What you're about to watch is the work of a name you should remember: Dani Ochoa.*
Dani, who characterizes herself as "a girl with too much time on her hands" is also, apparently, a goddamn math genius.*
She figured out how to play the Mos Eiseley Cantina theme from "Star Wars."*
With a pencil.*
While writing.
While writing a coherent and apparently working math equation.*
And not just a working math equation. But a working math equation that produces, yes, the number of the speed of light (https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/7pp7g9/cantina_theme_played_by_a_pencil_and_a_girl_with/dsj1dyy/?utm_content=permalink&utm_medium=front&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=videos).A sampling of crowdsourced math-checked, via the Reddit Video thread, *found this:
