'Hunger Games For Math Nerds' Video Boils Down Book Into Equation (WATCH)

Math Nerds Analyze 'The Hunger Games' (WATCH)

Math-nerd "Hunger Games" fans, this one's for you. Putting AP Statistics skills to good use, a recent viral video uses numbers and charts to break the book and movie down to the stats. There's even an awesome venn diagram to show how the cultural phenom starring Jennifer Lawrence is a perfect intersection of "Gladiator," "Extreme Makeover" and "Survivor."

Using sharpies and notebook paper, the video boils all the important events and characters down to equations -- and reveals that things may not actually be what they seem. (For example, does Katniss really want a makeover?) Watch the video above for some mathematical revelations -- and some LOLs.

Need some more awesome "Hunger Games" videos to tide you over until "Catching Fire" comes out? Check out a fan explaining the most awesome display of HG devotion we've ever seen, a trailer reenacted entirely with beanie babies, and throw an District 12-themed dinner party with these video recipe tutorials.
