Get your keyboard distances here! (Patreon)

Why the longest English word is PAPAL and SPA is the pointiest.

Here are my files with all the distances and angles on a keyboard. http://pi-ratebay.com/files/all_keyboard_distances.txt http://pi-ratebay.com/files/all_keyboard_angles.txt If you want the original coordinates of all keys, I'm pretty sure you can find that on http://pi-ratebay.com/ Thanks to everyone who made those ridiculous Mathematics He Wrote opening titles possible. The folder was crafted by Lisa Mathers, the SUM theme was one again remixed by Howard Carter and the whole thing was directed by Alex Genn-Bash. I did all my own typing. For my word list I used "words_alpha.txt" from here: https://github.com/dwyl/english-words Here is Sam Hartburn's cross product Geogebra file: https://www.geogebra.org/m/ez7sqwxw The tshirt I'm wearing is 'Focal Point' which has sadly been discontinued by Ugmonk: https://ugmonk.com/products/focal-point Thanks to all my Patreon supporters who help make these videos possible. If you can't find your name in the credits, I'll be handing out distances over here: CORRECTIONS: - At 09:57 I say PAPAL averages 13.1cm "per journey" when I should have said "per letter". Consider this my confession. - Let me know if you spot any other mistakes! And here are most of the words mentioned in this video: MINIMUM (distance = 248.0mm, angle = 77.4°) DICHLORODIPHENYLTRICHLOROETHANE (distance = 2119.5mm, angle = 1548.0°) ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM (distance = 2031.8mm, angle = 1229.3°) SUPERINCOMPREHENSIBLENESS (distance = 1665.5mm, angle = 1090.4°) PALAPALA (distance = 1112.9mm, angle = 19.6°) PAPAL (distance = 655.7mm, angle = 6.5°) PAPA (distance = 503.3mm, angle = 0.0°) AS (distance = 19.1mm, angle = 0.0°) ASS (distance = 19.1mm, angle = 0.0°) POO (distance = 19.1mm, angle = 0.0°) POOP (distance = 38.1mm, angle = 0.0°) DEESS (distance = 43.4mm, angle = 50.9°) WEEDS (distance = 57.7mm, angle = 180.0°) WEEWEE (distance = 57.2mm, angle = 0.0°) WEEWEED (distance = 76.8mm, angle = 104.0°) DISMANTLEMENT (distance = 1124.2mm, angle = 143.3°) SPA (distance = 316.6mm, angle = 0.8°) FUZZ (distance = 162.8mm, angle = 0.9°) GAZOGENE (distance = 523.5mm, angle = 310.3°) SCHIZOGONY (distance = 638.2mm, angle = 407.0°) WAYZGOOSE (distance = 502.8mm, angle = 294.0°) OUTREACH (distance = 255.3mm, angle = 878.2°) ETHMOIDS (distance = 278.4mm, angle = 798.9°) NONMISCHIEVOUSNESS (distance = 965.9mm, angle = 1068.5°) NONSUBSTITUTIONARY (distance = 989.4mm, angle = 1038.4°) Filming and editing by Alex Genn-Bash Props by Lisa Mathers Geogebra by Sam Hartburn Music by Howard Carter Design by Simon Wright and Adam Robinson All typing by Matt Parker MATT PARKER: Stand-up Mathematician Website: http://standupmaths.com/ US book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/610964/humble-pi-by-matt-parker/ UK book: https://mathsgear.co.uk/collections/books/products/humble-pi-signed-paperback
