Did luckily capture the very fleeting moment we were on “exactly” π million subscribers.
And look at the time... Swear I didn’t notice this until afterwards. Total fluke.
Today marks 10 years since the first Numberphile video...
So we went back (with @jamesgrime) to where it all began for a video about the number 10

I only met the legendary John Conway one time, but he generously spoke on all sorts of topics.
His honest and revealing thoughts on life -and death - seem all the more poignant today.

He leaves an incredible legacy to mathematics.
It just happened - we reached Pi Million subscribers!
And here’s a video for it: youtu.be/__UlMppZZgs
(Maybe get a scrap of paper and see how many people you recognise in the video without using the cheat notes)
3,141,592
There are two types of people...
Those who watch a Numberphile video and think “fair enough... but what’s the point?”
And those who drop what they’re doing immediately and write a 2000-line piece of code to re-create the video’s underlying principles?
