Transcript: Origami
Hamza says BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES,
I'LL BE TURNING THIS ORDINARY
FLAT PIECE OF PAPER INTO
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY!
Hamza folds a yellow piece of paper into a hat and wears it.
He continues THAT'S RIGHT, TODAY'S ALL
ABOUT FUN WITH FOLDING.
YOU'LL FLIP OVER OUR FOLDING
FLYER COMPETITION. IT'S
A PAPER PLANE EXTRAVAGANZA.
YOU'LL MEET THIS BIKER DUDE'S
FABULOUS FOLDED FRIENDS.
Blaze says ORIGAMI KITTENS? WHOOO!
Hamza says AND WE'LL DISCOVER
THERE'S MORE FOLDING IN OUR
LIVES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED.
THAT'S ALL COMING UP
ON THIS EPISODE OF
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."
At the studio, Hamza says OH, HEY! I'M JUST
PACKING FOR A VACATION THAT
I'M TAKING TO THE BEACH.
I THINK THAT I'VE GOT EVERYTHING
I WANTED TO TAKE.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says AND NOW ALL I'VE GOT TO DO IS
FIT IT INTO THIS SUITCASE.
HEY, KOOL CAT... A LITTLE HELP?
(CRASH)
THAT IS NOT HELPING.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says IT WON'T FIT! MAYBE I SHOULD DO
WHAT MY MOM'S BEEN TELLING ME TO
DO FOR YEARS. FOLD MY CLOTHES!
AH! SOMETHING INCREDIBLE
HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOLD THINGS.
YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING THAT
SPREADS OVER A MUCH LARGER AREA
FIT INTO A MUCH SMALLER SPACE.
OH! I FORGOT MY ORIGAMI HAT.
HOLD ON...
I FOLDED THESE CLOTHES,
JUST LIKE I FOLDED THIS HAT.
IT'S LIKE I DID ORIGAMI,
BUT WITH CLOTHES!
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says KOOL CAT, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT ORIGAMI IS?
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says IT'S ONLY ONE OF THE COOLEST
THINGS IN THE WORLD.
CHECK THIS OUT.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT EACH
OF THESE WAS MADE BY FOLDING
A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER
WITHOUT ANY CUTTING OR GLUING?
SOME ORIGAMI FIGURES CAN TAKE
HUNDREDS OF FOLDS TO COMPLETE.
A series of origami animals appears.
Hamza says SO JUST BY FOLDING YOU CAN TAKE
A 2D PIECE OF PAPER AND TURN IT
INTO AN AMAZING 3D CREATURE.
OR, YOU CAN TAKE A HUGE PILE
OF CLOTHES AND MAKE THEM FIT
INTO THIS LITTLE SUITCASE. HM...
THAT SOUNDS MATHEMATIC.
I WONDER IF FOLDING CAN SOLVE
OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES
JUST PACKING A SUITCASE...
An animation shows a little girl walking.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA
OH! EW...
There is a puddle of water on her way. She folds a piece of paper and turns it into a plane so that she can fly over it.
Hamza says HAVE YOU EVER MADE A
PAPER FORTUNE TELLER LIKE THIS?
IF YOU HAVE, THEN YOU'VE DONE
ORIGAMI! HEY, KOOL CAT.
PICK A COLOUR.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says GREEN? G-R-E-E-N...
OKAY, NOW PICK A NUMBER
BETWEEN 3, 4, 7 AND 8.
4? ARE YOU SURE?
OKAY.
YOU WILL CLEAN HAMZA'S ROOM
FOR A WEEK!
HEY! NO. YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A
FORTUNE TELLER. I MEAN, THAT'S
WHAT IT SAYS IN THERE. HEY! HEY!
JUST KIDDING. DON'T GET ALL
BENT OUT OF SHAPE. HEY, SHAPE!
I JUST HAD A BRAINWAVE.
Kool Cat flies away.
Hamza says I WONDER IF WE CAN DISCOVER
THE MATH THAT'S HIDDEN
IN ORIGAMI BY UNFOLDING IT?
(music plays)
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT! OH!
ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
A hologram of the paper rises.
Hamza says HALF OF THE PATTERN IS A MIRROR
OF THE OTHER HALF. THAT'S CALLED
REFLECTION SYMMETRY, AND HERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE. SOME OF THOSE
FOLD LINES ARE RADIATING OUT
FROM THE CENTRE POINT.
THAT POINT MUST BE A VERTEX.
AND LOOK AT ALL THOSE TRIANGLES
AND SQUARES! SOME NICE GEOMETRIC
SHAPES. BOOYAH! THAT'S MATH.
I WONDER WHAT OTHER THINGS
FOLD AND UNFOLD. LET'S GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
INVESTIGATION.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Tiara and Alex stand in a shop. They appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Tiara and Alex say HI, HAMZA!
Hamza says TIARA AND ALEX, YOUR
MISSION IS TO FIND EXAMPLES
OF STUFF THAT'S FOLDED. GO!
Tiara says OH, LOOK!
AN ENVELOPE! IT'S FOLDED...
Tiara and Alex say JUST LIKE ORIGAMI.
The Computer says FOLDED OBJECT IDENTIFIED.
Tiara takes a picture of Alex holding the envelope.
Alex says HEY, LOOK! AN UMBRELLA.
SO IT'S LIKE A SWIRL
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FOLD IT
SO IT WILL FIT INSIDE THIS.
Tiara says THE BASEBALL GLOVE!
Alex says THE REASON IT'S FOLDED
IS BECAUSE, IF IT WAS FLAT,
THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO CATCH THE BALL.
Tiara says AND THEY WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO PUT THEIR HAND IN IT.
Alex says YEAH. AND IT'S FOLDED...
Tiara says TO CATCH THE BALL,
IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS.
Alex says SO, IF YOU FOLD IT,
YOU CAN EASILY DO THIS WHEN
YOU WANT TO CATCH THE BALL.
OPEN, CLOSE. OPEN, CLOSE.
The Computer says MANY THINGS FOLD,
LIKE YOUR HANDS, YOUR ARMS AND
EYELIDS. MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS
ARE FORMED WHEN THE EARTH'S
CRUST FOLDS. SOUND TRAVELS BY
COMPRESSING THE AIR INTO FOLDS.
EVEN DNA IS FOLDED UP SO IT
FITS
NEATLY INSIDE YOUR CELLS.
Alex says THIS IS VERY, VERY FOLDED.
IT'S FOLDING AND DE-FOLDING.
Tiara says I DON'T THINK DE-
FOLDING IS A REAL WORD, BUT...
Alex holds an accordion.
Alex says SEE? IT'S FOLDED.
HEY, LOOK! THERE'S
SOMETHING RIGHT THERE.
IT'S FOLDED.
Hamza says HEY, WHY DO YOU THINK
A WALLET FOLDS UP?
Tiara says TO TAKE LESS SPACE
AND TO HOLD YOUR MONEY INSIDE.
WITHOUT THE FOLDING PART,
ALL YOUR MONEY WOULD FLY OUT
AND IT WOULDN'T BE FUN.
Hamza says I'D BETTER KEEP
MY WALLET FOLDED.
Tiara and Alex say YEAH!
Hamza says YOU KNOW, THIS FOLDING STUFF
REALLY SOLVES A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
The animated girl appears. She takes down notes.
The girl says WOO-HOO!
