Transcript: Mapping
Hamza appears on screen walking through a city holding a map.
Hamza says EVER GET LOST?
WHICH WAY DO I GO?
IF YOU WERE A BIRD YOU COULD
SEE EXACTLY WHERE TO GO
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW.
WITH A MAP!
TO FIND OUT HOW WE'LL
SCARE A GARGOYLE...
Now a gargoyle sitting in the studio with Hamza appears on screen and says AHH, AHH, AHH!
Now Han Ru and Stefano meet with two inventors.
Hamza continues MEET INVENTORS WHO MADE
AN APP TO FIND BATHROOMS...
(music plays)
Stefano says THAT APP WOULD
HAVE HELPED ME.
(music plays)
Now Hamza appears on screen with two kids wearing yellow and two kids with blue marching on a school field.
Hamza says FORM A MARCHING BAND...
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!
Hamza and Kool Kat play a board game in the studio.
Hamza says AND GET ON COOL CAT'S NERVES.
HA! I WIN.
Kool Kat appears on screen and jumps on the table. Kool Kat is a blue animated cat with a rectangular body.
Kool Kat says MEOW.
[laughing]
(THEME MUSIC)
The opening sequence appears on screen.
Hamza spins in a circle while standing in front of a cityscape in the background and puts on black sunglasses. He turns around and looks at the city behind him that transforms into colourful 3-D geometric shapes that fall onto the green grass and start to grow back into a new animated city. All the shapes unfold and the colourful geometric-shaped title rises and unfolds into the sky.
The title reads "Look Kool."
The opening sequence ends.
Hamza says LOOK KOOL!
The scene opens with Hamza and Kool Kat playing a board game in the studio.
Kool Kat says MEOW!
(music plays)
Hamza says THAT WAS A GOOD
MOVE, COOL CAT!
[purring]
HA! I WIN!
Kool Kat gets mad, dashes away, and says MEOW!
Hamza says KOOL KAT'S MAD BECAUSE
I WON THREE IN A ROW,
BUT FINDING MY WAY AROUND
THIS BOARD GAME'S EASY.
TO GET AROUND IN REAL LIFE,
I JUST USE MY SMART PHONE.
IT TELLS ME EVERYTHING
I NEED TO DO INCLUDING
GETTING TO TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Hamza pulls out his smart phone and the phone says TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION GO OUTSIDE,
TURN LEFT, WALK
THREE KILOMETERS- (static)
The phone malfunctions and Hamza says UH OH.
UH OH.
SO, TO FIND MY WAY I GUESS
I'LL BE USING A MAP INSTEAD.
(music plays)
Now an animation of a pirate landing on an island with treasure at night appears on screen. The pirate walks over to the treasure with a map which turns into a sail and he flies into the sky.
The pirate says AH!
AAAHHH!!
Back in the studio, Hamza points at a holographic map and says I'M HERE AND I WANT
TO VISIT MY FRIEND THIS
WEEKEND WHO LIVES HERE.
LOOKS LIKE I CAN
EVEN WALK THERE.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The computer says 734 KILOMETERS.
Hamza says WHAT?!
BUT IT LOOKS SO CLOSE.
OH WELL.
WHAT ABOUT TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION?
I'M HERE AND THE
CHALLENGE LOCATION
IS ALL THE WAY
OVER HERE.
THAT'S GONNA TAKE
FOREVER TO GET TO.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The computer says 8 BLOCKS.
Hamza says SAY WHAT?!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
A DISTANCE THIS LONG
IS CLOSER THAN A
DISTANCE THIS SMALL?
OH, I KNOW WHAT
I DID WRONG.
I FORGOT TO
CHECK THE SCALE!
SCALE IS A MEASUREMENT
THAT TELLS US HOW BIG
OR SMALL THINGS ON A
MAP ARE IN REAL LIFE.
SO FOR INSTANCE, ON THIS
MAP OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,
THE PLANET JUPITER IS
ABOUT THE SAME SIZE
AS A PARK ON THIS MAP
OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD.
SO MAPMAKERS DRAW A
LITTLE MEASUREMENT LINE
CALLED SCALE TO SHOW US
HOW BIG OR SMALL THINGS ARE
IN REAL LIFE.
A LINE THIS BIG ON THIS
MAP EQUALS 1 KILOMETER.
MOVE THE SAME LINE
OVER TO THIS MAP,
IT EQUALS MILLIONS
OF KILOMETERS.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT
MORE TO MAPS THAN I THOUGHT.
WE'D BETTER GET THE
INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Hamza runs over to the projection screen and says HELLO, INTREPID
INVESTIGATORS.
Stefano and Han Ru appear on screen standing in a parking lot. Han Ru has shoulder-length, middle-parted, wavy black hair and Stefano has short, dark brown, feathery hair. They both wear white T-shirts with an eye in the middle with four arrows that point around it.
Han Ru says HEY!
Stefano says HEY, HAMZA!
Hamza says HERE'S A JOB THAT WILL
REALLY PUT YOU ON THE MAP.
FIND WHATEVER YOU
CAN ABOUT HOW PEOPLE
USE MAPS TO GET AROUND.
They both say OKAY.
Hamza says OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE IN
A PART OF TOWN WHERE LOTS
OF TOURISTS LIKE TO VISIT.
THEY OFTEN USE MAPS TO
FIND THEIR WAY AROUND.
Stefano says OKAY, SO...
Han Ru says HEY LOOK, THAT
LADY HAS A MAP.
Han Ru says CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A
PICTURE OF THAT MAP?
The computer says MAP IDENTIFIED.
TOURIST WILL USE MAP TO
FIND HER DESTINATION.
They walk over to a park and Stefano says OKAY.
Han Ru says THERE IS A BIG
MAP OVER HERE.
Stefano says HEY, WHY WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
THE QUESTION MARK
REPRESENTS LOST,
FOR EXAMPLE.
Han Ru says OR, WHERE ARE YOU.
Stefano says LOST, QUESTION MARK.
OR DO YOU NOT KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE?
THE ANSWER IS
A DETAILED MAP.
Han Ru says MAP.
SEE THESE BOATS?
SEE?
THERE'S A LOT OF
BOATS RIGHT THERE.
Stefano says OH HEY, IT'S TRUE!
THAT IS THE YACHT CLUB.
Han Ru says EXACTLY!
AND THAT'S THE PLAYGROUND
AND THIS IS THE PLAYGROUND
SO, LIKE, WE'RE
RIGHT HERE.
Stefano takes a picture of Han Ru in front of the map.
The computer says IF YOU LOOK
CAREFULLY AT A MAP,
YOU'LL SEE ALL KINDS OF ICONS
THAT REPRESENT REAL PLACES:
LIKE PARKS, RESTAURANTS,
GROCERY STORES, MUSEUMS,
HOSPITALS OR, EVEN BETTER, A
BEACH OR A SWIMMING POOL AND
THERE ARE OTHER ICONS THAT
HELP US FIND OUR WAY AROUND.
Han Ru says SO YOU MEAN
STREET SIGNS, RIGHT?
Stefano says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Han Ru says OKAY.
Han Ru points at a sign with a railroad on it.
Han Ru says HEY, WHAT'S THAT FOR?
Stefano says WELL, A ROAD CROSSING
AND THERE'S A RAIL
OR SOMETHING -
TRAIN CROSSING?
Han Ru says OH, YEAH!
The computer says SIGN IDENTIFIED.
STOP SIGNS HAVE
A SPECIAL SHAPE
AND THAT'S NOT
AN ACCIDENT.
