Transcript: Cubes
Hamza stands in the studio. He’s wearing a fake moustache and a sparkly jacket.
Hamza says WELCOME TO
LOOK KOOL,
THE SHOW
THAT REALLY SHAPES HOW YOU SEE
THE WORLD. IN TODAY'S EPISODE,
WE MEET A WORLD CHAMPION
RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVER...
A kid says BE STRONG!
Hamza says BECOME SUPER DESTRUCT-O
ROBOTS; SEE IF SQUARES AND
CUBES
CAN GET ALONG; AND MEET THE
WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS ARTIST.
Picasso says I MAKE YOUR PORTRAIT.
Hamza says UH...
Picasso says I AM A CUBIST.
Hamza comes out of a large cube and says THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. YOU ARE IN LUCK TODAY,
BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE
OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE SHAPES:
THE CUBE. ON
LOOK KOOL.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Hamza says I LOVE THE CUBE. YOU SHOULD
LOVE THE CUBE. THE CUBE IS
ABSOLUTELY GREAT. WHAT IS A
CUBE? WELL, IT'S KINDA LIKE
A SQUARE, BUT WITH A LITTLE
BIT MORE SHAPE TO IT. SO WHAT
DIFFERENTIATES A CUBE FROM A
SQUARE? WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
THAT A CUBE IS A SQUARE
WITH A BIG PERSONALITY.
An animation shows a yellow square walking to a stage.
A male host says NEXT AUDITION. NAME PLEASE.
Square says UM, UH, SQUARE?
The host says OK, MR. SNARE, LET'S HEAR IT.
Square says UM, THAT'S SQUARE. ME ME ME.
A red cube comes in and grabs the microphone.
The cube says LA LAAA
(APPLAUSE)
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Hamza says HERE'S A CUBE YOU'VE PROBABLY
SEEN BEFORE. YOU HAVE TO TURN
THESE PARTS TO MAKE SURE YOU GET
ALL THE SAME COLOR SQUARES
ON ONE SIDE. I CAN SOLVE THIS
IN TEN SECONDS FLAT.
START THE CLOCK.
HA. TEN SECONDS FLAT.
I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT.
HA! OH.
The cube is not solved.
(music plays)
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT! WHOA! ARE YOU
SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
A hologram of the cube rises.
Hamza says IT'S
PRETTY WILD, HUH? IT LOOKS LIKE
A CUBE IS MADE OUT OF 6 SQUARES
THAT ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE. HUH.
SO THIS PUZZLE IS A CUBE AND
THERE WAS THE BOX THAT I JUMPED
OUT OF EARLIER. WHAT OTHER
CUBE-SHAPED THINGS ARE THERE,
I WONDER? LET'S GO LOOKING
FOR CUBES. AHA! I'M SURE
THERE'S A CUBE UNDER THIS.
Hamza lifts an orange cube that sits on the studio.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says AH! COOL CAT, DON'T DO THAT.
YOU STARTLED ME.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME,
COOL CAT? ANYWAY, THERE'S WAY
MORE CUBE SHAPES OUT THERE. WHO
KNOWS? THERE COULD BE ONE RIGHT
UNDER YOUR NOSE. WE BETTER GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Han Ru and Stefano appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Hamza says HI, INVESTIGATORS.
Han Ru says HEY.
Stefano says HI, HAMZA.
Hamza says I NEED YOUR HELP TO FIND
SOME THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE
THAT ARE CUBE-SHAPED, LIKE
THIS RUBIK'S CUBE.
Stefano says I LOVE RUBIK'S CUBES.
Hamza says EXCELLENT. SO GET GOING.
They say OK.
In a kitchen, Han Ru says THAT WE USE IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
WOULD YOU THINK THE TOASTER
WOULD COUNT?
Stefano says WELL, IT'S RECTANGULAR.
Han Ru says NO.
HEY, DO THESE COUNT AS CUBES?
Han Ru finds dice.
Stefano says HEY.
The Computer says CUBE IDENTIFIED.
Han Ru takes a picture of Stefano holding the dice as if they were his eyes.
Hamza says HEY. LET'S SEE WHAT OUR
MIND'S EYE COMPUTER HAS TO SAY.
The Computer says THE GAME OF DICE IS ONE OF
THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD. THE
EARLIEST DICE WERE MADE OUT OF
BONES. MOST DICE ARE CUBES, SO
THEY HAVE 6 SIDES, BUT THEY
ALSO
COME IN MANY OTHER SHAPES. THE
DOTS ON DICE ARE ARRANGED SO
THE OPPOSITE SIDES ALWAYS ADD
UP
TO 7. HEY, 7 IS MY LUCKY
NUMBER.
Han Ru says DO YOU SEE ANY CUBES?
Stefano opens the refrigerator and says OH, TRUST ME I DON'T SEE
ANY
CUBES--I SEE 2, 4, 6,
8, 10, 12, 14 CUBES.
The Computer says THIS ICE HAS A RECTANGULAR
SHAPE. NOT ACTUALLY A CUBE.
Holding an ice cube tray, Han Ru says SO THOSE CUBES AREN'T CUBES.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD,
INVESTIGATORS. BUT KEEP LOOKING.
Han Ru says HEY LOOK, IT'S A SUGAR CUBE.
The Computer says SUGAR CUBES WERE INVENTED BY
JACOB CHRISTOPH RAD IN EUROPE
IN 1843. BEFORE THAT, SUGAR
CANE
IN HARD LOAVES. WHEN HIS WIFE
HURT HERSELF CUTTING ONE UP, HE
INVENTED THE SUGAR CUBE AND IT
CAUGHT ON. IT WAS SUCH A
POPULAR
INVENTION THAT THIS STATUE
WAS CREATED TO HONOR IT.
The animated cube appears.
The Cube says LA LAAA
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. AHH!
People in the audience throw flowers at him.
(SNIFFING)
The Cube says AH... AH... ACHOO!
(CROWD GASPING)
The cube explodes and looks dismantled.
The Cube says UH-OH.
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in an open field.
Hamza says TO MY RIGHT, I HAVE YOUSSEF
AND SOPHIA, TEAM YELLOW.
(GROWLING)
The Yellow Team says GO, TEAM YELLOW!
Hamza says AND TO MY LEFT, I HAVE ANNA
AND MATTHEW, TEAM BLUE.
The Blue Team says YAY!
Hamza says YOU SEE THIS PILE
OF CUBES BEHIND ME?
WE'RE GONNA BEING USING THESE
CUBES TO BUILD A MEGA CUBE. THE
FIRST TEAM TO USE 64 CUBES TO
BUILD THEIR MEGA CUBE WINS THE
CHALLENGE, BUT BEWARE: IN ORDER
TO GET TO YOUR CUBES, YOU HAVE
TO FACE THE MOST GRUESOME, MOST
FEROCIOUS AND DANGEROUSLY NASTY
CREATURE KNOWN TO MAN. IT'S THE
LEGENDARY HOUND OF DOOM, COCO.
