@@MrCubFan415 it's actually about how people don't know how the math for making snowflakes work: it's not 2x2x2 it's 1x2x2 because you start with one side, then you fold to two, then four
she wasn't complaining about math.. she was complaining about the way that people argue and claim to be authorities on subjects they don't know enough about
Adenzel The hexaflexaflakes are really cool, but clearly Vi has recently had one of those days (weeks? months? lifetimes?) on the internet where she argued with wrong people on the internet and they were not convinced, despite reality being on Vi's side.
James C I feel like she might have more time and energy to make pretty, happy explanatory things if the internet was a little less toxic. But who knows?
WARNING: Overuse of hexaflexagons may result in addition. Seriously I know this from experience. I’ve now made a full recovery thanks to my local hexaflexagon support group, but sometimes I still find it hard to overcome it.
Ambiguity of a question + poor communication in reply = internet argument. If we fold a square in half, there are 2 halves. Fold again, 4 halves. Fold again, 8 halves. Punch a hole through that 3x-halved triangle, open, and your flake will have 8 holes. If your 3x-halved triangle is snipped at its 90° corner, it will give four shapes when unfolded. Same with _one_ of the acute corners. But snipping the acute corner which has the last fold will produce 1 hole in the center of the flake. So 8,4,3,2, or 1 are all correct answers, from certain perspectives. We have to first clearly state our question, and then agree on precise definitions for our terms- at least before we can have any sort of sensible argument. If the argument is whether or not this flake has 4-fold radial symmetry, it would be useful to first remind 8-advocates that the term, _symmetry,_ already implies two halves; thus, 8 things, but 4 reflections. 3 folds, 1 hole, and there are only ever 2 halves to anything (3 halves are 1.5 things; not singular). Let's not think about rotational translations at the moment ;) Great vid.
Pickled Thyme I believe there is a fine line between misspelling and a typo. As the only spelling error is a c where the x belongs and x is the neighbor to c, I would argue that this case is the latter.
Vi, I just wanted to tell you that I am going to be teaching a class of 4th graders on my own time about Hexaflexagons and how math is not curriculum math but that it is, as you always say, making up rules with numbers and seeing what happens. You are a huge inspiration and just thought you may want to know.
Dixo Yep. Watch everything after 3:31 again. She's clearly talking about people who believe a certain thing about the world and apply that thinking to the rest of the world without ever checking for facts and refusing to listen to the people with actual experience. The kind of people who double down on their assertions as soon as they get suspicions that they might be wrong because they can't handle being wrong. At that point getting the other person to stop arguing becomes more important than actually winning the argument through factual evidence. The fact that she used snowflakes to make that point is just genius, since "snowflake" is something right wing fanatics often times call people who oppose their views, while simultaniously engaging in this exact type of behaviour.
Am I the only one who is slightly annoyed by this tho? Not that I'm not aware of vihart having made political video, but the fact that she spent like a whole section to indirectly talking about political debates, it just feels a bit off to me.
The thing with the 2x2x2 folds thing is that you do get 8 symmetric sections, but they only meet on 4 lines of each type (you technically get 8 meetings, like with your first one the loops and the points). We see it as 4 because we see the individual half shapes as whole shapes. If you punched a design in each of these sections, you'd see it easier... and it'd be helpful to have them centered and symmetric (as adjacent ones are mirrored)... which is easy to do by folding it in half again.
When you fold a paper in half, it makes one-fold symmetry because it's clearly one fold! But if you think about it radially (as at least I often do when making snowflakes), there are two rays of symmetry. Anybody else with me on that?
Why is it that your snowflakes are so beautifuly curly and spikey while mine are just a mess of a massive amount of hearts triangles and diamond... or are they sideways squares?! Hmmmmm.....
Yup! The biggest direct link is the line about "forum for baloney snowflake truthers". There is an actual forum for Flat Earthers, and conspiracy theorists in general are called "[topic of theory] truthers". Trying to sum up (what I think is) the message Vi is sending in this video in a few words is hard, but I think the main point is that it's *always* important to be open to discussion that counters your own belief (so long as the other person remains respectful to you, too).
TheFischin I wonder how long a pancake would tolerate being hexaflexed? Probably not very long. Gonna need an extra rubbery pancake to start with. Wait, she did tortillas for a little while once . . . ooh hexaflexapancakes with marmalade on one surface, maple syrup on another, and . . . uh . . . bacon stuck to the third? Of course you could just try for hexaflexabacon. Sadly you would have to do it with limp bacon, not the crunchy nearly scorched kind that I like. Oh, hexaflexafondant cake decorations. Maybe? Oh help I think I'm sleep deprived.
Saying 2x2x2=8 proves that 3 half folds makes 8 lines of symmetry is as logical as saying 2+2+2=6 so 3 half folds gives us 6 lines of symmetry. Both are equally wrong while both can be considered right by any fool. Think about it this way: if you fold a peice of paper in half Once it has one fold of symetry despite having 2 symetrical sections Fold it in half Twice and it has 2 folds of symmetry despite having 4 symetrical sections Fold it in half Three times and it has 4 fold of symetry despite having 8 symetrical sections So yes, 2x2x2 (or shall we say 2 to the 3rd power) is 8 but the fold of symmetry are actually 2 to the (n-1) power where "n" is replaced by the number of folds because 3 folds does not give you 2 to the 3rd power of symetry - it gives you 2 to the 2nd power lines of symmetry. Similarily 4 folds gives you 2 to the 3rd and 5 fold gives you 2 to the 4th.
Thanks! IMO n-sector symmetry is more intuitive than n-fold rotational symmetry, and i was SO confused of why the dilemma was. The people in my replies were no help (too complicated) but you captured the essence perfectly.
it also depends on the symmetry of your cuts, if you make symmetric cuts along each edge it can have 8 fold symmetry after a total of 3 folds starting from 1. Each cut you make to an edge affects 2 adjacent edges. So any fold symmetry is lost to only if edges from the centre are unevenly cut, in which case you get the 2same 2 different pattern cutting your symmetries in half = 4 fold snowflake.
Hahahahaha, I stumbled upon your videos about five years ago and I have to say that they always bring me joy and fascination. Thank you for being you. I appreciate the content you make immensely.
Leo Hoerauf huh. I try typing in balogna and it's not in this thing's dictionary... I was pretty sure that was how it was spelt, but when I saw "baloney" on here I just assumed this was right and that I was dumb xD
Since 2 years ago I started making hexaflexagons as christmis-cards and -messages. But ohhhh my goshhhhh! This is amazing! The possibilities! Thank you! Have a great bunch of holidays!
Guys, if you make these, turn them back into a strip and coat them in clear packing tape. Then put them back together. They'll be sturdier and easier to flex that way.
Makes a very sturdy 'windowed' version if taped/laminated AFTER cutting (which I think is what you are talking about), or you can tape/laminate BEFORE cutting to have sturdier but completely open patterns (or maybe just for a bit of shine). I'd like to see a flake (flexy or otherwise) made out of a transparent sheet. One step more realistic.
I liked how engaged this video kept me even though I lost track of what was happening a couple of minutes into the video. I was confused around the time we got to the hexaflexaflake where it just kept folding and folding. Your video has inspired me to attempt to find out what just happened with the hexaflexaflake.
A 2x2x2 snowflake does have 8 symmetries, just 4 of those symmetries are rotational and the other 4 are reflectional. A rhombus symmetry group can be formed by folding twice and cutting. It has 180 and 360 rotational symmetry and 2 axis of reflectional symmetry.
In the video, "four fold symmetry" was used, key word there being fold. I'm not an expert on this topic at all, but does "fold" mean only reflectional symmetry applies, or does the rotational symmetry apply too?
I remember finding the original video in middle school, came back because of the flex mex video getting stuck in my head and I'm very delighted to see that you've updated the series!!!!!!

