This is a video to a math song by Tom Lehrer called "New Math".
New Math is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math

note: I got inspiration for some of the parts from another video using this song made by Nick Barnes.

My math teacher played this for us in the class today.. And he wanted us to memorise all of it. D:

@JobzSuckz Awesome, but memorizing this would be useless, but fun i guess. Another version of this was played during my programming class (forget why) and that inspired me to create a better one. And this is the result.

[982alexander]

i dint know there was a ''base 8''...

[DDDGamer]

@982alexander yep, you can do arithmetic in any base, the most common however are base 10 (our decimal system) and base 2 (binary, used by computers to represent the "on" and "off" states)

[DDDGamer]

@Muttyfut Yep that's where the vid picks up.

[JoyGrenade]

This broke my brain.

at 2:38 the picture of the hands is not missing thumbs

[Bibledigger322]

Why did anyone even attempt New Math?

[TheMooseofBattle]

This video, and my math teachers of course, have helped me understand how to do math with different bases. It's really simple when you begin to touch upon the concept.

@DDDGamer

Whoops,

I was trying to memorise the song (I'm a massive nerd) and I just needed to skip to the actual song.

Thanks for putting the first bit there though, it's rather amusing.

[Gyroglle]

@JoyGrenade If so, you are very stupid indeed.

[TheFireMiner]

would be harder in base 16...

[Brainiac12000]

I've memorised this!