ACTUALLY, IT'S TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
IN ANY COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD, EVEN IF YOU DON'T
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, YOU'LL
RECOGNIZE THE SHAPE
OF THIS EIGHT-SIDED SIGN
THAT ALWAYS MEANS STOP.
CAN YOU TELL WHAT
THESE ARE FOR?
NOT ALLOWED TO
STOP YOUR CAR HERE.
TRAIN CROSSING.
ON THIS STREET
DRIVE ONLY THIS WAY.
IN THIS LANE GO THIS WAY.
YOU CAN CROSS
THE STREET HERE.
Back in the studio, Hamza says OKAY.
Hamza dances around the studio.
Hamza says DO YOU KNOW WHO
USES LOTS OF MAPS?
DANCERS.
THEY, USE A SPECIAL MAP
KIND OF MAP CALLED DANCE
NOTATION TO FIGURE
OUT WHERE TO GO.
DANCERS USE A LOT OF
MATH BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE
DANCING YOU'RE TURNING
YOUR BODY INTO A SHAPE.
YOU'RE MOVING THROUGH
SPACE ALL WHILE COUNTING
THE BEATS OF THE MUSIC.
FOR EXAMPLE, ONE,
TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN
AND EIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF
MAP YOU USE THEY'RE GOOD FOR
TELLING YOU WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
ARE YOU READY BOOTS?
GET WALKING
Now Hamza appears on screen wearing a blue cowboy hat, a blue and red plaid shirt, and blue cowboy boots.
Hamza says YOUR DESTINATION'S..
[muffled instructions]
Hamza walks through different environments, on streets, sidewalks, in deserts, cities, and even herds of zebras.
Hamza says UH OH, WHERE DO I GO?
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO GO
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says TURN LEFT ON...
I MIGHT END UP IN TOKYO
[car horns beeping]
THESE BOOTS CAN'T JUST
START WALKING
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says CONTINUE ONTO...
Hamza says I MIGHT FIND I'M
WALKING TO SIAM
THESE BOOTS CAN'T JUST
START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says TURN AROUND AND GO
AROUND IN CIRCLES.
Hamza says I'D END UP WITH
MONKEYS AT THE ZOO.
[monkey noises]
Hamza stands next to a cage with a monkey and says I MEAN IF YOU
CAN'T BEAT 'EM.
JOIN 'EM, RIGHT?
Back in the studio, Hamza finishes a banana and then says MMM.
IF YOU WANT TO GO ACROSS
THE WORLD, YOU MIGHT WANT
A 3D MAP, LIKE A GLOBE.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE
OF HISTORY'S GREATEST
EXPERTS ON THE GLOBE.
PLEASE WELCOME
GARGOL THE GARGOYLE!
[clapping]
Gargol opens the studio door with a brown burlap bag. He is gray like stone with two silver horns, two wings, and an ornate silver body.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT!
I DIDN'T DO IT!
Hamza says DO WHAT?
Gargol says WHATEVER YOU'RE
ACCUSING ME OF.
Hamza says I JUST ASKED YOU HERE
TO TALK ABOUT MAPS.
Gargol says MAPS?
NO, NO, NO.
THE LAST TIME I TALKED
ABOUT MAPS THE KING
TURNED ME INTO A GARGOYLE,
WHICH IS THIS KIND
OF STONE STATUE.
Hamza says YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT THE GARGOYLE THING.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH MAPS?
Gargol says OH.
WELL, ABOUT 600 YEARS AGO,
I TOLD BAD KING WENCESLAS
THAT, THAT...
[muttering]
Hamza says HUH?
WHAT DID YOU
SAY TO HIM?
Gargol says THE WORLD IS ROUND.
AHH, AHH, AHH!
Hamza says OF COURSE THE
WORLD IS ROUND.
Gargol says YOU KNOW THAT TOO?
HOW COME NO ONE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Hamza says TODAY EVERYONE KNOWS
THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND.
BUT I DID READ THAT PEOPLE
USED TO THINK IT WAS FLAT,
AND THEY EVEN MADE
FLAT EARTH MAPS.
Gargol says YEAH.
LIKE BAD KING WENCESLAS, HE
SAID, "WELL A MAP IS FLAT
SO THE EARTH MUST BE FLAT.
IF YOU SAIL OFF THE EDGE,
YOU'LL FALL RIGHT OFF."
Hamza says BUT YOU KNEW
BETTER THAN THE KING.
Gargol says ARE YOU TRYING
TO SET ME UP HERE?
HE SAID IF HE CAUGHT ME
TALKING ABOUT MAPS AGAIN
HE'D TURN ME
INTO A CABBAGE!
Hamza says NO, NO, YOU'RE PERFECTLY
SAFE THESE DAYS.
IN FACT, ASTRONAUTS HAVE
GONE AROUND THE EARTH
IN SPACESHIPS AND TAKEN
PICTURES THAT SHOW IT'S ROUND.
[shutter clicking]
Gargol says ALL I HAD TO SHOW BAD
KING WENCESLAS WAS THIS
GLOBE THAT I MADE.
Gargol pulls out a brown globe and says HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT
IT AND SAID, "WELL,
THAT WOULD MEAN THE PEOPLE
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH
WOULD BE HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN LIKE BATS.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL
ME THAT THEY EAT
WITH THEIR FEET INSTEAD
OF THEIR MOUTHS?
THAT THEY SWALLOW UP
INSTEAD OF DOWN?"
Hamza says AND THAT'S WHEN HE
TURNED YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Gargol says YEAH PRETTY MUCH.
Hamza says HARSH.
I GUESS YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN KEEPING UP WITH
THE NEW KINDS OF
MAPS THEN?
Gargol says ACTUALLY I HAVE.
ARE YOU SURE NO
ONE'S WATCHING?
Hamza says WELL LOTS OF
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING,
BUT DON'T WORRY, NO ONE'S
GONNA TURN YOU INTO A CABBAGE.
Gargol pulls out a bunch of different maps.
Gargol says IF YOU SAY SO.
I COLLECT MAPS.
Hamza says HOW COME THERE'S SO
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS?
COULDN'T ANY MAP HELP YOU
GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
Gargol says MAPS DO A LOT
MORE THAN THAT.
THIS ONE SHOWS YOU WHETHER
A PLACE HAS MOUNTAINS
OR WHETHER AN AREA
IS FLAT LAND.
Hamza says OH, SO I GUESS
THAT WOULD BE GREAT
IF YOU WERE WALKING
SOMEWHERE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO
AROUND THE MOUNTAINS
AS OPPOSED TO
CLIMBING OVER THEM.
Gargol says EXACTLY.
AND THIS ONE HERE
SHOWS YOU WHETHER
A PLACE IS HOT OR COLD.
YOU SEE THE RED IS HOT
AND THE BLUE IS COLD.
[laughing]
Hamza says SO, IF YOU WERE PLANNING
A TRIP YOU'D WANT TO KNOW
WHETHER TO PACK A PARKA
OR A BATHING SUIT.
Gargol says OH I DON'T REALLY GET TO
TRAVEL THAT MUCH BUT YEAH,
THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.
[laughing]
Hamza says HEY, YOU WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO FIX
MY MAPS SOFTWARE, WOULD YOU?
Gargol picks up Hamza smart phone and says THIS IS A MAP?
Hamza says YEAH, I NEED IT TO GET TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Gargol says I DON'T SEE ANY LINES
OR DRAWINGS ON THIS.
Hamza says NO, NO, THE MAP
SOFTWARE IS INSIDE.
Gargol says THAT'S CRAZY TALK.
