Ethan Gilbert and Aaron Flack aren’t total math geeks. They just play them on You Tube.
The high school seniors at Fayetteville-Manlius High School in New York, made a music video about T.I. 84 calculators. Called “What You Know About Math,” the video spoofs the song “What You Know” (about that) by rapper T.I.
Since posting the video March 28, the 92-second film has become a featured hit on You Tube, attracting 1,695,434 viewers and 9975 comments as of today. Gilbert and Flack, both honor math students on the school’s Math League team, poke fun at themselves for being geeks.
Gilbert is also class president, captain of the football and basketball teams and a star lacrosse player. Flack is also a star lacrosse player and an artist headed to Williams College.
“I am a nerd!” Flack insisted. “But I also play lacrosse, so it takes the pain away.”
