"Alright Diabetes" is my favorite unreleased Radiohead album.

[Jiggerjaw]

Hannah is in everyone's top right triangle. She's out of everyone's league.

[CALEBMAESTRO]

Hannah Fry explains her take on the Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix.

I have long held a related theory about why sequels are never as good as the original. It's basically a regression to the mean.

First assume that films are usually of about average quality. When a film is significantly above average quality, a sequel will be commissioned. The sequel is a film, so will usually be of about average quality. Therefore the sequel will be worse than the original. If studios took the unorthodox approach of only commissioning sequels of terrible films, then the sequels (which will usually be of about average quality), will usually be better than the original.

Yeah, you're gonna need to make that top right triangle a bit bigger.

10:20: I dont trust linear regressions when its harder to guess the direction of he correlation from the scatter plot than to find new constellations on it

[MegaTp]

The title should have been: "Bad diabetics have good toenails"

New Hannah Fry video, New 1 Million views video for numberfiles: No correlation.

Hannah: Go with me on this for a second.

Me: I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor 🤗

8:20 "Scores on GoodReads tend to be quiet good."
You can bet they are. They gave 4.34 to the Twilight saga.
I mean, not that it is the worst book ever, but c'mon.

6:18 Hannah chilling out by herself in the top right :)

[RichardEricCollins]

I only read technical manuals and no one has made a film of these. :( "Harry Potter and the 1980 - 1986 Mk3 Escort Repair

[LegHumanist]

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest the Martian movie was better than the book. I have only ever heard the opposite and I agree with that assessment. The book is absolutely hilarious.

[fanq_]

the Eragon movie hasn't even happened tho, doesn't exist, nope, nope

[wanlida.]

I love having Hannah Fry! She always teaches things that I enjoy learning about! Please have her do more Numberphile!

[grivar]

0:23 Ah yes, the world-famous Lorem Ipsum spell.

[jon]

Well... I like the Count of Monte Cristo movie... :(

[BobStein]

Goodness of book vs. movie may also be correlated with *whichever you saw first.* What you do becomes a part of what you are.

Just to be a pedant on something only tangentially relevant to the video.. Metacritic isn't a posher version of Rotten Tomatoes, they measure different things. RT gives the percentage of critics that gave a film a positive review, metacritic gives a mean score based on the rating the critics gave. ie, 90 on MC means critics on average thought the film was incredible, whereas 90% on RT means most critics though the film was at least okay.
This isn't related at all, people misusing rotten tomatoes is just a pet peeve of mine! Interesting video otherwise!

i am happy to see hanna again in these vids!
