It's perfectly understandable e wasn't a good ruler. He was completely irrational

0:50 7 ate 9 7 : "I have to eat 3 squared meals every day!"

Now everytime I solve a math equation, I will recall how the six musketeers defeated a mathematically huge dragon.

I love how subtraction is protrayed as this small little docile character, but it's really the only one that can effectively reduce the sequence of numbers into zero.

Just multiply it by 0

I think dividing by 0 is equivalent to the nuclear bomb.

Funny how people say "just multiply by 0" when deriving the constant dragon would have been as effective but more elegant.

Multiplication: Leader Division: Lancer Parenthesis: Big Guy Exponents: Smart Guy Addition: Heart Subtraction: Sixth Ranger (Because of his lack of definition during the whole naming sequence)

That was the weirdest TED-Ed video I've ever watched.

Oh my god guys, at 0:50, A 7 is eating 9 7 ate 9 7 8 9

"Throw a calculator" AND PUT X 0

Medieval setting + Puff the Magic Dragon + Star Wars + PEMDAS Most unexpected crossover in history

Dragon: Lol try to kill me ÷ Sign: *_Divides dragon by 0_* Dragon: *_OH GOD NOOOOOOOOO-_*

this will definitely help me in Skyrim.

In the UK, here, we use BODMAS. Brackets, Order (Exponents or Square Roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

0:56 Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that the narrator just casually mentioned the land of pi was an anarcho-syndicalist commune? Truly Ted Ed’s weirdest video by far.

0:51 OMIGOSH!! Anyone notice the PUN SEVEN eight(ate) NINE TED ED.....WOW!

+ = health potion (heal you and hurt the dragon) - = knife (really sharp) × = shuriken ( poisonous) ÷ = dart ( poisonous) ( ) = gauntlet ( spiked) What is your weapon

You know everyone seems to be talking about dividing by zero, but the fact there's just a casual other monster laying around is chill?? Yeah seems fair enough.

This is somehow one if the best TED-ED narrations imo

*PEMDAS, THERE'S ANOTHER SPOT!!*

i always use the pemdas strategy in boss battles

It took me 4 years to realise that they were trying to explain BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS, whatever the heck you call it

I....i just realized after watching this so many time that in 1:07 is a star war reference

Would totally play this if it was a game

How to kill a Dragon with math? Easy, put it in my Math Teachers class.

Digit dragon: "i am invincible!" Division: divides by 0 Digit dragon: WHAT THE FU- *EXPLOSION*

2:35 This is *incorrect*. Division is just another kind of multiplication, so it should be done in the same step as multiplication, from left to right. The same is true of addition and subtraction.

Well as they say 7 8 9 which known as SEVEN ATE NINE

Other ways to defeat the dragon: -Take The dragon and minus it for the dragon -Take The negative version of the dragon and plus for the dragon -Take The dragon and multiply it with 0 -Take 0 and divided it for the dragon

We need to make a show out of this

1:03 Euler's Number 2:21 (2+4×2/2³-3) 3:02 Nested Parenthesis

Lol 7 ate 9. I see what you did there

It's easy. Just turn the ( ) into a 0 and put it after division guy. By dividing the dragon by 0 the universe breaks and the dragon is kill. Simple geometry.

Multiplication: The Main One Division: The Explorer Addition: The One Who Tries, but often fails. Parenthesis: The Guide Exponents: The Smart Child Subtraction: The Useless One

This is amazing!!! I wish we could learn math in that way in school!

Multiplication times the dragon by two. Subtraction gets in the middle of the two dragons. There we go.

Except for the emperor number, which they threw into the mouth of an ancient creature nesting in the desert.

This should be my bedtime story! I love it :•D

I love the fact that the dragon was number one.

If I drop my calculus book on the dragon's carotid artery from high enough up, when my book reaches terminal velocity, it should hopefully impart enough force to kill the dragon, so I think that should do it.

Without subtraction they couldn't have possibly got zero he is the true hero .WHO ALL AGREE

People back then: ah yes a math video. kids now: What happened to L, M, N, O, and P?

1:23 Recker defeat 1:25 Draqoul defeat 1:54 Cackeoul defeat 3:03 Pendas pops out 3:33 The end

Oh I get it. Euler's number was the villain because it was the land of Pi......

0:52 Haha that joke again. Seven ate nine.

In my country (UK) We call it BIDMAS. Brackets, Indesies, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

th- this brings back so much nostalgia.....the memories man

1. Get multiplication 2. Throw him into the dragon's mouth 3. Let him do some sums with 0 4. The dragon is dead!

Well damn that ending was kind of dark.

That's a reference to the most famous book"The Three/Four Musketeers".

Just to let everyone know, Multiplication and Division are done together, left to right, same goes for addition and subtraction so if 20 / 5 x 5 was shown, it would go : 20 / 5 x 3 4 x 3 12 likewise, if 20 - 5 + 3 was shown, it goes : 20 - 5 + 3 15 + 3 18

A wild Mathdragon appeared! It uses multiply! It doesn't do any damage. 0 uses itself! Its super duper effective! The Mathdragon ran away!

