It's been so long since this was recorded I have no way to understand the context, but I'm going to say 'Yes definitely, sure' :)

Haha. OK. Well, it's at 3:25 if your interested. Greg says that 27 is a 'perfect cube' because it's 3 to the power of itself. You extrapolate from this that 4 is a perfect square. Apparently, a tesseract is the 4D equivalent of a cube, hence my comment.
