- Is it because it's a toy?

- - No. He's not.
- 323
- 00:21:42,428 --> 00:21:44,466
- - Well, that's exciting, isn't it?
- - Um...
- 324
- 00:21:45,303 --> 00:21:46,263
- But...
- 325
- 00:21:46,844 --> 00:21:48,349
- I should study.
- 326
- 00:21:49,719 --> 00:21:52,670
- - Are you leaving now, or...
- - Nathan. (LAUGHS)
- 327
- 00:21:53,594 --> 00:21:54,625
- He doesn't mean that.
- 328
- 00:21:55,719 --> 00:21:56,845
- Probably, yeah.
- 329
- 00:21:57,469 --> 00:21:58,500
- - Okay.
- - Well...
- 330
- 00:21:59,136 --> 00:22:00,795
- - I'm gonna go and study.
- - JULIE: Okay.
- 331
- 00:22:01,386 --> 00:22:02,512
- Well done, mate.
- 332
- 00:22:02,803 --> 00:22:04,841
- - He is pleased. He's...
- - I know he is, yeah.
- 333
- 00:22:05,969 --> 00:22:09,252
- I'm gonna have something stronger
- than a cup of tea, actually, I think.
- 334
- 00:22:09,511 --> 00:22:11,051
- - I'm gonna have a glass of wine.
- - Okay.
- 335
- 00:22:11,177 --> 00:22:12,138
- Would you like...
- 336
- 00:22:12,261 --> 00:22:13,731
- I should probably shoot off.
- 337
- 00:22:13,844 --> 00:22:15,124
- Okay, no, that's fine.
- 338
- 00:22:15,261 --> 00:22:16,802
- But I mean, if you're gonna have one.
- 339
- 00:22:24,594 --> 00:22:27,131
- Actually, I was thinking maybe,
- you know you'd like to...
- 340
- 00:22:27,927 --> 00:22:30,250
- To join us next month,
- 341
- 00:22:30,386 --> 00:22:31,630
- take him to the airport.
- 342
- 00:22:32,469 --> 00:22:34,721
- I know that would make Nathan happy.

- (CONVERSING INDISTINCTLY)
- 344
- 00:22:41,219 --> 00:22:43,187
- I should probably tell you before they...
- 345
- 00:22:43,677 --> 00:22:45,645
- I'm taking a bit of a break from work.
- 346
- 00:22:46,094 --> 00:22:48,381
- Uh, it's a bit of a forced break.
- 347
- 00:22:48,511 --> 00:22:50,668
- It's a bit like I'm being fired, basically.
- 348
- 00:22:52,302 --> 00:22:53,298
- I'm sorry.
- 349
- 00:22:53,677 --> 00:22:55,668
- But I wanted to say to you
- even though I'm not working
- 350
- 00:22:55,677 --> 00:22:58,522
- for the school any more, I'd really
- like to carry on teaching Nathan.
- 351
- 00:22:58,636 --> 00:23:00,887
- - Really?
- - Yeah. I mean, if that's all right with you?
- 352
- 00:23:01,969 --> 00:23:04,011
- - That would be amazing.
- - Obviously for no money.
- 353
- 00:23:04,136 --> 00:23:06,542
- Oh! Jesus Christ!

- Oh, my God!
- 356

- That's a bit of a weird one.
- 357
- 00:23:14,677 --> 00:23:16,595
- - Thanks for the drink and stuff.
- - Not at all.
- 358
- 00:23:17,135 --> 00:23:19,260
- - Don't worry about it. All right.
- - Yeah, no, good.
- 359
- 00:23:19,510 --> 00:23:21,419

- We were just talking, Nathan.
- 362
- 00:23:38,427 --> 00:23:40,146
- I was looking at Jupiter.
- 363
- 00:23:42,052 --> 00:23:43,427
- I didn't do it on purpose.
- 364
- 00:23:45,427 --> 00:23:46,458
- It was just...
- 365
- 00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:51,711
- It was just nice, you know,
- to have someone to talk to.
- 366
- 00:23:53,219 --> 00:23:54,807
- For once. For me.

- What do you say?
- 407

- - Thank you.
- - Well, I used to use them,
- 408
- 00:26:36,884 --> 00:26:38,129
- so they're probably cursed.
- 409
- 00:26:38,259 --> 00:26:40,552

- you of home or something.

- - Teaching, was it?
- - Yes.

- Yeah. At what university? I can't...
- 429

- They won six golds again last year.
- 464
- 00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:39,894
- Yes, although upon recent evidential proof
- I'd expect this to possibly change,
- 465
- 00:29:40,008 --> 00:29:43,268
- if I'm allowed to split infinitives,
- to possibly change.

- Which I believe I technically am now.

- Of course, one of the most famous
- infinitive splits of all time

- came in the introductory lines
- of Star Trek, "to boldly go," and...

- I think if the writers of a popular

- can get away with it for 40 years,
- then, really, any of us can.

