However, if you watch their video be warned about when the diagonal line crosses the 2° line: their line slopes to the left and moves to the right, whereas my line slopes to the right and moves to the left. This is because the OS is drawing the zero-point for magnetic-vs-grid but I'm doing magnetic-vs-true. Which is a mirror image.
Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters who funded this ridiculous trip to the south coast of the UK to film a silly video. They also bought me two pints of beer and one packet of crisps.

Clarence Lam was the first to spot that the lead n out the front of the series can explain the increasing times without the series itself needing to diverge.

And here is what you came for, the Harvard github with details on how to send me your effects as a CSV file. github.com/GSD6338/XmasTree
In short: each line of the CSV starts with a frame number and then R, G, B values (one 'column' each) for all of the LEDs in sequence. (You can see examples in the Harvard github.) Send them in by 09 January 2022 either directly on the standupmaths GitHub or email to matt+LEDs@standupmaths.com
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters who keep my LED habit alive. You too can help support me: patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS: - Yes, I say "squared" twice instead of "cubed". But I was thinking "cubed". You know I was. - Not actually "within 10%" but actually I was off by 11.8%. Close enough. - Let me know if you spot anything else wrong!

We were on Hurtigruten's ship: the MS Roald Amundsen. It's an amazing ship and perfect for a trip of a lifetime like visiting Antarctica. You can check it out here: standupmaths.com/antarctica (I payed for the trip myself but I do get a referral fee if you book via that link.)
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters who mean I can justify a massive trip like this to make videos. For the record: I didn't use Patreon money to pay for the trip. But it did help me justify making so many videos while I was there. You too can help support me: patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS - None yet, let me know if you spot any mistakes!

Cheers to all of my Patreon supporters who mean I can justify squeezing in one more video while I am technically away. We filmed this days before I left for Antarctica. I'm writing this blurb from the middle of the ocean right now. I mean, there is a ship between me and the water. So we're all good. But yes, as I was saying, thanks to my Patreon supporters! They have not paid for any of this trip, but knowing they are all out there helps me justify so much time spent making videos. You too can help me produce videos from all seven continents: patreon.com/standupmaths

George Washington was voiced by my friend Ben Moor. They are in The Queen's Gambit!
The Voice of Alabama is voiced by The Voice of Alabama. They are in Alabama!
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters who mean I can spend a silly amount of time on a video like this. So much time. So much historical data. You too can help support me: patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS - I didn't bother showing me locking cell references in the animations. Things like "=B4/B2" should have been "=B4/$B$2" so I could drag the formula down. We took that out in the interest of clarity. - Yes, at 13:20 I say "the divisor ceases to lose some of its strict meaning" which is the opposite of what I meant! the sentence needs but the one negative. Either of these would work: "the divisor loses some of its strict meaning" OR "the divisor ceases to have some of its strict meaning". - Sorry, at 16:47 column D is wrong. These are different numbers using 880 but the values over in E use the correct 930. It's just a display issue and does not change the results (despite being a bit confusing!). Spotted by a few people including Thomas Klemm and AverageJon. - People have mentioned that Theorem 2 (and the conclusion) from this 1974 paper by Balinski & Young has an Alabama-paradox-beating method. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.71.11.4602 - Let me know if you spot anything else.

And as you may have noticed, the laser video with Seb is not out yet. I think it's going to trail this one by quite a while.
Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters funded this video. Normally I would just visit a maths museum and have a fun day out. But thanks to you all, I was able to hire a camera person to follow me around. Plus I did a day of prep-work writing code before my visit and a day of generating plots after the visit. That's thanks to Patreon. (Who am I kidding; I would have done the coding and plots anyway.) patreon.com/standupmaths

Thanks to all of my Patreon supporters funded the DSV Unrealistic. You too can help support me and be part of such cutting-edge fictitious research and development. patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS - At 14:13 I say the mass "of the submersible" when I should be talking about the mass of water above the submersible. -At 31:34 I say "grams" instead of "kilograms". Which takes some of the air out of my unit bashing. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!

