- pkrumins 17y agoRandall once explained in a talk at Google how he got obsessed with this puzzle to a degree that he saw these patterns of infinite grids on toilet tiles. ;)
- ryandvm 17y agoI love this. The guy is like the Steve Irwin of electronic engineering.
- pkrumins 17y agoI watched nearly all the vids. He's amazingly enthusiastic.