Then, a robot appears. She presses a button and the robot folds so much that it turns into a little box she can put in her backpack.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA
Hamza says HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
FOLDING A PAPER AIRPLANE?
WELL TODAY I DECIDED TO WING IT
AND CREATE MY OWN PAPER AIRPLANE
DESIGN. TIME TO TEST IT OUT. GET
READY FOR A TRIPLE LOOP-DE-LOOP.
LOOKS LIKE WINGING IT DOESN'T
REALLY WORK. I GUESS YOU HAVE
TO FOLD IT IN VERY SPECIFIC WAYS
TO GET IT TO FLY RIGHT.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
A PERFECT TIME FOR A...
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in a court.
Hamza says CHALLENGE! ON MY RIGHT
I HAVE CASSANDRA AND LORENZO.
TEAM BLUE!
Cassandra and Lorenzo say TEAM BLUE!
Hamza says AND ON MY LEFT I HAVE
BILLY AND ELLA. TEAM YELLOW!
Billy and Ella say GO YELLOW!
Hamza says AS YOU CAN SEE, EACH
ONE OF THESE PLANES IS FOLDED
A DIFFERENT WAY. SINCE OUR FIRST
CHALLENGE WILL BE ABOUT WHO CAN
FLY THE FURTHEST, LET'S TAKE
A LOOK AT HOW EACH ONE OF THESE
DIFFERENTLY FOLDED PLANES FLIES.
WHOA!
THAT WAS LIKE A BARREL
ROLL PLANE. EXCELLENT!
CASSANDRA, YOU'RE NEXT.
OH, IT'S LIKE A HELICOPTER.
WHOA! I IMAGINE THAT'S
WHAT A UFO WOULD FLY LIKE.
Each of the kids flies their paper plane.
Hamza says I THINK WE FOUND OUR LONG-
DISTANCE FLYER. AM I RIGHT?
The kids say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, EXCELLENT.
NOW IS THE FUN PART. YOU GET
TO EACH BUILD YOUR OWN PLANE.
ALRIGHT, COME ON!
OKAY, BOTH TEAMS HAVE PAPER
AND FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS. SO NOW
THAT WE'VE FOUND WHICH MODEL
FLIES THE FURTHEST, MAKE A WHOLE
BUNCH OF THEM AND THEN PICK YOUR
FAVOURITE ONE FOR THE CHALLENGE.
THE COOL THING ABOUT PAPER
AIRPLANES IS THAT THERE'S
SO MANY LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS
YOU CAN MAKE.
LET'S SEE WHAT MY MIND'S
EYEGLASSES HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT PAPER AIRPLANES.
The Computer says OBSERVE THE WAY THE
WINGS BEND UPWARD. WHEN THE
TIPS ARE THE HIGHEST PART OF
THE WING, IT STABILIZES THE
PLANE, HELPING IT TO FLY
STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF ROLLING
OVER. THIS ANGLE IS CALLED THE
DIHEDRAL ANGLE. THESE FLAPS ARE
CALLED THE ELEVATOR FLAPS. BEND
THE FLAPS DOWN AND THE PLANE
WILL DIVE. BEND THEM UPWARD,
AND THE PLANE WILL CLIMB. BUT
BEND THEM UPWARD TOO MUCH, AND
THE PLANE WILL STALL. WATCH
OUT!
The computer screen shows what she explains.
Hamza says TIME FOR PART 1 OF OUR
CHALLENGE! THE TEAM WITH THE
FURTHEST FLIER GETS 25 POINTS.
TEAMS, TAKE YOUR POSITIONS.
GET SET... FLY!
OH, GOOD ONE.
FLY!
WHOA, EXCELLENT JOB!
BLUE TAKES THE LEAD!
ELLA, FLY!
OH, SO CLOSE!
Ella says IT HIT THE CONE.
Hamza says CASSANDRA, FLY!
OH, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY DID
A GREAT JOB FOLDING YOUR PLANES.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BLUE TEAM
TAKES THE LEAD BY WINNING
ROUND 1 WITH AN AMAZING FLIGHT.
BUT THERE ARE PLENTY MORE POINTS
TO WIN IN ROUND 2, SO STICK
AROUND FOR THE CONCLUSION
OF THE CRAZIEST PAPER
AIRPLANE CHALLENGE EVER!
At the studio, Hamza says FOLDING AND FLYING GO
HAND IN HAND. IN FACT...
Something rumbles outside.
Hamza says ANYWAY, ORIGAMI IS ALL ABOUT
FOLDING, AND FOLDING...
Hamza appears as Blaze. He walks into the studio wearing a black leather jacket and a headband.
Blaze says HEY, YOU!
Hamza says ME?
Blaze says YEAH, YOU.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,
TALKING ABOUT ORIGAMI?
Hamza says UH...
I'M HAMZA. WHO ARE YOU?
Blaze says BLAZE. BLAZE RIDER.
I LIVE FOR THE WIND IN MY FACE
AND THE GRAVEL UNDER MY TIRES.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CRANKS
MY GEARS MORE THAN THIS. ORIGAMI
KITTENS? HA! HA! I GET PUMPED
WHEN I SEE ORIGAMI KITTENS,
BROTHER. WHOO! HA! HA! HA!
OH LOOK AT... THEY'RE SO CUTE!
LOOK AT HOW CUTE IT IS! I EVEN
MADE THESE LITTLE PAPER BALLS
OF YARN FOR HIM TO PLAY WITH.
Hamza says UH, THAT'S...
Blaze says COME ON, LITTLE KITTY.
HERE YOU GO.
Hamza says... NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.
Blaze says YOU CAN'T MAKE ORIGAMI
KITTENS WITHOUT PAPER BALLS
OF YARN. THAT'S JUST CRUEL.
COOCHI-COO, LITTLE KITTY.
Hamza says SO, YOU SEEM TO KNOW
A LOT ABOUT ORIGAMI. DO YOU KNOW
WHERE IT BEGAN, MAYBE?
Blaze says DUH! IT STARTED
ABOUT 1,500 YEARS AGO IN JAPAN
WITH SOME BUDDHIST MONKS. THEY
STARTED FOLDING THESE GEOMETRIC
ZIGZAG PAPER DESIGNS FOR THEIR
CEREMONIES. THEN, BY THE 1800S
THERE WERE PAPER KITES, BOATS,
BIRDS... AND THEN IT HAPPENED.
Hamza says WHAT HAPPENED?
Blaze says THE FIRST ORIGAMI
PAPER KITTENS! LOOK HOW CUTE!
Hamza says YEAH. YEAH. VERY CUTE.
SO, HOW DID ORIGAMI SPREAD FROM
JAPAN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?
Blaze says THAT'S ALL THANKS TO
THIS ONE DUDE, AKIRA YOSHIZAWA.
HE'S BASICALLY THE FATHER OF
MODERN ORIGAMI. IN THE 1930S,
HE CAME UP WITH A WAY TO TEACH
ORIGAMI USING ONLY PICTURES
THAT PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD
COULD FOLLOW. OH, BUT THERE'S
THIS NEW GUY NAMED ROBERT LANG.
