1 00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:14,103 Our company has a new strategic initiative to increase market penetration, maximise brand loyalty, and enhance intangible assets. 2 00:00:14,103 --> 00:00:14,974 In pursuit of these objectives, we've started a new project -- 3 00:00:14,974 --> 00:00:15,503 for which we require 7 red lines. 4 00:00:15,503 --> 00:00:16,533 I understand your company can help us in this matter. 5 00:00:16,534 --> 00:00:17,534 Of course! 6 00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:22,610 Walter here will be the Project Manager. Walter, we can do this, can't we? 7 00:00:22,611 --> 00:00:23,611 Yes, of course. 8 00:00:23,685 --> 00:00:26,942 Anderson here is our expert in all matters related to drawing red lines. 9 00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:29,757 We brought him along today to share his professional opinion. 10 00:00:30,117 --> 00:00:32,070 Nice to meet you! Well, you all know me. 11 00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:35,091 This is Justine, our company's design specialist. 12 00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:36,043 Hallo... 13 00:00:36,044 --> 00:00:39,138 We need you to draw seven red lines. 14 00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:44,675 All of them strictly perpendicular; some with green ink and some with transparent. Can you do that? 15 00:00:46,249 --> 00:00:47,719 No. I'm afraid we -- 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,663 Let's not rush into any hasty answers, Anderson! The task has been set and needs to be carried out. 17 00:00:51,664 --> 00:00:53,158 At the end of the day, you are an expert. 18 00:00:53,623 --> 00:00:58,384 The term "red line" implies the colour of the line to be red. To draw a red line with green ink is -- 19 00:00:58,385 --> 00:01:02,435 well if it is not exactly impossible, then it is pretty close to being impossible. 20 00:01:02,436 --> 00:01:04,187 What does it even mean: "impossible"? 21 00:01:04,667 --> 00:01:08,450 I mean, it is quite possible that there are some people, say suffering from colour blindness, 22 00:01:08,451 --> 00:01:10,956 for whom the colour of the lines doesn't really make a difference. 23 00:01:10,957 --> 00:01:15,756 But I am quite sure that the target audience of your project does not consists solely of such people. 24 00:01:15,757 --> 00:01:17,730 So in principle this is possible. 25 00:01:19,789 --> 00:01:21,090 I'll simplify. 26 00:01:21,091 --> 00:01:24,015 A line as such can be drawn with absolutely any ink. 27 00:01:24,015 --> 00:01:27,541 But if you want to get a red line, you need to use red ink. 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,037 What if we draw them with blue ink? 29 00:01:30,252 --> 00:01:34,623 It still won't work. If you use blue ink, you will get blue lines. 30 00:01:37,107 --> 00:01:40,076 And what exactly did you mean, when you talked about the transparent ink? 31 00:01:40,077 --> 00:01:42,770 How to better explain? 32 00:01:42,771 --> 00:01:44,576 I'm sure you know what "transparent" means? 33 00:01:44,577 --> 00:01:45,984 Yes, I do. 34 00:01:45,985 --> 00:01:49,492 And what a "red line" means, I hope I don't need to explain to you? 35 00:01:49,493 --> 00:01:50,457 Of course not. 36 00:01:50,457 --> 00:01:55,457 Well... You need to draw red lines with transparent ink. 37 00:01:55,873 --> 00:01:58,858 Could you describe what you imagine the end result would look like? 38 00:01:58,859 --> 00:02:01,036 C'mon, Anderson! What do we have here, kindergarten? 39 00:02:01,495 --> 00:02:05,365 Let's not waste our time with these unproductive quarrels. 40 00:02:05,366 --> 00:02:07,762 The task has been set; the task is plain and clear. 