Rupert's snub cube and other Math Holes

There are so many good things in this video! The concept of ‘Platonic horror’ is going to be a useful one, I feel:

> I think that what really titillates me is when the problem is beautiful, but the solution is upsetting. I call this a Platonic horror.

Every year I eagerly await tom7's video for SIGBOVIK. He is such a brilliant and funny person, and everything he shares is such a treat. I love his work and his play, and I think most folks on HN will too.

If you ever want to find out how overconfident you are in your own abilities, watch this video and be humbled.

What in gods name…

And then there’s call of duty in the middle of the paper…

Every year Tom7 gives us another enigma, and this year it's a real enigma of an enigma.

Omg I love tom7, I want to BE him. Every year another amazing video!

tom7 is the embodiment of masculine ideals. He's got the brain. He's got the muscles. He's got the GPU. He's starred into the abyss and abyss blinked first. What more could a potential mate want?

He's a polymath's polymath. A true renaissance man in the best possible meaning of the word.

Highly recommended channel. Tom makes obscure and/or provably useless topics approachable and entertaining.

Now I want a snub cube made from tungsten.