GET THIS... HE QUIT HIS JOB
AS A PHYSICIST TO DO... WAIT FOR
IT... ORIGAMI! PEOPLE THOUGHT
HE WAS CRAZY! BUT THIS GUY IS
A SCIENTIST, AND HE COULDN'T
HELP BUT SEE THE MATH AND
ENGINEERING IN PAPER FOLDING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. HE ACTUALLY
FIGURED OUT HOW TO PUT MATH
STUFF INTO A COMPUTER PROGRAM
TO DESIGN CREASE PATTERNS
FOR WHATEVER CREATURE
HE WANTED TO MAKE.
CHECK OUT THIS PATTERN
HE USED TO MAKE A FROG.
A clip shows origami animals such as a turtle, a dinosaur, a panda bear and a mouse.
Hamza says WOW! SO COOL!
AND SYMMETRICAL, TOO!
Blaze says YEAH. CUTE, TOO! AND
GET THIS... HE'S USING THE SAME
IDEAS TO TEST HOW SAFETY AIRBAGS
IN CARS UNFOLD DURING CAR
CRASHES. HE ALSO HELPED THESE
ENGINEER DUDES DESIGN A GIANT
LENS FOR A TELESCOPE THAT WOULD
FOLD INTO A ROCKET, AND THEN,
WHEN IT WENT INTO OUTER SPACE,
IT WOULD UNFOLD INTO THE SIZE
OF A FOOTBALL FIELD!
Hamza says THAT'S AMAZING!
SO THE MATH OF ORIGAMI HELPS
INVENT PRACTICAL, USEFUL STUFF.
Blaze says ARE YOU SAYING THAT
PAPER KITTENS AREN'T PRACTICAL?
Hamza says UH, NO...
Blaze says BECAUSE THEY ARE!
LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS!
Hamza says I WOULD NEVER ARGUE
WITH A MAN OF YOUR SIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BLAZE.
Blaze says THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WANT A LITTLE SNACK?
COOCHIE-COOCHIE-COO!
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Hamza says BRAIN BENDER.
THE OBJECT OF TODAY'S BRAIN
BENDER IS TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE
CAN BUILD A PAPER BRIDGE THAT
CAN HOLD A BUNCH OF COINS. THE
TRICK IS, THE BRIDGE CAN ONLY BE
BUILT USING ONE PIECE OF PAPER.
TODAY'S BRAIN BENDER VOLUNTEERS
ARE EVAN AND ALYSSA. HI GUYS!
Evan and Alyssa appear on the large screen.
Evan and Alyssa say HI HAMZA!
Hamza says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO MAKE THAT PAPER STRONG
ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL THESE COINS?
Alyssa says BY FOLDING?
Hamza says WELL, TRY IT OUT!
Alyssa says ONE PAPER.
MAYBE CORNER TO CORNER,
LIKE THAT.
Hamza says THEIR BRIDGE NEEDS TO
HOLD 80 PENNIES. PRETTY HEAVY
FOR ONE PIECE OF PAPER.
Alyssa says I CAN'T FOLD IT
THIS WAY, BECAUSE IT'S NOT
LONG ENOUGH. SO YOU HAVE
TO FOLD IT THIS WAY,
LIKE THAT. OKAY, NOW LET GO.
Evan says A LOT?
Alyssa says DIDN'T WORK.
PAPER IS REALLY LIGHT!
Evan says MAYBE IF WE DO IT
VERY, VERY SLIMLY.
DO IT A LOT OF TIMES SO
THAT IT CAN HOLD MORE WEIGHT.
Alyssa says WE'LL DO ONE
AT A TIME, THIS TIME.
Evan says YEAH. MAYBE IF ONE
OF US COULD HOLD IT AND...
Alyssa says ... WHEN WE FIRST
PUT THEM ON, AND THEN...
Evan says HOPEFULLY THIS CAN WORK.
Hamza says LET'S SEE IF IT HOLDS...
Evan says IT'S GOING DOWN, STILL...
Alyssa says WELL...
Hamza says OH, NO!
Evan says WELL, SEE BUT...
I THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
Alyssa says OH, LIKE THIS...
Hamza says I THINK THEY'RE ON THE
RIGHT TRACK WITH THIS "V" FOLD.
Alyssa says THERE WE GO.
JUST HOPE THEY DON'T FALL!
IT SHOULD BE EASIER IN BETWEEN.
Evan says OKAY, NOW.
LET'S JUST TRY TO...
The paper bridge keeps falling down.
Alyssa says OH, LIKE THIS!
OKAY, JUST PUT THAT...
JUST, LIKE, FOLD THIS AGAIN.
JUST LIKE A FAN.
Evan says OH, MULTIPLES "V"S.
I GET IT!
Alyssa says YEAH.
AND THEN WHEN YOU PUT ONE...
AND THEN ONE THERE...
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says ONE HERE.
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says ONE HERE.
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says HOW MUCH MORE DO WE HAVE?
Evan says NOT THAT MUCH,
ALYSSA. NOT THAT MUCH.
Alyssa says GOOD. THIS IS THE LAST
PENNY, THEN WE'VE USED THEM ALL.
Evan says DON'T MAKE IT FALL!
Alyssa says IT'S COMING.
WE DID IT!
Hamza says GREAT JOB, PUZZLERS!
Alyssa and Evan says YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, THANKS!
SEE YOU LATER!
Evan and Alyssa say BYE!
Hamza says CHALLENGE! IT'S TIME FOR ROUND 2
OF OUR EPIC AIR BATTLE.
THE OBJECT IS TO FLY THE PILE OF
PLANES YOU'VE MADE. THE FURTHER,
THE BETTER. AND THERE'S A
SPECIAL BONUS FOR ACCURACY.
GET SET, THROW!
EACH PLANE THAT LANDS BETWEEN
THE YELLOW AND BLUE LINES SCORES
1 POINT. EACH PLANE PASSING
THE BLUE LINE GETS 3 POINTS.
A PLANE IN THE WHITE AREA IS
WORTH 5 POINTS. AND HERE'S WHERE
ACCURACY COMES IN... A PLANE
INSIDE THE RED SQUARE IS WORTH
10 POINTS. OH, JUST MISSED IT!
ALRIGHT! GO TEAMS! GO TEAMS!
SO FAR, IT'S BLUE WITH
A SLIGHT LEAD AT 24 TO 23.
THERE'S A 5-POINTER FOR YELLOW,
GIVING THEM THE LEAD AT 28. NICE
TRY FOR BLUE, BUT THAT ONE'S OFF
THE COURSE. SORRY, NO POINTS!
YELLOW MOVES AHEAD WITH A 5, AND
BLUE WITH A 5 OF THEIR OWN TO
REGAIN THE LEAD. THIS IS CLOSE!
ALRIGHT! GO TEAM, GO TEAM!
A yellow number reads "54" and a blue number reads "55."
Hamza says LOOKING GOOD FOR A 10. OH,
BUT IT'S OFF COURSE! NO POINTS.
OH, THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS TOO!
OH, THAT WAS SO CLOSE TO 10!
A kid says FINAL SHOT!
Hamza says FINAL SHOT!
AND THE LAST 2 PLANES...
AND YELLOW GETS 5 POINTS
WITH THEIR VERY LAST PLANE!
TEAM YELLOW, YOU WON THE
2ND ROUND WITH 103 POINTS.
The Yellow Team says YEAH!
Hamza says TEAM BLUE, IN THE
SECOND ROUND YOU SCORED 101.
VERY CLOSE. BUT IN THE FIRST
ROUND, YOU HAD 25 POINTS. AND
WHEN WE ADD THAT TO THE TOTAL,
TEAM BLUE WINS THE CHALLENGE
WITH 126 POINTS!
