The Tip of Pascal's Iceberg #shorts
Blaise Pascal may have published Traité du triangle arithmétique in 1665, but the world knew about his triangle centuries before. Scholars in India, Persia, China, and even Germany played with the possibilities of a pattern of binomial coefficients, but Pascal brought it to the broader world. Pascal’s Triangle is easy to construct by hand; just start with 1 and do the arithmetic.
As Pascal’s Triangle expands, it reveals mathematical patterns we value elsewhere, from the simple whole number line and the primacy of 1 to a succession of the powers of 2 and the digits of 11’s exponential sequence. And lurking within is a classic Fibonacci sequence in which each successive digit is the sum of its two predecessors.
But one of the most interesting elements of Pascal’s Triangle is the way it lays bare the possible outcomes of any series of simple coin flips. Like everything else in Pascal’s Triangle, it’s in there if you know where to look.

In the vast universe of online entertainment, few shows have made as much impact as "=3". Hosted initially by the charismatic Ray William Johnson, this YouTube web series quickly became a staple for comedy lovers around the globe. With its unique format that combined viral video commentary with sharp wit, "=3" captured the hearts of millions. As it evolved through various hosts like Robby Motz and Kaja Martin, its legacy continued to influence internet culture in profound ways.
The show's inception can be traced back to a time when YouTube was burgeoning with creativity and innovation. Ray William Johnson's dynamic presence and clever humor created an unmatched viewing experience that resonated with audiences seeking laughter and entertainment. His ability to dissect viral videos with humorous insights made "=3" not just a show but a weekly ritual for many fans.
After Ray stepped down in March 2014, Robby Motz took over hosting duties, bringing his own flair while maintaining the essence of what made "=3" so beloved. Although some viewers were skeptical at first, Robby's charm eventually won them over, keeping the fan base engaged and entertained. However, transitions are never easy in long-running shows; when Kaja Martin became the host in July 2015, she faced challenges in retaining viewership amidst changing internet trends.
