Geometry and Oat Milk? (I honestly don’t know how to title this video) || Big Math Off Quarter Final 

Oh nice, thanks for confirming my wild speculation with a cool fun fact :)

It's also probably one of the most efficient shapes for packaging tiny amounts of milk, like these single serving coffee milk packets, in terms of avoiding spilling milk. I assume as long as the tube of milk is crimped with a rolling motion that avoids trapping it under pressure but just pushes it forward into the uncrimped end you have less spill per packet than any other shape that requires several folds during production. And also tiny packets are hard to open without spilling but if the opening is on a pointy end you can more easily open it over your cup without spilling much. The shape is also less likely to flatten by pinching it than a rectangular carton is when you opening it. Oh, and the mechanism for creating this shape is way simpler than any folding carton design too.

Hahaha love it! I’m just constructed different 💪

Came here to say this

In Scotland they were called Jublees!

@@Ayliean Yeah, Jubbly (Plural = Jubblies?) in England too!

this information serves no purpose in my life and I love it anyway! thanks

Truuuuue, it is a fantastically cool book which produces very nice cutouts :)

we just have to replace the spherical cow with an infinite field of oats of uniform density

@@adamengelhart5159 I mean they approximate rhombic dodecahedra so they infinitely pack 3d space

@@adamengelhart5159 are oats an ordered field or algebraically closed?

Oh thanks MVP! Imagine seeing you here! 💗

This, this is why I do what I do 🥰 *smiles in reciprocal maths joy*

You know what must be done!

I remember those too! I’m Scotland they were called Jubblys

I’m glad you’re here too! C’mon, get in this nerd herd 💗💗

@@Ayliean ❤️

I think it is. two sides are in motion at once, and essentially the volume changes shape/position but the internal volume stays the same. its a good question tho - is this the same at the end points or continuously?

gets updated at 8am. return tomorrow to vote.

Oh, I am so happy to bring some joy shaped maths into the world - thank you for letting me know 🥰
