*Knock Knock Knock*
Oh hey, Welcome.
I am so glad you were able to make it to my big housewarming party.
Come on in. Come in. Come in.
Oh, don't worry about taking off your shoes.
This is all just a bunch of animated cutouts anyway, for an opening joke.
Not like you're going to be tracking dirt anywhere.
Let me show you around!
Here, on the first floor, we have
the kitchen,
the bathroom,
the bedroom,
behind that door over there is the nightmarish hellscape of my tortured childhood memories.
*Door closes* We don't go in that one.
Now, let's check out the second floor.
Watch your jump. they may look a bit small, but don't worry you'll be just fine
for some reason.
*clink clink clink* Up here, we have a great room,
My security office, a room dedicated to my everlasting regret over my dead children's birthday the room inexplicably filled with water
a room dedicated to my everlasting regret over my dead children's birthday,
and the room inexplicably filled with water ...
Isn't it quirky?
I like to think this house has personality.
I know, I know. It's a little bit big for a family of two ...
Oh, and careful of those boxes.
But I think we'll grow into it nicely
and just you wait until

*Classic Game Theory's Intro*
Hello, Internet! Welcome to Game Theory!
Where today, it's back to the basics.
Back to overthinking things that nobody in their right mind would ever want to overthink.
It's January, it's cold,
Youtube is threatening to implode on itself. it's time for something good so sit back relax and let
It's time for something good.
So sit back and relax and let MatPat
Matpat guide you through the absurd physics of box stacker simulator
2017, oh wait you've never heard of it i don't know
Maybe you missed its release last, year sandwiched between mario odyssey
And snap six or maybe you know it by its other name hello neighbor you see today is a bit of a
Personal episode for me i know one who watches our livestream saw steph and i play a lot of hello neighbor last
Year, and sure the game wants
You, to think that the villain is our mustachioed neighbor or the bespectacled shadow
Man but no stand side wedding tux bowser in moulton freddie because villain of the year
2017 were these simple stupid
Cardboard boxes you trip over them they fill up your inventory, and worst of all you
Gotta, stack them in two unsteady stairways just hoping praying to reach, new
Sections of the house being a hundred percent real here if the neighbor put a giant stack of boxes in front of the door to
The basement i've been, like, nope, not dealing with, this you keep your
Damn secrets so after the months of headaches these things have caused
Me over 2017 it's time that i get my revenge in what is?
Undoubtedly the pettiest lamest and nerdiest, way possible by proving that they shouldn't
Be able to function the way that they do in the game could a human the size of our awkwardly proportioned protagonist
Use these things to platform his way through this pads peril get ready because, by the end of today's episodes you're
Gonna, be the life of the party able to wow
Your friends with the finer details of the industrial fabrication of the mightiest of moving devices the humble cardboard
Box wait make sure you put that one as the headline on your online dating profile to begin today's episode austin
From the science you, may know him as the guy
Who shouts a lot for easy humor rather than writing witty jokes already figured out
How big the cardboard boxes are in hello neighbor for his video on the architecture of the house so um hey captain shouts a lot
Can i borrow the box math that you used for your hello neighbor video
[austin] NO! you were mean to me! i'm date, my twitter account, with, more hot tanks calm down there scream
Oh, need i remind you that you started a
Hashtag protest because i merely suggested that you swear less in your videos so you could
not get demonetised plus you do shout lots
[Austin] okay!!! I
Really, do just default to shouting
The infos in your inbox all right so we know
From austin's in-game milk carton measurements that the boxes are sixteen inches by nineteen inches along one side from this edge here, we can
see that they're corrugated cardboard
Boxes which is just fancy way of saying that it has these
up-and-down sign wavy like ribbons of paper inside of them these things are called flutes and were invented back in
1856 as a liner for tall hats to help them stand up no joke anyway a few years later they started being used in boxes
To, greatly, reinforce the strength of the box without, using that many more materials but just how. Much they reinforce the box depends on the
Classification of the flute there are six common types of flute a flute b flutes c flutes efj lutes f flutes and pam flutes
no, one likes the last one each letter classification refers to a different number of waves in the paper per foot so by counting i
Was able to determine that the neighbor is using specifically a fluted boxes which, have much smaller tighter waves thereby
Making, these boxes much more crush resistant than the other classifications that have much taller waves, we can
Also, tell just by looking at the box that it's a single walled
Construction the stronger double walled varieties would have a piece of fiber board in the middle
Separating two layers of flutes our boxes don't have, that lastly how, the box is folded please and how
Strong it is this particular form of box construction, is what's called a regular slotted container it's just
Some flaps that you have to fold in and tape shut this type of box
Is the one that you've used to move like dozens of times and if you think that's a big no duh moment
Well consider this as i was researching the industrial manufacturer of boxes i found that there are over twelve different
Box folding patterns in just lists of basic designs it's crazy how, many different ways you can make a
Box out of just some simple folded paper
Each one with various pro and cons anyway with all of that information in hand we have everything that
we need
to Solve today's theory because of a little thing called the edge crush test you see boxes are used all over the place but most
Prominently in warehouses so smart engineers quickly realize that the most important part of a box's functionality
Was how much you could stack on top of them enter the edge crush, test or?
