I strongly believe it was the deer handing you these questions. And the spider was there to make sure you didn't cheat or fall victim to woodland monsters.
Oh my. A game show! Proper reality, emotional confessionals. Spiders. Random visits by a question laden friendly foe. Drama!! Beans!!! Onya for breaking out Toby.
Beans beans the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot. Lol 😆 I bet, in hine sight, locking yourself in a bus or anything like that with nothing but beans to eat was not a good idea. Next time, I'd go with Mac and cheese. However, beans are good, and I think I'll have some with a hamburger 🍔. This video made me hungry. Peace and Ahev
Honestly, I took shrooms and then understood that fractals are the framework of our existence. Everything is a fractal of another fractal and you can zoom in or out almost infinitely on these fractals. If you take enough shrooms you can visit the fractal-verse (as I call it) where in real time you're seeing these fractals in your daily activities and in interactions with others. The fractals are always there as the framework. The first fractal (or final fractal, it's the same thing since time has no objective direction) is God
@@PatRourke137 wow, I totally get you. Another mind boggling thing is that each of our life paths are like intricately connected fractals, interwoven and all moving together. Round and round and round it goes.. where it stops, no body knows 🎪
I feel pretty confident that this whole video was acting and poking fun at the format of game shows/survival shows that have confessionals and challenges etc. and honestly it was just as fun and interesting as watching those shows. Great acting, plot and very informational!
I always liked to study on buses and trains, especially long journeys. I never thought that maybe the bus/train didn't have to be moving for the study-boosting effect to take place :O
Love how you don’t pretend that you know everything and get everything right. I truly believe that making mistakes is the most important step of learning. I bought this Mandelbrot book about a month ago and have barely touched it. Thanks for keeping it real.
Making mistakes, asking wrong questions, and then knowing the norms is nothing but a fractal to a specific pattern to learning which branches out as you go deeper and deeper to make an individual effort from one specific to multiple mysteries of knowledge diversity!
This in my opinion was your best video 36:29 to date. It showed to me that I am not alone in struggling to understand new concepts. Also it made me realize that even smarter people than me have exam anxiety. Thanks so much for your wonderful channel.
This is delightful as per usual. We all seem to appreciate, as evidenced by comments, being treated to awe inspiring material, and joy- a frolic of the mind for sure! Thank you Tibees and producer with envelopes📩. I appreciate this episode more than i can say. Learning what understanding this material looks like, brings an understanding of a different sort. I feel inspired. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you got into the bus I immediately thought of Chris McCandless RIP. Thanks to the Numberphile channel I was able to get a rudimentary grasp on how the Mandelbrot Set is calculated. Much simpler than I had expected.
That was so fun and entertaining to watch. Also interesting to see that everyone struggles when learning something new. Whenever I see the exam solving videos I feel stupid for not knowing the answer right away, so it was good to see that you do not either. Also, I learned a little bit about fractals
It means a lot to me to see someone attempting a great task with minimal resources out of an attempt to keep their mental capabilities stable - im homeless and schizophrenic so its very cathartic to see people attempt and struggle to succeed at stuff a lot of us consider very normal day to day circumstances. Kind of affirming for someone to point out things like the effects of diet diversity on cognition and motivation, thank you 🎉
5:16 Even though I live in the other colonies, we regularly have deer in our yard. They live in the woods near us. About once a year we see 2 to 4 fawns being raised on or near our property.
When i read the title i was like "Man she knows how to deal with her problems others are dealing with their distractions and fears but i am just so bad at it", and then in the video she voices her fears which shows that the internal fight stays the same no matter what appears on the outside, it doesnt make the fight easier to know this but atleast you wont compare yourself, so i hope other fealt the same and i am very grateful that you gave this to us.
What a fantastic piece of content. I know it's super difficult to translate these books into understanding, and then translate your understanding to us viewers in a way that SOMEHOW gives us the vaguest comprehension of these mammoth topics, but I was riveted to my seat watching this. The sound was fantastic throughout, both microphones and music, and the concept was exciting. And I feel I do have at least the barest understanding of why fractals exist now, as a starting point to the topic at least.
I smiled all the way through this vid. Tibees is quirky and also smart, an irresistible combination. And I learnt about fractals and the Mandelbrot set. Cheers.
@@notfunny3397Basically the Main character asks the SUPER STRONG character... That if he could beat the SUPER STRONG MAIN VILLAIN... To which that character replied... "I might struggle" Then the main character asked... "Would you lose?" To which that character replied... "NAH, I'D WIN" It has been an internet sensation among the Anime fans... (⚠️ Spoilers ⚠️) Cuz... That "Super strong main character" Did lose... And yeh... Died... Against that "Super strong main villain" So yeh. That's the reference...
