   As noted below: “To the vector belong the spoils”. “Vector/victor”…oh, never mind.

   Which pun?

9. Wymer February 14th, 2008 at 1:03 pm

   The music and the narration are as brilliant as the animation. But oh, that pun at the end is SOOOO BAAAAD!

    i ADORE you for uploading this! this is the best quality version on Youtube, if you ask me. favorited. And I agree, only Chuck could ever make such tricky animation as smooth as this. Can you imagine how hard it must have been to animate that squiggle so perfectly??

    thank you for that explanation

    yes. It is a play on words, a pun on “to the victor belong the spoils”, a famous quote that essentially means “winner take all”. The proverb originated in the United States and was first used in 1832 by Senator William Learned Marcy (1786-1857) of New York.
    The term “vector” is one used in physics and calculus. It is a spatial entity usually represented by an arrow, which is, of course, a line with direction

    “To the vector belong the spoils.”

    can someone explain this moral?

    I love this.

    My highschool math teacher would play this film at the end of each year. I took Geometry, Calc AB, and Calc BC with her and sat in as an aide. I got to see it at least 4 times. We also were treated to Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land but I preferred the Dot and the Line.

    Thank you, Mrs. Conry!
