I was unreasonably happy to see that the blob finally made a shot at the end

[Absolutemenace_]

This is literally our math subject rn. Thanks man.

[dragonfriend]

I personally miss the evolution/economic vids. I'll still watch these, but those are what brought me to the channel.

[angelus]

Primer is the only educational YouTuber I watch cause he makes it fun

[LeastInsaneUtsu-PFan]

No matter the subject, I’ll watch these all the way through, even if I won’t learn it for years.

[RickachuCXVI]

I just love the presentation and explanations in these videos so much, it makes the entire lesson so much more engaging

[alexanderwolf]

By now I've done 4 semesters of statistics classes but none of my professors was able to explain this concept as easily understandable as this video.

[Lionbug]

The encouragements to pause and think through things are _vital_ to get people to actually _understand_ and not just watch the video and forget immediately.
Very well done all around!

[ChrisPhelior]

Chance of your team's Yasuo actually being good: infinitesimal

Great video as always

[huhneat]

Can black blob with sunglasses become a recurring character? I think his character arc involving missing all the shots was very interesting

[navetal]

4:28 I love the enthusiasm of the blob on the left who keeps on trying to score.

[APaleDot]

This isn't over-explained at all. This is the kind of explanation I've been looking for for so long!

[jamiedytham]

The only educational channel I'll watch when I already understand the subject

[pnku]

"your team's yasuo actually being good" is a reference i didn't expect at all, love your videos, was super excited to see this video in my sub box <3

[frootjupes]

I wish I'd had this when covering counting problems! Your explanations and visuals are so much easier to comprehend than the lectures I read.

[Zmit]

Oh how I have missed the blobs engaging in simulations. So nice to see a new video.
As always a pure delight to be able to learn and be entertained at the same time. All education should be this way.

[Misstborn]

As someone who just took stat, this was a really nice reminder of the logic behind everything and made me actually think about math for the first time in a few weeks. Fantastic video!

[DuchessEvie]

The blob at the end is just footage of me trying to play basketball

[_chishika_]

one day in the future, this is gonna be played in a classroom for a maths class, and your gonna make a lot of people laugh and understand this a much better and get their foot into the doors of stats and further stats. amazing vid

[kelkin]

15:12 I cheered so loud congrats buddy you did it