The Blue Team says YEAH!
Hamza says WELL, THAT DOES IT FOR
OUR
LOOK KOOL
FLIGHT CHALLENGE.
NOW, PILOTS... LET'S FLY!
Against a colourful animated background, Hamza dances and sings.
He sings ORIGAMI STYLE, ORIGAMI STYLE
WHEN YOU FOLD PAPER
YOU CAN MAKE CRANES
OR GORILLAS
A LITTLE FROG, A BEAR
AN AIRPLANE OR CHINCHILLA
YOU CAN FOLD A CHAIR
FOLD YOUR ARMS OR AN UMBRELLA
PLAY AN ACCORDION RIPPLE,
FOLD A TACO
EAT YOUR FILL-A
ORIGAMI, IT'S NOT MAGIC
IT'S MATHEMATICS
ORIGAMI GIVES ME IDEAS
FOR FOLDING EVERYTHING
AROUND ME UNTIL I'M SORE
IT MAKES ME WANT TO KEEP
ON FOLDING MORE, MORE, MORE
ORIGAMI STYLE
OH, OH, OH, OH
ORIGAMI STYLE
OH, OH, OH, OH
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says HANDS-ON! ANGELA IS
A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER AND MATH
EXPERT WHO LOVES TO BUILD
GEOMETRIC ORIGAMI SHAPES IN
A STYLE CALLED MODULAR ORIGAMI.
Tiara and Alex stand next to Angela in a room.
Angela says MODULAR ORIGAMI
IS DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL
ORIGAMI. SO THIS IS A CRANE, AND
A CRANE IS A VERY TRADITIONAL
ORIGAMI SHAPE. IT'S MADE OUT
OF ONE SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, THE DIFFERENCE WITH MODULAR
ORIGAMI, AND THE REASON I LOVE
IT SO MUCH, IS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE
A GEOMETRIC PUZZLE. WE CREATE
THESE COMPLEX SHAPES BY FOLDING
MULTIPLE PIECES OF PAPER OF
DIFFERENT PATTERNS AND DIFFERENT
COLOURS, AND PUT THEM TOGETHER
TO MAKE THESE LARGER FORMS.
SO FIRST THING, YOU'LL HAVE
TO SELECT ONE PIECE OF PAPER...
Alex says THIS ONE!
Angela says ... AND WE'LL START
BY FOLDING IT IN HALF.
Alex says HM-HM.
Angela says FLIP IT OVER, AND THEN YOU'RE
GOING TO FOLD IT AT AN ANGLE.
AND THEN FOLD THE LITTLE
TRIANGLE THAT'S STICKING OUT
BACK OVER AS WELL. OKAY.
SO NOW WE WANT TO FOLD THE OTHER
EDGE OVER, JUST AS WE DID
THE FIRST ONE.
Tiara says GOT IT.
Angela says YES. WE ALL HAVE
THE SAME SHAPE?
Tiara says YEAH.
Angela says OKAY. ONE MORE STEP.
YOU'RE GOING TO FOLD
THIS TRIANGLE OVER.
AND THEN WHAT DO WE HAVE?
Alex says A SQUARE.
Angela says A SQUARE.
Tiara says A SQUARE.
Angela says SO NOW THAT WE HAVE
OUR SQUARE, TAKE ANOTHER
PIECE OF PAPER AND FOLD
THE SAME SHAPE AGAIN.
SO NOW THAT WE'VE FINISHED OUR
SECOND SHAPE, WE CAN PUT ALL OF
THESE PIECES TOGETHER. WHAT WE
DO IS WE SLIDE IN THESE POINTS
INTO THESE LITTLE POCKETS.
THERE'S ONE.
Tiara says THERE'S 2.
Angela says THERE'S 2. WE'RE
STARTING TO HAVE A SHAPE.
Alex and Tiara says A CUBE!
Angela says SO IT'S ALWAYS
ABOUT FINDING THE POCKETS,
AND SLIDING THE SHAPE IN.
VOILA! A CUBE.
Alex says WHOA! IT'S SO COOL.
Hamza says HEY GUYS?
HOW COME YOUR MODULAR ORIGAMI
BOXES LOOK SO MUCH BETTER
THAN MINE?
Tiara says BECAUSE I THINK
WE HAVE THE HANDS-ON EXPERT.
Hamza says RIGHT. WELL,
MODULAR ORIGAMI IS DEFINITELY
SUPER COOL! EVEN IF I NEVER
FIGURE THIS OUT... BYE, GUYS!
The three of them say BYE, HAMZA!
Hamza says IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU
CAN DO WITH FOLDING! IN FACT,
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE...
(TIRES SQUEAL.)
(SOMETHING CRASHES OUTSIDE.)
Blaze says OH...
Hamza says BLAZE?
Blaze says I'M FINE,
THANKS TO THIS BAD BOY.
Blaze knocks on a helmet.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY?
Blaze says NO PROBLEMO,
HAMZA.
AND EVEN IF I WAS BANGED UP,
ORIGAMI CAN MAKE ME BETTER.
MAY I?
Hamza says TAKE IT AWAY, BLAZE.
Blaze says CHECK THIS OUT. SOME
DOCTORS AND ORIGAMI EXPERTS
ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE
TEENY-TINY ORIGAMI ROBOTS.
THESE SCIENTIST DUDES HOPE
TO MAKE ROBOTS FOLD DOWN
SO SMALL THEY'LL TRAVEL IN
YOUR BLOODSTREAM AND FIX YOU UP.
Hamza says TINY FOLDING ROBOTS
THAT FIX OUR INSIDES? WOW!
Blaze says YEAH!
The animated girl appears.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
The girl walks happily but then she falls. She screams and two little boxes fall on her injured knee. They turn into nurse robots that cure her.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
Blaze says I LOVE THOSE TINY
LITTLE ROBOTS. I JUST HOPE
THAT ONE DAY THEY CAN MAKE THOSE
ROBOTS LOOK LIKE LITTLE KITTENS.
IT WOULD BE SO CUTE.
Hamza says OH, YEAH. YEAH,
THAT WOULD BE, UH...
Blaze says IT WOULD BE SO CUTE!
ALRIGHT, BROTHER. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
Hamza says THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
(BLAZE CRIES.)
Blaze says I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.
Hamza says BYE.
SO THERE YOU GO.
ORIGAMI ISN'T JUST A BEAUTIFUL
FORM OF ART. THERE'S MATH HIDDEN
IN THESE FOLDS. IT HELPED SOLVE
SOME BIG PROBLEMS IN SPACE
EXPLORATION, IN CAR ENGINEERING
AND EVEN IN MEDICINE WITH
SUPER TINY ORIGAMI ROBOTS.
FOLDING EVEN HELPS SOMETHING
LARGE COLLAPSE DOWN INTO A
VERY SMALL SPACE, WHICH IS WHY
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED
FOR MY TRIP TO THE BEACH.
ALL I NEED IS MY BUS TICKET.
OH NO! IS IT IN HERE?
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza takes several large objects out of his suitcase, such as a cone, a cube, a soccer ball, an umbrella and a cushion.
Kool Cat shows him the ticket.
Hamza says WHAT? THERE IT IS!
OH, MAN!
WELL, BETTER GET FOLDING.
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.

I'LL BE TURNING THIS ORDINARY
FLAT PIECE OF PAPER INTO
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY!
