What are the nicknames you give your picker for 200.
I'm 25, I have a son.
My sense of humor is still juvenile, SUE ME.

Pleas excuse my ignorance, but what is the point of this? Like what does this help or prove? Can this be used to solve something specific?
@NXTangl Says:
So Terrancd Tao is actively avoiding the Impossible Euler Problem, I see...
(The Impossible Euler Problem (name pending) is the problem that Euler discovered too many things and we can't name them all after him.)

The impossible problem was how to quit Subway and get another job in this economy.
@Photosounder Says:
It's another case of a problem where you don't really need a proof to know what's the answer and it's not interesting anyway but the proof is hard to find so that makes it "interesting". 🙄

24:43 yes, 14/21, or two thirds, what's so special about it?
24:46 oh ffs...

What an insane clickbait title. Due has a PhD and works as a lecturer in a University. He's not some random dude making sandwiches at Subway.

Thank you so much dear doctor.
🙏🙏🙏
Hoping for more videos.

It's going to go all the way down until we realize the answer to life is Pi or the Golden Ratio.

I was planning on watching anyways but 'The Man Who Worked at Subway, Then Solved an "Impossible" Problem' is a terrible, terrible, title. Yikes.

dude, I had this figured out years ago -- but the NSA confiscated my work and I had to sign an NDA

Very esoteric. You lost me at two-thirds of the video. I might find the energy to watch it all another time

I hope you see my comment, and I hope everyone who sees it will also share it. As an Arab interested in physics, and especially in the other inspiring things featured on this channel, I sincerely hope you will see my comment. I'm simply asking for the Arabic dubbing feature to be restored, as it was previously. It's valuable and inspiring content for me and other Arabs who lack the language skills. I truly hope the previous dubbing system returns; I loved it and was addicted to it. 🙏🏽❤️🩹😊❤

Missed some math nuances, but story is brilliant. Great video! Thanks!

why do we even care about primes, honest question. Where do we need them?

@ScuzzySera Says:
21:00 so he didn't solve it whilst working at subway? He just happened to work at subway for a period of his life?
@frankiebortolussi7628 Says:
You can see some changes after the channel acquisition happened a couple of years ago. The maths part and "let's derive the formulas" has been cut down significantly, with a loss for the original direction of the channel. I hope you can get back to your roots of maths-centred story-telling

I was expecting to hear about a guy making sandwiches at Subway discovering secrets of mathematics in the holes of Swiss cheese slices or the numbers of olives in a slice of olive loaf. What you delivered was less dramatic but more believable, with a happier than usual ending to a common story. I'm delighted for Dr. Zhang. I'm also surprised to have found a 40-minute video about the twin prime conjecture so absorbing. It's not that I don't have high expectations of Veritasium videos, but that I've never had a visceral love for number theory. I think it was Zhang's story that got me. From the time he first appeared, I was rooting for him to win a Fields Medal, but perhaps he was too old. I was pleased by the MacArthur grant. And to have his epiphany while wandering around in the night looking for deer! When I wander around my home in Colorado at night, my imagination is too caught up in the odds of being mauled by a bear or being killed by a mountain lion to let me think clearly about my research. Not only did Zhang have the advantage of not knowing the problem he was working on was impossible, but of not knowing that the wildlife of the Colorado mountains is more likely to bite your face off than the wildlife of New Hampshire.

I had him for number theory at UCSB 😎
@kdhlkjhdlk Says:
Actually with large enough numbers, the chance of two nearby numbers being prime becomes almost independent. None of the numbers that would factor X-1 would factor X+1.
@MrSchattka Says:
Another brilliant and though provoking video. Thanks for posting.
39 -> 40 an arithmetic progression of 4 (28:19) ?
@dw1954 Says:
I remember watching Veritasium since high school. The topics back then were indeed hard but some of these recent topics are too high brow and I get intimidated just to watch these cuz i don’t understand a thing anymore. Am I the only one or recent topics are crazy hard to understand? I still love the cutting-edge content… I just wish I had the brain power to savor them.
@Yupppi Says:
I how deeply bored I am every time I hear "prime number". It has to be one of the dullest parts of math but it seems to fascinate nerds the most.

He was an accountant at Subway. That’s not a “worker”, it’s a management role.
“While working at his friend’s Subway franchise—often keeping the books and occasionally making sandwiches…”

Your vids are so fun 🎉
@GrahamPlaysMC Says:
Shout out Alex Kontorovich, I never had him as a professor, but as a Rutgers alum I love whenever Veritasium has any Rutgers educators on
@EradicateTheCommies Says:
These videos are getting more production value, more specialized people working on them yet they are getting more and more boring and uninteresting.

@towardsthefuture7040 Says:
Okay when you started showing the waves I was certain it'd be done in modular with some weird application of the Chinese Remainder Theorem or something. Didn't think the sieve would be that useful.
