I clicked on this video because earlier today I was watching it and only got like 10% thru the video. Sorry but I'm not going to watch the rest here, I'm going to numberphile to watch original video. I'm ever so sorry Matt Parker. I love your videos and everything you do. You do everything you do with utmost importance and value to your viewing audience! It took me about 3 minutes to write this message. So I hope that counts towards your total view count! byee3eee and see you in the next video. Okay this message now has taken 4 minutes. Wait make that 4:15 minutes. Ahhh no. 4:25minutrs.. okay I'll stop now!

I like how Matt's name is being tied to many aspects of magic squares, not because he's spent his life doing groundbreaking research into it, but because of a funny meme video.

In 1000 years thanks to the fog of history, Matt will probably be referrred to as "the great magic square theorist, with as many concepts to his name as Euler"
@jochenreichl796 11 ай бұрын
At least in the German Wikipedia page about Matt, his Parker square is shown. Also there is a property of certain mathematical "bodies" (I'm not a mathematician and cannot translate those terms correctly) with are "Parker", if it is not possible to make a magic square of them, and it is "non-Parker", if it is possible to make a magic square of them. I find that very funny.
@thewhitefalcon8539 11 ай бұрын
@@jochenreichl796it makes sense that it would be on Matt's page. It will be worrying if it's ever on the magic square page :) The English word for "mathematical bodies" is "mathematical objects" if I understood it right, but most of the time you would say something more specific - you would say what kind of objects they are (number systems or something)

16:39 16:41 Is everyone forgetting that the Parker Square doesn't lie on the Parker Surface? Since it doesn't fulfill all conditions (the sum on one diagonal doesn't equal the sum on the other and the rows and columns), and all points on the Parker surface do fulfill this criterion!

One thing he couldve mentioned is that points on the surface with rational coordinates can be scaled up by a common denominator to get a point with integer coordinates. If all the original rational numbers were distinct the point with integer coordinates does that too. The reason this is important is because a lot of times when he references the surface hes actually referencing essentially the surface with all irrational points removed. This is the shape that contains elliptic/rational curves in the way he describes.

On my profile in the videos I have a video about my findings on this problem - specifically focusing on the last digit narrows it down to a specific list of combination types... there will either be a diagonal with numbers ending in 5 and the total will end in 75 or all the numbers will have the same last digit.