41 00:02:07,763 --> 00:02:11,474 Now, if you have any specific questions, go ahead! 42 00:02:11,475 --> 00:02:13,168 You're the expert here! 43 00:02:13,583 --> 00:02:16,814 Alright, let's leave aside the colour for the moment. 44 00:02:16,815 --> 00:02:20,376 You had something there also relating to perpendicularity?.. 45 00:02:20,377 --> 00:02:22,614 Seven lines, all strictly perpendicular. 46 00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:24,399 To what? 47 00:02:26,597 --> 00:02:30,586 Erm, to everything. Among themselves. 48 00:02:30,587 --> 00:02:32,806 I assumed you know what perpendicular lines are like! 49 00:02:32,807 --> 00:02:34,293 Of course he does. He's an expert! 50 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:36,801 Two lines can be perpendicular. 51 00:02:36,802 --> 00:02:40,219 All seven can't be simultaneously perpendicular to each other. 52 00:02:41,550 --> 00:02:42,950 I'll show you. 53 00:02:45,712 --> 00:02:48,412 This is a line, right? 54 00:02:48,755 --> 00:02:49,413 Yes. 55 00:02:49,414 --> 00:02:54,408 And another one. Is it perpendicular to the first line? 56 00:02:55,534 --> 00:02:57,321 Well... 57 00:02:57,928 --> 00:02:59,251 Yes, it is perpendicular. 58 00:02:59,252 --> 00:03:00,252 Exactly! 59 00:03:00,253 --> 00:03:05,062 Wait, wait, I'm not done. And a third one: is it perpendicular to the first line? 60 00:03:06,232 --> 00:03:11,353 Yes, it is! But it doesn't cross the second line. They're both parallel. 61 00:03:12,532 --> 00:03:13,647 Not perpendicular! 62 00:03:16,359 --> 00:03:17,605 I suppose so. 63 00:03:17,606 --> 00:03:21,137 There it is. Two lines can be perpendicular -- 64 00:03:21,138 --> 00:03:22,397 Can I have the pen? 65 00:03:42,418 --> 00:03:43,629 How about this? 66 00:03:48,044 --> 00:03:49,563 This is a triangle. 67 00:03:49,564 --> 00:03:53,306 It's definitely not perpendicular lines. 68 00:03:53,307 --> 00:03:56,013 And there are three, not seven. 69 00:03:57,853 --> 00:03:58,735 Why are they blue? 70 00:03:58,736 --> 00:04:00,454 Indeed. Wanted to ask that myself. 71 00:04:01,387 --> 00:04:04,026 I have a blue pen with me. This was just a demonstration -- 72 00:04:04,027 --> 00:04:07,459 That's the problem, your lines are blue. Draw them with red ink! 73 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:09,012 It won't solve the problem. 74 00:04:09,013 --> 00:04:10,946 How do you know before you've tried? 75 00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:12,965 Lets draw them with red ink and then let's see. 76 00:04:12,966 --> 00:04:13,966 I don't have a red pen with me, -- 77 00:04:13,967 --> 00:04:19,099 but I am completely certain that with red ink the result will still be the same. 78 00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,345 Didn't you tell us earlier that you can only draw red lines with red ink? 79 00:04:22,346 --> 00:04:24,334 In fact, yes, I've written it down here! 80 00:04:24,335 --> 00:04:28,914 And now you want to draw them with a blue ink. Do you want to call these red lines? 81 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,050 I think I understand. You're not talking about the colour now, right? 82 00:04:33,051 --> 00:04:37,472 You're talking about that, what do you call it: per-per, dick-dick -- 83 00:04:37,473 --> 00:04:38,966 Perpendicularity, yes! 84 00:04:38,967 --> 00:04:41,459 That's it, now you've confused everyone. 85 00:04:41,459 --> 00:04:44,742 So what exactly is stopping us from doing this? 86 00:04:44,943 --> 00:04:46,242 Geometry. 87 00:04:46,243 --> 00:04:47,398 Just ignore it! 88 00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:52,856 We have a task. Seven red lines. It's not twenty; it's just seven. 