NUMBERPHILE

Q: How do you cheat on a test?

A: *learn it*

[irecycleoxygen]

i thought he was joking about memorizing the whole table. And then he wasn't joking. And I was filled with fear of the man.

[NobleNobbler]

2+2+2 = 6 and I'm prepared to accept that as given.

[leo]

2:00 "Oh, I've done 2 pluses there, that is a mega plus, oh my goodness, that's pretty plus"

[roaddawn]

Lol "Keep your cheat notes in your head and no one knows you're cheating." "Also known as learning." "Shhhh."

[lhhxxfe]

"Is there a rigorous proof?"

Nah he just tried a BRAZILIAN times

[mr_snowy]

So has he always considered memorising as cheating?
Teacher: Parker you got an A+ in your maths exam.
Matt: Thanks, I cheated.

[prathampatel]

Teacher : You can’t bring any cheat notes in the exams
Student : but you can memorise the cheat notes

I can’t imagine ever being this bored.

[pongopea]

i still can’t believe you took a month to learn the tables just to prove a point

"If you wanna cheat, it's really quite straightforward. You put aside a month or two just to memorize this, and you can cheat with this inside your brain. That's the great thing about the human brain: you can cheat by memorizing your cheat notes, and then you can look at them without anyone being able to tell. It's a real loophole in life--you can cheat by memorizing." -Parker 2k17

[JTKatz]

Boss: where are those reports?
Me: *still not available*

[AbandonedMines]

This was a very interesting video. I find obscure stuff like this to be very enlightening and entertaining. Thanks also for providing the links to the PDF downloads of Taneja’s formulas. Very cool.