Hamza says NO, NO, THERE'S A
MACHINE INSIDE THAT.
Gargol says I'M GONNA GET OUT OF
HERE BEFORE BAD
KING WENCESLAS TURNS US
BOTH INTO CABBAGES.
Gargol packs in bag and walks out of the studio.
Hamza says TURNS US INTO CABBAGES.
[laughing]
Suddenly, Hamza turns into a cabbage in his chair.
Then Hamza turns back into himself and says UH!
JUST KIDDING.
The animated pirate appears on screen looking at the map on the same treasure island and a tornado comes by and swirls him away from the treasure chest.
The pirate says ARGH!!
WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
UHHH!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Hamza appears on screen with two teams of two on the band field while everyone uses kazoos.
Hamza says AND CUT!
YOU GUYS ARE FEELING
MUSICAL TODAY.
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says CHECK THIS OUT.
Gabriel says HEY, IT'S A
MARCHING BAND.
Hamza says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW
MARCHING BANDS KNOW
WHERE TO GO TO MAKE
THEIR FORMATIONS?
WELL, THEY PRACTICE USING A
GRID WHICH IS A KIND OF MAP.
NOW WOULDN'T IT BE COOL
TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GONNA COMPETE
TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE
THE BEST FORMATIONS
USING JUST A GRID.
A LOT OF MAPS HAVE GRIDS,
WHICH ARE THE SQUARE
BOXES.
WE USE GRIDS TO HELP
FIND PLACES ON A MAP.
ON THIS GRID YOU CAN
FIND ENGLAND WHERE
THE C AND THE 4 MEET.
I THINK THE MIND'S
EYEGLASSES CAN HELP US
GET OUR GRID SET UP.
They all say COOL
Hamza and the kids run and he says LET'S GO.
Hamza and the kids look over the top of the bleachers onto the grass below. Hamza puts on his mind?s eyeglasses.
The computer says SHOWING A GRID FOR
A MARCHING BAND.
NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM,
LETTERS ON THE SIDE.
YOU GO UP OR DOWN TO THE
LETTER AND LEFT OR RIGHT
TO THE NUMBER THAT TELLS
YOU WHERE TO MARCH.
FOR EXAMPLE, 1-A IS HERE.
4-C IS HERE.
3D IS HERE.
Hamza walks barefoot on the grass and maps out the grid with white spray paint.
Hamza says OKAY, WE'RE ALL SET HERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE ONE
MEMBER FROM EACH TEAM
A SET OF DIRECTIONS TO
SING OUT EVERY TIME
I BLOW MY WHISTLE.
THE OTHER MEMBER OF
THE TEAM HAS TO DO
WHAT THE DIRECTIONS SAY.
GOT IT?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT.
BOTH TEAMS ARE GOING TO
BE DOING THIS CHALLENGE
AT THE SAME SO
TRY TO KEEP UP.
GIVE THE FIRST DIRECTION.
[whistle blows]
Gabriel says GO TO D1.
Mia says GO TO D4.
They start singing and say PUT YOUR LEFT LEG IN, AND
THEN YOUR RIGHT LEG OUT
[whistle blows]
A blond girl for the yellow team says GO TO C3.
Gabriel says GO TO C2 AND...
They both sing and say YOU PUT YOUR RIGHT LEG IN
AND THEN YOU SHAKE IT
ALL ABOUT
[whistle blows]
A boy from the blue team says GO TO B1.
Mia says B4...
They sing AND DO THE HOKEY POKEY
AND YOU TURN YOURSELF AROUND
[whistle blows]
Hamza says LAST DIRECTION.
The girl on the yellow team says GO TO A3.
Gabriel says GO TO A2
They sing and say AND TAKE A BOW.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Hamza says BRING IT IN, GUYS,
GREAT JOB.
BUT DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD DO IT NOW
FROM MEMORY ALONE?
Everyone says WHAT?
REALLY?
MEMORY ALONE?
THAT'S HARD.
Hamza says WITHOUT YOUR PARTNER
TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO?
CAN OUR CHALLENGERS
NAVIGATE THE MAP FROM
MEMORY OR WILL THEY FALL
FLAT ON THEIR FACES?
WE'LL FIND OUT IN A MINUTE;
BUT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,
IT'S TIME TO DO
A HANDS-ON.
Now a slate appears with Kool Kat holding up a piece of toast and a title that reads "Hands-On."
Back on the project screen, Hamza says HAN RU AND STEFANO, IN
TODAY'S HANDS-ON YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE A MAP TO
GET AROUND ON THE SUBWAY.
AND YU CHEN HOU AND
STEVE KONG ARE GUYS
WHO REALLY KNOW MAPS.
THEY EVEN CREATED A
POPULAR MAP APP THAT HELPS
YOU FIND WATER FOUNTAINS
AND BATHROOMS.
Now Yu Chen Hou and Steve Kong appear on screen standing next to Stefano and Han Ru with a map in front of them on a table outside on the boardwalk.
Steve Kong says THE NAME OF THE
APPLICATION IS CALLED
TAKE A BREAK.
Yu Chen Hou says SO HERE YOU CAN SEE A
MAP AND WE CAN SEE, LIKE,
NEARBY BATHROOMS
AND WATER FOUNTAINS.
SO YOU CAN SEE
THERE'S ONE HERE.
THERE'S ONE THERE.
SO IF EVER YOU NEED
TO GO THE BATHROOM,
YOU JUST NEED TO OPEN THE
APP AND IT'LL TELL YOU
HOW TO GET TO
THESE PLACES.
Stefano and Han Ru say COOL.
Yu Chen Hou says PRETTY COOL, EH?
Steve Kong says DO YOU GUYS WANNA
DO A HANDS-ON?
They both say OKAY, SURE.
Steve Kong says HERE WE HAVE A MAP OF THE NEW
YORK CITY SUBWAY STATIONS.
LET'S SAY WE'RE STARTING
OFF AT THE AIRPORT
AND WE WANT TO GET ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS
WILL NEED TO TAKE
A FEW TRANSFERS TO GET
WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
TRANSFER STATIONS WORK?
They both say YEAH.
Stefano says YOU USE A TRANSFER
STATION WHEN
YOU WANT TO
CHANGE LINES.
Steve Kong says EXACTLY.
Yu Chen Hou says SO, DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
YOU WOULD PLAN TO GET
FROM THE AIRPORT ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK?
Stefano says MAYBE WE COULD
TAKE THE ORANGE.
DOWN HERE.
OKAY LET'S KEEP ON GOING.
UP TO HERE.
THEN WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE RED LINE.
SO LET'S GO ON THE
BLUE AND THEN RED.
Han Ru says TO THE PARK!
Steve Kong says ALRIGHT.
AWESOME WORK, GUYS.
SO IT SEEMS YOU GUYS ARE
TRANSFERRING HERE AND
THERE BUT THESE TWO
STATIONS ARE CLOSED TODAY.
SO WE CAN'T TAKE THEM.
Stefano says OH NO, THAT'S BAD NEWS.
Steve Kong says CAN YOU GUYS
FIND A NEW ROUTE?
Han Ru says YEAH.
GO ALL THE WAY
ON THE BLUE.
ALL THE WAY.
Stefano says UM, YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO, NOW YOU'RE GONNA
STILL CONTINUE.
YOU'RE GONNA GO LEFT
INSTEAD, ALL THE WAY.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE.
Steve Kong says OH, COOL.
GREAT JOB, GUYS.
YOU FOUND ANOTHER ROUTE.
