The DVD logo can never hit all four corners — the math shows why
aakashgupta · x · 2026-10-25
A geometric breakdown of the classic "DVD logo corner hit" myth: in a 1600×900 box with the logo moving one pixel diagonally per frame at 60fps, the first corner hit takes 14,400 frames (240 seconds) even in the best-case aligned start. After that, both axes flip, and the logo bounces between the same two corners forever — all four corners are mathematically impossible.
