Find yourself in the Net Credits. (Patreon)

You may have noticed at the end of my latest video (about nets that fold into multiple shapes) there are some scrolling credits at the end. I had formatted the 2,263 area-22 nets in a spreadsheet when I was looking for which one was the most christmass-tree-y and realised I could use that as the Patreon credits!

Everyone's name appears in a single square of one of the grids: sorted in order of how close your name is to having 22 letters. Shout-out to the five Patreon supporters who have exactly 22 letters in their name! (Harsha Chandrashekariah, Andrew Keenan Richardson, Günther Maximlian Gaßner, Tennyson Taylor Bardwell and Floris Bob van Elzelingen)

I didn't count spaces or punctuation marks in the letter counts (although, I think I did accidentally count underscores). But if you cannot find your name: comment below and I'll let you know which number net (counting from the top with net number 1) you are in.

Can the Same Net Fold into Two Shapes?

If you cut out the net from the card and solve a fold: send me a photo! Maybe hang it on your tree as a decoration. To receive a physical card you officially need to be a "statistically significant" supporter (or higher) on Patreon by the end of 06 December 2022. And all supporters get emailed a digital copy! https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths This is the tweet from Jun Mitani in 2017: https://twitter.com/jmitani/status/870414535034757120 And the recent retweet by Vincent Pantaloni I saw: http://twitter.com/panlepan/status/1582175737213509633 Huge thanks to Ryuhei Uehara for did much of this research and was very helpful then I emailed. You can see their page (with all 2263 nets) here: http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~uehara/etc/origami/nets/index-e.html All the publications I waved around: 2007 - "Geometric Folding Algorithms" by Erik Demaine and Joseph O'Rourke 2008 - "Polygons Folding to Plural Incongruent Orthogonal Boxes" by Ryuhei Uehara 2011 - "Common Developments of Several Different Orthogonal Boxes" by Zachary Abel, Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine, Hiroaki Matsui, Günter Rote and Ryuhei Uehara 2013 - "Common Developments Of Three Incongruent Orthogonal Boxes" by Toshihiro Shirakawa and Ryuhei Uehara 2015 - "Common Developments of Three Incongruent Boxes of Area 30" by Dawei Xu, Takashi Horiyama, Toshihiro Shirakawa, and Ryuhei Uehara Here is Geometric Folding Algorithms on Amazon if you want your own copy to wave around. But it costs 'text-book money'. https://amzn.to/3OYDXrF Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters who funded those crazy nets I was sticking together. Support me and help me make more ridiculous shapes (also: videos). https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths CORRECTIONS - None yet, let me know if you spot anything!

Erik Demaine was my advisor in college! He's one of the coolest and funnest people to talk to, I would love to see a chat between the two of you.

Gregor Shapiro

In the net name s, What do x and y mean? Where is Gregor Shapiro?

standupmaths

The x and y are just the size of the bounding box which fits around the net (that is to say: how wide and how tall it is). Your name appears in the 32nd net down, which is a x=4 y=11 net.

standupmaths

He's great! I've bumped into him in person once I think (I mean, definitely once but there may be other times I'm forgetting). I'm sure he'll be in a SUM video sooner or later.

LifeSizeTeddyBear

Coincidentally, Ryuhei Uehara's talk for G4G14 was published yesterday. More polyomino-related goodness.

René E

I didn't expect to enjoy this topic as much as I did, very cool. I guess I'm too new of Patreon to be on this yet, couldn't find my name.

Frank Gevaerts

It helps that I don't have to count the letters in my name, as the number is the same as the day of the month I was born and the sum of the positions in the alphabet (starting at 1) of my initials. Unlrelated to that, 13 is my favourite number and I don't believe in numerology. (for people looking, the youtube desktop web page allows moving by one frame using the , and . keys)

Brian Fredrickson

Matt got me half way through when he said the video was over and then said “don’t check the time code” just as I was looking at the time code..

standupmaths

What a coincidence! I sadly didn't make it to G4G14 but I'm there most years.

standupmaths

I'm afraid not! I made the credit a few days ago on the 27 November. But you'll be in there next time!

standupmaths

I forget to mention the the , and . commands on youtube. They are super useful. Almost as good as the "k" key.

Lee Volante

After being in a room for 30 mins with scissors and sellotape in December, I was waiting for Matt's wife to enquire how he was getting on wrapping Christmas presents. "Drat, distracted by those cuboids again..."

Tahg

Found mine, appearing for exactly 6 frames (0.24 seconds). I wouldn't want to count from the start, as mine is like 10th from the end, with 3 and a partial blank. Also the video cuts off with a net only 1/2 scrolled on screen, so not sure if any were left off completely.

Leak

I bet that last one was the new Amazon Certified Waste-Free(TM) Packaging where you can use one basic box for three different sizes of packages... certainly not Frustration-Free(TM), though...

Dan Oberste

What is the lower limit of patreons’ support that would justify spending an entire day folding cuboids? 🤣🤣🤣

standupmaths

You are in net 110. There are literally 1000s more nets left off completely, I just added a few blank ones to complete the scroll.

standupmaths

I'll be honest: I don't need much convincing.

Pascal B.

Yay, I found myself. :D

Dan Oberste

At least my name really was in this video. I wasted HOURS searching for my name from the "make it rain" gun the last time. 🤣🤣🤣

Brian Forrest

I should've used my full name. 23 letters. Couldn't find mine.

Lawry McCarthy

I am so old I found myself in the '70s, but I found myself again when I am in my 70s. ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ) Last year you gave me a great YT video to embed in my Christ-mass WebCard, you have done it again, thanks.

hong mao lan tu qi xia zhuan

Wouldn't it be easier to find configurations by using the edges used for the uv unwrapping, but in reverse by reducing the problem to finding the right "skeleton" of edges that extrudes into the grids that fold into boxes?

Blue 5alamander

Am I there under my old name "Kirit Sælensminde" or my new name?

Joshua van der Merwe

I still get so excited hunting for my name in the ending credits, this was another amazing video!!!! Had so much fun watching :)

Nick Ramstead

As I was watching this video, I wondered if anyone has looked into seeing if there exists a net that can form two different topologies. Can a net that folds into a cuboid also be folded into a torus?

Roy Eltham

Was it end of day Dec 6th UK time or end of day for us on the west coast USA? I hope I got in in time for a physical card!

LifeSizeTeddyBear

And there's another G4G14 video just posted a couple of hours ago of a talk by Bob Hearn about nets of polycubes, specifically ones where the nets are rectangles: https://youtu.be/ZhoPkkMyxEM And Ryuhei Uehara gets another mention. Interesting stuff!

Patrick Ireland

I joined Patreon at the end of the last day for the card. Does anyone know if it's to late for a virtual copy?

Roy Eltham

I got my physical card today! Thanks so much Matt!

Aescula Janus

I don't know if Matt's still looking at these, but I don't know where else to get in contact. I couldn't figure out folding the cuboid, so I just used it as decoration on its own. https://i.imgur.com/u2lOx3h.jpeg

Michael Brown

That non-orthogonal cube with sides the root of 5... is that tipping into phi-country? Is that a golden cube?

Adam Wishneusky

Just became a patron. Mind redoing the video to add my name and reupload? 🤪
