you hit yourslef in the face when you "RAWR''ed... I think that how you would say it... :P x

[downbythebrooke]

yay harry potter!

[emmfan09]

I think you're the only mathematical person I know!

[xxocupcake1]

just fell in love~ haha

[lemmewatchthevids]

You're adorkable, and I've missed your videos. And props on the harry potter theme song! ^.^

[Poizon2K8]

Damn. I thought I had this thing beat on the 7th calculation. I didn't. Sadface.

My starting number was 4256 (from a random number generator) and I thought I had it beat, but the last calculation got me 6174. Ah well. Serves me right for thinking that I could beat it. You're majoring in mathematics.. I should know better than to underestimate you, Neil.

[PKHaxorz]

Where do you get that instrument?

[SchlipakTheReal]

142857 is also pretty cool: it's not prime, but try to multiply it by 2 to 7. And also 142+857 and 14+28+57. Interesting, right? ;]

[awsinger1]

neil do more confessions soon :D

[Blueaveo3568]

Fond of you not math.

[Puffieey4]

Harry Potter <3

[MrMidget92]

Ah ! You shaved ! :)

[Taunisnotonfire]

Oh god I love you Neil x]

[zachasuras]

I mind was just fucked ~_~

[HashBrownedPotatoes]

Yay! BananaNeil just made my day by responding to my comment!

[JollyPirate]

"I have to drive to Montana in about 5 minutes."

*points to Idaho

...*facepalm

[BananaNeil]

@JollyPirate nooooooo the arrow is totally pointing to montana, the tip is just in idaho.. -_-

[MusicLuna22]

Your videos always make me smile :D

[loboboy5113]

I do like it, meaning him, because he's awsome!=> Happy New Year Neil!

[Alfie729]

I AM, THANK YOU!!!

[slukecooper]

it didnt work when I used 2, 3, 4, and 6 but it did when I used 8, 7, 2, and 1.

[HiImKeith4]

God Damn, wouldn't this guy and Boxxy make the best reality tv show EVER?

[HahnJames]

I think Fibonachi numbers are really cool. I also think the Golden Ratio is awesome especially in the number of places whore it is found. I like ratios that have to do with the human body, too. For instance, the ratio between the length of your foot (assuming you've followed normal growth patterns) and the length of your forearm is 1:1. That is of course, without your shoe on.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

*tried it* OMG! SO weird/cool!

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-OMG that's soo cool! I'm totally trying that.

-Harry Potter! <3

*Hugs*

[silverrcircuit44]

so everything in that besides the harry potter on the melodica went over my head.

[TheCowFreak]

@silverrcircuit44 ...subtraction was too much for you?

[Tommyboypsp]

I just realised it is a sum of pi :P

At least I think it is..

[watermelonsmilezz]

I TOTALLY HAVE A MELODICA TOO!

[M00nGlitz]

I simply love your rawrs!

[WayhoRachel]

I like prime numbers. They make me smile.

[AnimeNight14]

MIND BLOWN!!! XD

[bansribb]

I do appreciate it, and by it, I mean you, because you are awesome. RAWR.

[riotgrrrrl1288]

thanks for the Harry Potter theme :D that instrument is awesome! play more songs with it in your videos!!

[Gvf77x]

I'm not really one for weird instruments, but I think the melodica is pretty damn col.

[Niekpas1]

Isn't the last note of the harry potter theme supposed to be a B, not a Bb (like you played)?

[TotallyTommeh]

awesome

[TheDanc1nghawk]

I like 167, the first, 3 digit prime number, which, when you multiply the digits together, you get 42. #LifeTheUniverseAndEverything

[TheWrockStar]

Maths made me depressed, but Hedwig's Theme cheered me back up! Thanks! :DD

[rschuerer]

Yeah finally a new math video! I must admit I never heard from this number before and of course I had to try it immediately.

[WhouuuuuOKAY]

Maths are scary...

[countryroo123]

I love this!!! That was great!

[88forlive]

do you still have the P.O. box?

[Cuquiface]

@88forlive I think he and MorganPaigeLoves shares a PO Box. I might be wrong though, lol.But anyway, MorganPaigeLoves posts her PO Box information in most her videos, I think.

[wordnerd1231]

I..... I don't speak math. Ewww numbers!!!!

;)

[giggshenrik]

I only see swastika's on the wall :o

[angelika91100]

I didn't understand anything... but YOU are pretty frikin awesome!!!! <3

[lasanta2]

hey Neil, I must say that you are my favourite U-Tuber...no matter what I am always entertained by you and your videos. Thankyou for that and also may I wish you the very best for 2012. Kind regards..Peter (UK)

[hanzabarrxx]

That number puzzle reminds me of this mind game I learned,

-Think of a Country beginning with D,

-Take the Letter from the end of that word and Think of an animal beginning with that letter,

Then take that end letter and think of a fruit beginning with that end letter, Are you thinking of an Orange?

[DoNotFuckYourself]

miaw :3

[sevenout]

reminds me of this one:

pick a number [positive integer], add the next integer lager, add 9, divide by 2, subtract your original number...

you're left with 5

(here's the secret)

Pick a number: n

add the next number larger: 2n+1

add 9: 2n+10

divide by 2: n+5

subtract your original number: 5

[sevenout]

:O that's freaky

[xoNELYxo]

Omg Neil, you're such a nerd <3 I love you (: and did a little vein in your eye pop or something? you have like a strange red dot in your eye o:

[Ahatfromperu]

@xoNELYxo No, that was a sniper's laser.