Scienceing your math. I will use that as a quote. And vice versa. Mathing your science.
Saying 2x2x2=8 proves that 3 half folds makes 8 lines of symmetry is as logical as saying 2+2+2=6 so 3 half folds gives us 6 lines of symmetry. Both are equally wrong while both can be considered right by any fool.
Think about it this way: if you fold a peice of paper in half Once it has one fold of symetry despite having 2 symetrical sections
Fold it in half Twice and it has 2 folds of symmetry despite having 4 symetrical sections
Fold it in half Three times and it has 4 fold of symetry despite having 8 symetrical sections
So yes, 2x2x2 (or shall we say 2 to the 3rd power) is 8 but the fold of symmetry are actually 2 to the (n-1) power where "n" is replaced by the number of folds because 3 folds does not give you 2 to the 3rd power of symetry - it gives you 2 to the 2nd power lines of symmetry. Similarily 4 folds gives you 2 to the 3rd and 5 fold gives you 2 to the 4th.
Thanks! IMO n-sector symmetry is more intuitive than n-fold rotational symmetry, and i was SO confused of why the dilemma was. The people in my replies were no help (too complicated) but you captured the essence perfectly.
u spelled 'peice' wrong its piece
... if you did 2x2 it equals 4 and if you did 2x4 it would equal 8 so imagine it like this (2x2=4)x2 = 8
it also depends on the symmetry of your cuts, if you make symmetric cuts along each edge it can have 8 fold symmetry after a total of 3 folds starting from 1. Each cut you make to an edge affects 2 adjacent edges. So any fold symmetry is lost to only if edges from the centre are unevenly cut, in which case you get the 2same 2 different pattern cutting your symmetries in half = 4 fold snowflake.

