If you're not familiar with the YouTube work of CGP Grey, you're missing out on one of the best nerdy channels out there... He tends to make videos about things that you think you know all about (like where is the border between the U.S. and Canada, or what tumbleweeds are, or what is the City of London, or hexagons, or machine learning, or.... ), but you'll discover something new.

He's got a new one out about how runways are numbered. "Oh, I'm a pilot, I know about that already," you may be thinking. Well, sure. But this one, because it's very nerdy, goes beyond the simple answer and delves into Coriolis forces, and electromagnetism on the quantum level, and NavCanada, and... well, I just thought it was great, and you may enjoy it too...