Hamza folds a yellow piece of paper into a hat and wears it.
He continues THAT'S RIGHT, TODAY'S ALL
ABOUT FUN WITH FOLDING.
YOU'LL FLIP OVER OUR FOLDING
FLYER COMPETITION. IT'S
A PAPER PLANE EXTRAVAGANZA.
YOU'LL MEET THIS BIKER DUDE'S
FABULOUS FOLDED FRIENDS.
Blaze says ORIGAMI KITTENS? WHOOO!
Hamza says AND WE'LL DISCOVER
THERE'S MORE FOLDING IN OUR
LIVES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED.
THAT'S ALL COMING UP
ON THIS EPISODE OF
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."
At the studio, Hamza says OH, HEY! I'M JUST
PACKING FOR A VACATION THAT
I'M TAKING TO THE BEACH.
I THINK THAT I'VE GOT EVERYTHING
I WANTED TO TAKE.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says AND NOW ALL I'VE GOT TO DO IS
FIT IT INTO THIS SUITCASE.
HEY, KOOL CAT... A LITTLE HELP?
(CRASH)
THAT IS NOT HELPING.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says IT WON'T FIT! MAYBE I SHOULD DO
WHAT MY MOM'S BEEN TELLING ME TO
DO FOR YEARS. FOLD MY CLOTHES!
AH! SOMETHING INCREDIBLE
HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOLD THINGS.
YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING THAT
SPREADS OVER A MUCH LARGER AREA
FIT INTO A MUCH SMALLER SPACE.
OH! I FORGOT MY ORIGAMI HAT.
HOLD ON...
I FOLDED THESE CLOTHES,
JUST LIKE I FOLDED THIS HAT.
IT'S LIKE I DID ORIGAMI,
BUT WITH CLOTHES!
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says KOOL CAT, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT ORIGAMI IS?
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says IT'S ONLY ONE OF THE COOLEST
THINGS IN THE WORLD.
CHECK THIS OUT.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT EACH
OF THESE WAS MADE BY FOLDING
A SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER
WITHOUT ANY CUTTING OR GLUING?
SOME ORIGAMI FIGURES CAN TAKE
HUNDREDS OF FOLDS TO COMPLETE.
A series of origami animals appears.
Hamza says SO JUST BY FOLDING YOU CAN TAKE
A 2D PIECE OF PAPER AND TURN IT
INTO AN AMAZING 3D CREATURE.
OR, YOU CAN TAKE A HUGE PILE
OF CLOTHES AND MAKE THEM FIT
INTO THIS LITTLE SUITCASE. HM...
THAT SOUNDS MATHEMATIC.
I WONDER IF FOLDING CAN SOLVE
OTHER PROBLEMS BESIDES
JUST PACKING A SUITCASE...
An animation shows a little girl walking.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA
OH! EW...
There is a puddle of water on her way. She folds a piece of paper and turns it into a plane so that she can fly over it.
Hamza says HAVE YOU EVER MADE A
PAPER FORTUNE TELLER LIKE THIS?
IF YOU HAVE, THEN YOU'VE DONE
ORIGAMI! HEY, KOOL CAT.
PICK A COLOUR.
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza says GREEN? G-R-E-E-N...
OKAY, NOW PICK A NUMBER
BETWEEN 3, 4, 7 AND 8.
4? ARE YOU SURE?
OKAY.
YOU WILL CLEAN HAMZA'S ROOM
FOR A WEEK!
HEY! NO. YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A
FORTUNE TELLER. I MEAN, THAT'S
WHAT IT SAYS IN THERE. HEY! HEY!
JUST KIDDING. DON'T GET ALL
BENT OUT OF SHAPE. HEY, SHAPE!
I JUST HAD A BRAINWAVE.
Kool Cat flies away.
Hamza says I WONDER IF WE CAN DISCOVER
THE MATH THAT'S HIDDEN
IN ORIGAMI BY UNFOLDING IT?
(music plays)
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT! OH!
ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
A hologram of the paper rises.
Hamza says HALF OF THE PATTERN IS A MIRROR
OF THE OTHER HALF. THAT'S CALLED
REFLECTION SYMMETRY, AND HERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE. SOME OF THOSE
FOLD LINES ARE RADIATING OUT
FROM THE CENTRE POINT.
THAT POINT MUST BE A VERTEX.
AND LOOK AT ALL THOSE TRIANGLES
AND SQUARES! SOME NICE GEOMETRIC
SHAPES. BOOYAH! THAT'S MATH.
I WONDER WHAT OTHER THINGS
FOLD AND UNFOLD. LET'S GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
INVESTIGATION.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Tiara and Alex stand in a shop. They appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Tiara and Alex say HI, HAMZA!
Hamza says TIARA AND ALEX, YOUR
MISSION IS TO FIND EXAMPLES
OF STUFF THAT'S FOLDED. GO!
Tiara says OH, LOOK!
AN ENVELOPE! IT'S FOLDED...
Tiara and Alex say JUST LIKE ORIGAMI.
The Computer says FOLDED OBJECT IDENTIFIED.
Tiara takes a picture of Alex holding the envelope.
Alex says HEY, LOOK! AN UMBRELLA.
SO IT'S LIKE A SWIRL
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FOLD IT
SO IT WILL FIT INSIDE THIS.
Tiara says THE BASEBALL GLOVE!
Alex says THE REASON IT'S FOLDED
IS BECAUSE, IF IT WAS FLAT,
THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO CATCH THE BALL.
Tiara says AND THEY WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO PUT THEIR HAND IN IT.
Alex says YEAH. AND IT'S FOLDED...
Tiara says TO CATCH THE BALL,
IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS.
Alex says SO, IF YOU FOLD IT,
YOU CAN EASILY DO THIS WHEN
YOU WANT TO CATCH THE BALL.
OPEN, CLOSE. OPEN, CLOSE.
The Computer says MANY THINGS FOLD,
LIKE YOUR HANDS, YOUR ARMS AND
EYELIDS. MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS
ARE FORMED WHEN THE EARTH'S
CRUST FOLDS. SOUND TRAVELS BY
COMPRESSING THE AIR INTO FOLDS.
EVEN DNA IS FOLDED UP SO IT
FITS
NEATLY INSIDE YOUR CELLS.
Alex says THIS IS VERY, VERY FOLDED.
IT'S FOLDING AND DE-FOLDING.
Tiara says I DON'T THINK DE-
FOLDING IS A REAL WORD, BUT...
Alex holds an accordion.
Alex says SEE? IT'S FOLDED.
HEY, LOOK! THERE'S
SOMETHING RIGHT THERE.
IT'S FOLDED.
Hamza says HEY, WHY DO YOU THINK
A WALLET FOLDS UP?
Tiara says TO TAKE LESS SPACE
AND TO HOLD YOUR MONEY INSIDE.
WITHOUT THE FOLDING PART,
ALL YOUR MONEY WOULD FLY OUT
AND IT WOULDN'T BE FUN.
Hamza says I'D BETTER KEEP
MY WALLET FOLDED.
Tiara and Alex say YEAH!
Hamza says YOU KNOW, THIS FOLDING STUFF
REALLY SOLVES A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
The animated girl appears. She takes down notes.
The girl says WOO-HOO!
Then, a robot appears. She presses a button and the robot folds so much that it turns into a little box she can put in her backpack.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA
Hamza says HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
FOLDING A PAPER AIRPLANE?
