The Mathematics of Monkeybread 

I exist in a state of perpetual anticipation of "next time".

Yay, new ViHart! I taught my 7 year old twin girls to make Hexaflexigons yesterday. I caught one of them watching Numberphile and Minute Physics on RU-vid. She loved the drawings and style, but didn't really learn anything about multiple universes. So I showed her your video on geometry, which she could wrap her brain around a little better. She also likes your Dragon Curve video, but she doesn't quite understand that one. She also really liked the video of you drawing triangles on Derek's face.

Finally a new video from the math godess

I learned about Voronoi diagrams from Blender. Really helpful for mathematically generating textures or shapes that look like they weren't mathematically generated.

Mathematics: better when covered in cinnamon sugar and butter

Vi is the true mathematical snacc here

If Binging with Babish saw those cookies he would get an aneurism

you are the reason I'm studying maths in university now!! love all your videos so much

"I've done my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Askaban!" And Vi has finally posted! So rejoice people, as the queen is now back with us!

Wait? It's not PI Day? Why do we have a new video?

What if you had coloured each cell differently? :D I dunno if it's practical but it woulda been visually interesting to see those 3D Voronoi shapes more clearly even when you disected the cake :P

Why is a vid in 180 better than being in a classroom properly

Not a fan of the VR180 stuff, still a fan of the mathematics!

Great way to find an excuse for being a bad cook/baker that got his/her cookies melted together. I might use that excuse in the future (propably next christmas). "No, it's not a total mess. It's a Voronoi diagram".

what you always wanted to know but were too afraid to ask about monkeybread topology :)

Me have a not so great start to the day. Saw new video happier then most others. Thank you for making ravishing videos for our entertainment keep up the great work

When Vihart uploads, you know it’s a good day! 😄

Love the "genus 0--genus 1" and "positve/negative" references! (My rather was a topologist, worked on the first visualizations of the reversion of a sphere).

The first thought I had about the monkey bread is "does it have scutoids" and you of course confirmed it

I CAN TASTE THE BREAD FROM HERE! WHY IS MATHS MAKING ME SO HUNGRY?!? Anyway, I love you’re videos vi and especially love the vr 180!

Vi you are on form! Love the toroid adoration :)

Those shapes were one of my favorite doodling shapes in school (but also with hearts and letters and such in the middle). What a throwback! 😄

Waow! And the VR180 works on my tablet too! I can look through my tablet as if it were a window to another universe! And i feel like trying to make monkeybread now, though i hadn't heard of it before (i'm Dutch)...

what is even the point of VR180? it's like VR360 except you keep the annoying Moving The Phone Around and non of the 360

So cool! Looks just like cells in the cross-sections in our bio lab. Interesting explanation!

I prefer the non-VR videos.

How is mr. ug? I’m dying to know!

Wanted to see Vi's entire kitchen turned round to realise she cooks in a black hole, this makes sense for VI

I LIKE The vr it's very interesting, and 180 means you can show all the relevant bits and still not be too distracting, not compelled to rotate all the time

I don't get why anyone would design a snack that you are supposed to pick up with your fingers in a way that you get sticky sugary stuff all over everything. In the core is where stuff you don't want to touch is supposed to go. Like with jelly filled doughnuts

CONGRATS! You have obtained the “Nice Kitchen” achievement! 🏆

This is great, I get so happy when you upload

I found it so interesting that monkey bread is math related in so many ways. Getting to see math come to life in every day objects makes it that much more interesting and inviting. I never would have gassed that the pattern of monkey bread is actually one that we see and label in math. Watching this has also inspired me to eat monkey bread. I always knew it existed but knowing the history behind it makes that much more appetizing. Plus this one looked better than anything i’ve seen before. I hope to learn more about the ways in which math affects baking.

I can't believe you one-upped your own thanksgiving series in 3 minutes

Voronoi diagrams are also the engine behind Thiessen polygons in cartographic science, used to generalize study areas around chosen points or for logistical purposes. Truly a natural mathematic beauty.

How did I not see a Vihart in my subscriptions... I live for hart.

Another great video! Keep up the great work!

Omg!! I had no hecking idea that you were still uploading!

I can smell that delicious bread from here I’m also feeling my arteries being clogged

Yay vi is back!! I love your videos!

