Mathematics is one of those things that deeply fascinates me but that has always gone over my head no matter how much I try to study it.

The following five minute video briefly covers this intriguing question. I found it fairly easy to digest despite my ignorance of the subject.

If anyone out there is well versed in mathematics, feel free to weigh in with your knowledge?
