newton and other mathematicians in the afterlife finding out that their methods for approximating pi are being used to find among us crewmate pixel art

matt parker's transformation from "mathematician" into "maths-based shitposter" happened so slowly yet so obviously

I'm completely sure that Matt will be the first VTuber that uses prime numbers instead of an avatar

what's ironic about the plural "amongi" is that if you were to expand it to "among i", the "I" is singular, whereas the "us" in the singular "amongus" is plural

I thought the way they hid amongi was really cool and clever. Not taking others' turf over, not vandalizing everything with mismatched colors or huge designs - just hanging out in the details, often only a shade or two off the predominant color around it. Cool stuff.

And then, you know, a bunch of them just riding around in the Swedish community's Volvo. :D

The fact that if we found the among us in 2019 it would mean nothing to us, it would just be more random, but now we are going in manhunts to find the sacred amongi. I must say, I love it.

I certainly wasn't expecting "steamed hams but the frames are sections of prime numbers", but I'm very glad to have experienced it!

never thought i'd hear anyone call the among us crewmates "amongi", was least expecting it to be said by a mathematician. but then this video popped up in my recommended! thank you matt.

I hope there will be a follow-up video about tiling with the Amongi patterns (both 4x4 and 4x5 work). Lots of interesting maths in there and it should be possible to write a program that converts any image into something consisting entirely of Amongi.

For every "Among I" you pointed out, three others were hiding in plain sight ^^

Amongi just entered my lexicon and I hate it. Thank you.

This proves that Math and Amongus go hand in hand since the beginning of time itself.

I absolutely love the image of a full grown adult going up to Matt Parker in public and going HEY YOU'RE MATT. THAT'S KINDA LIKE MATHS. OHMYGOD, _YOU_ DO MATHS! and he's like Pretty crazy stuff" as he sprints away away to find pi in the rings of an oak tree somewhere.

I'm genuinely enjoying how over time you've become more and more open about your love of making sh*tposts

YES!!! As I wrote one of the first posts inviting everyone on r/math to make the Hilbert Curve, I SPECIFICALLY had it in mind that perhaps Matt Parker would notice and mention it in a video. This was one of the driving forces behind my nonstop commitment to helping create and maintain that Hilbert Curve :D

Oh, now you've just GOT to rickroll someone with primes.

I know that the normality of Pi hasn’t been proven, but assuming it is normal, then somewhere in the digits of Pi is this entire video. I don’t think the surprise was finding the Amongi, but rather, finding them so quickly. I don’t know enough probability to compute it, but would be curious to know if the first Amongus showed up *sooner* than *expected* or if it was right about where one would expect to find any arbitrary string of that length.

2:47 missed the perfect opportunity to say "hiding amongi among us"

I appreciate Matt's efforts to appeal to the kids. It's charming in a way.

Ireland and Iceland are 1 hamming distance away from each other, which means that 1 hamming distance is approximately equal to 1.4k kilometers.
