In his studio, Hamza appears, playing a red electric guitar.

HAMZA SAYS OH, HI! I WAS JUST
SHREDDING SOME CHORDS ON MY AXE.
(ELECTRIC GUITAR, ROCK MUSIC)
YEAH! WHAT MAKES MUSIC MUSIC?
TO FIND OUT, WE'LL MAKE GUITARS,
GIVE KOOL CAT A TUNE-UP
AND MEET THE ORIGINAL...

Hamza, dressed as OTTO stands by fancy sound equipment and SAYS OTTO TUNE! LET'S EXPERIMENT WITH
SOME GNARLY WAVES.

HAMZA SAYS DRUM ROLL, PLEASE!

A percussion drumming band marches and plays.

CHILDREN SAY PIZZA! PIZZA!

In the studio, HAMZA SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE MUSIC
TO YOUR EARS NEXT ON
"LOOK, KOOL."
(ELECTRIC GUITAR, ROCK MUSIC)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

AN ANIMATED DRAWING SHOWS A FACTORY-LIKE STRUCTURE.
(CIRCUS-LIKE THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

HAMZA POPS UP SPINNING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND THEN PUTS ON HIS DARK GLASSES. THROUGH A GIANT PAIR OF GLASSES, THE FACTORY STRUCTURE IS SEEN AS COLOURFUL GEOMETRICAL SHAPES. THE SHAPES FALL AND LAND ON AN OPEN PARK GRASSLAND. THEY THEN ASSEMBLE INTO A CUBIST CITY WITH TALL BUILDINGS, AND AN ORANGE AND YELLOW HOT AIR BALLOON IN THE BACKGROUND. THE CITY GROWS, INCORPORATING PLAYGROUNDS AND PUBLIC AREAS. KOOL CAT APPEARS. IN THE SKY, AGAINST WHITE CLOUDS, THE SERIES TITLE READS "LOOK KOOL" IN BLUE, ORANGE, PURPLE, BROWN, YELLOW AND GREEN CAPITALS.

(KOOL CAT MEOWS.)

Kool Cat moves from side to side uncomfortably.

(STRANGE rattling SOUND FROM KOOL CAT)

HAMZA SAYS OH... POOR KOOL CAT HAS
A SCREW LOOSE. HEY, KOOL CAT...
LET'S OPEN YOU UP AND
SEE WHAT'S WRONG.
(KOOL CAT MEOWS IN FEAR)

Kool Cat runs away.

Hamza continues OH, THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE!
HOW COME SOME SOUND COMBINATIONS
SOUND PLEASANT AND OTHERS SOUND
LIKE A CAT WITH A SCREW LOOSE?

In a foreign accent OTTO SAYS IT'S A SIMPLE MATTER
OF FREQUENCY!

HAMZA SAYS WHO SAID THAT?

A magic screen shows Hamza dressed as Otto, in a gray shirt and pink tie.

OTTO SAYS IT WAS ME, SILLY HAMZA.

HAMZA SAYS WHO ARE YOU?

OTTO SAYS MY NAME IS OTTO.
OTTO TUNE!
(OTTO PLAYS THE SYNTHESIZER.)

Hamza says OTTO TUNE? SO, DO YOU WANT TO
TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT MUSIC
AND FREQUENCY? I'M ALL EARS.

Otto says I DO NOT UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE
YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY COMPOSED
ENTIRELY OF EARS. I SEE YOU...

Hamza says I WAS JUST... UH, CAN YOU TELL
ME WHAT MAKES SOME MUSIC SOUND
GOOD AND OTHERS, NOT SO MUCH?

OTTO SAYS SOUNDS ARE MADE OF WAVES
IN THE AIR. CAN YOU FEEL THEM?

HAMZA moves his shoulders and arms and SAYS NOT REALLY.

OTTO SAYS YOU CAN'T SEE THEM, BUT
I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT THEY LOOK
LIKE. YOU SEE THIS NOTE? IT HAS
EXACTLY 220 WAVES PER SECOND.

A caption in blue reads this as a regular blue wave pattern crosses the screen. Another caption reads "Frequency."

HAMZA SAYS OH, THAT'S COOL. NOW,
DOES EVERY NOTE HAVE A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF WAVES PER SECOND?

