Abstract
'Wie is de mol' is a popular Dutch TV-series, where a groups of contestants performs tasks. However, one of them is secretly a mole, who aims to sabotage the tasks.
In collaboration with the UT video team, I published Mollematica, a Youtube-series on how to find the mole, using mathematics. These videos are among the most popular videos on the UT Youtube channel.
In the talk, I explain one of the models I use to find the mole, using Bayes' Theorem. Moreover, I go more in depth than my Youtube-series to justify the underlying assumptions. Finally, I discuss the experience I have with the video-team.
