    12:30 if the police like to use spelling the alphabet backwards as a sobriety test, at a party you might test how many shots it takes for you to mess up spelling it backwards. Whoever lasts the longest wins. Though, I guess you are being “punished” by winning so maybe you might do something like whoever messes up saying the alphabet backwards first has to take a shot. It doesn’t all have to be about drinking but obvs. having drinking involved could make these alphabet games more interesting

    Never play roll the dice with a mathematican that knows how to do experimental physics 😜
    PS: Would you like to capture path integrals in one of your videos? I recently fall in love with them but my buddys from the math departement hate them... 😂 we need someone how can understand both sides 😉

    Either tom loaded the die or grant is bad at throwing dice fairly (yes you can be bad at that as well as do so deliberately its a matter of technique)

    I'm not sure if this makes me a bad math nerd, but of my math tattoos, I don't actually have my favourite millennium problem anywhere.... Instead, like a chump, I just have a couple of Riemann ζ ones and a short proof of the irresolvability of the general quintic into radicals.

      These tattoos sound amazing! For BSD, I'd probably say the Hasse-Weil L-function?