- 484
- 00:30:33,383 --> 00:30:35,137
- Right, away you go, driver.
- 485
- 00:30:36,050 --> 00:30:41,727
- Now, you are 16 of the cleverest
- young brains in this country.
- 486
- 00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:46,170
- Now, outside you might be
- considered nerds or geeks
- 487
- 00:30:46,299 --> 00:30:48,836
- or whatever the insult du jour might be.
- 488
- 00:30:49,091 --> 00:30:51,936
- But here, you are among kindred spirits.
- 489
- 00:30:53,341 --> 00:30:55,664
- Now, assuming you're capable
- of basic arithmetic,
- 490
- 00:30:55,674 --> 00:30:59,811
- you'll know that there are six places
- available yet more than six of you.
- 491
- 00:31:00,508 --> 00:31:03,767
- Which means that this, to a large extent,
- is about whittling you down.
- 492
- 00:31:04,508 --> 00:31:08,170
- Now, we will be training with four other
- national teams in Taiwan.
- 493
- 00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:10,467
- And after some
- delicate diplomatic negotiation,
- 494
- 00:31:10,591 --> 00:31:13,791
- I can confirm that the Chinese
- will be one of them.
- 495
- 00:31:14,674 --> 00:31:16,713
- Now we should, of course, be cordial
- 496
- 00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:20,634
- as it falls to us to host
- the competition this year, in Cambridge.
- 497
- 00:31:20,758 --> 00:31:22,796
- But that doesn't mean we can't be ruthless.
- 498
- 00:31:23,383 --> 00:31:27,673
- Now, I want you up there
- with the Chinese, top of the table.
- 499
- 00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,663
- And I will consider it an abhorrent
- failure to include a candidate
- 500
- 00:31:32,674 --> 00:31:34,547
- who does not win a medal.
- 501
- 00:31:35,924 --> 00:31:40,215
- Be under no illusion.
- This is all about winning.
- 502
- 00:31:41,674 --> 00:31:43,677

- 507
- 00:32:02,924 --> 00:32:04,797
- I like the Fibonacci sequence, too.
- 508
- 00:32:06,049 --> 00:32:07,803
- Invaluable for music compositions.
- 509
- 00:32:09,091 --> 00:32:10,181
- So you're new.

- How's that going?
- 512
- 00:32:17,757 --> 00:32:19,915
- Okay, so you're the shy type.
- 513
- 00:32:22,341 --> 00:32:23,758
- Makes a nice change, to be honest.
- 514
- 00:32:24,882 --> 00:32:28,091
- Most of these weirdos just wanna show off
- about how much maths junk they know.
- 515

- What?
- 516

- Nothing.

- They do all seem good at maths, though.
- 519

- REBECCA: Yeah.
- 520
- 00:32:42,632 --> 00:32:46,638
- Here you are neither weird
- nor the best mathematician, I'm afraid.
- 521

- to describe a unified field theory
- 524

- for the four fundamental forces of nature.
- 525

- Are you one of the fundamental
- forces of nature, Luke?
- 526

- No.
- 527

- But you are terribly gifted, aren't you?
- 528
- 00:33:41,715 --> 00:33:44,974
- Yes. Gifted but not arrogant, Isaac.
- 529

- 556

- Mmm, I love cracking unprovable theorems
- in my free time.

- Face-up cards... Zero.

- And initially it would be a sequence
- of ones as the cards are all face down.
- 910

- But after a while it would look

- And, as we can see, that
- is a binary number.

- 01:01:32,039 --> 01:01:35,618
- And a move that consists of turning
- a face-down card face up
- 913
- 01:01:35,747 --> 01:01:38,947
- and the card immediately to the right of it
- 914
- 01:01:40,247 --> 01:01:43,826
- could be that a one followed by a one,
- 915
- 01:01:44,955 --> 01:01:47,670
- will turn into a zero followed by a zero.
- 916

- Or it could be a one followed by a zero

- my brain works differently.

- Why it matters?
- 1342
- 01:41:26,608 --> 01:41:28,362
- It matters because...
- 1343
- 01:41:30,858 --> 01:41:31,854
- Well, when...
- 1344
- 01:41:33,275 --> 01:41:35,408
- When somebody loves you,
- 1345
- 01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,607
- it means that they see something in you...
- 1346
- 01:41:43,775 --> 01:41:47,283
- That they think is worth something.
- So it sort of...
- 1347
- 01:41:49,233 --> 01:41:50,987
- It adds value to you.
- 1348
- 01:41:55,691 --> 01:41:57,102
- But it can be hard...
- 1349
- 01:41:59,191 --> 01:42:02,771
- You know,
- when you love someone and they...
- 1350
- 01:42:02,900 --> 01:42:06,562
- They show no sign that
- they love you back, then it's…
- 1351
- 01:42:07,275 --> 01:42:09,989
- Then it's unequal. Or, um...
- 1352
- 01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,031
- When... When someone you love...
- 1353
- 01:42:19,941 --> 01:42:21,980
- ls subtracted from you...
- 1354
- 01:42:25,525 --> 01:42:30,029
- Then it feels like, you know,
- that your value is less than it was.
- 1355
- 01:42:30,858 --> 01:42:32,612
