xQc learns about Pythagoras' Theorem for the first time, calls it “insane”

Canadian Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" is undoubtedly among the most significant assets to have been produced by the gaming industry. Despite being a skilled gamer, Felix's mathematical prowess may not be that distinct.

In a recent stream uploaded on January 17, the streamer was seen sharpening his mathematical understanding of the Pythagorean theorem. For those unfamiliar with the formula, "the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse," or simply, a2 + b2 = c2.

xQc, however, was left speechless at the sight of the explanatory video. Reacting to the age-old theory, the streamer described it as "insane."

xQc left speechless after watching a TikTok clip on Pythagoras' Theorem

TikTok and Greek mathematical philosophy do not usually go hand-in-hand. However, in a recent live broadcast, xQc's interests appeared to have been piqued after running into a TikTok edit explaining the immemorial mathematical equation of Pythagoras of Samos.

Despite being around for centuries and being practiced in almost every school, the equation was a new discovery for the streamer. After familiarizing himself with the formula, the former Overwatch esports gamer was left in a state of wonder before exclaiming:

"Wait...that's massive."

Reflecting on the educational video, he disjointedly added:

"Oh, so you can deconstruct it backwards. So you can deconstruct it backwards. That's insane."
