Featured are the Morrisons Desktop Calculator, WHSmith Scientific Calculator and Canon AS-120 Arc Design.

NUMBERPHILE

Videos by Brady Haran

The Cannon Arc Design looks inaccurate, but it is actually really precise; when multiplying the square root of 2 by itself, any good calculator will say it's 2, but in race mode, this calculator has taken the values as velocities and, considering special relativity, it has given us an even more precise result!

always use the protective cover when doing hardcore math, you don't want to catch a calculus transmitted disease

[borjangagovski]

Am I only one who thinks that this was a lot funnier than a lot of TV comedy shows?

[mattmarlborough]

the sarcasm radiates from this video, coincidentally powering my calculator.

"and should you be using this to do calculations in an RV, lets say you're making meth"

"In addition to the normal zero, you've got the double zero. That's for when things are zero. I mean this ones pretty zero, this ones absolute zero" lmaaaooo

[karffiol]

are there any calculators designed specifically for "in a bin" use? also if I use a regular calculator in a bin, does it void the warranty? thank you

[IVANDX]

I like how the first calculator has the same accuracy as the third, but still got a much lower mark xD

[TehJayden]

I've always found unboxing videos completely pointless and stupid. I love this satirical take on it.

[iPelaaja]

This is so funny. "It tells you not to put it in th bin - because its difficult to use it in the bin" this video is full of great jokes, and definetly I'll add to my favourites!

[Saki]

How can you open these mint condition relics without gloves on??!?!

[sheet-son]

I have a great appreciation for witty British sarcasm.

[habdochkeineahnung]

"splashsafety in case youre calculating in the shower or the swimmingpool"... i just love you guys...

[bibekgautam]

Should this be a post-nuclear winter, you can continue calculating solely on the battery. Where do you get that from Matt? Absolutely loving your humor.

[legits]

"12! 12 digits - that's amazing! i'm surprised they don't write that right across the to- oh they do, there it is..." this is honestly the funniest math video (11:17 )

[lic]

RV mode is clearly intended for Heisenberg.

[bluephreakr]

I first saw this as, "Oh Numberphile had nothing to do so they made a joke video", but after seeing it... I still think the same way, _but_ I was pleasantly entertained.

[LandonBrock]

"...it has put it into racing mode though." Hilarious

[cinilaknedalm]

There's too many funny things said to quote

[Bobstew]

"..which is an average score of four point one six reoccurring." :D