89 00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:58,024 Anderson, I understand; you're a specialist of a narrow field, you don't see the overall picture. 90 00:04:58,025 --> 00:05:01,661 But surely it's not a difficult task to draw some seven lines! 91 00:05:01,662 --> 00:05:03,578 Exactly. Suggest a solution! 92 00:05:03,579 --> 00:05:09,596 Any fool can criticise, no offence, but you're an expert, you should know better! 93 00:05:10,186 --> 00:05:15,124 OK. Let me draw you two perfectly perpendicular red lines, -- 94 00:05:15,125 --> 00:05:18,583 and I will draw the rest with transparent ink. 95 00:05:18,584 --> 00:05:21,834 They'll be invisible, but I'll draw them. 96 00:05:21,835 --> 00:05:23,095 Would this suit us? 97 00:05:24,186 --> 00:05:25,623 Yes, this will suit us. 98 00:05:26,383 --> 00:05:28,670 Yes, but at least a couple with green ink. 99 00:05:28,671 --> 00:05:31,048 Oh, and I have another question, if I may. 100 00:05:31,049 --> 00:05:34,078 Can you draw one of the lines in the form of a kitten? 101 00:05:34,631 --> 00:05:35,320 A what? 102 00:05:35,321 --> 00:05:36,617 In the form of a kitten. 103 00:05:36,618 --> 00:05:40,710 Market research tells our users like cute animals. It'd be really great if -- 104 00:05:40,711 --> 00:05:41,711 No-oh... 105 00:05:42,462 --> 00:05:42,996 Why? 106 00:05:42,997 --> 00:05:45,059 Look, I can of course draw you a cat. 107 00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:47,015 I'm no artist, but I can give it a try. 108 00:05:47,016 --> 00:05:49,095 But it won't be a line any more. It will be a cat. 109 00:05:49,096 --> 00:05:51,451 A line and a cat: those are two different things. 110 00:05:51,452 --> 00:05:53,997 A kitten. Not a cat, but a kitten. 111 00:05:53,998 --> 00:05:58,674 It's little, cute, cuddly. Cats, on the other hand -- 112 00:05:58,675 --> 00:05:59,689 It doesn't make a difference. 113 00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:01,354 Anderson, at least hear her out! 114 00:06:01,355 --> 00:06:04,117 She hasn't even finished speaking, and you're already saying "No!" 115 00:06:04,118 --> 00:06:09,681 I got the idea, but it is impossible to draw a line in the form of a cat...ten. 116 00:06:10,097 --> 00:06:12,053 What about a bird? 117 00:06:15,274 --> 00:06:17,306 So, where did we stop? What are we doing? 118 00:06:17,307 --> 00:06:21,875 Seven red lines, two with red ink, two with green ink and the rest - with transparent. 119 00:06:21,876 --> 00:06:23,280 Did I understand correctly? -- -- Yes. 120 00:06:23,281 --> 00:06:26,100 Excellent! In which case that's everything, right? 121 00:06:26,101 --> 00:06:28,951 Oh, oh, I almost forgot, we also have a red balloon. 122 00:06:28,952 --> 00:06:30,911 Do you know if you could inflate it? 123 00:06:34,882 --> 00:06:37,020 What do I have to do with balloons? 124 00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:38,021 It's red. 125 00:06:38,022 --> 00:06:41,654 Anderson, can you or can you not do this? A simple question. 126 00:06:42,119 --> 00:06:43,502 As such, I can of course, but -- 127 00:06:43,503 --> 00:06:47,923 Excellent. Organise a business trip, we'll cover the expenses, -- 128 00:06:47,924 --> 00:06:52,121 go over to their location, inflate the balloon. 129 00:06:52,122 --> 00:06:55,411 Well this was very productive, thank you all! 130 00:07:08,303 --> 00:07:10,210 Can I ask one more question, please? 131 00:07:10,937 --> 00:07:14,543 When you inflate the balloon, could you do it in the form of a kitten? 132 00:07:16,005 --> 00:07:17,407 Of course I can! 133 00:07:17,408 --> 00:07:21,739 I can do anything, I can do absolutely anything. 134 00:07:23,326 --> 00:07:25,396 I'm an expert!