Coco is a small dog.
The kids say AW!
Hamza says BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED BY
COCO'S
OUTWARDLY FRIENDLY APPEARANCE!
ONLY THE BRAVEST CUBE WARRIORS
HAVE RETRIEVED THE CUBE
TREASURE FROM HER NASTY GRIP.
The kids say AW, COCO!
Hamza says NO. NO. NO. YOU DON'T SEEM
TO BE TAKING ME SERIOUSLY.
(LAUGHING)
Hamza says ALRIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET THIS
CHALLENGE STARTED. ON EACH TURN,
TEAMS WILL ROLL THE DICE TO
DETERMINE HOW MANY CUBES THEY
GET TO PICK UP. ALRIGHT, ROLLED
A FIVE; CRAWL THROUGH THE LAIR.
THEN THEY MUST CRAWL THROUGH
THE LAIR OF THE HOUND OF DOOM.
Matthew and Anna start to play.
Matthew says OH, HI, COCO!
Anna says CUTE.
Hamza says AND PICK UP THE NUMBER
OF CUBES THAT THEY ROLLED
WITH THE DICE.
Anna says SO YOU BRING 3, I'LL BRING 2.
Sophia rolls the dice.
Hamza says ALRIGHT, 7.
Matthew says 1, 2, 3, 4, AND I GOTTA GO
GRAB THE LAST ONE. GOT THE LAST
ONE. LET'S START SOMETHING.
PUT IT HERE. PUT IT HERE.
Sophia says AW, HE'S SO CUTE.
Hamza says WHO WILL BE THE FIRST
TO FINISH THEIR MEGA CUBE?
STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
At the studio, Hamza says WE HAVE TREVOR AND JASON READY
TO TAKE ON THIS BRAIN BENDER.
Trevor and Jason say HI.
Hamza says OK, TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO
STACK UP THESE CUBES SO THAT
EVERY CUBE TOUCHES EVERY OTHER
CUBE. GIVE IT A TRY.
Trevor says STACK THEM ON THE CORNERS.
Jason says MAYBE.
Hamza says THIS IS A REALLY HARD BRAIN
BENDER. EACH CUBE NEEDS TO TOUCH
THE OTHER 5 CUBES, EVEN IF
IT'S JUST A TINY LITTLE BIT.
Jason says NO, IT DOESN'T WORK 'CAUSE
THEN THE YELLOW ONE WOULDN'T
TOUCH THE GREEN ONE. WE COULD
BUILD SOME SORT OF PYRAMID.
NO, 'CAUSE THEN THE RED ONE
WON'T TOUCH THE GREEN.
I'M THINKING MAYBE... OH,
I HAVE IT. THIS GOES LIKE THAT.
THIS GOES LIKE THIS. AND
THEN... IT DOESN'T WORK.
Trevor says I HAVE IT. I HAVE IT.
THAT AND THEN THAT, WITH THE...
OH, THERE WE GO. THIS OVER HERE.
THERE. THEY ALL TOUCH.
Hamza says YES, YOU'VE GOT IT! IT'S
TRICKIER THAN IT LOOKS, HUH?
YOU'VE GOT 3 CUBES ON THE BOTTOM
LAYER IN A TRIANGLE FORMATION
AND 3 MORE STACKED ON TOP,
BUT ROTATED SLIGHTLY. LOOK,
EVERY CUBE IS TOUCHING ALL
THE OTHER ONES AT ONCE.
The animated cube says SQUARE, GIVE ME THAT CHILLI
DOG. FOR I AM A FAMOUS CUBE,
AND YOU ARE JUST A SQUARE.
MMM. GULP. UH-OH.
(FARTING)
The cube explodes and turns into six red squares.
Square says HEY! YOU'RE JUST
A BUNCH OF SQUARES!
Cube says IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
I AM JUST A BUNCH OF SQUARES.
(FARTING)
OOPS.
Square says HEY BUDDY, UH, NEXT TIME,
HOLD THE BEANS.
(LAUGHING)
Hamza says ARE YOU READY FOR SOME CUBE
MAGIC? LAY OUT SOME ICE CUBES
IN A TRAY LIKE THIS. LET'S GO
WITH 5. NOW WET A LONG PIECE
OF STRING AND LAY IT ACROSS THE
CUBES LIKE SO. THEN, YOU WANT TO
SPRINKLE SOME SALT ON TOP OF THE
STRING WHERE IT TOUCHES THE ICE.
THE SALT MELTS THE ICE A LITTLE,
BUT THEN THE MELTED ICE
REFREEZES AROUND THE STRING,
CAUSING THE CUBES TO STICK TO
IT. VOILÀ. AN ICE CUBE NECKLACE.
Hamza wraps the string around his neck.
Hamza says AH! AH! COLD, COLD, COLD! AH!
AH! THAT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA,
DON'T EVER DO THAT. MIGHT
AS WELL NOT WASTE THE ICE.
He puts the necklace in a drink and tastes it.
Hamza says YUCK. SALTY. UGH.
(ELECTRONIC SIGNAL)
I'M BEING TOLD WE HAVE A VERY
SPECIAL GUEST. LET'S GO MEET
HIM. TODAY, WE ARE INTERVIEWING
WORLD FAMOUS PAINTER PABLO
PICASSO. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF
HIM. HE'S A REALLY FAMOUS ARTIST
KNOWN FOR DOING THESE WACKY-
LOOKING PAINTINGS THAT ROCKED
THE ART WORLD. WE NOW JOIN HIM
LIVE AT HIS STUDIO IN SPAIN.
MR. PICASSO.
Hamza appears as Picasso on a small screen. He’s wearing a striped black and white shirt and a painter's palette hat.
Picasso says HAMZA, MY FRIEND. GOOD TO SEE
YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, HAMZA.
Hamza says YOU TOO, SIR. WHAT ARE YOU
WORKING ON THERE?
Picasso says WELL, IT'S A FUNNY COINCIDENCE
YOU CALL, BECAUSE I MAKE THIS
AS A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
Hamza says FOR ME? REALLY?
Picasso says YES. I MAKE YOUR PORTRAIT.
Hamza says IS THAT WHAT I REALLY LOOK
LIKE? UH, HANG ON A SECOND.
Hamza looks himself in a mirror and sighs.
Hamza says SORRY, I JUST NEEDED TO CHECK
SOMETHING. WOW, A GIFT FROM
PABLO PICASSO. WHAT AN HONOR.
Picasso says I AM HAPPY TO DO FOR YOU, MY
FRIEND. I MAKE ART ALL THE TIME.
I DO YOUR FACE. I DO THE MURALS.
I MAKE DOODLES IN MY BOOK.
I CAN'T STOP.
Hamza says ACTUALLY, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
43,000 WORKS OF ART
IN YOUR LIFETIME.
Picasso says AM I? I SHOULD BUY MORE PAINT.
Hamza says I ACTUALLY WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT ONE OF YOUR PAINTING
STYLES THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
INVENTED CALLED CUBISM.
Picasso says AH YES. GEORGE BRAQUE, THE
PAINTER, AND I CREATED THAT SOME
YEARS AGO. YOU SEE THIS PORTRAIT
OF A WOMAN? THIS IS HOW EVERYONE
PAINTS UNTIL NOW. WELL, WE SMASH
THAT. WE TAKE SOMETHING REAL AND
TURN IT INTO ANGLES AND SHAPES
LIKE SHATTERED GLASS
AND WE MAKE THIS.
Hamza says WOW. I CAN REALLY SEE WHY
IT'S CALLED CUBISM. IT LOOKS
LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF CUBES
AND OTHER GEOMETRIC SHAPES ALL
SMASHED TOGETHER. AND SINCE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CUBES, CAN
YOU GIVE US ANY INSIDE SCOOP
ON CUBE SHAPES THAT YOU WANT
TO SHARE WITH US?
Picasso says YES. I KNOW EVERYTHING THERE
IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CUBE. I AM
A CUBIST. THIS IS A CUBE, YES?
Hamza says YES.
Picasso says YOU SEE, EACH SIDE IS A
SQUARE. IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS FACE
OF CUBE. YOU SEE THESE POINTY
CORNERS HERE? THEY ARE KNOWN
AS VERTEX. IT IS WHERE THE SIDES
MEET. THERE ARE 8 VERTICES IN
TOTAL, AND YOU SEE THERE ARE
EDGES. IN TOTAL, IF YOU COUNT,
THERE ARE 12.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ANOTHER NAME
FOR CUBE IS SQUARE PRISM,
OR SIX-FACED POLYHEDRON,
OR A PLATONIC SOLID?
Hamza says OK, NOW YOU'RE
JUST SHOWING OFF.
Picasso says OR A HEXAHEDRON.
Hamza says OR YOU COULD CALL IT A CUBE.
ONE SYLLABLE.
Picasso says BUT HAMZA, MY FRIEND,
WHY LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE WORD
WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY? WHY
LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONLY ONE KIND
OF ART WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT STYLES?
Hamza says YOU REALLY THINK OUTSIDE OF
THE BOX... OR SHOULD I SAY CUBE?
Picasso says THANK YOU, MY FRIEND.
THANK YOU.
Hamza says THANK YOU, MR. PICASSO.
WE'RE BACK AT THE MEGA CUBE
CHALLENGE. TEAMS HAVE TO
COLLECT
AND STACK 64 BOXES TO MAKE
ONE HUGE CUBE.
Anna says NO, STACK THEM UP HERE, HERE,
HERE, HERE, HERE. STACK THEM UP;
I'LL MOVE THESE.
Hamza says ANNA'S REORGANIZING
TEAM BLUE'S PILE OF BOXES.
I THINK SHE'S ONTO SOMETHING.
Anna says CAREFUL.
Hamza says BLUE HAS 45 CUBES OUT OF 64.
YELLOW HAS 48, BUT THEIR PILE
IS NOT AS TALL. CAN YOU SEE
WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?
Sophia says HI, CUTIE PIE.
Hamza says TEAM BLUE HAS 53 CUBES.
THEY'RE ALMOST DONE.
Sophie rolls the dice and says 10!
Hamza says BUT YELLOW ROLLS A 10. GREAT
NUMBER. THAT COULD PUSH THEM
OVER THE TOP.
Sophia says WAIT, ARE WE DONE?
Youssef says ALMOST.
Anna says HERE, START. STACK THEM UP.
Hamza says TEAM YELLOW HAS THEIR LAST
CUBE... BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
YOU GUYS DO HAVE 64 CUBES, BUT
YOU HAVE NOT MANAGED TO COMPLETE
A MEGA CUBE. SO THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG IN THE
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
OF YOUR MEGA CUBE.
Anna says QUICK. QUICK.
Hamza says YELLOW TEAM CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR CUBE.
MEANWHILE, BLUE TEAM ARE
GATHERING THEIR LAST BOXES.
THEY
SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING.
Anna says WE'RE DONE!
Hamza says TEAM BLUE THINKS THEY'VE
COMPLETED THEIR MEGA CUBE.
LET'S CHECK BOTH CUBES
USING MY MIND'S EYEGLASSES.
The Computer says ACTIVATION. TEAM YELLOW:
SHAPE
IS CALLED A RECTANGULAR PRISM.
SIDES NOT OF EQUAL LENGTH; ALSO
4 EXTRA BOXES TO THE STRUCTURE.
OBJECT IS NOT A CUBE. TEAM
BLUE;
HEIGHT, WIDTH, DEPTH, ALL
EQUAL.
OBJECT IS A CUBE.
The computer screen shows what she explains.
Hamza says AND TEAM BLUE HAS COMPLETED
ITS MEGA CUBE!
Matthew says YEAH!!
Hamza says NOW, TEAM YELLOW, I JUST HAVE
TO ASK, BOTH TEAMS ACTUALLY DID
HAVE 64 CUBES; WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH YOUR DESIGN?
Youssef says WELL, ON ONE OF THE SIDES,
WE HAD 5 CUBES.
Hamza says OH...
Youssef says AND ON THE OTHER SIDE,
WE HAD 4.
Hamza says AND WE KNOW THAT IN A CUBE...
Youssef says THERE IS ONLY...
Matthew says AN EQUAL AMOUNT ON EVERY SIDE.
Hamza says ON EVERY SIDE. WELL, VALIANT
EFFORT. WHAT WAS THE HARDEST
PART ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE?
Anna says LIKE, WHERE TO PUT THE CUBES
AND HOW TO PUT THE CUBES,
AND LIKE, HOW MANY CUBES.
Hamza says ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.
AND HOW 'BOUT YOU, TEAM YELLOW?
Youssef says FOR ME, IT'S CROSSING
THE LAIR, BECAUSE...
Hamza says TERRIFYING.
Youssef says NO, CUTE. COCO'S THERE
AND STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU
AND LIKE, "OH, HE'S SO CUTE."
AND THEN YOU JUST CAN'T STOP.
Anna says IT'S TOO CUTE.
YOU WANT TO STAY THERE.
Hamza says SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. PERHAPS
NOT IN THE WAY WE INTENDED, BUT
THE HOUND OF DOOM WAS INDEED
TERRIFYING AND IT DID HINDER THE
PERFORMANCE OF ALL OF OUR CUBE
WARRIORS. ALRIGHT, I HAVE AWARDS
FOR ALL YOU BRAVE CUBE WARRIORS.
Hamza places cardboard cubes that have faces on the players’ heads.
Anna says THIS IS REALLY BIG.
Hamza says CUBE HELMETS OF VICTORY!
NOW DESTROY YOUR CUBES.
DESTROY. DESTROY.
The kids say DESTROY. DESTROY.
Against a background of colourful dancing cubes, Hamza sings I GOT A FEW THINGS
THAT I WANNA SAY
ABOUT A SHAPE
MADE OUT OF SQUARES THIS WAY
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG IF YOU KNOW THAT
SQUARES MAKE UP A CUBE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG IF YOU KNOW
THAT CUBES HAVE THREE
DIMENSIONS TOO
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG
IF YOU THINK THAT THESE DICE
ARE CUBES, IT'S TRUE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY, CLAP
ALONG IF YOU FEEL THAT A CUBE
MAKES AN AWESOME SHOE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
YOU CAN BREAK IT DOWN
INTO SIX SQUARES
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
EIGHT VERTICES AND TWELVE
SIDES THEY SHARE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
IT'S A HEXAHEDRON
THAT'S A FANCY WORD
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
THAT'S WHAT MATHEMATICIANS
CALL IT
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says ANTOINE IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD,
BUT HE'S ALREADY A WORLD
CHAMPION RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVER. HE
HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE FASTEST
ONE HANDED SOLVE: 8.75 SECONDS!
HE CAN SOLVE THEM WITH HIS FEET
FASTER THAN MOST PEOPLE CAN
DREAM OF SOLVING ONE WITH THEIR
HANDS. HE CAN EVEN SOLVE THEM
BLINDFOLDED. AMAZING!
The investigators stand next to Antoine. He is solving a Rubik cube using only one hand.
Stefano says WHOA! GOOD!
Antoine says HERE YOU GO.
Han Ru says HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Hamza says YEAH. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Antoine says FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHERE THE COLORS MOVE WHEN YOU
TURN EVERY SIDE. THEN YOU'VE GOT
TO BE ABLE TO LEARN A METHOD
WHICH CREATES BLOCKS OF COLORS
THAT ARE SOLVED, LIKE HERE,
YOU CAN SEE THIS COLOR HERE IS
SOLVED, THIS ONE IS SOLVED, AND
THEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA MAKE THE
BLOCK BIGGER AND BIGGER UNTIL
YOU HAVE A REALLY BIG SOLVED
BLOCK, SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THESE
COLORS ARE IN THE CORRECT PLACE
EXCEPT FOR THE LAST ONE. AND
THE LAST ONE IS A BIT MORE
DIFFICULT. FOR THAT, YOU REALLY
HAVE TO LEARN CERTAIN MOVES
TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE REST.
Han Ru says WHOA.
Antoine says IF YOU'RE ABLE TO LEARN
THE METHOD, IT'S A LOT LESS
DIFFICULT THAN IT LOOKS LIKE.
Han Ru says YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M DOING WHEN I DO IT.
Antoine says SO DO YOU WANT TO DO
A HANDS-ON TO HELP YOU
FIX YOUR CUBES BETTER?
Han Ru says YEAH.
Stefano says SURE.
Hamza says I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT YOU DO. I'M GONNA
KEEP WORKING ON THIS.
Antoine says SO HERE WE'VE GOT WHAT WE CALL
CUBE NET PATTERNS. THERE ARE
11 DIFFERENT CUBE NET PATTERNS,
AND BASICALLY WHAT THESE ARE,
THEY'RE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU
CAN GET SQUARES TO ARRANGE THEM
SO THAT IF YOU FOLD THEM
TOGETHER, IT CREATES A CUBE.
Han Ru says HEY, IT'S TRUE.
Antoine says OK, HOW ABOUT
LET'S START WITH THIS ONE?
Stefano says YEAH.
Antoine says YOU FOLD AND
YOU WILL DO THE TAPE.
Han Ru says OK. OK, LET ME JUST GET THAT
TAPE RIGHT NOW. RIGHT HERE.
Stefano says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Antoine says YOU GOT A CUBE.
Han Ru says OK, LET'S DO ANOTHER ONE.
RIGHT THERE.
Antoine says WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TRY THIS ONE NOW?
Stefano says YEAH.
Han Ru says OK.
Hamza says SO THERE ARE 11 CUBE NETS FOR
A CUBE. THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED
TO THE 43 QUINTILLION POSSIBLE
WAYS TO ARRANGE THE COLORS ON A
RUBIK'S CUBE. GOOD THING
THERE'S
A CUBE FOR BEGINNERS.
Antoine says WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY
ONE OF THESE?
Han Ru says OK.
Stefano says I SURE WOULD.
Antoine says HERE, YOU TRY THIS ONE. HAMZA,
I THINK THIS TYPE OF CUBE WOULD
BE A BIT BETTER FOR YOU TOO,
BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE, A NORMAL
ONE HAS 3 AND THIS JUST HAS 2.
Looking at the large screen, Hamza says COOL. ONCE I MASTER THAT, IT'S
ON TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Antoine says IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE
2 HOURS A DAY, THEN YEAH,
I THINK YOU'D BE GOOD FOR
THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Hamza says THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GONNA
HAPPEN. I BOW TO YOU, ANTOINE,
REIGNING RUBIK'S CUBE CHAMPION
OF THE WORLD.
Stefano says YEAH.
Antoine says IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE
TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING.
Hamza says THANKS, ANTOINE.
THANKS, INVESTIGATORS.
Stefano says BYE, HAMZA.
Antoine and Han Ru say BYE.
Hamza says SO, I STARTED BY ASKING WHAT
MAKES A CUBE DIFFERENT FROM A
SQUARE? WELL, LET'S PUT IT THIS
WAY: A CUBE IS JUST A SQUARE
THAT HAS ENTERED... THE THIRD
DIMENSION.
The studio is darker and Hamza wears a black hat.
Hamza says WHEN YOU TAKE A 2D
SQUARE, HAVING ONLY HEIGHT AND
WIDTH, AND MAKE IT 3D BY ADDING
DEPTH, YOU GET A CUBE. AND WHEN
YOU GET A CUBE 3D, YOU CAN
ROTATE IT AND SEE THAT IT HAS
6 FACES THAT ARE ALL SQUARES OF
THE SAME SIZE. IT HAS 8 VERTICES
AND 12 EDGES. THAT'S JUST WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN A SQUARE ENTERS THE
THIRD DIMENSION. SO CUBES MAY BE
A LITTLE FULL OF THEMSELVES,
WHAT WITH THEIR 3 DIMENSIONS AND
FANCY NAMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE
ANYTHING WITHOUT THE SQUARE.
GOOD THING SQUARES DON'T
HOLD GRUDGES. HMM.
The animated square and cube sing LA LAAAAA
(APPLAUSE)
They hold hands. The square shakes the cube and it turns into six squares. They bow to the audience and wink at each other.
Hamza says CUBES REALLY MAKE ME HAPPY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE LIKE ME
IS INSIDE THEM. HA! UNTIL NEXT
TIME, KEEP LOOKING COOL.
Hamza leaves the studio and another Hamza comes out of the large cube.
Hamza says SHH...
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Picasso says I SHOULD BUY MORE PAINT.
