Where to BUY Uranium and other DONGS!

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.

And over the weekend, I was in Los Angeles, where I got to meet up with Henry, the creator of MinutePhysics. But let's get to some DONGS. MinutePhysics recommended Grow Cube. You win by selecting the elements in the correct order. I was kinda like big deal, but then MinutePhysics pointed out that understanding the subtle relationships between the way the animations happen and the way the items interact is something that the human brain is awesome at, but computers, not so much.

These are one of the few types of games where people can be computers. So go play one, and after you beat it, look at the screen and go, "take that computer." SnipeZzLeGacY recommended Continuity, a really clever game where you have to rearrange the puzzle pieces of the game to make it playable. And 'No One Mourns the Nolan' recommended Blow Six, where you shoot balls at bricks to knock them off, but using larger and larger balls costs you points, so be careful.

NothinbatHD sent me "Kill Me." New versions of yourself appear over and over again, and the bodies of your former selves can be strategic safe zones. DeluxeFreeman sent me the best type of koala, the kind you have to laboriously wave your cursor over and over and over to divide into small enough pixels to be intelligible. KryptiCxLeGenD threw me a curveball: 3D pong.

And oh look, a complete breakdown of 10 codes. 10-4 means OK, but there are 98 others. Htwins.net contains some of my favorite WebWork. These are the guys behind the amazing scale of the universe tool I've covered before, but they also have spatial intelligence games, like rolling a cube so that a certain face faces down at the right time.

I also like this one where the guy can't walk, and you have to pre-plan his automatic route. Joe Sabia is one of the most creative people I know. His internet works are super clever. I specially like how he made this interactive game on Facebook. Bob Lazar was a guy who purportedly worked at Area 51. What does he do now? Well, he runs UnitedNuclear.com, a website where you can actually buy small, legal quantities of radioactive isotopes.

Finally, @GothisLifeStyle @tweetsauce-d a fantastic list of cool mind hacks, like the Pinocchio effect or the fact that you cannot rotate one of your feet clockwise while simultaneously drawing the number six in the air without having to reverse your foot. Pretty weird, right?

And as always, thanks for watching.
