Anyone else rewatching all of these videos for the millionth time? Anyone else wish Wil comes back with his own channel and bring back Tabletop? Me too
The typical ignorant internet-comment... Well, I guess it depends on which definition of irrational numbers you are using, but in general, i is not irrational. Being rational or irrational applies to real numbers. If z=a+ib, then it can be applied to a and b respectively, but not to z itself. (Although, if you are interested, check out gaussian integers.) TL;DR Being not rational ≠ irrational. Being real and not rational = irrational.
Holy Crap Phil LaMarr. He's Kit Fisto, Bail Organa, Samurai Jack, Green Lantern, Wilt, Hermes, Static Shock, Osmosis Jones, Baxter Stockman, The Earth King, Bolbi from Jimmy Neutron wait BOLBI FROM JIMMY NEUTRON OH THAT THERE JUST CHANGED THE GAME.
It's Bill Charlie Percy Fred + George Ron Ginny And then Ginny and Harry had 3 kids: James Albus Lily (godchild: Teddy Lupin) And Ron and Hermione had 2 kids: Rose Hugo Percy and Audrey had 2 (?) kids: Lucy Molly II Bill and Fleur: Victiore Dominique Louis George and Angelina: Roxanne Fred II Charlie's single and Fred is (spoiler) dead.
I know that it reads as "the second" (Especially since Fred didn't have any kids so it wouldn't be "Fred Jr."), but it just amuses me to imagine George and Angelina's child being called "Fred Two."
If you think about it, Bill was only in a couple of the books, and Charlie was only mentioned, he never made a physical appearance. At least if I remember it correctly, I haven't read the books in a couple of years.
Platypus of Death Yeah you might remember Charlie as the one who works with dragons in Romania and therefore helps out with the 2nd task in book 4. He also shows up in a few other places and although we don't physically see him in the first book he does help relocate Norbert.
Right? I guess they didn't understand just how fast that'd have to be. I'm pretty sure if a Bee could flap 6000 times per second it'd rip a hole in the space time continuum and become the first time traveling being in history... wait... maybe THAT'S where all the bees are disappearing to. They've succeeded at time travel. 😳
"I know nascar is the most popular sport...so i'm going to go with a percentage greater than 50% which would be impossible for any sport other than nascar"
I find all sports horrifically boring (2 exceptions, soccer/football, and women's volleyball) ...but I know some trivia. NASCAR stands for the National Association of Stock CAr Racing. (thank you L. Ron Hubbard).
Although I couldn't find the Family Edition of Wits and Wagers anymore I did get the Party Edition of Wits and Wagers because I saw this video. I try and play with other friends and it has proven fun. Thanks Wil Wheaton and Table Top. When is there going to be a Table Top episode on Big Bang Theory to expose Table Top to a wider audience?
You guys have helped me get my guys into B-Games. I also took a football to the eye, but my twin boys seem to be jockish at times so the Board Game stuff is a good balance.
They got the Weasley question and I thought everyone was going to put seven. Then Wil admitted not having HP knowledge, so I thought everyone but will. Then everyone was counting, so I thought someone would probably put six because everyone forgets Percy. Then NO ONE put seven! "Who's Charlie?" "Charlie's the oldest..." ...no he's not...
Binerexis Perhaps not, but everyone was certainly acting as though Veronica was an expert, and the guy at the end of the table (I haven't watched this in a while, so I forgot his name) was confident when he picked the question, because he read it to his kids.
My question is (MAJOR SPOILERS, I'm returning a lot so it shouldn't show up if you don't click Read more) Is Jimmy now technically fully correct, seeing as Fred died in book 7? Or was this game made before the 7th book?
Not only did you lose nerd cred for not having read Harry Potter, Wil. You also lose some because i is not an irrational number; it is an imaginary or complex number.
EdwardBerner i^(2) = -1 which is the same thing as sqrt(-1)^(2)=-1 sooooo. i^2 = -1 sqrt both sides sqrt(i^2)= sqrt(-1) LHS sqrt cancels with power of 2 leaving i = sqrt(-1) i really dont understand what you were going with this.
SPD My point was, that root operations behaves a little differently when complex numbers are involved. Your example uses the regular square root, which is only defined for numbers larger or equal to zero. In the complex plane, every root operation has as many "correct answers" as the number of the root you are taking. There are always two square roots, three third roots, four fourth roots and so on (except for the number zero). There is no good way to single out one specific result from these to be the "correct" one, so the square root of -1 is both +i and -i. So, defining i so that i^2 = -1 is cleaner. Also, here's why your example does not work: 1 = 1 (-1)^2 = 1 | sqrt both sides sqrt((-1)^2) = sqrt(1) | sqrt cancels with power of 2 -1 = 1
EdwardBerner 1 = 1 My example does work the reason why you got -1 = 1 is because you only worked on the LHS and completely ignored the RHS. but if you do the same thing you did to the LHS and just work the RHS you still get -1 = -1. (-1)^2 = 1 | sqrt both sides sqrt((-1)^2) = sqrt(1) -1 = sqrt(1) || sqrt(1) = sqrt(-1 * -1)
16:03 I was the exact same way. The only thing I've ever stolen was a set of crayons from a restaurant, and I felt so guilty I eventually sent them back and haven't stolen a single thing since.
