    "James, is that you?" In the beginning 🤣 Acting skills 10/10 hahahahah nice video and very interesting facts with a fabulous guest!
  • @ZainAK283
    I loved that opening! I really hope for more crossovers between you two
  • @adw1z
    The crossover I never knew I needed! And in my University! Have a lecture in that very CMS in about 5 hours time but I’m still not asleep lol
  • @woutervanr
    Thanks for joining the video Dr Numberphile 😄
  • @omargaber3122
    I went to James' channel and unfortunately I did not find the video. He stopped publishing more than a year ago😢
  • @koenth2359
    I wonder what Wiles' announcement has to do with Newton. The only link given was the name of the building.
  • @tintiniitk
    What does it mean for a tree to be a descendent of another tree ?
  • @CheeseAlarm
    Yay I was right. I knew one, and thought one quite plausible, and doubted one. Does that make me a mathematician?
  • @rodbotic
    isn't the tree a scion not a descendant?
  • @therabbits69
    Who noticed that James walked by the moment he said legend. Almost like it was planned lmao