OTTO SAYS YEAH. THAT IS CALLED
FREQUENCY, BECAUSE IT IS HOW
FREQUENTLY THE SOUND WAVES
COME EVERY SECOND.
THE MORE SOUND WAVES PER SECOND,
THE HIGHER THE NOTE.
LOW. HIGH.
MEDIUM.
VERY LOW.

Captions in pink read the number of waves per second.

HAMZA SAYS BUT HOW COME SOME NOTES
SOUND GOOD TOGETHER AND
OTHERS SOUND BAD?

OTTO SAYS SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS. I PLAY
AN A. IT HITS YOU WITH EXACTLY
220 SOUND WAVES EVERY SECOND.
NOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE
TO PLAY A NOTE THAT WAS EXACTLY
ONE AND A HALF TIMES HIGHER THAN THE A?
THEN I ADD ANOTHER NOTE THAT
IS 1 AND A QUARTER TIMES
HIGHER THAN THE A.

HAMZA SAYS OH, THAT SOUNDS NICE.

OTTO SAYS OF COURSE, SILLY HAMZA!
IT WAS MADE BY ME.

HAMZA SAYS SO IF 1 NOTE IS AN EASY
FRACTION OF ANOTHER NOTE, THEN
THEY MIGHT SOUND GOOD TOGETHER.

OTTO SAYS YOU'RE SMART.
EXCEPT YOU THINK YOU ARE AN EAR.

A human ear covers Hamza with his arms outstretched.

HAMZA SAYS IT WAS A JOKE. COME ON!

OTTO SAYS IF YOU SAY SO. BUT
SUPPOSE I PLAY A NOTE THAT IS
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 1 AND
A HALF TIMES HIGHER THAN THAT.
YOU SEE, THE FREQUENCY IS NOT AN
EASY FRACTION OF THE OTHER NOTE.
(The two notes make a jarring sound)

Hamza says HOW COME THAT SOUNDS SO BAD?

OTTO SAYS LOOK AT THE WAVES.
I START WITH NICE, PRETTY,
REGULAR WAVES. BUT IF I ADD
ONE THAT IS OFF-KEY,
ALL THE WAVES TURN UGLY.
OUR BRAIN IS NOT HAPPY
TRYING TO PROCESS THESE WAVES.

The wave pattern crossing the screen becomes irregular and flashes in red.

Hamza says YEAH... SURFER DUDES CALL SOME
OF THOSE BAD WAVES GNARLY, BRO.

OTTO SAYS IS THIS A JOKE?

HAMZA SAYS YOU KNOW...
GNARLY? SURFERS? WAVES?

Otto says YOU KNOW WHAT, SILLY HAMZA?
YOU'RE RIGHT. LET'S EXPERIMENT
WITH SOME GNARLY WAVES.
(OTTO PLAYS THE SYNTHESIZER.)

HAMZA SAYS YEAH. NO... THANK YOU!
THANK YOU, OTTO TUNE!

A cartoon against graph paper shows a surfer with expanding and shrinking legs riding a red surfboard over peaky blue sound waves. He reaches a cloverleaf-shaped wave and falls into the sea with a splash.

OVER A SLATE OF KOOL CAT, A MONOCLE POPS ONTO HIS EYE.

A VOICE SAYS INVESTIGATION.

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS)

A SLATE IN COLOURFUL CAPITAL LETTERS, ACCOMPANIED BY A MAGNIFYING GLASS, READS "INVESTIGATION."

HAMZA TALKS TO TWO LITTLE GIRLS WHO APPEAR ON THE STUDIO SCREEN.
HE SAYS HI, INVESTIGATORS!

OWEN AND A.J. SAY HI, HAMZA!

HAMZA SAYS OWEN, A.J. I'VE GOT
A PROBLEM WITH KOOL CAT TODAY.
HE'S MAKING THIS REALLY
UNPLEASANT MUSICAL SOUND.
(UNPLEASANT MUSICAL SOUND)

Blond OWEN SAYS OH, THAT'S TERRIBLE!

HAMZA SAYS THAT'S WHY YOUR MISSION
IS TO FIND THINGS THAT MAKE
NICE SOUNDS, OR MUSIC.

OWEN SAYS LET'S DO IT!

HAMZA SAYS GO FOR IT!

OWEN SAYS LET'S GO, AJ!
HEY LOOK, A KEYBOARD!

A photo flashes

THE COMPUTER SAYS ELECTRONIC
MUSIC DEVICE IDENTIFIED.

