I've always got to go that way though? - (Brady: No, up-down-)
Oh anyway? Right. - Oh look, yay!
Well so far it looks quite simple. So
you just move this across? Okay - All right,
okay so what what do I- what- I can't- if
I join these two- dunno do I want to move that one? Dunno
It's already- I'm only a
few seconds in and it's- this could be a
huge draw my time so don't- I'm not
getting this Brady. This is the type of
thing that I will get obsessive about.
Oh I see. I give up.
(Do you not like it??)
No, bloody stupid.
(I thought you might like it!)
No, not the least. - Oh, yes! That's what I wanted!
Yes, yes! - It's okay, I must say that I
don't find it terribly engaging but I
think after another 2 or 3 games I'll be
thoroughly bored but not as exciting as
chemistry.
I get bored of this now I just cannot do it.
(Really? Already?) - Yeah
(Not intruiged?) - Doesn't- doesn't do it for me no.
I I don't like doing- I like to- I like
everything's to be slow like to think
about things. - (There's no hurry!)
No I know but- I know I just does nothing
for me. - I thought that when you
explained to me first, as I said 2,048 I
had some sort of vision of a
post-apocalyptic you know game when you
mutilate everything, I didn't realise it
was powers of 2 so on yeah interesting.
(Do you play games?)
No. I delete games from my computer. - This
this type of gadgetry I really hate it. - (So, think about each move.)
I don't even want to- I just don't waste my
thoughts on it you know? Just turns me off.
Right. I do my work and I do it I
like to think about physics and maths and
you know, at a research level and
doing all that and I like it, I like all
that, but all these these computer games-
I just think computer games, they just
annoy me, they've always
annoyed me. - (How do you unwind then if you)
(don't use computer games like this? Like)
(what do you normally do to-) - Do physics,
fortunately - calculate, love calculating. - What I
love doing is just sitting down doing
some calculations - I'm not showing you
that. - (You're not showing me that?)
Don't show it to anyone! Not until it's
published anyway. - There are three things
I'll waffle on about: physics, music and my
kids; and they would love this. My
daughters would absolutely love this;
and this is great, it gets them to think
about powers of 2, get to think about
powers of 2, you're thinking about binary
you're pretty well a computer scientist
there and then so yeah great.
So 3228.
So a bit better than Phil
Moriarty. But he's a physicist.
It's just boring, I mean I I spent all my
day in front of a computer screen so the
last thing I want to do- that's not quite
true, occasionally over a cup of coffee
if I want a break I don't mind playing
computer chess. But that's something I'm
familiar with.
(Would your wife like this?) - Yeah my wife would like it
yeah, she'd love it. - (Why would she like it?)
(Is she better at maths than you?) - She's an
accountant.
She's better at proper maths yeah, she's better at doing sums.
5240. Game two. - (Are you pleased?)
Yeah
Give me a cricket ball, go to the net I'd be very
happy to play a game but this is just-
Yeah I like that but yeah it could be
very addictive very very quickly.
It's like Sudoku isn't it? If you have one of
these job- like a job which doesn't
require to think that way during the day
you do this at home because you you know
just to- so you- you're exercising
your brain that way. But if I get home I'm
thinking about all this, you know, maths all
day you want to just you just want to
watch Breaking Bad.
I imagined you having a bit of an
addictive personality and maybe getting
quite into this sort of thing. - No.
