The irony of the Anti-Parker Square is that because it’s a wrong answer (but you still gave it a go), it is by definition, still a classic example of a Parker Square.

[gakulon]

I absolutely adore how enduring the legacy of the Parker Square has been

Rumor has it that if you take a Parker square and collide it with an Anti-Parker Square at high velocity, they annihilate and emit a photon.

We got Parker square

Can't wait to see standard model of squares

Don't tempt matt. He will reprint his books with "my formerly-friend Ayliean"

[mdkc]

Ayliean is trying so hard not to have this named a "McDonald Square".

I am here to call that out.

Again is almost right, so it all comes to a full Parker cicle.

Another unsolved problem in recreational math is finding something Euler didn't already do.

The perfect cuboid problem and the magic square of squares are not equivalent but there is a relationship between them. They both require rational points on a congruence number elliptic curve with special properties. In the case of the magic square of squares the requirement is three rational points in arithmetic progression. On the other hand, the perfect cuboid requires three rational points in geometric progression.

*proceeds to start a beef with Matt*

[JMUDoc]

Just when I began to think that Matt Parker had suffered enough.

[Viniter]

I don't think it's a pointless exercise proving two unsolvable problems are identical. It's essentially equivalent of solving one of them!

4:46 I love how Ayliean missed that in this particular square (as well as in all others with a multiple of 25 as a base) it's not only the diagonals that work, but also the left column. Because to get to this square's magic number of 1875, the left column is missing 361, which happens to be 19^2.

[Dabbleatory]

To be anti-Parker, wouldn't it have to be correct?

[guifig]

8:16 oh my god that freehand right triangle is absurd.

[Becky_Cooling]

'Stop trying to make the Parker Square a thing!' cried Matt in vain

Hey, I love your videos, but I've noticed that you have auto title translations enabled. This is a feature that you can disable for your viewers via your creator settings.
Having your video titles being automatically translated (with whatever AI YouTube is using) results in terrible titles for your international audience. For me, a German native speaker, the title of this video is: “Der Anti-Parker-Platz”, which means “The Anti Parker Spot” or “The Anti Parking Spot”, losing the context of the “Parker Square”. Best regards ^^

It's amazing to see how far just a single bit can evolve