OWEN SAYS LOOK AT HERE...

A.J. SAYS ARE THESE JUKEBOXES?

OWEN SAYS YEAH, IT'S
DEFINITELY A JUKEBOX.

HAMZA SAYS HEY, GUYS...
WHAT'S A JUKEBOX?

As the items appear and are mentioned, photos are taken of them.

A.J. SAYS IT'S A TYPE OF OLD
MACHINE. AND WHEN YOU PUT
MONEY IN, IT PLAYS MUSIC.
HEY, IS THAT A RADIO?
IS THAT A RECORD PLAYER?
IT'S SUPER OLD.
HEY, WHAT'S THAT? A MARXOPHONE?

A stringed instrument on a metal base appears.

OWEN SAYS NEVER HEARD OF IT.

THE COMPUTER SAYS A MARXAPHONE IS
A SMALL STRINGED INSTRUMENT
THAT USES SMALL HAMMERS
TO STRIKE THE STRINGS.
IT ISN'T SEEN MUCH TODAY, BUT
THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE AROUND
WHO KNOW HOW TO PLAY IT.

A.J. SAYS SEE THAT PINBALL MACHINE?

OWEN SAYS I USED TO PLAY
WITH THOSE ALL THE TIME.

A.J. SAYS YEAH, BUT DOES IT
REALLY MAKE NICE SOUNDS?

OWEN SAYS I FIND SO, YEAH.

HAMZA SAYS BUT IS IT MUSIC?

OWEN SAYS IT MAKES THESE,
LIKE, "PING" SOUNDS WHICH,
YEAH... I TEND TO LIKE.
IS THAT A TRUMPET?

A.J. SAYS I THINK IT'S A TROMBONE.
IT DOES MAKE MUSIC, BUT I DON'T
THINK IT'S ELECTRONIC. YOU KNOW,
YOU JUST BLOW INTO IT.

OWEN SAYS THERE'S ONE MORE THING
RIGHT THERE, DO YOU SEE IT?

AJ SAYS IT'S JUST A BIRTHDAY CARD.

OWEN SAYS NO, IF YOU PULL THIS...
(THE CARD BEGINS TO PLAY MUSIC.)
SEE? IT MAKES MUSIC!

A.J. SAYS AWESOME!

THE COMPUTER SAYS ELECTRONIC GREETING
CARDS HAVE A CIRCUIT THAT CAN
PLAY NOTES, JUST LIKE
ELECTRONIC KEYBOARDS.
(HAMZA PLAYS "FRERE JACQUES.")

HAMZA SAYS COMPOSERS AND MUSICIANS
WRITE DOWN THEIR MUSIC IN A VERY
SPECIAL WAY. THESE ARE ALL THE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SOUNDS
IN THE SONG "FRERE JACQUES."
BUT WHAT DO THESE MARKINGS MEAN?
LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.

THE KOOL CAT DISINTEGRATES INTO HIS COMPONENTS. A CAPTION READS "DECONSTRUCT." HE COMES TOGETHER AGAIN.

Hamza says DECONSTRUCT.

He waves and again says DECONSTRUCT! WHOA!
ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
A MUSIC STAFF IS LIKE A KIND
OF GRAPH. IT HAS A HORIZONTAL
AXIS AND A VERTICAL AXIS.

THE COMPUTER SAYS THE NOTE POSITION
ON THE VERTICAL AXIS TELLS
MUSICIANS WHAT FREQUENCY IT IS.

HAMZA SAYS COOL! MUSICAL NOTES
ARE PLOTTED ALONG THIS SPECIAL
GRAPH. BUT SOME NOTES LOOK
DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS.
SOME OF THEM HAVE THIS LITTLE
TAIL THING-Y AND SOME DON'T.
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

THE COMPUTER SAYS THE FLAGS TELL
THE MUSICIANS HOW LONG TO HOLD
THE NOTE. THE MORE FLAGS
THE SHORTER THE NOTE.

HAMZA SAYS THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A VERY CHALLENGING CONCEPT.
(Organ plays suspenseful note)

IN A CARTOON LANDSCAPE, A BLUE AND A YELLOW KOOL CAT RACE EACH OTHER, EMERGING FROM A TUNNEL AND BREASTING THE TAPE TOGETHER. A CAPTION OVER THE FINISH LINE READS "CHALLENGE" IN CAPITAL LETTERS

HAMZA STANDS IN A FIELD, BETWEEN TWO PAIRS OF KIDS FORMING TEAMS WITH DRUMS IN YELLOW AND BLUE TEAM JERSEYS.

