An information puzzle with an interesting twist Solution on Stand-up Maths: Help fund future projects: An equally valuable form of support is to simply share some of the videos. Special thanks to these supporters: Home page: ------------------ 0:00 Introduction 3:58 Visualizing the two-square case 5:46 Visualizing the three-square case 12:19 Proof that it's impossible 16:22 Explicit painting of the hypercube ------------------ Thanks to everyone who endured me probing them with this puzzle and provided helpful discussion, especially Cam Christensen, Matt Parker, and Mike Sklar. Mike, by the way, deserves credit for coming up with the particularly clean way to see that it's impossible when n is not a power of 2. These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open-source python library: If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind. Music by Vincent Rubinetti. Download the music on Bandcamp: Stream the music on Spotify: If you want to contribute translated subtitles or to help review those that have already been made by others and need approval, you can click the gear icon in the video and go to subtitles/cc, then “add subtitles/cc“. I really appreciate those who do this, as it helps make the lessons accessible to more people. ------------------ 3blue1brown is a channel about animating math, in all senses of the word animate.
