@

@CloudCuckooCountry10 years ago Now if only I had friends interested enough in maths and baking to do this with me... 1133
@

@liana54948 years ago okay but Hexaflexacookies needs to be a thing 472
@

@BorisRDeyanov10 years ago This video should be called "Baking cookies with mathematicians," or mathemagicians, whichever applies to you 322
@

@aisalus44289 years ago ...Am I the only one that wants the recipe to the cookies and the glue? 332
@

@Treemotan9 years ago The entire time, I was just like.
"Give the dog a cookie."
"Just give the dog a cookie"
"GIVE THE POOR DOG A COOKIE" 642

@BoHista238 years ago Damn, now I want to make a three dimensional cookie made out of hexagons. 706
@

@LazerLord109 years ago This video made me really happy for some reason. Maybe it's because it combined my two favorite things; Math and cookies! 92
@

@TehSuperHero10 years ago Who else would feel incredibly lost hanging out with these ladies on a Saturday, and just want the damn cookies? 107

I love it 17
@

@chayanika81557 years ago this is one of her videos which I would rate as The best. it's just so awesome to see her friends, who are just as awesome as she is. wow! must be wonderful. the only thing that I felt sad about, though,was when I found out that the by chance thing was just a show,and they had actually planned this cookie math project. ... 3

@5bluepenguins9 years ago Say your me watching viharts videos in math class instead of paying attention. 172
@

@kellybyrd30689 years ago In the Backround You could play fetch with Walter but he wouldn't bring it back...
I don't know why that was so funny 30
@

@theWeaverofTales10 years ago Haha, oh Vi, you fail at being unsmart... :) And we're glad. 10

@CassesVultus10 years ago But where are the snakes? snake snake? 77
@

@lindsaylagola61848 years ago Okay but let's be honest how many of you would do the same thing as Walter bc Ik I would 61

@yoanna56468 years ago I wish i lived with you just to listen and watch you mentioning maths in every mundane activity you do . It's so beautiful 4

@SunnyTheGentleFox10 years ago Vihart, why must you torment us with your delicious geometric baked goods? 7

@matthew.garrett9 years ago nom rhombus and Walter the Walter Dog made laugh so hard 18
@

@aripocki10 years ago You should make more "dough"decahedrons! 25
@

@NNOTM10 years ago The hexagons have an apiarodic tiling? Like a portmanteau of apiary and periodic? No? Okay. 20
@

@mailboxhannah10 years ago why can't my math class be like this... 6

@

@filzilla10 years ago Hello Dear Vihart,
I just discovered your work on youtube today thanks to a composer friend for the link. I have never seen anyone make 12 tone music composition so easily understood or better composed and performed in such a simple way. This is genius.
You rock kiddo. Your level of understanding both science and art is uncommon and appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful mind in action. Love those doodles too.
Wishing you all the best. ...

@avagriffin23508 years ago I am going to watch this channel all winter break. My teacher said we were learning geometry. Yes ! Finally I watched you tube for educational purposes, 1

@AGFbydesign10 years ago it has been so long since you posted a video. when i saw this on my homepage i got really excited 14

@merrickwildon786610 years ago Vi Hart is back! Hooray!
I now have the strength to doodle in math class again! 2
@

@DePieks10 years ago YOU'RE BACK! I've missed your videos :) 17
@

@kmarth28358 years ago I am not sure why I found this video so funny, but to me it was hilarious. I loved all of her goofy touches in the background like the drawings and labeling. Although listening to all the different names for the shapes was interesting, it was also extremely confusing. She sounds like an extremely smart but also super cool person! what intrigued me about this video was that it was about cookies, but by the end I was more interested in all of the different patterns and shapes that they made. ...
@

@meiguess96245 years ago You make baking cookies nerdy. I love it.
@

@alphazero92410 years ago Wow, this is crazy. After seeing the John Conway video on numberphile where he mentioned hexaflexagons, I looked to see if vi had posted any videos recently, but there hadn't been one in three months, so I was disappointed. Then I went to get lunch and came back to find one had been posted. ... 4
@