Logos: TVO Kids, Apartment 11 Productions.
Hamza says WELCOME TO
LOOK KOOL,
THE SHOW
THAT REALLY SHAPES HOW YOU SEE
THE WORLD. IN TODAY'S EPISODE,
WE MEET A WORLD CHAMPION
RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVER...
A kid says BE STRONG!
Hamza says BECOME SUPER DESTRUCT-O
ROBOTS; SEE IF SQUARES AND
CUBES
CAN GET ALONG; AND MEET THE
WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS ARTIST.
Picasso says I MAKE YOUR PORTRAIT.
Hamza says UH...
Picasso says I AM A CUBIST.
Hamza comes out of a large cube and says THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. YOU ARE IN LUCK TODAY,
BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE
OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE SHAPES:
THE CUBE. ON
LOOK KOOL.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Hamza says I LOVE THE CUBE. YOU SHOULD
LOVE THE CUBE. THE CUBE IS
ABSOLUTELY GREAT. WHAT IS A
CUBE? WELL, IT'S KINDA LIKE
A SQUARE, BUT WITH A LITTLE
BIT MORE SHAPE TO IT. SO WHAT
DIFFERENTIATES A CUBE FROM A
SQUARE? WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
THAT A CUBE IS A SQUARE
WITH A BIG PERSONALITY.
An animation shows a yellow square walking to a stage.
A male host says NEXT AUDITION. NAME PLEASE.
Square says UM, UH, SQUARE?
The host says OK, MR. SNARE, LET'S HEAR IT.
Square says UM, THAT'S SQUARE. ME ME ME.
A red cube comes in and grabs the microphone.
The cube says LA LAAA
(APPLAUSE)
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Hamza says HERE'S A CUBE YOU'VE PROBABLY
SEEN BEFORE. YOU HAVE TO TURN
THESE PARTS TO MAKE SURE YOU GET
ALL THE SAME COLOR SQUARES
ON ONE SIDE. I CAN SOLVE THIS
IN TEN SECONDS FLAT.
START THE CLOCK.
HA. TEN SECONDS FLAT.
I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT.
HA! OH.
The cube is not solved.
(music plays)
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT! WHOA! ARE YOU
SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
A hologram of the cube rises.
Hamza says IT'S
PRETTY WILD, HUH? IT LOOKS LIKE
A CUBE IS MADE OUT OF 6 SQUARES
THAT ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE. HUH.
SO THIS PUZZLE IS A CUBE AND
THERE WAS THE BOX THAT I JUMPED
OUT OF EARLIER. WHAT OTHER
CUBE-SHAPED THINGS ARE THERE,
I WONDER? LET'S GO LOOKING
FOR CUBES. AHA! I'M SURE
THERE'S A CUBE UNDER THIS.
Hamza lifts an orange cube that sits on the studio.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says AH! COOL CAT, DON'T DO THAT.
YOU STARTLED ME.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME,
COOL CAT? ANYWAY, THERE'S WAY
MORE CUBE SHAPES OUT THERE. WHO
KNOWS? THERE COULD BE ONE RIGHT
UNDER YOUR NOSE. WE BETTER GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Han Ru and Stefano appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Hamza says HI, INVESTIGATORS.
Han Ru says HEY.
Stefano says HI, HAMZA.
Hamza says I NEED YOUR HELP TO FIND
SOME THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE
THAT ARE CUBE-SHAPED, LIKE
THIS RUBIK'S CUBE.
Stefano says I LOVE RUBIK'S CUBES.
Hamza says EXCELLENT. SO GET GOING.
They say OK.
In a kitchen, Han Ru says THAT WE USE IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
WOULD YOU THINK THE TOASTER
WOULD COUNT?
Stefano says WELL, IT'S RECTANGULAR.
Han Ru says NO.
HEY, DO THESE COUNT AS CUBES?
Han Ru finds dice.
Stefano says HEY.
The Computer says CUBE IDENTIFIED.
Han Ru takes a picture of Stefano holding the dice as if they were his eyes.
Hamza says HEY. LET'S SEE WHAT OUR
MIND'S EYE COMPUTER HAS TO SAY.
The Computer says THE GAME OF DICE IS ONE OF
THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD. THE
EARLIEST DICE WERE MADE OUT OF
BONES. MOST DICE ARE CUBES, SO
THEY HAVE 6 SIDES, BUT THEY
ALSO
COME IN MANY OTHER SHAPES. THE
DOTS ON DICE ARE ARRANGED SO
THE OPPOSITE SIDES ALWAYS ADD
UP
TO 7. HEY, 7 IS MY LUCKY
NUMBER.
Han Ru says DO YOU SEE ANY CUBES?
Stefano opens the refrigerator and says OH, TRUST ME I DON'T SEE
ANY
CUBES--I SEE 2, 4, 6,
8, 10, 12, 14 CUBES.
The Computer says THIS ICE HAS A RECTANGULAR
SHAPE. NOT ACTUALLY A CUBE.
Holding an ice cube tray, Han Ru says SO THOSE CUBES AREN'T CUBES.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD,
INVESTIGATORS. BUT KEEP LOOKING.
Han Ru says HEY LOOK, IT'S A SUGAR CUBE.
The Computer says SUGAR CUBES WERE INVENTED BY
JACOB CHRISTOPH RAD IN EUROPE
IN 1843. BEFORE THAT, SUGAR
CANE
IN HARD LOAVES. WHEN HIS WIFE
HURT HERSELF CUTTING ONE UP, HE
INVENTED THE SUGAR CUBE AND IT
CAUGHT ON. IT WAS SUCH A
POPULAR
INVENTION THAT THIS STATUE
WAS CREATED TO HONOR IT.
The animated cube appears.
The Cube says LA LAAA
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. AHH!
People in the audience throw flowers at him.
(SNIFFING)
The Cube says AH... AH... ACHOO!
(CROWD GASPING)
The cube explodes and looks dismantled.
The Cube says UH-OH.
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in an open field.
Hamza says TO MY RIGHT, I HAVE YOUSSEF
AND SOPHIA, TEAM YELLOW.
(GROWLING)
The Yellow Team says GO, TEAM YELLOW!
Hamza says AND TO MY LEFT, I HAVE ANNA
AND MATTHEW, TEAM BLUE.
The Blue Team says YAY!
Hamza says YOU SEE THIS PILE
OF CUBES BEHIND ME?
WE'RE GONNA BEING USING THESE
CUBES TO BUILD A MEGA CUBE. THE
FIRST TEAM TO USE 64 CUBES TO
BUILD THEIR MEGA CUBE WINS THE
CHALLENGE, BUT BEWARE: IN ORDER
TO GET TO YOUR CUBES, YOU HAVE
TO FACE THE MOST GRUESOME, MOST
FEROCIOUS AND DANGEROUSLY NASTY
CREATURE KNOWN TO MAN. IT'S THE
LEGENDARY HOUND OF DOOM, COCO.