Yu Chen Hou says SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE
DO A LOT IN MATHEMATICS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
CALL OPTIMIZATION.
IT HELPS COMPANIES AND
PEOPLE SAVE ENERGY.
Steve Kong says SAVE GAS.
SAVE A LOT OF MONEY
IN THE LONG RUN.
Stefano says HEY, COOL.
THAT'S INTERESTING.
Steve Kong says YEAH.
Back in the studio, Hamza says HEY, GUYS.
TELL ME WHAT YOUR
INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED.
Han Ru says WELL, HE SHOWED US THE
APP THAT WE CAN YOU USE
TO FIND A BATHROOM
EVERYWHERE, SO THAT WOULD BE
WAY EASIER TO
FIND A BATHROOM.
Stefano says YEAH, THE THING THAT I
FOUND THE COOLEST ABOUT IT
IS THAT WHEN WE DID OUR
LITTLE HANDS-ON HERE
WITH THE METRO STATION IS
THAT WE ACTUALLY USED MATH
TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Hamza says AWESOME.
THANKS, EVERYONE.
Everyone on the boardwalk says BYE.
Now the animated pirate appears on screen looking for the treasure chest. He tries to get off the subway when a large crowd of people prevent him from getting off the subway.
The pirate says AH!
ARGH!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Back on the band field, Hamza says OUR CHALLENGERS FIGURED
OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE A GRID
THE SAME WAY
MARCHING BANDS DO,
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THEIR PARTNERS.
NOW WHICH TEAM CAN DO THE
MOVES FROM MEMORY ALONE?
AND TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE
MUSICAL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO PLAY THE HOKEY
POKEY ON YOUR KAZOO
WHILE YOU MARCH TOGETHER.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says YOU READY FOR THIS?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza blows his whistle and says WELL, LET'S DO THIS THEN!
The kids go around on the grid doing the hokey pokey.
[whistle blows]
(music plays)
[playing Hokey Pokey]
[whistle blows]
[playing Hokey Pokey]
[whistle blows]
(music plays)
After the challenge, Hamza says NOW, AS WE SEE, THE DIRECTIONS
THAT TEAM YELLOW WERE GIVEN
WERE THE REVERSE OF WHAT
TEAM BLUE WERE GIVEN.
BUT THERE'S A POINT
WHERE TEAM BLUE WAS
SUPPOSED TO COME DOWN
TO C2 BUT ACCIDENTALLY
STEPPED INTO B2 AND THAT
RESULTS IN TEAM YELLOW
BEING THE WINNERS.
The yellow team says YES!
Hamza says AND TO START YOUR BRIGHT
FUTURES IN THE MARCHING
BAND WORLD YOU ALL GET
TO KEEP YOUR KAZOOS.
The yellow team says YEAH!
Hamza and the kids walk away and Hamza says ALRIGHT, LET'S GO.
A square tessellation puzzle appears on screen and a title reads "Brain Bender."
Charles and William appear on screen at their house. They have short brown hair and have a map in front of them on a table.
Charles and William both say HI!
Back in the studio, Hamza says CHARLES AND WILLIAM,
TODAY YOUR BRAIN BENDER
IS AN EXTRA TRICKY
MAP CALLED A MAZE.
YOUR CHALLENGE IS
TO DRAW A PATH
THAT TOUCHES EVERY
DOT ONLY ONCE...
[beep]
AND YOU MUST END UP BACK
WHERE YOU STARTED.
GO!
Charles says OKAY.
START HERE.
GO HERE... AND GO IN HERE.
William says NO.
WE STILL HAVE TO GET.
Charles says NO, NO, NO, NO.
TRUST ME.
IN HERE.
William says BUT THEN WE
STILL HAVE TO.
Charles says NO, NO.
GO AT THAT AFTER.
GO IN HERE.
YES.
William says BUT LOOK.
JUST GO LIKE THAT.
Charles says BUT THEN HOW
DO YOU GET BACK?
William says YOU CUT IN.
BACK AROUND.
Charles says OKAY...
William says NOW HOW DO YOU GET BACK
TO WHERE YOU STARTED?
Charles says OH, YOU HAVE TO GET BACK
TO WHERE YOU STARTED.
Hamza says THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S TOO EASY IF
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
William says COULD I DO IT THIS TIME?
Charles says SURE, YEAH.
Hamza says HMM, WILLIAM SEEMS TO
KNOW WHAT PATH TO TAKE.
William gets it and Hamza says THAT'S IT.
GREAT JOB!
NOW CHARLES YOU GET
ANOTHER CRACK AT IT BUT
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A
DIFFERENT WAY TO DO IT.
Charles says I GUESS I'LL START HERE.
NO.
Hamza says YOU GOT IT.
Charles says YAY!
Back in the studio, Hamza holds a world globe.
Hamza says I WONDER HOW YOU'D MAKE
A MAP OF THE PLANET EARTH.
Now a slate of Kool Kat sitting on animated grass appears on screen with a title that reads "Deconstruct." Kool Kat breaks apart into several tiny shapes and comes back together.
Back in the studio, Hamza says DECONSTRUCT EARTH!
[rumbling, clattering]
NOT THE REAL EARTH,
JUST THE GLOBE!
WHOA!
The globe of the world floats in the studio and says WHEN YOU TAKE A 3D GLOBE
AND TRY TO TURN IT INTO
A 2D MAP, EITHER THE SHAPE
OF THE MAP HAS TO CHANGE...
OR THE SHAPE OF THE OCEANS
AND LAND HAS TO CHANGE.
THAT'S WHY ON REGULAR FLAT
MAPS THE SHAPE AND SIZE
OF COUNTRIES AREN'T EXACT.
FOR EXAMPLE, GREENLAND
LOOKS AS BIG AS AFRICA
ON THIS MAP BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
FOURTEEN TIMES SMALLER.
A GLOBE IS THE BEST KIND
OF MAP FOR LOOKING
AT THE WHOLE WORLD BECAUSE
IT'S THE RIGHT SHAPE.
Now the animated pirate appears on screen sitting by a fire when a gust of when rolls him up into a ball and blows him over to the treasure chest. The chest opens and the pirate finds a bunch of maps.
The pirate says ARGH!
AH!
ARGH!
[laughing]
Back in the studio, Hamza says DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME
EXPERTS THINK LISTENING
TO MUSIC HELPS YOU
BE BETTER AT MATH?
I'M GONNA START LISTENING
TO A LOT MORE MUSIC RIGHT AWAY.
HOW DO I GET TO
THE SYMPHONY HALL?
The computer says PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Hamza says EVERYONE'S A COMEDIAN.
The computer says DO YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THAT?
Hamza says FORTUNATELY, I DON'T NEED
TO COUNT ON MY PHONE
ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MAPS TO HELP ME OUT.
THERE ARE MAPS FOR THE
BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
OR FOR THE TOP OF
A MOUNTAIN.
MAPS CAN SHOW YOU
YOUR WHOLE HOUSE
OR THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM.
IN FACT, THERE ARE MAPS
FOR ALMOST ANYTHING.
MAYBE SOME DAY YOU'LL
USE A MAP LIKE THIS
TO HELP YOU GET TO OTHER
PLANETS LIKE MARS.
The computer says DESTINATION MARS.
BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION
KILOMETERS.
DESTINATION IS
ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says OH SURE, NOW
YOU'RE WORKING.
COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO
GET TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE?
The computer says BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION
KILOMETERS.
DESTINATION IS
ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says I REALLY GOTTA
GET THIS FIXED.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE LOOK KOOL!
The credits roll.

Hamza says I DIDN'T DO IT!
