FAQs
TRIANGLE/DELTA
The manual refers to this symbol using a picture not a word – however it seems to be very important issue to a number of people that I should have referred to this symbol as a Delta rather than a triangle- I can’t change the video now, it’s already been made. It looks like a triangle, so that’s what I called it.

BONGOS
There is one second of audio at the end of this video of bongos that should not be in this video – a number of people think that this is a conspiracy and a way to ‘troll’ them(?!?)…….here’s the true reason that one second of bongo audio is in this video…….. It was an editing error.
Every video starts off with a copy and paste of the previous one to retain the up to date patreon list.
All audio is deleted apart from the intro and outro music.
One second of audio from the previous video was not deleted in error. So that’s it – as always, real life is rarely as exciting as an overactive imagination.

GAUSS
Apparently this is pronounced incorrectly in the video and this really upsets people.