Coco is a small dog.
The kids say AW!
Hamza says BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED BY
COCO'S
OUTWARDLY FRIENDLY APPEARANCE!
ONLY THE BRAVEST CUBE WARRIORS
HAVE RETRIEVED THE CUBE
TREASURE FROM HER NASTY GRIP.
The kids say AW, COCO!
Hamza says NO. NO. NO. YOU DON'T SEEM
TO BE TAKING ME SERIOUSLY.
(LAUGHING)
Hamza says ALRIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET THIS
CHALLENGE STARTED. ON EACH TURN,
TEAMS WILL ROLL THE DICE TO
DETERMINE HOW MANY CUBES THEY
GET TO PICK UP. ALRIGHT, ROLLED
A FIVE; CRAWL THROUGH THE LAIR.
THEN THEY MUST CRAWL THROUGH
THE LAIR OF THE HOUND OF DOOM.
Matthew and Anna start to play.
Matthew says OH, HI, COCO!
Anna says CUTE.
Hamza says AND PICK UP THE NUMBER
OF CUBES THAT THEY ROLLED
WITH THE DICE.
Anna says SO YOU BRING 3, I'LL BRING 2.
Sophia rolls the dice.
Hamza says ALRIGHT, 7.
Matthew says 1, 2, 3, 4, AND I GOTTA GO
GRAB THE LAST ONE. GOT THE LAST
ONE. LET'S START SOMETHING.
PUT IT HERE. PUT IT HERE.
Sophia says AW, HE'S SO CUTE.
Hamza says WHO WILL BE THE FIRST
TO FINISH THEIR MEGA CUBE?
STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
At the studio, Hamza says WE HAVE TREVOR AND JASON READY
TO TAKE ON THIS BRAIN BENDER.
Trevor and Jason say HI.
Hamza says OK, TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO
STACK UP THESE CUBES SO THAT
EVERY CUBE TOUCHES EVERY OTHER
CUBE. GIVE IT A TRY.
Trevor says STACK THEM ON THE CORNERS.
Jason says MAYBE.
Hamza says THIS IS A REALLY HARD BRAIN
BENDER. EACH CUBE NEEDS TO TOUCH
THE OTHER 5 CUBES, EVEN IF
IT'S JUST A TINY LITTLE BIT.
Jason says NO, IT DOESN'T WORK 'CAUSE
THEN THE YELLOW ONE WOULDN'T
TOUCH THE GREEN ONE. WE COULD
BUILD SOME SORT OF PYRAMID.
NO, 'CAUSE THEN THE RED ONE
WON'T TOUCH THE GREEN.
I'M THINKING MAYBE... OH,
I HAVE IT. THIS GOES LIKE THAT.
THIS GOES LIKE THIS. AND
THEN... IT DOESN'T WORK.
Trevor says I HAVE IT. I HAVE IT.
THAT AND THEN THAT, WITH THE...
OH, THERE WE GO. THIS OVER HERE.
THERE. THEY ALL TOUCH.
Hamza says YES, YOU'VE GOT IT! IT'S
TRICKIER THAN IT LOOKS, HUH?
YOU'VE GOT 3 CUBES ON THE BOTTOM
LAYER IN A TRIANGLE FORMATION
AND 3 MORE STACKED ON TOP,
BUT ROTATED SLIGHTLY. LOOK,
EVERY CUBE IS TOUCHING ALL
THE OTHER ONES AT ONCE.
The animated cube says SQUARE, GIVE ME THAT CHILLI
DOG. FOR I AM A FAMOUS CUBE,
AND YOU ARE JUST A SQUARE.
MMM. GULP. UH-OH.
(FARTING)
The cube explodes and turns into six red squares.
Square says HEY! YOU'RE JUST
A BUNCH OF SQUARES!
Cube says IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
I AM JUST A BUNCH OF SQUARES.
(FARTING)
OOPS.
Square says HEY BUDDY, UH, NEXT TIME,
HOLD THE BEANS.
(LAUGHING)
Hamza says ARE YOU READY FOR SOME CUBE
MAGIC? LAY OUT SOME ICE CUBES
IN A TRAY LIKE THIS. LET'S GO
WITH 5. NOW WET A LONG PIECE
OF STRING AND LAY IT ACROSS THE
CUBES LIKE SO. THEN, YOU WANT TO
SPRINKLE SOME SALT ON TOP OF THE
STRING WHERE IT TOUCHES THE ICE.
THE SALT MELTS THE ICE A LITTLE,
BUT THEN THE MELTED ICE
REFREEZES AROUND THE STRING,
CAUSING THE CUBES TO STICK TO
IT. VOILÀ. AN ICE CUBE NECKLACE.
Hamza wraps the string around his neck.
Hamza says AH! AH! COLD, COLD, COLD! AH!
AH! THAT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA,
DON'T EVER DO THAT. MIGHT
AS WELL NOT WASTE THE ICE.
He puts the necklace in a drink and tastes it.
Hamza says YUCK. SALTY. UGH.
(ELECTRONIC SIGNAL)
I'M BEING TOLD WE HAVE A VERY
SPECIAL GUEST. LET'S GO MEET
HIM. TODAY, WE ARE INTERVIEWING
WORLD FAMOUS PAINTER PABLO
PICASSO. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF
HIM. HE'S A REALLY FAMOUS ARTIST
KNOWN FOR DOING THESE WACKY-
LOOKING PAINTINGS THAT ROCKED
THE ART WORLD. WE NOW JOIN HIM
LIVE AT HIS STUDIO IN SPAIN.
MR. PICASSO.
Hamza appears as Picasso on a small screen. He’s wearing a striped black and white shirt and a painter's palette hat.
Picasso says HAMZA, MY FRIEND. GOOD TO SEE
YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, HAMZA.
Hamza says YOU TOO, SIR. WHAT ARE YOU
WORKING ON THERE?
Picasso says WELL, IT'S A FUNNY COINCIDENCE
YOU CALL, BECAUSE I MAKE THIS
AS A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
Hamza says FOR ME? REALLY?
Picasso says YES. I MAKE YOUR PORTRAIT.
Hamza says IS THAT WHAT I REALLY LOOK
LIKE? UH, HANG ON A SECOND.
Hamza looks himself in a mirror and sighs.
Hamza says SORRY, I JUST NEEDED TO CHECK
SOMETHING. WOW, A GIFT FROM
PABLO PICASSO. WHAT AN HONOR.
Picasso says I AM HAPPY TO DO FOR YOU, MY
FRIEND. I MAKE ART ALL THE TIME.
I DO YOUR FACE. I DO THE MURALS.
I MAKE DOODLES IN MY BOOK.
I CAN'T STOP.
Hamza says ACTUALLY, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
43,000 WORKS OF ART
IN YOUR LIFETIME.
Picasso says AM I? I SHOULD BUY MORE PAINT.
Hamza says I ACTUALLY WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT ONE OF YOUR PAINTING
STYLES THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS
INVENTED CALLED CUBISM.