You know, I have things to do today. Lots of things. Important things. My wife has expectations, my little puppy has expectations, and I'm just peacefully making breakfast and you just have to post the most interesting video I've seen in months. The day, maybe the rest of the week, have been fractally diverted into a subject I find absorbing. Then you had the spider. I'm getting the flame thrower out. And the hammer. The big one. Time to give Spidey a first hand lesson in fractals; i.e., similarity (or not,) in itsy-bitsy spider fragments. You realize that I'll never be able to pass through the door of a bus again. Thanks a lot.
This was a great video, thank you! The other comments seem to think it is about fractals, but to me that was just the scenery. The video is actually about dealing with insecurities. I love that you are so open about those and show us how you deal with them. ❤
I've always been fascinated by the Mandelbrot set ever since I saw a PBS special about it. I feel like I learned a bit more about it from this video, so thank you.
This video was so interesting and enjoyable! The sounds in the bush, which are so different than the sounds of the central european forest. Then all the interesting facts about fractals, the authentic struggle to understand something difficult and the relatable struggle to concentrate for such a long time. And of course the relaxing vibe of tibees in the forest and the cool bus! Truly exceptional
I really enjoy how you explain about going through difficult things even in discomfort. I also find myself not starting difficult things unless I am in the right headspace, have some music going, had lunch, and a bunch of other silly parameters/excuses I can come up with to not start. I love the idea of just challenging yourself every once in a while to upkeep that ability to problem solve, so i admire your willingness to do a video like this.
I would had not clicked on the video if the title was not this creative. I watched the whole video so enthusiastically; I want to appreciate the thought that has been put in the video-the writing style for the questions chosen, the title, how the theme was set, the editing and many different pictures used for the explanation. This did not at all felt like a boring session in a classroom. It was fun. Looking forward to more such videos ❤
This is one of the most unique videos on youtube! The topic was amazing and even the video editing was a nice show of how less is more, hope it reaches more people on this platform. Even if that does not happen, this video will be a nice hidden gem for people who have found it :D
Such a marvelous video, thank you Toby! I keep unraveling how amazing and inspiring you (& fractals) are. Sending you my best wishes for the learning challenges ahead 🌞
Thank you for showing the moments where you're struggling or when you don't understand. It helps me remember that mathematicians are not built different, but take the time to build themselves.
It's been a while since I watched one of your videos but got the desire to see what you have made lately, and I'm not disappointed. I love the mood of your videos and this experiment with locking yourself in a bus to learn new things is so relatable.
On behalf of all fractals, thank you for taking us seriously. We were just looking for a new princess and you fit that role perfectly, masterfully approaching the knowledge about us.
this was such an inspiring and entertaining video toby!! oddly humanising to watch an edutuber who i look up to face similar struggles and anxieties studying. thank you for taking us on this motivating learning journey with you 🫶🫶🫶 and congrats on beating the final boss at the end :] (also a massive shoutout to the editor, this was a delight to watch!!)
That was a really cool video, one can actually apply reinforcement learning on themselves for better production and get a reward at each successful milestone.
Wow, been following for a while, your channel is getting big, congrats! I like how you are introducing new themes and concepts like "a challenge", you are a natural storyteller, love to learn science and math from you 💙
Fabulous!! I actually got all the questions correct, even the first. Then again, I have had to study fractal geometry my whole career. It is nice to see you do this for what would have been fun for me. Spiders and all... Love every video you make. Keep up the great work me young lady.
Hi! I was wondering if you could give me some insight into your career. I am a senior math undergraduate and I am currently doing a research project in fractals and symbolic dynamics with my professor. I think I want to go to graduate school (if I can get in) and specialize in some subfield of dynamics. One thing that I am worried about is once I am out of academia (I don’t plan to do pure research), I don’t know what my job prospects are. I would like to do something relating to dynamical systems but I don’t really know what there is. If you are willing, could you elaborate on your career and how it allowed you to study fractals. Are you in academia or industry? Thanks!
@@ObsessedWithaProblem Technically I am now retired. My career has been in "high resolution cartography" when I was working at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO). Us cartographers working with GIS have been attempting to create the highest resolution maps possible for in depth analysis. And to do so, I had to study fractal geometry my whole career as it got more and more sophisticated and technologically advanced. As for your career, you cannot go wrong to have a good understanding of fractal geometry. Some careers won't need advanced fractal geometry. For me Benoit's first publication simply fueled my Curiosity nature and I have studied fractals ever since. May your career be as fulfilling as mine has been. Additionally, I have been studying astrophysics as a lifelong hobby. Understanding fractals also helped in my hobby.
Ok but Fr, this video is just great. I enjoyed it the whole way through. It just the combination of education and your personal journey keeping me hooked I especially love the bus-buddies Bee, Deer and Giant spider
I can relate a lot . I was able to study 18 hours a day with focus and interest and after a year or so i went on a holiday and developed a habbit of taking too many breaks slowly. But now i am again trying hard to get back on track.its just like i was getting bad at the only thing i was above average at.
What an interesting and novel way to study! Congratulations Tibees. Also, such a neat way of working the Brilliant sponsor promo into your video. I was through it before I even realized it was a promo! lol
You are an artist of mathematics and that was performance art. Bravo! I tried the questions along with you. I got 1. Got this right, although I didn't like the wording 2. I went for B, although I feel it's limiting in the sense that a line is self-similar so could be considered a fractal with Dt = D = 1. A matter of definition though. 3. A, all the way, before I even heard the rest. Then you got to D and I wondered if I was wrong, but I decided not to second guess myself. 4. D is false. 5. Based on the top of the diagram, it looks closer to log(7)/log(5) but I assume that it is meant to be log(5)/log(3) 6. Z0 = 0. Z1 = 0^2 + x = x. Z2 = x^2 + x = x(x+1). Z3 = (x^2 + x)^2 + x = x[x(x+1)^2 + 1]. If the Zn values are ever greater than 1 then they will go to infinity so keep it less. I can't easily get a closed form and I haven't worked through enough of the values to see which one goes to more than 1 so, since I'm supposed to be working, I'll guess 1/4 is the answer. Feels like it should be linked to the logistics equation but I'm guessing. Given the Brilliant hint, we have z = (1 +/- sqrt(1-4x))/2) is a fixed point, which is only true if 1-4x > 0 which implies x = 1/4 so my guess is sound. Does this mean I get to escape into the woods with Tibbees? Sounds like a lot more fun than being stuck in a bus/office.
Thank you for showing a great meta-process of coming to meet very new material. I've struggled through two of those books and got tons of inspiration from your search methods. Yay you!!
I’d love to see this as a collaboration with others, either as a team event or you as the quiz master, or even just more solo challenges. So uniquely inspired
You are the Sam Saluk of mental exercising. Yer an inspiration. I feel stupid after listening to this after a while. I feel sore after an hour of workout. Then beans. Point is, keep on keeping on.
Amazing video!! Such a unique concept, loved it🎉 For the last question, we could have simply maximized x = z-z² to get a critical point z = 1/2 giving us x = 1/4 as our maximum point for the Mandelbrot Set!
This was Brilliant! See what I did there, “Brilliant!”. No seriously though this was a great idea and super fun, thank you for this I can’t wait to watch it again with my daughter as she is just learning about quadratics in school this year!
An excellent challenge and an excellent narrative adventure. As we get older, more and more external forces impinge on us. Distractions multiply. Locking oneself away in a bus in the woods sounds like a wonderful escape but also sheer torture due to the deprivations of sugar, caffeine, internet. I don't feel like I'm less intelligent than when I was in my 20s, but I seriously doubt I could complete a challenge like this due to an inability to focus. I'd need at least a week in the woods just to break those addictions before I could even begin to read a text book without constantly wanting to check email or the stock market or Twitter, etc.
13:30 getting confused.. 1st line = 1 2nd line = 3/3 Discard 1/3 3rd line = 2/3 of the 1st line Now, 2/3 of the original becomes the new 1st line equal to 1 Repeat step 2 ( divide into 3 ) " 2/3 of original 1 splitted in 3 " 2 possible ways to see the 3rd line.. - it becomes 6/9 total lenght of original line, Or.. - the third line is the new 1.
What an interesting, fun and novel way to explore math. We (your subscribers) are lucky to have your creative energies to educate use. Thank you for your efforts.
If there is one video that inspires me to grab a bunch of books starting a whole new learning journey, it must be the one. i took crystallography this year. Crystals are a state of repeated patterns on a micro scale, involving atom arrangement. What captivates my attention is the realization that fractals while a similar concept, are entirely different! I eagerly look forward to learn more about it.
Would you make a video session on the maths of an infinite series that balanced infinity. Like, the elements remain as part of the subsequent complexity. As an example: an organ is cells, molecules, atoms, particles, etc.?
Learning for three days in an abandoned school bus really has charm! I would like to do this myself, going out into the nature and focus on learning without any distraction. Sadly though, my way of learning is all about making Obsidian notes while reading. I would have to find a place with a power plug. :D
29:20 Legit imo. I was sick for a lot of year 12 and I only passed the math final because I solved the questions numerically with my calculator (TI-83) and just poked at the number until I found something I recognized like pi. Then I just wrote the answer like "3π/2" and left some vague attempts at doing the work. Got partial marks.
Suggestion for a variation in the next episode: Jade from up and atom drives the bus, you are locked up in the room with heavily tinted glasses so that you do not know where you are until you finish the challenge, then once you finish the challenge, you swap the roles and this time you challenge Jade with a topic of your choosing.
22:38 How is it possible to have 4 different mesures for the same coastline ? A distance of 10 000m , for example, will still mesure 10 000m, even with 4 different graded rulers..
The fact that she knows someone who can ask her questions about fractals is even more impressive.
Welcome to academia.
You certainly got that correct.
all hail chatgpt
Why is that impressive?
I would be locked forever. . .
Same
Ditto 🤗
And that would be a lot of fun
I'd have to ask "do you have a book that explains this book?"
😂😂
"fear... that I'm becoming not very good at doing hard things." Wow, is that relatable!
It's called aging. Welcome :)
Yes, and it sucks!
Same, I barely learned how to do a 900 spin yesterday
I can relate too, I've started to choose quitting when something is hard much more often nowadays than when I was a student.
I strongly believe it was the deer handing you these questions. And the spider was there to make sure you didn't cheat or fall victim to woodland monsters.
And the foxes were just for moral support.
Spiders are seen as the embodiment of wisdom and perseverance in many cultures.
omg this is the beginning of a really fun kids' tale about persevering while studying!
and communing with nature ofc
Oh my. A game show! Proper reality, emotional confessionals. Spiders. Random visits by a question laden friendly foe. Drama!! Beans!!!

28:58 Toby: I had two or more brain farts
The rest of us: Toby is human
Beans beans the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot. Lol 😆 I bet, in hine sight, locking yourself in a bus or anything like that with nothing but beans to eat was not a good idea.

That's not the kind of farts I was referring to, but ok
As someone who got decently far in math but still got nervous working with logarithms, it was honestly a little healing

Genius! Why did I never think of locking myself in a bus with canned beans?
I think about that all the time, actually.
I mean, we've already done this in 2020.

What an interesting and novel way to study! Congratulations Tibees. Also, such a neat way of working the Brilliant sponsor promo into your video. I was through it before I even realized it was a promo! lol
You are an artist of mathematics and that was performance art. Bravo!
I tried the questions along with you. I got
1. Got this right, although I didn't like the wording
2. I went for B, although I feel it's limiting in the sense that a line is self-similar so could be considered a fractal with Dt = D = 1. A matter of definition though.
3. A, all the way, before I even heard the rest. Then you got to D and I wondered if I was wrong, but I decided not to second guess myself.
4. D is false.
5. Based on the top of the diagram, it looks closer to log(7)/log(5) but I assume that it is meant to be log(5)/log(3)
6. Z0 = 0. Z1 = 0^2 + x = x. Z2 = x^2 + x = x(x+1). Z3 = (x^2 + x)^2 + x = x[x(x+1)^2 + 1]. If the Zn values are ever greater than 1 then they will go to infinity so keep it less. I can't easily get a closed form and I haven't worked through enough of the values to see which one goes to more than 1 so, since I'm supposed to be working, I'll guess 1/4 is the answer. Feels like it should be linked to the logistics equation but I'm guessing.
Given the Brilliant hint, we have z = (1 +/- sqrt(1-4x))/2) is a fixed point, which is only true if 1-4x > 0 which implies x = 1/4 so my guess is sound.
Does this mean I get to escape into the woods with Tibbees? Sounds like a lot more fun than being stuck in a bus/office.
Thank you for showing a great meta-process of coming to meet very new material. I've struggled through two of those books and got tons of inspiration from your search methods. Yay you!!
I’d love to see this as a collaboration with others, either as a team event or you as the quiz master, or even just more solo challenges.
So uniquely inspired
Tibees locks Mr Beast in a school bus. Every question on fractals he gets wrong releases an Australian spider in the bus...
You are the Sam Saluk of mental exercising. Yer an inspiration.
I feel stupid after listening to this after a while.
I feel sore after an hour of workout.
Then beans.
Point is, keep on keeping on.
Amazing video!!
