Hello Veritasium enjoyer
What are you referring to?
Most probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6iQrh2TK98
Thanks, I'll have a look
YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.
He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.
I know veritasium but I hadn't seen the video. Thanks, I'll check it out.
I thought I'd give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)
Thank you for being thoughtful :)
In his video, he shows that the more common answers are actually 42 and 69.
I discards them because they're picked for a reason rather than a human genuinely trying trying to pick a random number, but they're still way more common than 37.
That's because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they're funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.