With a mouthful of pizza, HAMZA SAYS CHALLENGE!
WHAT DO PIZZA AND
DRUMMING HAVE IN COMMON? WELL,
THAT'S WHAT TODAY'S CHALLENGE
IS ABOUT. TO MY RIGHT
I HAVE RIHANNA AND ERIN.

RIHANNA AND ERIN drum and SAY TEAM YELLOW!

HAMZA SAYS AND TO MY LEFT,
I HAVE NEPTUNE AND ANNI.

NEPTUNE AND ANNI drum and SAY TEAM BLUE!

Hamza says BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M FORGETTING
SOMETHING. OH, THAT'S RIGHT!
(HAMZA WHISTLES.)

A row of drummers play their drums-

Hamza says NOW, DRUMMERS...
YOU READ MUSIC, CORRECT?

DRUMMERS SAY YES!

EXCELLENT. CAN YOU READ PIZZA?

A DRUMMER SAYS YES... NO!

HAMZA SAYS THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
NOW, MUSICAL NOTES AND PIZZA
HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. JUST LIKE
PIZZA, MUSICAL NOTES CAN BE
DIVIDED INTO SMALLER PIECES.
THIS IS A WHOLE PIZZA.
AND THIS IS A WHOLE NOTE.

A slate shows a pizza and beside it another shows a blue note.
As Hamza speaks, the slate shows half and quarter notes.

Hamza says AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS.
(A NOTE PLAYS.)
JUST AS A PIZZA CAN BE DIVIDED
IN 2 HALVES, A WHOLE NOTE CAN BE
DIVIDED INTO 2 HALF NOTES. AND
THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE LIKE...
(TWO SHORTER NOTES.)
SO, A WHOLE PIZZA CAN BE CUT IN
HALVES. AND THOSE HALVES CAN BE
CUT INTO QUARTERS. THAT'S
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT A
WHOLE NOTE CAN BE CUT INTO 2
HALF NOTES, OR 4 QUARTER NOTES.
(FOUR SHORTER NOTES PLAY.)
NOW, WE CAN CUT OUR WHOLE PIZZA
INTO 8 SLICES. 8 SLICES... WHOLE
PIZZA. 8TH NOTE... WHOLE NOTE.
(EIGHT SHORTER NOTES PLAY.)
AWESOME! NOW THAT YOU KNOW
THE NOTES, ARE YOU READY
TO WIN SOME POINTS?

BOTH TEAMS SAY YEAH!

Hamza says OKAY! OUR INCREDIBLE DRUMMERS
ARE NOW GOING TO PLAY 3 QUICK
RHYTHMS. NOW, BASED ON WHAT THEY
PLAY, IT WILL BE YOUR JOB TO
DECIDE WHICH 1 OF THE 3 RHYTHMS
THEY PLAY HAS THIS MUSICAL NOTATION.

A red board with a white piece of paper showing a musical notation stands on an easel.

Hamza says PICK THE CORRECT ONE
AND YOU WIN THE POINT. THIS
SYMBOL INDICATES A REST, WHICH
IS A SILENCE BETWEEN DRUM BEATS.
NOW, TEAMS... ARE YOU READY?

The symbol for a "rest" looks like a cross between a checkmark and a lightning flash.

BOTH TEAMS SAY YES!

HAMZA SAYS ALRIGHT, DRUMMERS.
PLAY YOUR BEATS.
THAT'S 1.
THAT'S 2.
ALRIGHT, TEAM YELLOW.
WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK IT IS?

ERIN SAYS THE SECOND ONE.

HAMZA SAYS THE SECOND ONE?
WELL, YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY IT
TO KNOW IT FOR SURE.

HAMZA SAYS JUDGES?

THE DRUMMERS SAY YES!

Hamza says EXCELLENT! CONGRATULATIONS,
TEAM YELLOW. YOU WIN THE POINT.
TEAM BLUE, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
WE HAVE A NEW SET OF NOTES
FOR YOU. SO, DRUMMERS...
PLAY THOSE 3 RHYTHMS!
THAT'S 1.
THAT'S 2.
NOW, THAT'S 3.
BLUE TEAM, DO YOU THINK
YOU HAVE IT?

