    1:39:32 formula should be a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3 He did provide the correct answer, the formula just had b^2 at the end instead of b^3.

    Maybe it is just where I am at today, but this was an exercise in frustration, for me...I tuned out hard after the third line... And now I realized that i watched this before, comemted and apparently understood it at the time ...but im drawing blanks again..lol...the human mind after a long history of drug abuse, and knocks on the head, is really just a mass of toxic gray matter. At only 55 yo and much like me learning piano, I have to mentally prepare to learn and absorb otherwise I feel I'm on a hamster wheel .

    if you have trouble with ids matching what I ended up doing was downloading the data from github and then copy pasting it in. The first time the ids still wouldn't behave but the 3rd try after typing manually the first run and then trying to copy paste 2nd, the third time was indeed the charm. I probably added something to a column by accident which really messed up the whole process. On a different note, I did learn there is a way to reset the IDs from a comment below, which may come in handy later in life. Thank you very much for the quality material and especially the downloadable data files.
