New to this channel? It's all about teaching math visually. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to learn.
NY Times blog post about this problem:
wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/20...
The original paper by Gregory Galperin:
www.maths.tcd.ie/~lebed/Galpe...
Evidently, Numberphile also described this problem (I had not known):
• Pi and Bouncing Balls ...
You'll notice that video has an added factor of 16 throughout, which is not here. That's because they're only counting the collisions between blocks (well, balls in their case), and they're only counting to the point where the big block starts moving the other way.

  • Another interesting observation : When the masses colliding are powers of some other base (say 3), the number of collisions still equal the digits of Pi, but in the same base. Eg : Pi in base 3 is 10.010211012222010211002111110221222220111201212121... If you run the simulation with masses of 1, 3^(2 * 1), 3^(2 * 2), 3^(2 * 3),..., then the number of collisions will be 1 (base 3), 10 (base 3), 100 (base 3), and 1001 (base 3) respectively. Number of collisions for 1,3^(2 * 50) will be first 50 digits of Pi in base 3 : 10010211012222010211002111110221222220111201212121 , or 2255343044159619899886237 in decimals.

  • This is why I love math. You always look at a problem, read it out loud, then discover something about that problem. It's like there is always a hidden puzzle in math equations. For example, in 7th grade, we were learning about circumference. My teacher showed the class a video which said that if you take the diameter and try to wrap it around a circle, there's a tiny bit left, to which I realized that that tiny bit looked EXACTLY like pi, or 3.14. It's so cool finding small details that make so much since!

Let PI be defined as C/r (circumference of circle divided by the radius), AND TAU which is C/d (circumference / diameter). Can we reverse the roles of the walls to block the heavier block from leaving, so that the "high impedance" wall and "open circuit" walls are switched?

    • Well at least you can see where the circle comes from coz the equation of a circle is (x-a) ^2 +(y-b) ^2 = r^2 so 1/2m1v^2 + 1/2m2v2^2 = const. is clearly a circle equation

  • Solved :D The circle in question is a circle in the momentum phase space. Specifically say m2 is the heavier block, if you rescale the momentum variable p1 and p2 by sqrt{m}, then you have a very nice circle equation. The entire process amounts to turning by angle pi from the point (p1,p2)=(0,1) to (0,-1) so that the heavier block is reflected. Every collision between the two blocks can be written down as a mapping between points on the circle in the phase space(ie old momentum determining new momentum completely, while obeying energy conservation so staying on the circle). Every collision at the wall serves to reflect the point about the p2 axis so that the direction of p1 is flipped. Every step leaves a point on the circle, and each point corresponds to a click sound. So the total number of points on the circle(minus the starting point) is the same as the total number of clicks heard. Since all collisions between two blocks is followed by a collision at the wall, we can consider these two events forming a single step. It turns out that as the ratio r=m1/m2 gets smaller, this step approaches an infinitesimal rotation generator, with each step’s rotation angle being 2sqrt{r}. If we let k to be the number of rotation steps to execute the full pi angle rotation from (1,0) to (0,1), then 2sqrt{r}=\pi/k, or 2k=\pi/\sqrt{r}. We identify 2k as the total number of points on the circle(involving both the rotation and the reflection, thats why there’s a factor of 2), then if sqrt{r} is 10^-2n, we have 2k=\pi * 10^n, which is exactly what we have. The only thing left is the round off but I need my beauty sleep now XD. Can’t wait to see Grant’s solution and animations! :D

    • That would only be the case if the sum of the squares of the momenta (p1^2 + p2^2) is conserved, which is not the case. Conservation of energy demands that p1^2/m1 + p2^2/m2 is conserved, which is the same as what you tried only if the masses are equal

    • Now the real question is: If the blocks are moving at a constant pace along an infinite path for an infinite amount of time, how many infinities would it take for the blocks to reach the end of the infinite path?