WELL TODAY I DECIDED TO WING IT
AND CREATE MY OWN PAPER AIRPLANE
DESIGN. TIME TO TEST IT OUT. GET
READY FOR A TRIPLE LOOP-DE-LOOP.
LOOKS LIKE WINGING IT DOESN'T
REALLY WORK. I GUESS YOU HAVE
TO FOLD IT IN VERY SPECIFIC WAYS
TO GET IT TO FLY RIGHT.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
A PERFECT TIME FOR A...
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in a court.
Hamza says CHALLENGE! ON MY RIGHT
I HAVE CASSANDRA AND LORENZO.
TEAM BLUE!
Cassandra and Lorenzo say TEAM BLUE!
Hamza says AND ON MY LEFT I HAVE
BILLY AND ELLA. TEAM YELLOW!
Billy and Ella say GO YELLOW!
Hamza says AS YOU CAN SEE, EACH
ONE OF THESE PLANES IS FOLDED
A DIFFERENT WAY. SINCE OUR FIRST
CHALLENGE WILL BE ABOUT WHO CAN
FLY THE FURTHEST, LET'S TAKE
A LOOK AT HOW EACH ONE OF THESE
DIFFERENTLY FOLDED PLANES FLIES.
WHOA!
THAT WAS LIKE A BARREL
ROLL PLANE. EXCELLENT!
CASSANDRA, YOU'RE NEXT.
OH, IT'S LIKE A HELICOPTER.
WHOA! I IMAGINE THAT'S
WHAT A UFO WOULD FLY LIKE.
Each of the kids flies their paper plane.
Hamza says I THINK WE FOUND OUR LONG-
DISTANCE FLYER. AM I RIGHT?
The kids say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, EXCELLENT.
NOW IS THE FUN PART. YOU GET
TO EACH BUILD YOUR OWN PLANE.
ALRIGHT, COME ON!
OKAY, BOTH TEAMS HAVE PAPER
AND FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS. SO NOW
THAT WE'VE FOUND WHICH MODEL
FLIES THE FURTHEST, MAKE A WHOLE
BUNCH OF THEM AND THEN PICK YOUR
FAVOURITE ONE FOR THE CHALLENGE.
THE COOL THING ABOUT PAPER
AIRPLANES IS THAT THERE'S
SO MANY LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS
YOU CAN MAKE.
LET'S SEE WHAT MY MIND'S
EYEGLASSES HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT PAPER AIRPLANES.
The Computer says OBSERVE THE WAY THE
WINGS BEND UPWARD. WHEN THE
TIPS ARE THE HIGHEST PART OF
THE WING, IT STABILIZES THE
PLANE, HELPING IT TO FLY
STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF ROLLING
OVER. THIS ANGLE IS CALLED THE
DIHEDRAL ANGLE. THESE FLAPS ARE
CALLED THE ELEVATOR FLAPS. BEND
THE FLAPS DOWN AND THE PLANE
WILL DIVE. BEND THEM UPWARD,
AND THE PLANE WILL CLIMB. BUT
BEND THEM UPWARD TOO MUCH, AND
THE PLANE WILL STALL. WATCH
OUT!
The computer screen shows what she explains.
Hamza says TIME FOR PART 1 OF OUR
CHALLENGE! THE TEAM WITH THE
FURTHEST FLIER GETS 25 POINTS.
TEAMS, TAKE YOUR POSITIONS.
GET SET... FLY!
OH, GOOD ONE.
FLY!
WHOA, EXCELLENT JOB!
BLUE TAKES THE LEAD!
ELLA, FLY!
OH, SO CLOSE!
Ella says IT HIT THE CONE.
Hamza says CASSANDRA, FLY!
OH, IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY DID
A GREAT JOB FOLDING YOUR PLANES.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BLUE TEAM
TAKES THE LEAD BY WINNING
ROUND 1 WITH AN AMAZING FLIGHT.
BUT THERE ARE PLENTY MORE POINTS
TO WIN IN ROUND 2, SO STICK
AROUND FOR THE CONCLUSION
OF THE CRAZIEST PAPER
AIRPLANE CHALLENGE EVER!
At the studio, Hamza says FOLDING AND FLYING GO
HAND IN HAND. IN FACT...
Something rumbles outside.
Hamza says ANYWAY, ORIGAMI IS ALL ABOUT
FOLDING, AND FOLDING...
Hamza appears as Blaze. He walks into the studio wearing a black leather jacket and a headband.
Blaze says HEY, YOU!
Hamza says ME?
Blaze says YEAH, YOU.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,
TALKING ABOUT ORIGAMI?
Hamza says UH...
I'M HAMZA. WHO ARE YOU?
Blaze says BLAZE. BLAZE RIDER.
I LIVE FOR THE WIND IN MY FACE
AND THE GRAVEL UNDER MY TIRES.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT CRANKS
MY GEARS MORE THAN THIS. ORIGAMI
KITTENS? HA! HA! I GET PUMPED
WHEN I SEE ORIGAMI KITTENS,
BROTHER. WHOO! HA! HA! HA!
OH LOOK AT... THEY'RE SO CUTE!
LOOK AT HOW CUTE IT IS! I EVEN
MADE THESE LITTLE PAPER BALLS
OF YARN FOR HIM TO PLAY WITH.
Hamza says UH, THAT'S...
Blaze says COME ON, LITTLE KITTY.
HERE YOU GO.
Hamza says... NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.
Blaze says YOU CAN'T MAKE ORIGAMI
KITTENS WITHOUT PAPER BALLS
OF YARN. THAT'S JUST CRUEL.
COOCHI-COO, LITTLE KITTY.
Hamza says SO, YOU SEEM TO KNOW
A LOT ABOUT ORIGAMI. DO YOU KNOW
WHERE IT BEGAN, MAYBE?
Blaze says DUH! IT STARTED
ABOUT 1,500 YEARS AGO IN JAPAN
WITH SOME BUDDHIST MONKS. THEY
STARTED FOLDING THESE GEOMETRIC
ZIGZAG PAPER DESIGNS FOR THEIR
CEREMONIES. THEN, BY THE 1800S
THERE WERE PAPER KITES, BOATS,
BIRDS... AND THEN IT HAPPENED.
Hamza says WHAT HAPPENED?
Blaze says THE FIRST ORIGAMI
PAPER KITTENS! LOOK HOW CUTE!
Hamza says YEAH. YEAH. VERY CUTE.
SO, HOW DID ORIGAMI SPREAD FROM
JAPAN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?
Blaze says THAT'S ALL THANKS TO
THIS ONE DUDE, AKIRA YOSHIZAWA.
HE'S BASICALLY THE FATHER OF
MODERN ORIGAMI. IN THE 1930S,
HE CAME UP WITH A WAY TO TEACH
ORIGAMI USING ONLY PICTURES
THAT PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD
COULD FOLLOW. OH, BUT THERE'S
THIS NEW GUY NAMED ROBERT LANG.
GET THIS... HE QUIT HIS JOB
AS A PHYSICIST TO DO... WAIT FOR
IT... ORIGAMI! PEOPLE THOUGHT
HE WAS CRAZY! BUT THIS GUY IS
A SCIENTIST, AND HE COULDN'T
HELP BUT SEE THE MATH AND
ENGINEERING IN PAPER FOLDING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. HE ACTUALLY
FIGURED OUT HOW TO PUT MATH
STUFF INTO A COMPUTER PROGRAM
TO DESIGN CREASE PATTERNS
FOR WHATEVER CREATURE
HE WANTED TO MAKE.