Donald Hobson this is better than my theory that the lines os symmetry when folded in half is 2^(n-1) where n is the number of folds.
In the video, "four fold symmetry" was used, key word there being fold. I'm not an expert on this topic at all, but does "fold" mean only reflectional symmetry applies, or does the rotational symmetry apply too?
I am so confused after watching this video. Don't know why, but I don't understand what she is talking about. Could you try to explain?
Donald Hobson also it has 8 symmetry because 4 is a factor of 8. It HAS 16384 fold symmetry.
Don’t invoke her wrath

nothing is safe from hexaflexagoning
Actually, the correct term is Hexaflexagonaxigarosting. I know because I worked each syllable out with a computer algorithm.
Wait till my friends on the Hexaflexagonaxigarosting Forum hear about this!
BoodleMoose cheese. Most cheeses aren't hexaflexagonable. They'll crack and break after 1 or 2 folds.
Flynn Curtis not all cheese.
Comet Streak he said most
there are not many channels on yt that make me wish i could do more than just subscribe. this is certainly one of them.
The amount of shade in this video is unreal and I love it
Vi, you are probably my favourite carbon-based lifeform on the Internet.
And your favourite non-carbon-based lifeform?

I read the title as hexaflexacakes and got really confused/interested

This is the only youtube channel that is worthy of notifications. Never once in my life have I turned on notifications for any other channel. I need this.
This video is a really good example of things you can't understand without actually, physically experiencing them

My favourite channel on youtube. LOVE YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
You are a mathematical hexaflexigon folding goddess! We are in awe!
vihart gets mad at the internet
You have more IQ than Rick and Morty fans
Help me get 10'000 subs for ad revenue Pls oh that’s everyone
Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiii
That doesn't mean anything
I swear the main reason why I don't watch that show is that, even if I know the snowclone IQ copypastas are mostly bullshit, they must stem from somewhere and I'm terrible at getting references so it probs IS a show I wouldn't get. A meme has successfully intimidated me out of it's territory, like a zealous predator.
So, congrats, I guess?
That’s not really saying much tho XD.
hexflexa... *GONE*
I swear, everyday in my suggestions is a new hexaflexagon video
Using simple crafts to talk about deeper ideas. I like.
"A snowflaky looking thing"
"Hexagony like"

TBH I wasn't really focusing on what she was saying and i pretty much just watched her make snowflakes... Somehow I still really liked it
I'm down the rabbit hole of these videos and they are great. I'm on break and I've watched these videos almost everyday for the past week!😂😂😂 I love them
Thanks for uploading! I am always checking if there are new videos you posted. It's been a while now. They are fun, informative and somehow relaxing to listen to. I really enjoy them. I think I have watched most if not all of your videos now and I'm not quite ready for the weird stuff on your 2nd channel though. The videos there are really trippy. Please upload more often this year. Anyway, thanks again :)
