If we take the base case equation here...
- 00:29
...and plug in the numbers as noted here...
- 00:31
...we get 2 times 9 times 4 minus 3 times the square root of 4 times 1.
- 00:38
Now let's simplify this mess.
- 00:40
2 times 9 is 18... times 4 is 72... minus 3 times the square root of 4... which is 2...
- 00:47
or 3 times 2, which is 6
- 00:50
So we have 72 minus 6 which is... the devil's number.
- 00:54
Or...D. As in devil.