[travocity94]

Genius idea, Hedwig's theme duet with a melodica and ukulele

[PinkPearledGirl]

There is another math game I like called "Four is the magic number"...It goes like this

Six is Three

Three is Five

Five is Four

Four is the magic number...Can anyone figure it out? :D

[PinkPearledGirl]

@travocity94

Because "Four" has 4 letters, so it is "Four" again...

[travocity94]

@PinkPearledGirl yes I know that :p I was giving them a hint

[kjth2003]

@PinkPearledGirl The number of letters in the word. four have 4 letters.

[RossLikesYourFace]

Why do I turn into a 13 year old girl every time I see you Neil? I think I have one of those YouTube crushes. Thats a things thats happening... I'm A Lion too. :( BYE!

[larie2]

Is it me or is the arrow pointing to Idaho? haha

[BananaNeil]

@larie2 loook where the arrow is pointing, not where the tip is.... -_-

[r0seonyourcoffin]

I love every time you do super mathy videos, they make me so happy! The first video I ever saw of yours was your FTOC video, and that's when I fell in love. <3

[cjay2]

Just re-watched your FTOC vid. Where were you when I was your age?

<3 <3 <3 !!!

[CloudXRain1]

learn something new everyday -blinks-

[Madichamp]

Be safe on your trip to Montana! Im praying for you! Btw- HARRY POTTAH!!! :)

[cjay2]

Getting more and more fascinated with the maze behind you!

[HotMissa]

Love my LION.  Drive safely to Montana. Happy New Year.

Hugs

[RNC92300]

dude looks toasted

[tomthecat94]

Pretty freakin' awesome!

But… Neil… your eyes are really, really red… you look like you're about to doze off right there in front of the camera… Are you sure you're alright, dear?

[theejbugg]

This may be the strangest compliment you have ever heard but you have such a nice voice. I have yet to be let down by your content you produce. You're just all around an awesome person.

[i1am1beast]

Love the Harry Potter/Spaz attack at the end!!! :D

[lostismyconstent]

That is SO COOL!!!

The melodica was pretty sweet too...

[mickeleh]

If what you say is true, you're already in Montana. Or maybe you're on your way back.

[deniselechner]

Another Numberphile.

[MegaKratos234]

jump cut.......jump cut.....and jump cut. -_-

[TouchMeImOnFire]

I got it in 2 steps, does this mean I'm magic? :)

[SuperEggsbenny]

WAIT. does it work IF YOU START WITH 6174??

[zeppelin695]

Idaho???

[ISwishAndFlick]

@zeppelin695 If you follow the arrow a bit farther it is pointing at Montana xD

[zeppelin695]

@ISwishAndFlick Or Canada ;-)

[ISwishAndFlick]

@zeppelin695 Also true!

[BananaNeil]

@zeppelin695 nooooo the arrow is POINTING at montana, that just happens to mean the tip is in idaho

[TheCoryKid]

You should subscribe to numberphile, ya big math nerd. They did a video a little while ago about 6174.

[notnownotsoon]

Math is my least favorite thing in the world... Yet... A certain lion makes me like it a leetle bit more. :'D

[HashBrownedPotatoes]

Good video, but the map pointed to Idaho, not Montana.

[BananaNeil]

@HashBrownedPotatoes -_- the tip is in idaho, but its *pointing* at montana.

[KainChase]

not trying to push you, neil... but I kinda miss the confessions vids. Oh, and you're kinda amazing (:

[LauraSalvatore7x]

stop being so freaking adorable!

[someone332]

Hedwig's Theme!

[EnceladusEnceladusEn]

I felt like I was in a really awkward position when you were playing that instrument so I scrolled down the page because I couldn't deal with it.

Hi.

[Virini]

Not so much into the mathematical, but things'n'stuff = <3

[morethanthesun52]

math + harry potter = best video combination ever!

[manchildtrollhair]

1) MATHEMATICAL

2) i love all the graphics usage in this video and hope it continues in future videos

3) i love mathematical things and stuff

4) multiples of ten are my favourite.

[vinceinburque]

1,497 worked out in 5 steps. who figures this stuff out?

[21jillybeans12]

I feel like Neil and Charlie would get along, they could trade melodica tips!

[blumusdu]

You are so talented.

[saxplaya111]

R u still bi? If so I'm free ;)

[Missradi0]

Do a confession video sooon plz

[jkimisyellow]

Mathematical!

[reinamila]

love the song....

[TheSilverMoon5]

3 steps

[stargleekwhofighter]

Yes Neil. You are so awesome that not only do you have a melodica, but you can play the Harry Potter theme on it. And as a result of your awesomeness, I showed my sister, who is obsessed with Tetris, N-tris today.

[PeteEpal]

I wonder if that's related to the so called "Six degrees of separation" in which everyone is approximately six steps away from any other person on Earth.

[dancerbethany1]

willllllllllllll you be at Tour de Nerdfighteria Seattle?

[Thatlilmunchin]

i love math but you kinda of just made my brain hurt Haha

[dannerzme]

Idaho? lol

Have a fun and safe trip!

[brentbraniff]

Yay Potter theme!!!! So do you owe John Williams for playing his music?

[dannerzme]

@brentbraniff freaking SOPA

[mickeleh]

@brentbraniff Maybe the question should be to we owe John Williams for listening to it?

[GalaxyofStarrs]

Math....? *shivers* *runs away with fear*

I will stick to Linguistics. Thanks =D

<3 Even though Math is my worst nightmare. haha

[orindal350937]

why dont u blink

[Jasminisuberawesome]

That was really awesome

[GeminiSecret]

unfortunately, i'm pretty stupid when it comes to things like this.

[nelliegirl01]
