The podcast has hit its Patreon goal and thus, episodes will now be more frequent. Because of this, there'll only be one big problem per episode, and one smaller dinglet/wingding.
This episode is being recorded one day after Two's Day Tuesday. Matt is still calming down from the excitement. Matt talks about his Two's Day Tuesday video, which was actually released on time. In just over 11 years, there'll bee Three's Day Thursday on 2033-03-03.
Bec watched Moneyball with Gavin on Two's Day Tuesday. She complains that there was too much sport and not enough maths. At 22:22, she paused the movie to tweet about Two's Day Tuesday.
The second Horror Heights book, "Now LiveScreaming", is finished, copy editing and all. Ever since, Bec's been in a great mood.
Assuming the signal was strong enough, what would happen if you tried to use a GPS satnav on the moon?
GPS satellites constantly yell the time into space. The signal travels with light speed, so you can calculate your distance to the satellite based on the delay. In n dimensions, you need at least n+1 satellites. A GPS receiver needs to know its location in 4D spacetime, so it needs 5 satellites (though 4 satellites can suffice if you assume you're on Earth). If you've got enough satellites, in theory you can find your position anywhere in space.
However, your satnav might still not work on the moon because the satellites are all very close together from your perspective, so your position estimate is very inaccurate. Matt suspects it wouldn't even reliably place you on the moon.
However, your satnav would refuse to work anyways. To avoid it being used in missiles, it will stop working if it moves faster than 1000 knots (1852 km/h) or if it is more than 18 km above sea level. Some manufacturers see this constraint as a logical "and" and some as a logical "or" though. If you get a manufacturer that views it as "and", in theory you would be just 100 km/h inside the speed limit relative to the surface of the Earth, but due to the inaccuracies, it will probably not work anyways.
A combination Bec and Beardyman ding
The poser enjoys a podcast with a running joke that involves one host asking the other "Is this your card?". They've lost track of why it's a running joke, how it started, why it's funny. They're too afraid to ask the hosts to explain the joke (at least directly) because they think it might ruin it.
Bec can't remember, neither can Matt. Bec argues that it is not a joke, and that Matt is actually trying to find Bec's card. [Editor's note: It originates from 018-3.] They request listener assistance to solve this problem.
Dave Lacompte [Editor's Note: Spelling likely incorrect] asks: If Pudding can run 9 km a day, how long would it take Pudding to reach the edge of the solar system? This is not a trick question.
Sleepy has renamed themselves Awakey. They are amazed at how thoroughly Bec has answered their question. They took Bec's advice and are changing their sleep schedule incrementally. They also bought a sunrise alarm clock. They say the most important thing is they've stopped stressing about it, and they're a lot less mad at themselves. This has made their life better.
Awakey considers it solved. A combination Matt and Beardyman ding.
It is not Bec's card. Matt drew the card from the wrong deck. Matt and Bec narrate an outro.