CHECK OUT THIS PATTERN
HE USED TO MAKE A FROG.
A clip shows origami animals such as a turtle, a dinosaur, a panda bear and a mouse.
Hamza says WOW! SO COOL!
AND SYMMETRICAL, TOO!
Blaze says YEAH. CUTE, TOO! AND
GET THIS... HE'S USING THE SAME
IDEAS TO TEST HOW SAFETY AIRBAGS
IN CARS UNFOLD DURING CAR
CRASHES. HE ALSO HELPED THESE
ENGINEER DUDES DESIGN A GIANT
LENS FOR A TELESCOPE THAT WOULD
FOLD INTO A ROCKET, AND THEN,
WHEN IT WENT INTO OUTER SPACE,
IT WOULD UNFOLD INTO THE SIZE
OF A FOOTBALL FIELD!
Hamza says THAT'S AMAZING!
SO THE MATH OF ORIGAMI HELPS
INVENT PRACTICAL, USEFUL STUFF.
Blaze says ARE YOU SAYING THAT
PAPER KITTENS AREN'T PRACTICAL?
Hamza says UH, NO...
Blaze says BECAUSE THEY ARE!
LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS!
Hamza says I WOULD NEVER ARGUE
WITH A MAN OF YOUR SIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BLAZE.
Blaze says THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WANT A LITTLE SNACK?
COOCHIE-COOCHIE-COO!
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Hamza says BRAIN BENDER.
THE OBJECT OF TODAY'S BRAIN
BENDER IS TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE
CAN BUILD A PAPER BRIDGE THAT
CAN HOLD A BUNCH OF COINS. THE
TRICK IS, THE BRIDGE CAN ONLY BE
BUILT USING ONE PIECE OF PAPER.
TODAY'S BRAIN BENDER VOLUNTEERS
ARE EVAN AND ALYSSA. HI GUYS!
Evan and Alyssa appear on the large screen.
Evan and Alyssa say HI HAMZA!
Hamza says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO MAKE THAT PAPER STRONG
ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL THESE COINS?
Alyssa says BY FOLDING?
Hamza says WELL, TRY IT OUT!
Alyssa says ONE PAPER.
MAYBE CORNER TO CORNER,
LIKE THAT.
Hamza says THEIR BRIDGE NEEDS TO
HOLD 80 PENNIES. PRETTY HEAVY
FOR ONE PIECE OF PAPER.
Alyssa says I CAN'T FOLD IT
THIS WAY, BECAUSE IT'S NOT
LONG ENOUGH. SO YOU HAVE
TO FOLD IT THIS WAY,
LIKE THAT. OKAY, NOW LET GO.
Evan says A LOT?
Alyssa says DIDN'T WORK.
PAPER IS REALLY LIGHT!
Evan says MAYBE IF WE DO IT
VERY, VERY SLIMLY.
DO IT A LOT OF TIMES SO
THAT IT CAN HOLD MORE WEIGHT.
Alyssa says WE'LL DO ONE
AT A TIME, THIS TIME.
Evan says YEAH. MAYBE IF ONE
OF US COULD HOLD IT AND...
Alyssa says ... WHEN WE FIRST
PUT THEM ON, AND THEN...
Evan says HOPEFULLY THIS CAN WORK.
Hamza says LET'S SEE IF IT HOLDS...
Evan says IT'S GOING DOWN, STILL...
Alyssa says WELL...
Hamza says OH, NO!
Evan says WELL, SEE BUT...
I THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
Alyssa says OH, LIKE THIS...
Hamza says I THINK THEY'RE ON THE
RIGHT TRACK WITH THIS "V" FOLD.
Alyssa says THERE WE GO.
JUST HOPE THEY DON'T FALL!
IT SHOULD BE EASIER IN BETWEEN.
Evan says OKAY, NOW.
LET'S JUST TRY TO...
The paper bridge keeps falling down.
Alyssa says OH, LIKE THIS!
OKAY, JUST PUT THAT...
JUST, LIKE, FOLD THIS AGAIN.
JUST LIKE A FAN.
Evan says OH, MULTIPLES "V"S.
I GET IT!
Alyssa says YEAH.
AND THEN WHEN YOU PUT ONE...
AND THEN ONE THERE...
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says ONE HERE.
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says ONE HERE.
Evan says ONE THERE.
Alyssa says HOW MUCH MORE DO WE HAVE?
Evan says NOT THAT MUCH,
ALYSSA. NOT THAT MUCH.
Alyssa says GOOD. THIS IS THE LAST
PENNY, THEN WE'VE USED THEM ALL.
Evan says DON'T MAKE IT FALL!
Alyssa says IT'S COMING.
WE DID IT!
Hamza says GREAT JOB, PUZZLERS!
Alyssa and Evan says YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, THANKS!
SEE YOU LATER!
Evan and Alyssa say BYE!
Hamza says CHALLENGE! IT'S TIME FOR ROUND 2
OF OUR EPIC AIR BATTLE.
THE OBJECT IS TO FLY THE PILE OF
PLANES YOU'VE MADE. THE FURTHER,
THE BETTER. AND THERE'S A
SPECIAL BONUS FOR ACCURACY.
GET SET, THROW!
EACH PLANE THAT LANDS BETWEEN
THE YELLOW AND BLUE LINES SCORES
1 POINT. EACH PLANE PASSING
THE BLUE LINE GETS 3 POINTS.
A PLANE IN THE WHITE AREA IS
WORTH 5 POINTS. AND HERE'S WHERE
ACCURACY COMES IN... A PLANE
INSIDE THE RED SQUARE IS WORTH
10 POINTS. OH, JUST MISSED IT!
ALRIGHT! GO TEAMS! GO TEAMS!
SO FAR, IT'S BLUE WITH
A SLIGHT LEAD AT 24 TO 23.
THERE'S A 5-POINTER FOR YELLOW,
GIVING THEM THE LEAD AT 28. NICE
TRY FOR BLUE, BUT THAT ONE'S OFF
THE COURSE. SORRY, NO POINTS!
YELLOW MOVES AHEAD WITH A 5, AND
BLUE WITH A 5 OF THEIR OWN TO
REGAIN THE LEAD. THIS IS CLOSE!
ALRIGHT! GO TEAM, GO TEAM!
A yellow number reads "54" and a blue number reads "55."
Hamza says LOOKING GOOD FOR A 10. OH,
BUT IT'S OFF COURSE! NO POINTS.
OH, THAT WAS OUT OF BOUNDS TOO!
OH, THAT WAS SO CLOSE TO 10!
A kid says FINAL SHOT!
Hamza says FINAL SHOT!
AND THE LAST 2 PLANES...
AND YELLOW GETS 5 POINTS
WITH THEIR VERY LAST PLANE!
TEAM YELLOW, YOU WON THE
2ND ROUND WITH 103 POINTS.
The Yellow Team says YEAH!
Hamza says TEAM BLUE, IN THE
SECOND ROUND YOU SCORED 101.
VERY CLOSE. BUT IN THE FIRST
ROUND, YOU HAD 25 POINTS. AND
WHEN WE ADD THAT TO THE TOTAL,
TEAM BLUE WINS THE CHALLENGE
WITH 126 POINTS!
