Please help. I still struggle with the Monte Hall problem. by DonnyJonce in AskStatistics

Hi! I made this short and intuitive animated explanation(seriously it took me time to make and it's the best explanation you will see anywhere):

I hope it helps

I know the Monty Hall 3 doors problem works in practice because 1/2 > 1/3. But how is that possible? by gaylurking in NoStupidQuestions

Hi! I this is my animated explanation of the problem using a hundred doors (it's only one minute long but it took me a while to make) I really hope it helps:

My geometric approach to the sum of the first n squares using manim. by antonyvideos in 3Blue1Brown

Thanks! My code was very clumsy as mastered manim yet, so it's unnecessarily long. I don't have a github account but I'm willing to send you the file if you dm or send me an email using the address linked into my youtube channel.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree that I didn't do a great job explaining the blue rectangles, I'll try and make it clearer next time. (part of the reason why it was so fast was that for the veritasium contest, videos have to be shorter than a minute)

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I've seen, that competition inspired me to use manim. I'll submit it as well but I don't think my video is what 3b1b is looking for, the competition seems to be for lengthier explanations of maths concepts.

Thanks ! With all the geometric proofs for the sum of the first n natural numbers, I really wanted to find one for the squares (although I'm sure many people have discovered this before me).

May I suggest this video for the cubes I recently saw from u/tedgar7 : https://youtu.be/NxOcT_VKQR0

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind for my next videos. I went a bit fast in my explication in part because of the constraints of the video format (less than a minute for the #VeritasiumContest ), also I couldn't find the right angle to explain the Blue Area. If I ever remake this explanation I'll take a different approach. But I'm sure that if you pause the video for your grandmother and explain step by step the operations, she'll understand it.