I've learned more from Ted-Ed than school.

BODMAS Rule : I’m about to end this man’s whole career.

I like how it starts like a fairy tale of numbers, but then the anarcho syndicalist commune and the imperial senate get introduced.

1:18 and a princess or 2, lol

Who saw the 7 8 9 joke?

I found 2 potential Star Wars references. 1: when the emperor number became the… emperor. It reminded me of the emperor form basically every Star Wars movie except the force awakens and the last Jedi. 2: when the emperor number was thrown into the mouth of an ancient monster that lived in the desert. It reminded me of the Sarlacc Pit from return of the Jedi.

0:22-0:23 Parentheses 0:23-0:24 Exponents 0:24-0:26 Multiplication and Division 0:26-0:27 Addition 0:27-0:28 Subtraction 1:03-1:06 The Emperor Number 1:14-1:17 Puff 3:14-3:27 The number One

I like the Star Wars reference at the beginning and at the end XD

I especially liked the part where 7 ate 9.

0:54 "come back here and get subtracted!"

That old intro to Ted Ed brings back memories

1:20 the population of The Land of Pi is the same as the number Pi!

I don't need to defeat a dragon with math, I need to defeat math with a dragon xD

Well, even though you said that parentheses can be inside other parentheses, there are also to more different pairs of grouping symbols, brackets [ ] and braces { }.

E: kills all the kingdom’s knights. E: installs himself as emperor Also E: Hey, where did all my knights go?

Kid: Math can't be fun Teacher: (show this video)

*Looks at title* *Goes to a dragon* *Shouting out expressions and their solutions* I hope that works.

I remember seeing this video when i was like what? 4 or 5? I had no idea what this was as i had only knowm addition and subtraction at the time, but i liked the story. I watched the video over and over, to where a lot of it was burned into my mind. Now here i am, at the (Very young grade of 6th grade 💀) learning Pemdas, and because those scenes were so burned into my mind, i finally understood everything, and it just clicked. I completely aced everything and completely saved my math grade. Thank you Ted Ed for putting this video inside a time capsule in my head for when this would become useful

3:30 that scene is from star wars, the emperor would be digested over a 1000 years, awww

This is actually a really fun and clever way to teach math.

That's what it's called *_MATH_*

Thank you for teaching me math even though it’s easy.

I know we’re talking about the two major x 0 and /0 catalysts, but like... why would Puff the Magic Digit Dragon eat a zero? Wouldn’t it be tasteless? Also, how could one come from zero?? Questions remained unanswered until this very day, a little over 8 years after this video was published. Will they ever be answered? Is there an unknown sequel that was never released? What was the desert creature?! Will I end this dramatic monologue?! SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE US ANSWERS

Anyone could have found "/" and "0" and Form X/0, that would have been much more badass

Wow, talk about clickbait titles

can we just appreciate how cool the intro is

I watched this s as a kid but although I didn’t understand, I was mesmerized and thought of it as a beautiful story, almost like a fairytale, and I still do know, only now thinking of and understanding the beautiful story of math

PEMDAS is for: P- Parentheses E- Exponents M- Multiplication D- Division A- Addition S- Subtraction

Police Excuse My Drug Addiction Support

I watched this again when i already understanded more about math, i learned division and multiplication so far.

I assumed this was a riddle and instantly came to the resolution of PEMDAS. Then realized it was just teaching people order of operations after watching the whole video...

Me: 1+1=2 Dragon: Oh No! He beat me with math!

When you finally hear the whole TED-Ed intro

I love how there was a 7 8(ate) 9 refference in the intro

My teacher told me this story. But it wasn't king e, it king e^x and e^x defeated dragon through a differentiation duel.

It's sad how much I identify with subtraction ;(

3:16 one is the loneliest number

Vanishing every number with the other number or the sets of numbers. Good idea.

*addition and subtraction*(1) *multiplication and division*(2) are in the same order, but whichever is on the left is done first.

Well... My dragon Isn't made of numbers...

The Land of Tau is doubly plentiful when compared with The Land of Pi. Clearly, Puff the Magic Digit Dragon was not able to defeat the forces of Tau.

The parenthetical brackets are just a pair of arms.

I Know Another Way To Defeat A Dragon With Math... Dungeons And Dragons

What happens a zero invades?

2:03 is when they start

What knights are thinking when they attack a dragon: *ok so if I throw my sword at its neck, then if I figure out the mohs scale, I would say about 9.2k mohs so the material of the dragon is skin so earth is 9.8 m/s squared but this may be altered by air and the horizontal speed should be slightly be above the real answer because the air will push off if it. If I find the correct force and the sine and cosine waves then I will figure it out. The target relative to my position and rotation is 90 feet, so I will throw at a 45 degree angle with the force of 100 lb weight traveling at the force of 10 mph.* *fwoosh* *sword chokes dragon* *DRAGON SCREAMS* “YES!”