I DIDN'T DO IT!
Hamza says EVER GET LOST?
WHICH WAY DO I GO?
IF YOU WERE A BIRD YOU COULD
SEE EXACTLY WHERE TO GO
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW.
WITH A MAP!
TO FIND OUT HOW WE'LL
SCARE A GARGOYLE...
Now a gargoyle sitting in the studio with Hamza appears on screen and says AHH, AHH, AHH!
Now Han Ru and Stefano meet with two inventors.
Hamza continues MEET INVENTORS WHO MADE
AN APP TO FIND BATHROOMS...
(music plays)
Stefano says THAT APP WOULD
HAVE HELPED ME.
(music plays)
Now Hamza appears on screen with two kids wearing yellow and two kids with blue marching on a school field.
Hamza says FORM A MARCHING BAND...
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!
Hamza and Kool Kat play a board game in the studio.
Hamza says AND GET ON COOL CAT'S NERVES.
HA! I WIN.
Kool Kat appears on screen and jumps on the table. Kool Kat is a blue animated cat with a rectangular body.
Kool Kat says MEOW.
[laughing]
(THEME MUSIC)
The opening sequence appears on screen.
Hamza spins in a circle while standing in front of a cityscape in the background and puts on black sunglasses. He turns around and looks at the city behind him that transforms into colourful 3-D geometric shapes that fall onto the green grass and start to grow back into a new animated city. All the shapes unfold and the colourful geometric-shaped title rises and unfolds into the sky.
The title reads "Look Kool."
The opening sequence ends.
Hamza says LOOK KOOL!
The scene opens with Hamza and Kool Kat playing a board game in the studio.
Kool Kat says MEOW!
(music plays)
Hamza says THAT WAS A GOOD
MOVE, COOL CAT!
[purring]
HA! I WIN!
Kool Kat gets mad, dashes away, and says MEOW!
Hamza says KOOL KAT'S MAD BECAUSE
I WON THREE IN A ROW,
BUT FINDING MY WAY AROUND
THIS BOARD GAME'S EASY.
TO GET AROUND IN REAL LIFE,
I JUST USE MY SMART PHONE.
IT TELLS ME EVERYTHING
I NEED TO DO INCLUDING
GETTING TO TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Hamza pulls out his smart phone and the phone says TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION GO OUTSIDE,
TURN LEFT, WALK
THREE KILOMETERS- (static)
The phone malfunctions and Hamza says UH OH.
UH OH.
SO, TO FIND MY WAY I GUESS
I'LL BE USING A MAP INSTEAD.
(music plays)
Now an animation of a pirate landing on an island with treasure at night appears on screen. The pirate walks over to the treasure with a map which turns into a sail and he flies into the sky.
The pirate says AH!
AAAHHH!!
Back in the studio, Hamza points at a holographic map and says I'M HERE AND I WANT
TO VISIT MY FRIEND THIS
WEEKEND WHO LIVES HERE.
LOOKS LIKE I CAN
EVEN WALK THERE.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The computer says 734 KILOMETERS.
Hamza says WHAT?!
BUT IT LOOKS SO CLOSE.
OH WELL.
WHAT ABOUT TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION?
I'M HERE AND THE
CHALLENGE LOCATION
IS ALL THE WAY
OVER HERE.
THAT'S GONNA TAKE
FOREVER TO GET TO.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The computer says 8 BLOCKS.
Hamza says SAY WHAT?!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
A DISTANCE THIS LONG
IS CLOSER THAN A
DISTANCE THIS SMALL?
OH, I KNOW WHAT
I DID WRONG.
I FORGOT TO
CHECK THE SCALE!
SCALE IS A MEASUREMENT
THAT TELLS US HOW BIG
OR SMALL THINGS ON A
MAP ARE IN REAL LIFE.
SO FOR INSTANCE, ON THIS
MAP OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,
THE PLANET JUPITER IS
ABOUT THE SAME SIZE
AS A PARK ON THIS MAP
OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD.
SO MAPMAKERS DRAW A
LITTLE MEASUREMENT LINE
CALLED SCALE TO SHOW US
HOW BIG OR SMALL THINGS ARE
IN REAL LIFE.
A LINE THIS BIG ON THIS
MAP EQUALS 1 KILOMETER.
MOVE THE SAME LINE
OVER TO THIS MAP,
IT EQUALS MILLIONS
OF KILOMETERS.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT
MORE TO MAPS THAN I THOUGHT.
WE'D BETTER GET THE
INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Hamza runs over to the projection screen and says HELLO, INTREPID
INVESTIGATORS.
Stefano and Han Ru appear on screen standing in a parking lot. Han Ru has shoulder-length, middle-parted, wavy black hair and Stefano has short, dark brown, feathery hair. They both wear white T-shirts with an eye in the middle with four arrows that point around it.
Han Ru says HEY!
Stefano says HEY, HAMZA!
Hamza says HERE'S A JOB THAT WILL
REALLY PUT YOU ON THE MAP.
FIND WHATEVER YOU
CAN ABOUT HOW PEOPLE
USE MAPS TO GET AROUND.
They both say OKAY.
Hamza says OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE IN
A PART OF TOWN WHERE LOTS
OF TOURISTS LIKE TO VISIT.
THEY OFTEN USE MAPS TO
FIND THEIR WAY AROUND.
Stefano says OKAY, SO...
Han Ru says HEY LOOK, THAT
LADY HAS A MAP.
Han Ru says CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A
PICTURE OF THAT MAP?
The computer says MAP IDENTIFIED.
TOURIST WILL USE MAP TO
FIND HER DESTINATION.
They walk over to a park and Stefano says OKAY.
Han Ru says THERE IS A BIG
MAP OVER HERE.
Stefano says HEY, WHY WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
THE QUESTION MARK
REPRESENTS LOST,
FOR EXAMPLE.
Han Ru says OR, WHERE ARE YOU.
Stefano says LOST, QUESTION MARK.
OR DO YOU NOT KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE?
THE ANSWER IS
A DETAILED MAP.
Han Ru says MAP.
SEE THESE BOATS?
SEE?
THERE'S A LOT OF
BOATS RIGHT THERE.
Stefano says OH HEY, IT'S TRUE!
THAT IS THE YACHT CLUB.
Han Ru says EXACTLY!
AND THAT'S THE PLAYGROUND
AND THIS IS THE PLAYGROUND
SO, LIKE, WE'RE
RIGHT HERE.
Stefano takes a picture of Han Ru in front of the map.
The computer says IF YOU LOOK
CAREFULLY AT A MAP,
YOU'LL SEE ALL KINDS OF ICONS
THAT REPRESENT REAL PLACES:
LIKE PARKS, RESTAURANTS,
GROCERY STORES, MUSEUMS,
HOSPITALS OR, EVEN BETTER, A
BEACH OR A SWIMMING POOL AND
THERE ARE OTHER ICONS THAT
HELP US FIND OUR WAY AROUND.
Han Ru says SO YOU MEAN
STREET SIGNS, RIGHT?
Stefano says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Han Ru says OKAY.
Han Ru points at a sign with a railroad on it.
Han Ru says HEY, WHAT'S THAT FOR?
Stefano says WELL, A ROAD CROSSING
AND THERE'S A RAIL
OR SOMETHING -
TRAIN CROSSING?
Han Ru says OH, YEAH!
The computer says SIGN IDENTIFIED.
STOP SIGNS HAVE
A SPECIAL SHAPE
AND THAT'S NOT
AN ACCIDENT.
