FOUR SPELLS THE ALPHABET (soundboard video)

Press keys to make Four from BFB spell out anything in the English alphabet! (It's easiest on a desktop browser.)

For 2-key letters, press the first key THEN the second key, as fast as you can.
For example, press "2+J" then "2" then "0+L" then "3" to say "BFDI".

Curious about the technical details? Here's a bit of me rambling!
So, this video is 75 seconds long. That means each tenth of the video is 7.5 seconds, which is, interestingly, not an integer. That means pressing '1' lands you on 0:07.5, '2' lands you on 0:15.0, '3' lands you on 0:22.5, and so on. That's a bit annoying: some event's timestamps ARE NOT INTEGERS! Very annoying.

Why did I choose this? Well, I wanted most of the events to happen equally distantly. (This makes it more pleasant to watch passively.) Also, pressing 'J' and 'L' always move you forward or backward 10 seconds (that is non-negotiable). Realizing this, the distance between two audio clips would have to be a divisor of 10. (e.g., 1, 2, 2.5, 3.33..., 5, 10.) Spacing them out every 2 seconds would have worked, but it felt too fast (you barely have any time before the next letter starts playing.) 5 seconds felt too slow (the video becomes 2:30 long.)

3.3333 seconds also sounds like it might work at first, but it doesn't. That's because, if the 10x3=30 events are each 3.333 seconds apart, that would be a 100-second-video. With 100 seconds, pressing a number key OR pressing 'J' or 'L' move you exactly by 10-second intervals. Meaning, you'd never get to escape from the 0,10,20,30 sequence and hit times like 3.333, 6.666, etc.

Also, you may wonder: Why are there a few instances of "next letter paused for mathematical reasons"? Well, there is no way to jump to 2.5 seconds with any combination of a number key (multiple of 7.5) and letter key (multiple of 10). I could go deeper into the math of why this is, but the simple answer is that it's because you can't go past the boundaries of the video (before the start or after the end).

[byehisighhawaii]

ah yes, my favorite letter, "next letter paused for mathematical reasons"

[Amethystal._Crystal-yay]

My fav letter is "next letter paused for mathematical reasons", "progress paused for mathematical reasons" and &

"NEXT LETTER PAUSED FOR MATHEMATICAL REASONS" 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fun Fact: & (Ampersand) was at one point the 27th letter of the alphabet.

This is an excerpt from Wikipedia.

“Traditionally in English, when spelling aloud, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and, "O") was prefixed with the Latin expression per se ('by itself'), as in "per se A".[3][4][5] It was also common practice to add the & sign at the end of the alphabet as if it were the 27th letter, pronounced as the Latin et or later in English as and. As a result, the recitation of the alphabet would end in "X, Y, Z, and per se and".[citation needed] This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand" and the term had entered common English usage by 1837.[4][6][7]”

Four holding X looks adorable for some reason

wasn't expecting an advanced soundboard video with Four. anyways the pictures and the way he says the letters was funny lol

Thank for using this (also some are wrong tell me if is something is wrong :])

Four takes advantage of Cary's extensive time travelling knowledge to spread the building blocks of english

[stephfassel]

I love how in this one, not only is there the normal number keys, but that there's also the clever use of the L and J keys (which alllow you to warp 10 seconds fowards and backwards (respectively) in the video)

[thatliquidthing]

First — I appreciate, as a hyperlexic, the inclusion of the 27th letter, Ampersand. Also, the illustrations make this all the more worthwhile.

[Amphibilaterz]

0:10 is literally nobody gonna talk about how four got *f r e a k y* with donut when he said D and put it inside his hole-?? 😨

[DJruslanic]

Ah, yes, "next letter paused for mathematical reasons", my favourite letter! So many cool and useful words start with it!

[Dale_peo]

0:02 Next letter paused for mathematical reasons
1:05 Next letter paused for mathematical reasons
1:13 Progress Paused for Mathematical reasons

[therainbowblazer]

Four doing the take the L dance will forever be stuck in my mind.

[Zoquelop]

"next letter paused for mathematical reasons" goes HARD 🗣️🔥🔥

[emmerald]

I love how you used the soundboard system and the time travel tecnique to make all 26 letters and the ampersand, its just amazing, good job!

[endstoneninja]

0:32 they’re doing the “Take The L” dance XD

[davidgalvan]

Woah! Four is teaching us beyond numbers and exponents. Four is teaching us letters!

[Applemind]

Thank you mx. Integer, you are the best teacher ever, I finally learned my abcs thanks to you!!!