Oh gawd... I can't breathe....this episode is by far the funniest I've seen of TableTop (and that is saying something 'cause I've died watching other ones though this one has made me cry and my sides hurt!!!)
“Jimmy (being at 15 mind you) gets two putting him at 16” ...um wil, last I checked, 15+2 doesn’t equal 16, it equals 17. Meaning jimmy was the sole winner. Math facts!
great inside look into how the game is played, though I would have like to hear everyone's opinions on the game as a whole and if its party sustainable?
Hey Wil, I just thought I'd go beyond a simple thumbs up for this one. I really love what you're doing with this series, and I've actually purchased this game as a result of your video. I watched this one with a not-exactly-a-gamer friend, and we were able to connect a little better because of it. Thanks for the work you're putting into this.
I have to question if any of them have ever seen an 18oz package of Oreos. Because there are 3 even rows meaning their answers divide into: 8, 6, 12, and 20. And if you think about it like that the 60 doesn't seem so weird.
Nascar doesn't necessarily have to be over 50%, but Football cannot be over 50%. If football is 50.001%, Nacar would be less than 49.999%, therefore making football the most liked sport.
Dan Plays Games It would depend on if the survey data was exclusive or not, if they asked people to only write down their most favorite sport then what you say is correct. However if they ask people to list all the sports they like then you could have 1 sport be liked by say 80% of the population while another is liked by only 60%, it would just mean that there are a lot of people who like BOTH sport 1 and 2.
jagofett78studios *facepalm* Why? Why do so many people make this same mistake? It's still called "football," it's only "futbol" in Spanish. Go to England, they don't call the sport soccer there (well, some might, but most don't), they don't call it futbol there, they call it football. The exact same spelling and pronunciation as the American sport with the egg shaped not-ball.
Nascar is the "most popular". The percent is how many people list it as their favorite. Different metrics. It could be that almost everyone likes Nascar, but has something they like better, whereas Football might be highly polarizing, which the largest favorite group, but no one outside that group liking it at all.
I remembered the ratio was about 2 Indians to 1 Pilgrim, but I actually guessed too high because I forgot to compensate for half the Pilgrims dying the winter before.
HOW COULD YOU NOT GET THE WEASLEY CHILDREN????? There is so much shame... it is done.... Also, Wil, "my children grew out of it" - one does not simply one out of Harry Potter!
seraphiccandy21 He was also just a random guy. If you get a girlfriend at first she's also only gonna be a random guy. Dude, don't be rude just because you're not friendly... wait wut?
ilusao1111 Wait, what? If you get a girlfriend at first she's only gonna be a random guy O_o Um girls can't be guys unless they...you know....have an operation to change that...and what does that even have to do with anything??

I have to admit as a serious Harry Potter fan, I was kind of mad that they got the Weasley question wrong. Not at all because they didn't actually know the correct answer, but because they all bragged about how much they knew it and talked about how much of a huge fan they were, when it came out that they knew absolutely nothing. Because really, for any true fan, that's a pretty basic fact, that they all claimed to know, but didn't. The only one that admitted the truth was Wil, so he gets mad respect. I'd rather you admit not to be a fan then falsely claim to be one. I respect his honesty for it. Now, bring on the flames for my honesty. :)
Ok, I'm 25, but when Wil said "Turn the radio down, pull up your pants, and take that sticker off your hat because you look stupid." I started slow clapping! It ain't being old, it's being MEN!
they also placed "i" after 1 but before every other number, implying that you can compare complex numbers as they are which you can't. they either should have put "i" before 1 (measuring the total value of each complex number's real part which would give 0 for "i") or under/over 1 (measuring the euclidean distance from the origin which is equal to 1).
Heard about this again on Phenome-nerds I like the way they described it. It’s trivia, but without the losers feeling like they’re dumb. Because you see everyone’s answers, you can gauge your knowledge on people in your group who are probably more knowledgeable in it.
For the bee wing flaps per second, you can just think about the approximate pitch of a buzz, and keep in mind A above middle C is 440 Hz. So yeah, around 200 something sounds right.
This was the first time I've ever seen Veronica on anything and she gained a new fan. Her reactions were equal parts hilarious and adorable. And adorable cussing is the best lol.
TheSwamper--in the non family edition there is a felt board you lay the players answer board out on. The placement gives each answer odds. The playrs have chips that they then use to place a wager on the answer you believe to be closest. If you win you receive poker chips. Hence the wager part of the title wits and wagers :)
Jimmy Labrecque Wil even says he goes over 16 but since 16 is MAX he cant have 17 points so it still a "tie" since they are playing by the rules and the numbering is only UP TO 16 try paying attention.
A series of seven fantasy novels written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The series chronicles the adventures of a young wizard, Harry Potter, the titular character, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who aims to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world, subjugate non-magical people, and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter.
Honestly, Wil, you don't lose ANY nerd points for not reading Harry Potter, because honestly they weren't a very well written series. I suppose you could lose some geek points though. *shrug*
Every time the cute little "time passing" theme song comes up, I imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger singing along. If you listen really closely, the little "dooma dooma dooma dooma dooma" sounds like him saying "tumor tumor tumor tumor" from kindergarten cop. Awesome.
I can't see Phil LaMarr without thinking "Uh., let me get two hamburgers with just pickles, two cheeseburgers and another cheeseburger everything on them...."