ACTUALLY, IT'S TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
IN ANY COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD, EVEN IF YOU DON'T
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, YOU'LL
RECOGNIZE THE SHAPE
OF THIS EIGHT-SIDED SIGN
THAT ALWAYS MEANS STOP.
CAN YOU TELL WHAT
THESE ARE FOR?
NOT ALLOWED TO
STOP YOUR CAR HERE.
TRAIN CROSSING.
ON THIS STREET
DRIVE ONLY THIS WAY.
IN THIS LANE GO THIS WAY.
YOU CAN CROSS
THE STREET HERE.
Back in the studio, Hamza says OKAY.
Hamza dances around the studio.
Hamza says DO YOU KNOW WHO
USES LOTS OF MAPS?
DANCERS.
THEY, USE A SPECIAL MAP
KIND OF MAP CALLED DANCE
NOTATION TO FIGURE
OUT WHERE TO GO.
DANCERS USE A LOT OF
MATH BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE
DANCING YOU'RE TURNING
YOUR BODY INTO A SHAPE.
YOU'RE MOVING THROUGH
SPACE ALL WHILE COUNTING
THE BEATS OF THE MUSIC.
FOR EXAMPLE, ONE,
TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN
AND EIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF
MAP YOU USE THEY'RE GOOD FOR
TELLING YOU WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
ARE YOU READY BOOTS?
GET WALKING
Now Hamza appears on screen wearing a blue cowboy hat, a blue and red plaid shirt, and blue cowboy boots.
Hamza says YOUR DESTINATION'S..
[muffled instructions]
Hamza walks through different environments, on streets, sidewalks, in deserts, cities, and even herds of zebras.
Hamza says UH OH, WHERE DO I GO?
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO GO
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says TURN LEFT ON...
I MIGHT END UP IN TOKYO
[car horns beeping]
THESE BOOTS CAN'T JUST
START WALKING
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says CONTINUE ONTO...
Hamza says I MIGHT FIND I'M
WALKING TO SIAM
THESE BOOTS CAN'T JUST
START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITHOUT A MAP-
The computer says TURN AROUND AND GO
AROUND IN CIRCLES.
Hamza says I'D END UP WITH
MONKEYS AT THE ZOO.
[monkey noises]
Hamza stands next to a cage with a monkey and says I MEAN IF YOU
CAN'T BEAT 'EM.
JOIN 'EM, RIGHT?
Back in the studio, Hamza finishes a banana and then says MMM.
IF YOU WANT TO GO ACROSS
THE WORLD, YOU MIGHT WANT
A 3D MAP, LIKE A GLOBE.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE
OF HISTORY'S GREATEST
EXPERTS ON THE GLOBE.
PLEASE WELCOME
GARGOL THE GARGOYLE!
[clapping]
Gargol opens the studio door with a brown burlap bag. He is gray like stone with two silver horns, two wings, and an ornate silver body.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT!
I DIDN'T DO IT!
Hamza says DO WHAT?
Gargol says WHATEVER YOU'RE
ACCUSING ME OF.
Hamza says I JUST ASKED YOU HERE
TO TALK ABOUT MAPS.
Gargol says MAPS?
NO, NO, NO.
THE LAST TIME I TALKED
ABOUT MAPS THE KING
TURNED ME INTO A GARGOYLE,
WHICH IS THIS KIND
OF STONE STATUE.
Hamza says YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT THE GARGOYLE THING.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH MAPS?
Gargol says OH.
WELL, ABOUT 600 YEARS AGO,
I TOLD BAD KING WENCESLAS
THAT, THAT...
[muttering]
Hamza says HUH?
WHAT DID YOU
SAY TO HIM?
Gargol says THE WORLD IS ROUND.
AHH, AHH, AHH!
Hamza says OF COURSE THE
WORLD IS ROUND.
Gargol says YOU KNOW THAT TOO?
HOW COME NO ONE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Hamza says TODAY EVERYONE KNOWS
THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND.
BUT I DID READ THAT PEOPLE
USED TO THINK IT WAS FLAT,
AND THEY EVEN MADE
FLAT EARTH MAPS.
Gargol says YEAH.
LIKE BAD KING WENCESLAS, HE
SAID, "WELL A MAP IS FLAT
SO THE EARTH MUST BE FLAT.
IF YOU SAIL OFF THE EDGE,
YOU'LL FALL RIGHT OFF."
Hamza says BUT YOU KNEW
BETTER THAN THE KING.
Gargol says ARE YOU TRYING
TO SET ME UP HERE?
HE SAID IF HE CAUGHT ME
TALKING ABOUT MAPS AGAIN
HE'D TURN ME
INTO A CABBAGE!
Hamza says NO, NO, YOU'RE PERFECTLY
SAFE THESE DAYS.
IN FACT, ASTRONAUTS HAVE
GONE AROUND THE EARTH
IN SPACESHIPS AND TAKEN
PICTURES THAT SHOW IT'S ROUND.
[shutter clicking]
Gargol says ALL I HAD TO SHOW BAD
KING WENCESLAS WAS THIS
GLOBE THAT I MADE.
Gargol pulls out a brown globe and says HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT
IT AND SAID, "WELL,
THAT WOULD MEAN THE PEOPLE
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH
WOULD BE HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN LIKE BATS.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL
ME THAT THEY EAT
WITH THEIR FEET INSTEAD
OF THEIR MOUTHS?
THAT THEY SWALLOW UP
INSTEAD OF DOWN?"
Hamza says AND THAT'S WHEN HE
TURNED YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Gargol says YEAH PRETTY MUCH.
Hamza says HARSH.
I GUESS YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN KEEPING UP WITH
THE NEW KINDS OF
MAPS THEN?
Gargol says ACTUALLY I HAVE.
ARE YOU SURE NO
ONE'S WATCHING?
Hamza says WELL LOTS OF
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING,
BUT DON'T WORRY, NO ONE'S
GONNA TURN YOU INTO A CABBAGE.
Gargol pulls out a bunch of different maps.
Gargol says IF YOU SAY SO.
I COLLECT MAPS.
Hamza says HOW COME THERE'S SO
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS?
COULDN'T ANY MAP HELP YOU
GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
Gargol says MAPS DO A LOT
MORE THAN THAT.
THIS ONE SHOWS YOU WHETHER
A PLACE HAS MOUNTAINS
OR WHETHER AN AREA
IS FLAT LAND.
Hamza says OH, SO I GUESS
THAT WOULD BE GREAT
IF YOU WERE WALKING
SOMEWHERE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO
AROUND THE MOUNTAINS
AS OPPOSED TO
CLIMBING OVER THEM.
Gargol says EXACTLY.
AND THIS ONE HERE
SHOWS YOU WHETHER
A PLACE IS HOT OR COLD.
YOU SEE THE RED IS HOT
AND THE BLUE IS COLD.
[laughing]
Hamza says SO, IF YOU WERE PLANNING
A TRIP YOU'D WANT TO KNOW
WHETHER TO PACK A PARKA
OR A BATHING SUIT.
Gargol says OH I DON'T REALLY GET TO
TRAVEL THAT MUCH BUT YEAH,
THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.
[laughing]
Hamza says HEY, YOU WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO FIX
MY MAPS SOFTWARE, WOULD YOU?
Gargol picks up Hamza smart phone and says THIS IS A MAP?
Hamza says YEAH, I NEED IT TO GET TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Gargol says I DON'T SEE ANY LINES
OR DRAWINGS ON THIS.
Hamza says NO, NO, THE MAP
SOFTWARE IS INSIDE.
Gargol says THAT'S CRAZY TALK.