@Jodabomb2410 years ago Wow.
I have no other words but wow. 5
@

@sandybear39555 years ago I dont know how I found this channel, idc how. I need you to post more, this is so interesting 1
@

@gracieluna20578 years ago Walter, the Walter dog, saved you from the abyss of math you were spiraling into. You think he was just being a dog, but really he was pulling you back from the complicated math that you were subconsciously immersing yourself in, being pulled by a unceasing desire to make the cookies mathematically correct. Who knows what might have happened if he did not. Anyways, cool video😃! ... 1
@

@wikiwikiohana10 years ago Your videos always make my day and the bonus was seeing the Atomic Starburst dishes...I have the same and love them dearly!
@

@Kai-fl1se8 years ago i love how yall think deep into simple things in life, im really interested! 5
@

@sophiasizer12768 years ago I don't get any of this, all I know is that there making complicated cookies 46
@

@martinbroman401010 years ago oh, dogs.. they'll eat anything mathematical! Especially if it's in the taste of a cookie. 9
@

@corvividgacha3516 years ago Being a mathematician looks so cool! I didn't know there was that much creativity in math until I saw Vihart
@

@kaytlynphillips17248 years ago Your the first person i have ever seen that makes math look and sound fun.
It's inspiring, thank you. 1
@

@thunderwolf11513 years ago you know that thing about someone walking down a normal street block with a bunch of experts on various stuff, so that the experts can point out stuff they wouldn't have seen and explain it to them and allow them to appreciate stuff that would usually be very mundane? that's what's going on here i think ... 3
@

@jacobphillips96637 years ago Its so nerdy and I love it. I need people to do this with
@

@gingersnap12128 years ago I wish I understood math enough to understand what's going on but i'm glad they're having fun 1

@skiesramm93498 years ago I don't care about the math, I just want to see COOKIES! 8
@

@guatyful10 years ago I am disappointed by the lack of microwaves in this 5
@

@laureniannotta590110 years ago This video was so cool and interesting to me. I loved how it took something that we all love to do (bake) and made math fun out of it. Also, it made me realize that everything involves math. Whether it is shapes, measurements, lines, etc., there is math all around us no matter where we are. I was confused by all of the big names for the different shapes and figures, but it was still so cool to me. I want to try and make some of the structures she made with cookie dough. I bet it won't work out as good but it is worth a try. And I loved how they made their own cookie cutters! Never thought of that before! ... 1
@

@ehhhhhhhhhh10 years ago mmmm... continuously differentiable... 12
@

@Hugh.Manatee10 years ago Hmmmmm... If I close my eyes, I can smell the cookies! 3
@

@krystal-animations8 months ago Vihart trying not to do math while baking cookies is like me trying not to make any characters with truama or angst while making a story, it's impossible, it'll happen whether you want it to or not

@penny5306 years ago If i did this much maths in a day, I wouldn't be conscious. 1

@RONANAWAY8 years ago Wow. Nerdsss
jk. I rather like this tbh 41

@Fernando9Ibralast year They way you said rhombus did something to me….I think I finally like math now 1

@DavidFormosa10 years ago It has been a while between ***** videos and I'm so glad that she has posted this one. 7
@

@MissBeeBonnet5 months ago Walter was trying to save them from themselves 😂
“Look. THIS is how you enjoy a cookie without math. Like this.”
@

@lolzorgfykys10 years ago My brain really hurt after watching this video... 13
@

@chloechoate7 years ago No one has ever taught me true mathematics before, but you have! I feel as if math in school just doesn't describe how beautiful geometry truly is. You are really an inspiration and a true creator! I'm definitely subscribing and wish I could have found this channel sooner! ...
@

@irishleprcon10 years ago This is a great video! :) I never really think about how math is present is out day to day lives. I love baking cookies and I now understand how I can make anything and any shape I can possibly think of! This is such a smart and intelligent video with many great ideas! I am definitely going to try some of these cookie shapes because they are so intricate and fun to look at. Thanks for posting this video. :) ...
