More than ever, thank you to my Patreon supporters for making this video possible. It is also their fault that the next SUM-007 will be called "The Spy Who Loved e". They got to vote on ten pun titles and "The Spy Who Loved e" beat second-place "No Time to π" 239 votes to 226.   / 53485855

CORRECTIONS
- At 00:33 there is a "33" which should be "53". Mistake first spotted by Andrew Foong but I'm going to claim it's some hidden message about the number 33.
- I say k is a "positive integer" a bunch when it should be "non-negative integer" to include zero. Like at 06:30, 08:48 and 14:35 (thanks Martijn Oostrom!). The formal statement on-screen at 17:15 is the official correct version showing that n is positive but k is non-negative.
- Robin Houston noticed that the on-screen text at 4:19 says Erdös instead of Erdős. Excuse me while I delete the whole channel.
- Let me know if you spot any more mistakes!

As always: thanks to Jane Street who support my channel. They're amazing.