Hamza says NO, NO, THERE'S A
MACHINE INSIDE THAT.
Gargol says I'M GONNA GET OUT OF
HERE BEFORE BAD
KING WENCESLAS TURNS US
BOTH INTO CABBAGES.
Gargol packs in bag and walks out of the studio.
Hamza says TURNS US INTO CABBAGES.
[laughing]
Suddenly, Hamza turns into a cabbage in his chair.
Then Hamza turns back into himself and says UH!
JUST KIDDING.
The animated pirate appears on screen looking at the map on the same treasure island and a tornado comes by and swirls him away from the treasure chest.
The pirate says ARGH!!
WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
UHHH!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Hamza appears on screen with two teams of two on the band field while everyone uses kazoos.
Hamza says AND CUT!
YOU GUYS ARE FEELING
MUSICAL TODAY.
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says CHECK THIS OUT.
Gabriel says HEY, IT'S A
MARCHING BAND.
Hamza says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW
MARCHING BANDS KNOW
WHERE TO GO TO MAKE
THEIR FORMATIONS?
WELL, THEY PRACTICE USING A
GRID WHICH IS A KIND OF MAP.
NOW WOULDN'T IT BE COOL
TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GONNA COMPETE
TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE
THE BEST FORMATIONS
USING JUST A GRID.
A LOT OF MAPS HAVE GRIDS,
WHICH ARE THE SQUARE
BOXES.
WE USE GRIDS TO HELP
FIND PLACES ON A MAP.
ON THIS GRID YOU CAN
FIND ENGLAND WHERE
THE C AND THE 4 MEET.
I THINK THE MIND'S
EYEGLASSES CAN HELP US
GET OUR GRID SET UP.
They all say COOL
Hamza and the kids run and he says LET'S GO.
Hamza and the kids look over the top of the bleachers onto the grass below. Hamza puts on his mind?s eyeglasses.
The computer says SHOWING A GRID FOR
A MARCHING BAND.
NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM,
LETTERS ON THE SIDE.
YOU GO UP OR DOWN TO THE
LETTER AND LEFT OR RIGHT
TO THE NUMBER THAT TELLS
YOU WHERE TO MARCH.
FOR EXAMPLE, 1-A IS HERE.
4-C IS HERE.
3D IS HERE.
Hamza walks barefoot on the grass and maps out the grid with white spray paint.
Hamza says OKAY, WE'RE ALL SET HERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE ONE
MEMBER FROM EACH TEAM
A SET OF DIRECTIONS TO
SING OUT EVERY TIME
I BLOW MY WHISTLE.
THE OTHER MEMBER OF
THE TEAM HAS TO DO
WHAT THE DIRECTIONS SAY.
GOT IT?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT.
BOTH TEAMS ARE GOING TO
BE DOING THIS CHALLENGE
AT THE SAME SO
TRY TO KEEP UP.
GIVE THE FIRST DIRECTION.
[whistle blows]
Gabriel says GO TO D1.
Mia says GO TO D4.
They start singing and say PUT YOUR LEFT LEG IN, AND
THEN YOUR RIGHT LEG OUT
[whistle blows]
A blond girl for the yellow team says GO TO C3.
Gabriel says GO TO C2 AND...
They both sing and say YOU PUT YOUR RIGHT LEG IN
AND THEN YOU SHAKE IT
ALL ABOUT
[whistle blows]
A boy from the blue team says GO TO B1.
Mia says B4...
They sing AND DO THE HOKEY POKEY
AND YOU TURN YOURSELF AROUND
[whistle blows]
Hamza says LAST DIRECTION.
The girl on the yellow team says GO TO A3.
Gabriel says GO TO A2
They sing and say AND TAKE A BOW.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Hamza says BRING IT IN, GUYS,
GREAT JOB.
BUT DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD DO IT NOW
FROM MEMORY ALONE?
Everyone says WHAT?
REALLY?
MEMORY ALONE?
THAT'S HARD.
Hamza says WITHOUT YOUR PARTNER
TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO?
CAN OUR CHALLENGERS
NAVIGATE THE MAP FROM
MEMORY OR WILL THEY FALL
FLAT ON THEIR FACES?
WE'LL FIND OUT IN A MINUTE;
BUT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,
IT'S TIME TO DO
A HANDS-ON.
Now a slate appears with Kool Kat holding up a piece of toast and a title that reads "Hands-On."
Back on the project screen, Hamza says HAN RU AND STEFANO, IN
TODAY'S HANDS-ON YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE A MAP TO
GET AROUND ON THE SUBWAY.
AND YU CHEN HOU AND
STEVE KONG ARE GUYS
WHO REALLY KNOW MAPS.
THEY EVEN CREATED A
POPULAR MAP APP THAT HELPS
YOU FIND WATER FOUNTAINS
AND BATHROOMS.
Now Yu Chen Hou and Steve Kong appear on screen standing next to Stefano and Han Ru with a map in front of them on a table outside on the boardwalk.
Steve Kong says THE NAME OF THE
APPLICATION IS CALLED
TAKE A BREAK.
Yu Chen Hou says SO HERE YOU CAN SEE A
MAP AND WE CAN SEE, LIKE,
NEARBY BATHROOMS
AND WATER FOUNTAINS.
SO YOU CAN SEE
THERE'S ONE HERE.
THERE'S ONE THERE.
SO IF EVER YOU NEED
TO GO THE BATHROOM,
YOU JUST NEED TO OPEN THE
APP AND IT'LL TELL YOU
HOW TO GET TO
THESE PLACES.
Stefano and Han Ru say COOL.
Yu Chen Hou says PRETTY COOL, EH?
Steve Kong says DO YOU GUYS WANNA
DO A HANDS-ON?
They both say OKAY, SURE.
Steve Kong says HERE WE HAVE A MAP OF THE NEW
YORK CITY SUBWAY STATIONS.
LET'S SAY WE'RE STARTING
OFF AT THE AIRPORT
AND WE WANT TO GET ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS
WILL NEED TO TAKE
A FEW TRANSFERS TO GET
WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
TRANSFER STATIONS WORK?
They both say YEAH.
Stefano says YOU USE A TRANSFER
STATION WHEN
YOU WANT TO
CHANGE LINES.
Steve Kong says EXACTLY.
Yu Chen Hou says SO, DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
YOU WOULD PLAN TO GET
FROM THE AIRPORT ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK?
Stefano says MAYBE WE COULD
TAKE THE ORANGE.
DOWN HERE.
OKAY LET'S KEEP ON GOING.
UP TO HERE.
THEN WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE RED LINE.
SO LET'S GO ON THE
BLUE AND THEN RED.
Han Ru says TO THE PARK!
Steve Kong says ALRIGHT.
AWESOME WORK, GUYS.
SO IT SEEMS YOU GUYS ARE
TRANSFERRING HERE AND
THERE BUT THESE TWO
STATIONS ARE CLOSED TODAY.
SO WE CAN'T TAKE THEM.
Stefano says OH NO, THAT'S BAD NEWS.
Steve Kong says CAN YOU GUYS
FIND A NEW ROUTE?
Han Ru says YEAH.
GO ALL THE WAY
ON THE BLUE.
ALL THE WAY.
Stefano says UM, YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO, NOW YOU'RE GONNA
STILL CONTINUE.
YOU'RE GONNA GO LEFT
INSTEAD, ALL THE WAY.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE.
Steve Kong says OH, COOL.
GREAT JOB, GUYS.
YOU FOUND ANOTHER ROUTE.
