Hello there.

This is Numberphile. We mainly post videos about mathematics and just numbers in general.

Clearly these pies were used for educational purposes... However during production of the video, Numberphile donated £314 to a local charity to provide food for people in Nottingham at times of crisis.

We filmed this video at Meadow Lane, home of Notts County FC.