Picasso says AH YES. GEORGE BRAQUE, THE
PAINTER, AND I CREATED THAT SOME
YEARS AGO. YOU SEE THIS PORTRAIT
OF A WOMAN? THIS IS HOW EVERYONE
PAINTS UNTIL NOW. WELL, WE SMASH
THAT. WE TAKE SOMETHING REAL AND
TURN IT INTO ANGLES AND SHAPES
LIKE SHATTERED GLASS
AND WE MAKE THIS.
Hamza says WOW. I CAN REALLY SEE WHY
IT'S CALLED CUBISM. IT LOOKS
LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF CUBES
AND OTHER GEOMETRIC SHAPES ALL
SMASHED TOGETHER. AND SINCE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CUBES, CAN
YOU GIVE US ANY INSIDE SCOOP
ON CUBE SHAPES THAT YOU WANT
TO SHARE WITH US?
Picasso says YES. I KNOW EVERYTHING THERE
IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CUBE. I AM
A CUBIST. THIS IS A CUBE, YES?
Hamza says YES.
Picasso says YOU SEE, EACH SIDE IS A
SQUARE. IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS FACE
OF CUBE. YOU SEE THESE POINTY
CORNERS HERE? THEY ARE KNOWN
AS VERTEX. IT IS WHERE THE SIDES
MEET. THERE ARE 8 VERTICES IN
TOTAL, AND YOU SEE THERE ARE
EDGES. IN TOTAL, IF YOU COUNT,
THERE ARE 12.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ANOTHER NAME
FOR CUBE IS SQUARE PRISM,
OR SIX-FACED POLYHEDRON,
OR A PLATONIC SOLID?
Hamza says OK, NOW YOU'RE
JUST SHOWING OFF.
Picasso says OR A HEXAHEDRON.
Hamza says OR YOU COULD CALL IT A CUBE.
ONE SYLLABLE.
Picasso says BUT HAMZA, MY FRIEND,
WHY LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE WORD
WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY? WHY
LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONLY ONE KIND
OF ART WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT STYLES?
Hamza says YOU REALLY THINK OUTSIDE OF
THE BOX... OR SHOULD I SAY CUBE?
Picasso says THANK YOU, MY FRIEND.
THANK YOU.
Hamza says THANK YOU, MR. PICASSO.
WE'RE BACK AT THE MEGA CUBE
CHALLENGE. TEAMS HAVE TO
COLLECT
AND STACK 64 BOXES TO MAKE
ONE HUGE CUBE.
Anna says NO, STACK THEM UP HERE, HERE,
HERE, HERE, HERE. STACK THEM UP;
I'LL MOVE THESE.
Hamza says ANNA'S REORGANIZING
TEAM BLUE'S PILE OF BOXES.
I THINK SHE'S ONTO SOMETHING.
Anna says CAREFUL.
Hamza says BLUE HAS 45 CUBES OUT OF 64.
YELLOW HAS 48, BUT THEIR PILE
IS NOT AS TALL. CAN YOU SEE
WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?
Sophia says HI, CUTIE PIE.
Hamza says TEAM BLUE HAS 53 CUBES.
THEY'RE ALMOST DONE.
Sophie rolls the dice and says 10!
Hamza says BUT YELLOW ROLLS A 10. GREAT
NUMBER. THAT COULD PUSH THEM
OVER THE TOP.
Sophia says WAIT, ARE WE DONE?
Youssef says ALMOST.
Anna says HERE, START. STACK THEM UP.
Hamza says TEAM YELLOW HAS THEIR LAST
CUBE... BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
YOU GUYS DO HAVE 64 CUBES, BUT
YOU HAVE NOT MANAGED TO COMPLETE
A MEGA CUBE. SO THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG IN THE
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
OF YOUR MEGA CUBE.
Anna says QUICK. QUICK.
Hamza says YELLOW TEAM CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR CUBE.
MEANWHILE, BLUE TEAM ARE
GATHERING THEIR LAST BOXES.
THEY
SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING.
Anna says WE'RE DONE!
Hamza says TEAM BLUE THINKS THEY'VE
COMPLETED THEIR MEGA CUBE.
LET'S CHECK BOTH CUBES
USING MY MIND'S EYEGLASSES.
The Computer says ACTIVATION. TEAM YELLOW:
SHAPE
IS CALLED A RECTANGULAR PRISM.
SIDES NOT OF EQUAL LENGTH; ALSO
4 EXTRA BOXES TO THE STRUCTURE.
OBJECT IS NOT A CUBE. TEAM
BLUE;
HEIGHT, WIDTH, DEPTH, ALL
EQUAL.
OBJECT IS A CUBE.
The computer screen shows what she explains.
Hamza says AND TEAM BLUE HAS COMPLETED
ITS MEGA CUBE!
Matthew says YEAH!!
Hamza says NOW, TEAM YELLOW, I JUST HAVE
TO ASK, BOTH TEAMS ACTUALLY DID
HAVE 64 CUBES; WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH YOUR DESIGN?
Youssef says WELL, ON ONE OF THE SIDES,
WE HAD 5 CUBES.
Hamza says OH...
Youssef says AND ON THE OTHER SIDE,
WE HAD 4.
Hamza says AND WE KNOW THAT IN A CUBE...
Youssef says THERE IS ONLY...
Matthew says AN EQUAL AMOUNT ON EVERY SIDE.
Hamza says ON EVERY SIDE. WELL, VALIANT
EFFORT. WHAT WAS THE HARDEST
PART ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE?
Anna says LIKE, WHERE TO PUT THE CUBES
AND HOW TO PUT THE CUBES,
AND LIKE, HOW MANY CUBES.
Hamza says ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY.
AND HOW 'BOUT YOU, TEAM YELLOW?
Youssef says FOR ME, IT'S CROSSING
THE LAIR, BECAUSE...
Hamza says TERRIFYING.
Youssef says NO, CUTE. COCO'S THERE
AND STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU
AND LIKE, "OH, HE'S SO CUTE."
AND THEN YOU JUST CAN'T STOP.
Anna says IT'S TOO CUTE.
YOU WANT TO STAY THERE.
Hamza says SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. PERHAPS
NOT IN THE WAY WE INTENDED, BUT
THE HOUND OF DOOM WAS INDEED
TERRIFYING AND IT DID HINDER THE
PERFORMANCE OF ALL OF OUR CUBE
WARRIORS. ALRIGHT, I HAVE AWARDS
FOR ALL YOU BRAVE CUBE WARRIORS.
Hamza places cardboard cubes that have faces on the players’ heads.
Anna says THIS IS REALLY BIG.
Hamza says CUBE HELMETS OF VICTORY!
NOW DESTROY YOUR CUBES.
DESTROY. DESTROY.
The kids say DESTROY. DESTROY.