Yu Chen Hou says SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE
DO A LOT IN MATHEMATICS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
CALL OPTIMIZATION.
IT HELPS COMPANIES AND
PEOPLE SAVE ENERGY.
Steve Kong says SAVE GAS.
SAVE A LOT OF MONEY
IN THE LONG RUN.
Stefano says HEY, COOL.
THAT'S INTERESTING.
Steve Kong says YEAH.
Back in the studio, Hamza says HEY, GUYS.
TELL ME WHAT YOUR
INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED.
Han Ru says WELL, HE SHOWED US THE
APP THAT WE CAN YOU USE
TO FIND A BATHROOM
EVERYWHERE, SO THAT WOULD BE
WAY EASIER TO
FIND A BATHROOM.
Stefano says YEAH, THE THING THAT I
FOUND THE COOLEST ABOUT IT
IS THAT WHEN WE DID OUR
LITTLE HANDS-ON HERE
WITH THE METRO STATION IS
THAT WE ACTUALLY USED MATH
TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Hamza says AWESOME.
THANKS, EVERYONE.
Everyone on the boardwalk says BYE.
Now the animated pirate appears on screen looking for the treasure chest. He tries to get off the subway when a large crowd of people prevent him from getting off the subway.
The pirate says AH!
ARGH!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Back on the band field, Hamza says OUR CHALLENGERS FIGURED
OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE A GRID
THE SAME WAY
MARCHING BANDS DO,
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THEIR PARTNERS.
NOW WHICH TEAM CAN DO THE
MOVES FROM MEMORY ALONE?
AND TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE
MUSICAL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO PLAY THE HOKEY
POKEY ON YOUR KAZOO
WHILE YOU MARCH TOGETHER.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
They all say YEAH.
Hamza says YOU READY FOR THIS?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza blows his whistle and says WELL, LET'S DO THIS THEN!
The kids go around on the grid doing the hokey pokey.
[whistle blows]
(music plays)
[playing Hokey Pokey]
[whistle blows]
[playing Hokey Pokey]
[whistle blows]
(music plays)
After the challenge, Hamza says NOW, AS WE SEE, THE DIRECTIONS
THAT TEAM YELLOW WERE GIVEN
WERE THE REVERSE OF WHAT
TEAM BLUE WERE GIVEN.
BUT THERE'S A POINT
WHERE TEAM BLUE WAS
SUPPOSED TO COME DOWN
TO C2 BUT ACCIDENTALLY
STEPPED INTO B2 AND THAT
RESULTS IN TEAM YELLOW
BEING THE WINNERS.
The yellow team says YES!
Hamza says AND TO START YOUR BRIGHT
FUTURES IN THE MARCHING
BAND WORLD YOU ALL GET
TO KEEP YOUR KAZOOS.
The yellow team says YEAH!
Hamza and the kids walk away and Hamza says ALRIGHT, LET'S GO.
A square tessellation puzzle appears on screen and a title reads "Brain Bender."
Charles and William appear on screen at their house. They have short brown hair and have a map in front of them on a table.
Charles and William both say HI!
Back in the studio, Hamza says CHARLES AND WILLIAM,
TODAY YOUR BRAIN BENDER
IS AN EXTRA TRICKY
MAP CALLED A MAZE.
YOUR CHALLENGE IS
TO DRAW A PATH
THAT TOUCHES EVERY
DOT ONLY ONCE...
[beep]
AND YOU MUST END UP BACK
WHERE YOU STARTED.
GO!
Charles says OKAY.
START HERE.
GO HERE... AND GO IN HERE.
William says NO.
WE STILL HAVE TO GET.
Charles says NO, NO, NO, NO.
TRUST ME.
IN HERE.
William says BUT THEN WE
STILL HAVE TO.
Charles says NO, NO.
GO AT THAT AFTER.
GO IN HERE.
YES.
William says BUT LOOK.
JUST GO LIKE THAT.
Charles says BUT THEN HOW
DO YOU GET BACK?
William says YOU CUT IN.
BACK AROUND.
Charles says OKAY...
William says NOW HOW DO YOU GET BACK
TO WHERE YOU STARTED?
Charles says OH, YOU HAVE TO GET BACK
TO WHERE YOU STARTED.
Hamza says THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S TOO EASY IF
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
William says COULD I DO IT THIS TIME?
Charles says SURE, YEAH.
Hamza says HMM, WILLIAM SEEMS TO
KNOW WHAT PATH TO TAKE.
William gets it and Hamza says THAT'S IT.
GREAT JOB!
NOW CHARLES YOU GET
ANOTHER CRACK AT IT BUT
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A
DIFFERENT WAY TO DO IT.
Charles says I GUESS I'LL START HERE.
NO.
Hamza says YOU GOT IT.
Charles says YAY!
Back in the studio, Hamza holds a world globe.
Hamza says I WONDER HOW YOU'D MAKE
A MAP OF THE PLANET EARTH.
Now a slate of Kool Kat sitting on animated grass appears on screen with a title that reads "Deconstruct." Kool Kat breaks apart into several tiny shapes and comes back together.
Back in the studio, Hamza says DECONSTRUCT EARTH!
[rumbling, clattering]
NOT THE REAL EARTH,
JUST THE GLOBE!
WHOA!
The globe of the world floats in the studio and says WHEN YOU TAKE A 3D GLOBE
AND TRY TO TURN IT INTO
A 2D MAP, EITHER THE SHAPE
OF THE MAP HAS TO CHANGE...
OR THE SHAPE OF THE OCEANS
AND LAND HAS TO CHANGE.
THAT'S WHY ON REGULAR FLAT
MAPS THE SHAPE AND SIZE
OF COUNTRIES AREN'T EXACT.
FOR EXAMPLE, GREENLAND
LOOKS AS BIG AS AFRICA
ON THIS MAP BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
FOURTEEN TIMES SMALLER.
A GLOBE IS THE BEST KIND
OF MAP FOR LOOKING
AT THE WHOLE WORLD BECAUSE
IT'S THE RIGHT SHAPE.
Now the animated pirate appears on screen sitting by a fire when a gust of when rolls him up into a ball and blows him over to the treasure chest. The chest opens and the pirate finds a bunch of maps.
The pirate says ARGH!
AH!
ARGH!
[laughing]
Back in the studio, Hamza says DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME
EXPERTS THINK LISTENING
TO MUSIC HELPS YOU
BE BETTER AT MATH?
I'M GONNA START LISTENING
TO A LOT MORE MUSIC RIGHT AWAY.
HOW DO I GET TO
THE SYMPHONY HALL?
The computer says PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Hamza says EVERYONE'S A COMEDIAN.
The computer says DO YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THAT?
Hamza says FORTUNATELY, I DON'T NEED
TO COUNT ON MY PHONE
ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MAPS TO HELP ME OUT.
THERE ARE MAPS FOR THE
BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
OR FOR THE TOP OF
A MOUNTAIN.
MAPS CAN SHOW YOU
YOUR WHOLE HOUSE
OR THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM.
IN FACT, THERE ARE MAPS
FOR ALMOST ANYTHING.
MAYBE SOME DAY YOU'LL
USE A MAP LIKE THIS
TO HELP YOU GET TO OTHER
PLANETS LIKE MARS.
The computer says DESTINATION MARS.
BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION
KILOMETERS.
DESTINATION IS
ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says OH SURE, NOW
YOU'RE WORKING.
COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO
GET TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE?
The computer says BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION
KILOMETERS.
DESTINATION IS
ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says I REALLY GOTTA
GET THIS FIXED.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE LOOK KOOL!
The credits roll.