This video was made possible by my Patreon supporters who this time only had to buy me some wooden blocks Lego. They also helped stress-test the ABC site before the video was released. You can also help support and shape the videos I make! patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS - Yes, the Big Techday was actually two weeks ago. We had unavoidable website issues so this video just had to wait patiently. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!

UPDATE: We have a proof that if a cable goes back and forth under a handle an equal number of times it can always be removed! Thanks to Henry Segerman. (It does assume the cord itself is not knotted.) dropbox.com/s/h8r1wk7qo1wwv71/Plug%20Handle%20Puzzle.pdf?dl=0

Cheers to my Patreon supporters for whom I have dedicated one digit of Gauss's constant each. It was their inspiration who made me do the 'multiple Matts' thing. You can also help support and shape the videos I make! patreon.com/standupmaths
CORRECTIONS - If you feel a sense of déjà vu: yes, the two sections at 16:13 and 16:45 cover the same content. I tried saying it two different ways and we accidentally left both in the edit. So, let's call that 'buy one get one free' sale on learning. - At 21:42 I say "geometric mean" instead of "arithmetic mean". And that is probably not the only time. These words have lost all meaning to me. - The Patreon credits stop early! Long story. I'll explain on Patreon. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes.

Thanks to everyone who made those ridiculous Mathematics He Wrote opening titles possible. The folder was crafted by Lisa Mathers, the SUM theme was one again remixed by Howard Carter and the whole thing was directed by Alex Genn-Bash. I did all my own typing.
If you like word fun, you should check out Word Ways. All the editions are available free online. Here is the one I showed: https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/wordways/vol32/iss4/13/
Thanks to all my Patreon supporters who help make these videos possible. If you can't find your name in the credits, I'll be handing out distances over here: patreon.com/posts/55048738
CORRECTIONS: - Urg, at 05:46 Pythagoras is accidentally spelled as “Pythagorus”. That’s not a joke; legit mistake. I’ve made a real uss of myself. - At 09:57 I say PAPAL averages 13.1cm "per journey" when I should have said "per letter". Consider this my confession. - At 3:40 I say "So the top 4 rows, now including the letters" but I meant “now including the digits". But what are digits if not fancy letters? Spotted by Trimutius. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!
And here are most of the words mentioned in this video:

Me cutting two joined cylinders in half way back in 2015. Good times. (At 29:29.) youtu.be/1wAaI_6b9JE?t=1769
CORRECTIONS: - When talking about the Euler Characteristic of the torus at 16:29 I say the value of zero is "only on our friend the torus" which is technically wrong. In the moment I was just talking about the sphere and the torus but loads of other shapes have an Euler Characteristic of zero. Like the cylinder. - I'm undecided if the string method of thinking about holes at 17:04 was helpful. I could have talked about the dimension of the boundary manifold, but that felt like I was repeating the previous bit too much and wanted a different way to think about it. Not sure if this counts as a 'correction' per se, but I just needed to talk to someone about it. Thanks for listening. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!

More than ever, thank you to my Patreon supporters for making this video possible. It is also their fault that the next SUM-007 will be called "The Spy Who Loved e". They got to vote on ten pun titles and "The Spy Who Loved e" beat second-place "No Time to π" 239 votes to 226. patreon.com/posts/53485855
CORRECTIONS - At 00:33 there is a "33" which should be "53". Mistake first spotted by Andrew Foong but I'm going to claim it's some hidden message about the number 33. - I say k is a "positive integer" a bunch when it should be "non-negative integer" to include zero. Like at 06:30, 08:48 and 14:35 (thanks Martijn Oostrom!). The formal statement on-screen at 17:15 is the official correct version showing that n is positive but k is non-negative. - Robin Houston noticed that the on-screen text at 4:19 says Erdös instead of Erdős. Excuse me while I delete the whole channel. - Let me know if you spot any more mistakes!
As always: thanks to Jane Street who support my channel. They're amazing. janestreet.com
