How to memorize song lyrics with MATH
This video analyzes Donald Knuth's semi-serious paper "The Complexity of Songs" and what happens when it's interpreted as a way to pick which songs to memorize. Join me on this surreal journey in which the French are out for (more) blood, modern drugs lead to demands for less memory space, and Stick Figure Donald Knuth is proven a liar on more than one occasion.

The table of bytes shows 55 as 5 bits, but it should be 6 (assuming the standard binary encoding of integers).

Nice analogy.

the music was detracting from the narration and i think that fast talking lots of jokes content doesn't allow the exposition to land before the last minute switch to computational complexity and i was left not knowing what was so neat

I wish you had spent more time explaining how the number of refrains lead to the graphs that were shown. The whole video also felt a little fast paced.

Great video. You have a really good sense of humor. The video is easy to follow and entertaining. The visuals are excellent, and the script is well-written.
I hope you continue making more videos about computer science in disguise!
