It's always nice to see my distant cousins making great video's!

My Uncle was very proud of the the fact that he was 8, 527 in line to be the King of England, if people died in a specific order. He got depressed when someone died in the wrong order and he went up to well over 12, 000 in line. He said he now had no real chance.

The way this man pronounces sloth is so unimaginably British I started crying tea

I love that it's in James' nature to draw the whole thing out, I feel like someone like Matt Parker would program something in python and animate it.

Who cares about being royal? A ton of us are related to James Grime.

I asked this question on Stack Exchange a few months ago, and nobody had the answer. Numberphile with the win! Thank you!

Everytime a baby is born James rolls his dice.

I moved to Australia 8 years ago and I though I was the only person in my family over here. I got a job as a cook in a small town and was talking to the sous chef. My family lived in England for 3 generations and before that my ancestry is wales. Well it turns out my sous chefs ancestry was also welsh about 4 years ago and they lived in the next town over from my ancestors (literally just 2-3km away) so we’re most likely related within 6 generations

[truthteller]

So 7000 years ago, they are all my ancestors. But presumably, some of them (the ones that look like more like me) are my ancestors several hundred times over whereas some of them are my ancestor only once.
