Pretty cool Jim...I really respect the work that you do.

Fantastic fun. James looks so young (in a good way)! The best I've seen.

He is young (?)

That actually sounded lovely as a piece of bell ringing music in itself.

@superfluousness321 No, the group of permutations of n bells is S_n, which I can't represent with rotations and reflections of a physical object beyond n=4. But I may do this again someday with something else...

This is great theory. I very much enjoyed watching but no. 1 needs to be the highest in pitch if it is to help bell ringers.

@Thatguy7109 I use both. It always surprises me that some people find that confusing.

next instalment: the mathematics of beetles who can't turn around when they fall on their backs

@superfluousness321 This shows that all permutations of four bells (and rotations of a cube) can be generated through repeated use of the permutations (12)(34), (23) and (34).

@boumbh That's it :) Have a closer look for a third permutation.

Great to find one of your older videos. What was really annoying was 1 should be the treble not the tenor!

I thought that was Lucas Garron. As others have pointed out, good cuber.

@nafativedec Nice to meet you too!

@singingbanana Oops, yes, with only these two permutations you could only make one third of the combinations (two opposite faces of the cube). (1,2,3,4) -> (1,2,4,3) every 8 moves. roll(90) x yaw(180)

@TheHungarianCuber It is.

Was this at MathsJam? Ah, yes I've see the credits now. Well done! I was quite impressed with your abilities as a cubist. That would have been extremely difficult for me to remember, I think.

There are only two permutations used, alternatively: (1,2,3,4) -> (2,1,4,3) which corresponds to a roll(180) of the cube (1,2,3,4) -> (1,3,2,4) which corresponds to a roll(180) x yaw(-90) of the cube And you get all the combinations.

That is very interesting , I know the full extent of 8 bells has been rung which is 40320 changes, but let not go to 12 bells as it would take over 38 years on a proper peal of bellls. The longest peal I have rung was 5152 changes of Yorkshire Surprise Major and it took 3hours 27 minutes

That was fun!

oh haha it is! sorry i hadn't watched the end. Lucas is an awesome Cuber as well!

@singingbanana Oh I see so you get the whole of S_4, but can you ring the changes of not just rotational symmetry but the full reflection group?

I know this was 8 years ago but it bugs me so much that you start in reverse rounds as the lowest note ought to be the tenor and last bell. Otherwise great vid. Have you tried ringing two at once yet?

i notice they also have the same shirt colours as there bells, classy

lucas garron, as in the speedcuber?

(Two years late, sorry, I try catching up.) English "short" names are sometimes confusing to those who aren't familiar with them. (I'm from Germany.) They often seem not to be just abbreviations but completly other names that share the same first letter! Jim for James is not a bad example. :-) I actually got very confused reading "The picture of Dorian Gray" where Lord Henry was also referred to as "Harry" which isn't shorter neigther in speech *nor* writing! If you happen: Thanks for reading!

I lied. I memorised the sequence with using my rubik's cube, haha. Still, well done!

Actually in a Numberphile video she said her favourite number was 21.

@PEZenfuego second one from left looks same as Lucas so im pretty sure thats him.

This video does ring a bell.

Cool. Do bell ringers not use any odd permutations then?

Yes they do.

0:35 I think you're actually talking about permutations, not combinations.

That was tense.

where is this? Is that Lucas Garron?!

Hi people!

FINALLY!!!!!!!

it's easy, you gust grab a sphere and rotate it it's the same group because the sphere doesn't change, and the bug is stuck on its back so it can't change either MATHEMATICS!!!

Is you name Jim or James

mm-hmm, you are mathematicians, then whats her number? (okay, bad joke)

I... I'm not entire sure I understand. -_-

You so crazy :P :D

first

i bet some people ask you this and you might have already awnsered, but what is your IQ?

@TheHungarianCuber It is.