Against a background of colourful dancing cubes, Hamza sings I GOT A FEW THINGS
THAT I WANNA SAY
ABOUT A SHAPE
MADE OUT OF SQUARES THIS WAY
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG IF YOU KNOW THAT
SQUARES MAKE UP A CUBE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG IF YOU KNOW
THAT CUBES HAVE THREE
DIMENSIONS TOO
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
CLAP ALONG
IF YOU THINK THAT THESE DICE
ARE CUBES, IT'S TRUE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY, CLAP
ALONG IF YOU FEEL THAT A CUBE
MAKES AN AWESOME SHOE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
YOU CAN BREAK IT DOWN
INTO SIX SQUARES
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
EIGHT VERTICES AND TWELVE
SIDES THEY SHARE
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
IT'S A HEXAHEDRON
THAT'S A FANCY WORD
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
THAT'S WHAT MATHEMATICIANS
CALL IT
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
CUBES MAKE ME HAPPY
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says ANTOINE IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD,
BUT HE'S ALREADY A WORLD
CHAMPION RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVER. HE
HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE FASTEST
ONE HANDED SOLVE: 8.75 SECONDS!
HE CAN SOLVE THEM WITH HIS FEET
FASTER THAN MOST PEOPLE CAN
DREAM OF SOLVING ONE WITH THEIR
HANDS. HE CAN EVEN SOLVE THEM
BLINDFOLDED. AMAZING!
The investigators stand next to Antoine. He is solving a Rubik cube using only one hand.
Stefano says WHOA! GOOD!
Antoine says HERE YOU GO.
Han Ru says HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Hamza says YEAH. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Antoine says FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHERE THE COLORS MOVE WHEN YOU
TURN EVERY SIDE. THEN YOU'VE GOT
TO BE ABLE TO LEARN A METHOD
WHICH CREATES BLOCKS OF COLORS
THAT ARE SOLVED, LIKE HERE,
YOU CAN SEE THIS COLOR HERE IS
SOLVED, THIS ONE IS SOLVED, AND
THEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA MAKE THE
BLOCK BIGGER AND BIGGER UNTIL
YOU HAVE A REALLY BIG SOLVED
BLOCK, SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THESE
COLORS ARE IN THE CORRECT PLACE
EXCEPT FOR THE LAST ONE. AND
THE LAST ONE IS A BIT MORE
DIFFICULT. FOR THAT, YOU REALLY
HAVE TO LEARN CERTAIN MOVES
TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE REST.
Han Ru says WHOA.
Antoine says IF YOU'RE ABLE TO LEARN
THE METHOD, IT'S A LOT LESS
DIFFICULT THAN IT LOOKS LIKE.
Han Ru says YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M DOING WHEN I DO IT.
Antoine says SO DO YOU WANT TO DO
A HANDS-ON TO HELP YOU
FIX YOUR CUBES BETTER?
Han Ru says YEAH.
Stefano says SURE.
Hamza says I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT YOU DO. I'M GONNA
KEEP WORKING ON THIS.
Antoine says SO HERE WE'VE GOT WHAT WE CALL
CUBE NET PATTERNS. THERE ARE
11 DIFFERENT CUBE NET PATTERNS,
AND BASICALLY WHAT THESE ARE,
THEY'RE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU
CAN GET SQUARES TO ARRANGE THEM
SO THAT IF YOU FOLD THEM
TOGETHER, IT CREATES A CUBE.
Han Ru says HEY, IT'S TRUE.
Antoine says OK, HOW ABOUT
LET'S START WITH THIS ONE?
Stefano says YEAH.
Antoine says YOU FOLD AND
YOU WILL DO THE TAPE.
Han Ru says OK. OK, LET ME JUST GET THAT
TAPE RIGHT NOW. RIGHT HERE.
Stefano says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Antoine says YOU GOT A CUBE.
Han Ru says OK, LET'S DO ANOTHER ONE.
RIGHT THERE.
Antoine says WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TRY THIS ONE NOW?
Stefano says YEAH.
Han Ru says OK.
Hamza says SO THERE ARE 11 CUBE NETS FOR
A CUBE. THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED
TO THE 43 QUINTILLION POSSIBLE
WAYS TO ARRANGE THE COLORS ON A
RUBIK'S CUBE. GOOD THING
THERE'S
A CUBE FOR BEGINNERS.
Antoine says WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY
ONE OF THESE?
Han Ru says OK.
Stefano says I SURE WOULD.
Antoine says HERE, YOU TRY THIS ONE. HAMZA,
I THINK THIS TYPE OF CUBE WOULD
BE A BIT BETTER FOR YOU TOO,
BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE, A NORMAL
ONE HAS 3 AND THIS JUST HAS 2.
Looking at the large screen, Hamza says COOL. ONCE I MASTER THAT, IT'S
ON TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Antoine says IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE
2 HOURS A DAY, THEN YEAH,
I THINK YOU'D BE GOOD FOR
THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Hamza says THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GONNA
HAPPEN. I BOW TO YOU, ANTOINE,
REIGNING RUBIK'S CUBE CHAMPION
OF THE WORLD.
Stefano says YEAH.
Antoine says IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE
TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING.
Hamza says THANKS, ANTOINE.
THANKS, INVESTIGATORS.
Stefano says BYE, HAMZA.
Antoine and Han Ru say BYE.
Hamza says SO, I STARTED BY ASKING WHAT
MAKES A CUBE DIFFERENT FROM A
SQUARE? WELL, LET'S PUT IT THIS
WAY: A CUBE IS JUST A SQUARE
THAT HAS ENTERED... THE THIRD
DIMENSION.
The studio is darker and Hamza wears a black hat.
Hamza says WHEN YOU TAKE A 2D
SQUARE, HAVING ONLY HEIGHT AND
WIDTH, AND MAKE IT 3D BY ADDING
DEPTH, YOU GET A CUBE. AND WHEN
YOU GET A CUBE 3D, YOU CAN
ROTATE IT AND SEE THAT IT HAS
6 FACES THAT ARE ALL SQUARES OF
THE SAME SIZE. IT HAS 8 VERTICES
AND 12 EDGES. THAT'S JUST WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN A SQUARE ENTERS THE
THIRD DIMENSION. SO CUBES MAY BE
A LITTLE FULL OF THEMSELVES,
WHAT WITH THEIR 3 DIMENSIONS AND
FANCY NAMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE
ANYTHING WITHOUT THE SQUARE.
GOOD THING SQUARES DON'T
HOLD GRUDGES. HMM.
The animated square and cube sing LA LAAAAA
(APPLAUSE)
They hold hands. The square shakes the cube and it turns into six squares. They bow to the audience and wink at each other.
Hamza says CUBES REALLY MAKE ME HAPPY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE LIKE ME
IS INSIDE THEM. HA! UNTIL NEXT
TIME, KEEP LOOKING COOL.
Hamza leaves the studio and another Hamza comes out of the large cube.
Hamza says SHH...
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Picasso says I SHOULD BUY MORE PAINT.
