@Squatting Szpion Detector Whats the fun in seeing a man talking to himself? I appreciated it when he explained the game but the other stuff...nothing special acting-wise so bleh
So, I'm in a math writing class, and we have an assignment where we have to write about a mathematician who's... known... but not super famous (so we can't write about Einstein or Euler, but we can write about John Conway or Ron Graham), and I picked John Conway because there was something very interesting about him. Well, today, I read some more about him on Wikipedia, and then I noticed that he was the mastermind behind this game, and suddenly I remembered that I had watched part of this video before, and had to come back to this. Apparently, this video was really useful in explaining the game. And then I asked my professor if I could use this as a source. He said it's definitely useful, but I should see where he obtained all his information. Sure enough, Vsauce did cite his sources.
@@Garbage_Pizza Oh, I didn't mention anything about that. But I did get into detail about Sprouts and Conway's Game of Life. I'm not sure I got enough time to finish the whole paper though due to other time constraints, but I was glad to use this as a reference.
the fact that kevin works with a team makes this way better because a grown man playing sprouts by himself while role playing yoda in complete isolation would be the saddest thing i’ve ever seen
What breaks my brain, is that I’m happy that at least one Vsauce channel is still loyal to my notification bell. Vsauce 1’s bell is getting a bit rusty.
I watched this when it came out, but it recently showed up in my feed again so I gave it another watch and sprouts makes me think about how the neurons in our brain create unique pathways as memories. Mapping out Sprouts games sort of seems like we're trying to make out every possible connection in a brain.
@@quantumgaming9180 Counter question; What is a brain? If we say it's aomething that stores data, then a simple bit, a 1 or 0 can be a brain. Same goes for a more complex definition such as, "A brain is something that can store data and make decisions." A single bit could do that too. I think most people would conaider a brain to be more complex, but when do grains of sand become a pile? When does a pile become a dune? To try to draw a definite line is near impossible.
Lol I hated that before I hit pre-algebra because I sometimes really didn’t know how to “show my work” even though I had the correct answer. I was like, “what is there to show??” (Not trying to sound like a smarty pants, just sharing =] )
Am I the only one here in this comment section who is asking himself why haven't we been playing sprout all this time? I am totally playing this game with my friends and jedi masters
This has, in my mind, the same fascination as a rubiks cube, but on a higher plane. The simplicity of 0-0 makes the complexity of this so much more interesting. And the fact that there is a finite number of possibilities in each game makes it possible yet mind blowing to explore
I remember playing sprouts with someone in a different period on a desk and I didn't even know their name Also the teacher was super chill about it, every Friday he wipes down the desks but kept our game
@JOSIAH ROCK A game where you play as a female bartender in the far future where you make alcoholic drinks for a variety of characters. These drinks are made with a mixtures of chemicals due to a decrease in natural resources. One of the ingredients you use to make alcohol is called ketamine and you can just pour as much as you want to get someone shitfaced drunk.
@@superjaxonssuperchannel8810 1. Not an arguement. It's a meme. 2. You can't even argue that it's an old meme format (I mean you CAN, but it wouldn't make any sense to), since this was posted 8 months ago. :)
The most complex game ever devised by man is called (dramatic pause) Go. You have a grid of lines (the pros play 19x19, but you can vary it for simpler play) and you take turns placing pieces on intersections. If you completely and tightly surround a group of your opponents pieces, you take those pieces. You want to have as many empty spaces surrounded by your pieces as possible.
Go is easy all the pieces are the same. I'm just kidding. I've known go for almost as long as chess and even though I can play chess relatively well, I don't even know what I'm quite doing half the time in go.
This needs to be a movie. Robots rise up and challenge humans to a game for the planet. Humans choose sprouts. Computers never make a move because they're calculating the game forever. Humans win.