The math, it partially surrounds us! Love the VR180. :D

I've been waiting a long time for you to talk a bit about Voronoi cells. Your delicious but too-brief video is way better than anything else out there. More please!

Quite the Mathematical Snack is the new name for my band!

Putting orbies in a clear jar and sealing it shows a very good picture of this concept

Another upload another happy year!

2:13 never look into camera :D

Much of what I like about ViHart is in the artful use of edits. We saw a faint gesture towards that here with the cookies, but it's gotta be hard to edit with the VR180.

2:21 the way she says physics absolutely killed me. Said with such disgust lmaoo

Can you make a video on how to make a scutoid

The only geometry class I want to be in 😔😔

The physics queen is back!

Why her kitchen counter in the middle of the Abyss 💀💀

Welcome back

I literally watched the whole video staring at a cabinet with a vi hart voice over about monkey bread

I don't know why but I really *love* that channel

How do you film these? You strap the camera to your neck? I think the angle is too good to be a head cam.

How do I learn more about maths through baking

gods, these VR and panoramic and 180 degree and 360 degree videos are just the bane of my online existence. x.X they crash my computer, they freeze and jump, and they give me headaches.

viharts voice has been my asmr for the last 6 years

It's cool that you experiment with videos in 180° but I feel like it doesn't add much to this video in particular.

I’m very bad at math...it’s pretty much non-existent with me now anyways, but it’s always so interesting to watch or listen to you explain :3

You have a knack for making math delicious

I just thought of an awesome video idea. I was having fun cutting up pizzas into "perfect" four pieces using a food mover as my right angle to find the vertical center of the pie. Then I guessed the center of that line to cut the pizza into quarters. Now I'm thinking that if you use a pare of tongs as a compass you could it find the true center of the line at a ninety degree to cut it into perfect quarters. So my idea is you could make a video on using math to cut the pie into different amounts for different number of people.

We love you Vihart

Good to see you back. (again.)

Vi Hart is the BEST

Scutoids yeah....let’s have to tiling and stacking fun!

This video is so COOL!!!

"Say you're me and you're goofing in cooking class" should have been the intro :D :P

Apart from novelty, I don't think the 180 camera helped this video. And the downwards angle didn't help

Happy New Year!

😎 cool 😎 I like that it’s in VR 180

You’re on khan academy!

I legit gasped

Wusthof Epicure and a Boos cutting board, nice!

got the notif while doodling in math class

the VR image stitching looks pretty trippy at some points :D

Why was I not longer subscribed to this channel? :C youtube seriously dropping the ball

Vihart is quite the mathematical snack.

Why does she only upload once a month. I love these videos.

HEY! Love your videos could you please show us how to make a Scutoid model? Love you!!

Oh my god this video is fucking amazing.

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE

I have never heard of monkeybread, but I do know what I'm having for dinner now.

I seriously just made monkey bread but i used biscuit mix instead I accedently got some glaze on the pan and my family really liked it

Woooooo love me some maths and baking!!!

MY QUEEN IS BACK!

I almost forgot to move the 3-D screen around! {thought} 'why does she have the object so far out of sight? ... OH YEA!'

I have never been so hungry because of math.

cool video. I have read a part in a book called The Slow Regard of Silent Things written by Patrick Rothfuss. In the epilogue he talks about how he thinks this book is to weird to be published. He supposedly met you and as a giant fan of Rothfuss' works I am interested on how you view his books and him as a person.

This reminds me of a short work by Johannes Kepler about snowflakes. I recommend it!

Hey it's a Vihart video!

i love it

HELP ME I did a hexaflexagon with six sides and I had blue purple brown and the same colors but as dots. And I played around with it and now the sides are kinda mixed up? Like the brown dots do have two triangles with blue dots and the blue side has two brown triangles HOW DID I DO THAT

Never knew math could look so delicious

You saying “voronoi flavor” Reminded me that green is The best flavor jello. Not lime, but green.

I've seen a cookie mishap like this before: My GF mixed powdered sugar in instead of flour. Looked just like this. Easy mistake to make if you have your supplies in plastic containers and not their original bags like we do here.

Can I recommend that if you film more of these videos in VR 180, you ensure that the center of the frame still shows the subject of what you're doing? I had to load this up on my Desktop because it was unwatchable in a mobile browser; nearly all the content was off the bottom of the screen.

I LOLed at "batch of cookie".

i love how you talk