The Blue Team says YEAH!
Hamza says WELL, THAT DOES IT FOR
OUR
LOOK KOOL
FLIGHT CHALLENGE.
NOW, PILOTS... LET'S FLY!
Against a colourful animated background, Hamza dances and sings.
He sings ORIGAMI STYLE, ORIGAMI STYLE
WHEN YOU FOLD PAPER
YOU CAN MAKE CRANES
OR GORILLAS
A LITTLE FROG, A BEAR
AN AIRPLANE OR CHINCHILLA
YOU CAN FOLD A CHAIR
FOLD YOUR ARMS OR AN UMBRELLA
PLAY AN ACCORDION RIPPLE,
FOLD A TACO
EAT YOUR FILL-A
ORIGAMI, IT'S NOT MAGIC
IT'S MATHEMATICS
ORIGAMI GIVES ME IDEAS
FOR FOLDING EVERYTHING
AROUND ME UNTIL I'M SORE
IT MAKES ME WANT TO KEEP
ON FOLDING MORE, MORE, MORE
ORIGAMI STYLE
OH, OH, OH, OH
ORIGAMI STYLE
OH, OH, OH, OH
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says HANDS-ON! ANGELA IS
A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER AND MATH
EXPERT WHO LOVES TO BUILD
GEOMETRIC ORIGAMI SHAPES IN
A STYLE CALLED MODULAR ORIGAMI.
Tiara and Alex stand next to Angela in a room.
Angela says MODULAR ORIGAMI
IS DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL
ORIGAMI. SO THIS IS A CRANE, AND
A CRANE IS A VERY TRADITIONAL
ORIGAMI SHAPE. IT'S MADE OUT
OF ONE SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER.
SO, THE DIFFERENCE WITH MODULAR
ORIGAMI, AND THE REASON I LOVE
IT SO MUCH, IS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE
A GEOMETRIC PUZZLE. WE CREATE
THESE COMPLEX SHAPES BY FOLDING
MULTIPLE PIECES OF PAPER OF
DIFFERENT PATTERNS AND DIFFERENT
COLOURS, AND PUT THEM TOGETHER
TO MAKE THESE LARGER FORMS.
SO FIRST THING, YOU'LL HAVE
TO SELECT ONE PIECE OF PAPER...
Alex says THIS ONE!
Angela says ... AND WE'LL START
BY FOLDING IT IN HALF.
Alex says HM-HM.
Angela says FLIP IT OVER, AND THEN YOU'RE
GOING TO FOLD IT AT AN ANGLE.
AND THEN FOLD THE LITTLE
TRIANGLE THAT'S STICKING OUT
BACK OVER AS WELL. OKAY.
SO NOW WE WANT TO FOLD THE OTHER
EDGE OVER, JUST AS WE DID
THE FIRST ONE.
Tiara says GOT IT.
Angela says YES. WE ALL HAVE
THE SAME SHAPE?
Tiara says YEAH.
Angela says OKAY. ONE MORE STEP.
YOU'RE GOING TO FOLD
THIS TRIANGLE OVER.
AND THEN WHAT DO WE HAVE?
Alex says A SQUARE.
Angela says A SQUARE.
Tiara says A SQUARE.
Angela says SO NOW THAT WE HAVE
OUR SQUARE, TAKE ANOTHER
PIECE OF PAPER AND FOLD
THE SAME SHAPE AGAIN.
SO NOW THAT WE'VE FINISHED OUR
SECOND SHAPE, WE CAN PUT ALL OF
THESE PIECES TOGETHER. WHAT WE
DO IS WE SLIDE IN THESE POINTS
INTO THESE LITTLE POCKETS.
THERE'S ONE.
Tiara says THERE'S 2.
Angela says THERE'S 2. WE'RE
STARTING TO HAVE A SHAPE.
Alex and Tiara says A CUBE!
Angela says SO IT'S ALWAYS
ABOUT FINDING THE POCKETS,
AND SLIDING THE SHAPE IN.
VOILA! A CUBE.
Alex says WHOA! IT'S SO COOL.
Hamza says HEY GUYS?
HOW COME YOUR MODULAR ORIGAMI
BOXES LOOK SO MUCH BETTER
THAN MINE?
Tiara says BECAUSE I THINK
WE HAVE THE HANDS-ON EXPERT.
Hamza says RIGHT. WELL,
MODULAR ORIGAMI IS DEFINITELY
SUPER COOL! EVEN IF I NEVER
FIGURE THIS OUT... BYE, GUYS!
The three of them say BYE, HAMZA!
Hamza says IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU
CAN DO WITH FOLDING! IN FACT,
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE...
(TIRES SQUEAL.)
(SOMETHING CRASHES OUTSIDE.)
Blaze says OH...
Hamza says BLAZE?
Blaze says I'M FINE,
THANKS TO THIS BAD BOY.
Blaze knocks on a helmet.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY?
Blaze says NO PROBLEMO,
HAMZA.
AND EVEN IF I WAS BANGED UP,
ORIGAMI CAN MAKE ME BETTER.
MAY I?
Hamza says TAKE IT AWAY, BLAZE.
Blaze says CHECK THIS OUT. SOME
DOCTORS AND ORIGAMI EXPERTS
ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE
TEENY-TINY ORIGAMI ROBOTS.
THESE SCIENTIST DUDES HOPE
TO MAKE ROBOTS FOLD DOWN
SO SMALL THEY'LL TRAVEL IN
YOUR BLOODSTREAM AND FIX YOU UP.
Hamza says TINY FOLDING ROBOTS
THAT FIX OUR INSIDES? WOW!
Blaze says YEAH!
The animated girl appears.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
The girl walks happily but then she falls. She screams and two little boxes fall on her injured knee. They turn into nurse robots that cure her.
The girl says LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
Blaze says I LOVE THOSE TINY
LITTLE ROBOTS. I JUST HOPE
THAT ONE DAY THEY CAN MAKE THOSE
ROBOTS LOOK LIKE LITTLE KITTENS.
IT WOULD BE SO CUTE.
Hamza says OH, YEAH. YEAH,
THAT WOULD BE, UH...
Blaze says IT WOULD BE SO CUTE!
ALRIGHT, BROTHER. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
Hamza says THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
(BLAZE CRIES.)
Blaze says I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.
Hamza says BYE.
SO THERE YOU GO.
ORIGAMI ISN'T JUST A BEAUTIFUL
FORM OF ART. THERE'S MATH HIDDEN
IN THESE FOLDS. IT HELPED SOLVE
SOME BIG PROBLEMS IN SPACE
EXPLORATION, IN CAR ENGINEERING
AND EVEN IN MEDICINE WITH
SUPER TINY ORIGAMI ROBOTS.
FOLDING EVEN HELPS SOMETHING
LARGE COLLAPSE DOWN INTO A
VERY SMALL SPACE, WHICH IS WHY
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED
FOR MY TRIP TO THE BEACH.
ALL I NEED IS MY BUS TICKET.
OH NO! IS IT IN HERE?
Kool Cat meows.
Hamza takes several large objects out of his suitcase, such as a cone, a cube, a soccer ball, an umbrella and a cushion.
Kool Cat shows him the ticket.
Hamza says WHAT? THERE IT IS!
OH, MAN!
WELL, BETTER GET FOLDING.
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
