Drawing straws

Drawing straws is a selection method, or a form of sortition, that is used by a group to choose one member of the group to perform a task after none has volunteered for it. The same practice can be used also to choose one of several volunteers, should an agreement not be reached. It is a form of the practice of drawing lots, only using straws instead. (Wikipedia).

Modeling A Perfect Quartic Binomial (An Attempt) #SoME2

During our tutorial of the 4th dimension this last school year, I had the idea for this build that I wasn't even sure I could make. This video walks from the 2 dimensional binomial up to the 4th in a (hopefully) cogent manner. This is also an entry for the Summer of Math Exposition 2! #S