NEPTUNE SAYS THE THIRD ONE.

HAMZA SAYS YOU THINK IT'S THE
THIRD ONE? WELL, YOU'LL HAVE
TO PLAY IT TO MAKE SURE.

They play it.

Hamza says JUDGES?

DRUMMERS SAY YES!

Hamza says EXCELLENT! CONGRATULATIONS,
TEAM BLUE! YOU JUST WON A POINT!
IT IS ALL TIED UP AT 1.
AND WHEN WE GET BACK, THE TEAMS
ARE REALLY GOING TO GET LOUD.
(HAMZA BLOWS A WHISTLE.)

(Loud drumming)

A cartoon Beethoven character slings himself from a wooden slingshot toward a structure of numbers 2,3,4 and 5 in wooden frames. He hits it and it collapses.
(The first chords of the Heroic Symphony play)

Hamza says ALRIGHT. COME ON, KOOL CAT!
(UNPLEASANT SOUND)
OH, THAT'S ANNOYING! COME ON,
I'VE GOT TO FIX YOU, OTHERWISE
YOU'RE GOING TO SOUND
LIKE THAT FOREVER!

(Buzzer)
Hamza says OH, LOOKS LIKE THE INVESTIGATORS
HAVE FOUND SOMETHING.
HEY, INVESTIGATORS.

OWEN AND A.J. SAY HEY, HAMZA!

Multiple photos pop up on the screen.

Hamza says WHOA! YOU FOUND A LOT OF
THINGS THAT MAKE MUSIC! AWESOME!
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MUSIC ON AN
ACTUAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, NOW?

OWEN AND AJ SAY YEAH!

HAMZA SAYS OKAY. WELL,
THEN IT'S TIME FOR A...

(Theme music plays).
A cartoon animation shows a toast popping out of Kool Cat and landing in front of it, with a pawprint sign on it reading "Hands-On."

Hamza says HANDS-ON! JENNA IS A SCIENCE
STUDENT AND A MUSICIAN WHO PLAYS
LOTS OF DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS.
SHE SAYS MATH COMES IN HANDY
FOR DOING BOTH.

Reddish-blonde Jenna sits with Owen and A.J. and plays the guitar.
(GUITAR PLAYING)

OWEN AND A.J. SAY WOW!

A.J. SAYS THAT'S AMAZING.

Jenna says SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT AS I'M
PLAYING THE NOTES ARE CHANGING.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE I'M PUSHING
MY FINGERS TO MAKE THE STRINGS
SHORTER. WHEN THE STRING IS
SHORTER, IT'S VIBRATING FASTER.

HAMZA SAYS OH! SO, THE SHORTER
THE STRING THE HIGHER THE NOTE.

JENNA SAYS DO YOU GUYS WANT
TO MAKE YOUR OWN GUITARS NOW?

OWEN AND A.J. SAY YEAH!
(Fast banjo music plays)
The kids have a sounding box each.

JENNA SAYS LET'S DO IT! YOU'RE
GOING TO TAKE TURNS TAKING THE
CUP AND YOU'RE GOING TO DRAW A
CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE. EXACTLY.
SO NOW YOU'RE GOING TO CUT OUT
THAT CIRCLE, IN THE MIDDLE.
PERFECT. NOW WE WANT TO PUT ON
THE STRINGS. WE HAVE A BUNCH
OF DIFFERENT ELASTICS HERE.
THEY'RE DIFFERENT SIZES.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WANT
THICKER ONES AND THINNER ONES.

HAMZA SAYS I GET IT! ELASTICS
WITH DIFFERENT THICKNESS WILL
VIBRATE FASTER OR SLOWER,
MAKING DIFFERENT SOUNDS.

JENNA SAYS NOW, IF YOU PUT THE
ELASTICS FROM THIN TO THICK,
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT LIKE
AN ACTUAL GUITAR. AWESOME.
LIKE YOU SAW ON THE GUITAR,
RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN SEE, YOU
HAVE THIS THING THAT'S KIND
OF LIFTING THE STRINGS UP.
AND YOU HAVE THE SAME THING
AT THE BOTTOM. SO WE'RE GOING
TO DO THAT, TOO. SO GRAB
2 PENCILS EACH.

She points out the saddle supporting the strings.