Such a unique concept, loved it🎉
For the last question, we could have simply maximized x = z-z² to get a critical point z = 1/2 giving us x = 1/4 as our maximum point for the Mandelbrot Set!
As i watched this i wanted to cheer you on so much! TY for sharing with us. Please do more vids like this!
I hated maths with a passion in school. But here I am learning more than ever. Thank you for everything you do :)
This was Brilliant! See what I did there, “Brilliant!”. No seriously though this was a great idea and super fun, thank you for this I can’t wait to watch it again with my daughter as she is just learning about quadratics in school this year!
An excellent challenge and an excellent narrative adventure. As we get older, more and more external forces impinge on us. Distractions multiply. Locking oneself away in a bus in the woods sounds like a wonderful escape but also sheer torture due to the deprivations of sugar, caffeine, internet. I don't feel like I'm less intelligent than when I was in my 20s, but I seriously doubt I could complete a challenge like this due to an inability to focus. I'd need at least a week in the woods just to break those addictions before I could even begin to read a text book without constantly wanting to check email or the stock market or Twitter, etc.
Oh Toby. You are SO awesome!!❤❤. Thanks for this amazing youtube on Fractals!!
13:30 getting confused..
1st line = 1
2nd line = 3/3
Discard 1/3
3rd line = 2/3 of the 1st line
Now, 2/3 of the original becomes the new 1st line equal to 1
Repeat step 2 ( divide into 3 )
" 2/3 of original 1 splitted in 3 "
2 possible ways to see the 3rd line..
- it becomes 6/9 total lenght of original line,
Or..
- the third line is the new 1.
Thanks Tibees, great content as always
Wow, this was my favourite video of your awesome channel. It's creatively brilliant and inspiring. Thanks you so mcc !
I got excited when you mentioned the cantor set, as I heard about it in a lebesgue integral seminar not long ago! Makes me want to study it again!!
I don't think fractals are my thing, but what a cool idea for a video, rewarding yourself for learning.
What an interesting, fun and novel way to explore math. We (your subscribers) are lucky to have your creative energies to educate use. Thank you for your efforts.
What an epic and glamorous exit from the bus!!! What an adventure Toby!!!
Think is a masterpiece. And such a brilliant format for science and maths communication
Love what you do. Please keep it up!
This is an awesome piece of content... and it comes with science!
Tibees on the Goggins grind
You’re very smart. I like your deeper level of learning.
Think it is interesting that "Fairy Sum" fractions are used to find the locations of the nodes on the outside of the Mandelbrot set.
If there is one video that inspires me to grab a bunch of books starting a whole new learning journey, it must be the one. i took crystallography this year. Crystals are a state of repeated patterns on a micro scale, involving atom arrangement. What captivates my attention is the realization that fractals while a similar concept, are entirely different! I eagerly look forward to learn more about it.
The title is so meme clickbait like I did not expect this from Tibees, but I am glad it is, really good video
youre really amazing Toby!
i love your vids sister, im 14 but your videos have help me get interest in exams like jee advanced and help me make my career path
Whoah, this video was so cool! So much effort put in, keep it up!
Would you make a video session on the maths of an infinite series that balanced infinity. Like, the elements remain as part of the subsequent complexity. As an example: an organ is cells, molecules, atoms, particles, etc.?
Learning for three days in an abandoned school bus really has charm! I would like to do this myself, going out into the nature and focus on learning without any distraction. Sadly though, my way of learning is all about making Obsidian notes while reading. I would have to find a place with a power plug. :D
29:20 Legit imo. I was sick for a lot of year 12 and I only passed the math final because I solved the questions numerically with my calculator (TI-83) and just poked at the number until I found something I recognized like pi. Then I just wrote the answer like "3π/2" and left some vague attempts at doing the work. Got partial marks.
Tibees' videoes Bob Rossness is fractal! This wonderful whimsy in the sense of the coastline paradox I'd say.
Suggestion for a variation in the next episode: Jade from up and atom drives the bus, you are locked up in the room with heavily tinted glasses so that you do not know where you are until you finish the challenge, then once you finish the challenge, you swap the roles and this time you challenge Jade with a topic of your choosing.
I come straight to u for the hard stuff..You are my number 1. I thank u infinitely
Man, the Saw franchise gets REALLY weird in the later installments
22:38
How is it possible to have 4 different mesures for the same coastline ?
A distance of 10 000m , for example, will still mesure 10 000m, even with 4 different graded rulers..
I LOOOVE this video concept! Please please please repeat with other topics
As you gain experience in life, you realize that the things you thought you knew only scratched the surface.