Ect where engineers take a, strip of cardboard and see how
Much weight it takes to crush it it's like the hydraulic press channels on youtube but, way?
Less exciting because you know it's cardboard, each box gets assigned with a number denoting how
Many pounds of pressure per square inch they're able to withstand before crushing 50 50 pounds
Per square inch along the edge 30 to 32 pounds
Per square inch along the edge and so on and so forth and if you stop and look at it most boxes have
These right on the box i mean seriously i just looked in my house and found a stamp on the bottom with all its different
Qualities including its ect rating so the next time you got to bring something in for show-and-tell
Boom collective kindergarten minds blown in the case of a single walled eath fluted cardboard, box, like the ones that
We found in the game 32 pounds
Per square inch is the industry standard
So that ladies and gentlemen is our magic number now it's important to note that the ect is measuring per square inch?
Because pressure is measured over an area and while boxes are very thin they
Do have a width boxes of this size, with an e fluted rating are almost always
3/16 of an inch thick something, we can, actually double check with
Some quick pixel measurements with that number locked into place the last details that
We need, are the weight of our character and the size of his shoe the average adult
Male weighs in at about 166 pounds but we're
Gonna drop that a bit because our protagonist
Is pretty skinny despite that freakishly large head of his so i'm gonna say that he's
About 150 lbs is a few more pixel measurements
and we're able to determine that our character's foot is just a little over 10 inches long or about a size 7 shoe which is
Kind of small you know what they say?
about guys With small feet
Rights that they have a greater likelihood of crushing cardboard boxes because the pressure of their weight is displaced across fewer square inches
Don't i know it and with that, we can finally get our answer to 10 inch long feet standing on a box edge
3/16 inches wide, means that when our protagonist standing on the box he's exerting pressure over an area of?
3.75. Square inches 150 pounds of weight over
3.75. Square inches gives us the final total 40 pounds, per square inch of pressure
well over the 32 pounds
Per square inch most single-walled regular slotted a fluted corrugated cardboard boxes array that, haha
Busted get dunked on i knew you were nonsense boxes i would teabag you right now but i just
Scientifically proved that you would get crushed under my weight long story short, my quest for petit nerdy revenge is at its end i am?
Vindicated i've gotten the monkey off my back, by demonstrating with, science how
A fake
[Austin] Hey Matt Virtual box that could not and would not work
[Austin] Maatttt as a platforming device in this game and would instead get Crus-
[Austin] Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
[Matt] What!!?
Geez there's no need, Austin to shout and we talked, about this.
[Austin] you have not taken gravity into account
Excuse me
[Austin Starting his Lecture] gravity unlike almost every game in the world except for assassin's creed instead of having higher gravity
Hello, neighbor has lower gravity if you, use wall paper a stopwatch and some pixel measurements to check how
Fast you fall in the game it's clear that
Gravitational acceleration is four point six three seven meters per second
That's under half of Earth's normal
9.8. Meters per second squared of Gravity
[Matt] but, less than half of earth's normal gravity
Means that the protagonist is no longer putting
150 pounds of force on the boxes but instead 71 pounds spread that across the
3.75. Square inches, means that no no
[matt regrets life] nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
19 pounds per square inch
That means he's?
Well under the crush test rating
mm-hmm
No, i refuse to admit defeat what about if we assume he is stepping out of the boxes one foot at
A time then the weight is all on one pressure point jacking the whole thing up to 38, psi the box
Fails until you consider that some a fluted boxes have
Psi ratings as high as 40 which, means it is
100%
plausible that these boxes are staying strong, baby, so what you're telling me
Is that in a game where you use wall sconces as platforms, where you use photograph records to shrink trees
Where you are expected to freeze a room filled with water
By putting a globe in a refrigerator then placing it on its stand in a completely separate
Unconnected part of the house that in a game this ridiculous that the creation
Manufacture and behavior of boxes are a hundred percent
Physically sound [Austin] Yuup
AAAARRGGGHHH
[Austin] There's no need to shout matt [matt] the boxes beat me again
i can't win i hate this game i hate this game
[Austin] yeah you have covered the umbrella. That thing is ridiculous
[Matt] never again, never again, well maybe once or twice more to cover the umbrella
Physics and then one final theory to tie up all the lore in this game but, never, again, with the boxes no you
and the FNAF fan ARE NOT WELCOME HERE ANYMORE
At in the meantime.... REMEMBER!
That's JUST A THEORY
AAAA GAAMEE THEOORRRYYY, thanks for watching ;)
Sux to failed in a boxes theory huh, Matt? xD
