Q & A
What is the main problem presented in the video?
-The main problem presented is a crossword puzzle where numbers 1 through n are used to fill in the blank spaces to make the given equations correct, with the condition that the Order of Operations does not apply.
What is the first step Josh takes to solve the crossword puzzle?
-Josh's first step is to focus on equations that involve multiplication or division, as these have more limited numbers that can be used.
What is the reasoning behind starting with the equation that has multiplication?
-Josh starts with the multiplication equation because it gives a hint that one of the numbers must be 7, as it is the only number that when multiplied by another number gives 7, which is needed to satisfy the equation.
How does Josh determine that one of the numbers in the equation must be 7?
-Josh determines that one of the numbers must be 7 by looking at another equation, which shows that if the number were 1, it would not be possible to achieve the sum of 22 with any other numbers.
What are the possible numbers that can be used in the equation 7 multiplied by a number equals 14?
-The possible numbers that can be used are 2 or 3, as 7 multiplied by 2 equals 14 and 7 multiplied by 3 equals 21, which can be adjusted with the other numbers in the equation to fit the conditions.
Why can't the number in the equation be 1?
-The number cannot be 1 because if it were, the difference between two other numbers would have to be 12, which is not possible given the numbers already used and the constraints of the puzzle.
What is the final step in solving the puzzle?
-The final step is to find the remaining numbers that fit the conditions of the remaining equations, ensuring that all numbers from 1 through n are used and that the equations are satisfied.
What does Josh ask the viewers to do after solving the crossword puzzle?
-Josh asks the viewers to share their best or worst math jokes in the comments section of the video.
What is the purpose of asking for math jokes from the viewers?
-Josh wants to incorporate the viewers' math jokes into his future videos, adding humor and engagement to his content.
What is the significance of the number 90° in one of the math jokes?
-The number 90° is used in a pun where standing in the corner is humorously suggested as a way to become warmer, playing on the idea that 90 degrees is a measure of temperature as well as an angle.
What is the theme of the second math joke shared by Josh?
-The second joke is about two parallel lines that have so much in common but tragically never meet, which is a play on the geometric property of parallel lines never intersecting.
How does Josh engage with his subscribers and patrons at the end of the video?
-Josh asks viewers to give the video a thumbs up, gives a shout out to his subscribers and patrons, and encourages them to stay well and safe, signaling a personal connection and appreciation for his audience.