A.J. SAYS ARE WE GOING
TO PUT THEM UNDER?

Jenna says YES, EXACTLY. SO, YOU'RE GOING
TO PUT IT ON THE GUITAR. SO
THIS IS CALLED THE BRIDGE.

A.J. SAYS AND DO I PUT ONE HERE?

JENNA SAYS YEAH. SO YOU'RE GOING
TO WANT TO DRAG IT A LITTLE
FURTHER DOWN THIS WAY. SO MAYBE
HERE AND HERE. AND NOW WE'RE
READY FOR THE HANDLE.

A.J. puts a blue handle on his red box.

A.J. SAYS THAT DOESN'T LOOK BAD.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD,
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK BAD.

JENNA SAYS AND WE'RE DONE.
YOU HAVE YOUR GUITARS.
(AJ PLAYS THE GUITAR.)
DO YOU HEAR HOW THEY'RE SOUNDING
DIFFERENT? OWEN, WHY DON'T
YOU TRY THE SAME THING?

OWEN SAYS THE THICKER ONES SOUND
VERY BASE AND LOW. THE THINNER
ONES SOUND VERY HIGH.

JENNA SAYS EXACTLY. THE THICKER
ONES ARE MOVING SLOWER THROUGH
THE AIR BECAUSE THEY'RE HEAVIER
AND THEREFORE THEY'RE WANTING
TO PRODUCE A LOWER SOUND. THE
THINNER ONES ARE MOVING FASTER
THROUGH THE AIR BECAUSE THEY'RE
LIGHTER. SO THEY'RE GOING
TO PRODUCE A HIGHER SOUND.

HAMZA SAYS HEY, INVESTIGATORS.
THOSE BOX GUITARS TOTALLY ROCK!

All three play together.

JENNA SAYS SOUNDS GREAT, GUYS.

HAMZA SAYS THAT DOES SOUND GREAT.
I STILL THINK THAT IT COULD
USE A BIT OF HAMZA.
(ELECTRIC GUITAR)

Kool Cat appears wearing headphones.
(KOOL CAT MEOWS IN DISCOMFORT.)

HAMZA SAYS OKAY, KOOL CAT
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT SONG.
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
(Lyrical music plays)
Hamza wearing a shirt and lederhosen walks in a blizzard on snow covered mountains.

Hamza sings with a German accent and says "I'M FROZEN IN MY LEDERHOSEN
STILL, I LOVE TO SING
IT'S THE LIFE I'VE CHOSEN
TRA-LA-LA, DING-A-LING
BUT HERE'S AN AMAZING THING
WHATEVER YOUR MUSICAL STYLING
WHETHER ROCK OR CAROLING
HIP-HOP OR YODELING
MATHEMATICS
IS UNDER EVERYTHING."
The scene changes to modern music.

Hamza sings and says "THE NOTES ON THE SCALE
SEEM FAR, FAR AWAY
BUT THERE'S NUMBERS
IN THE NOTES,
SO LISTEN WHAT I SAY
NOTES IS AN OCTAVE
THAT'S GOING DO-DO-DO
AND IF YOU PLAY IT DOUBLE TIME
YOU'RE FAST AND NEVER SLOW
ALRIGHT,
LOOK, KOOL
CHECK THIS OUT
2 HALF NOTES MAKE A WHOLE NOTE
5 LINES MAKE A STAFF
A DROP OF GOLDEN SUN'S RAY
MUSIC'S FULL OF MATH, YO
LEDERHOSEN, HA!"
He?s back in the Alps with the cows.
(COWS MOOING)

(Fun music plays)
A Rubik Cube assembles Kool Cat'simage.
The outline of a whiskered cat's face featuring multi-coloured cogs in its brain reads "Brain Bender."

Hamza says BRAIN BENDER! TODAY'S BRAIN
BENDER IS MUSIC-BY-THE-NUMBERS.
AND OUR PUZZLERS TODAY
ARE ANJALI AND REILLY.

ANJALI AND REILLY SAY HI!

Hamza says YOU KNOW THAT MUSICIANS USE
LETTERS TO NAME NOTES, RIGHT?

ANJALI AND REILLY SAY YEAH.

HAMZA SAYS THE MUSICAL SCALE IS
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. OR...
(HAMZA PLAYS THE MUSICAL SCALE.)
BUT YOU COULD ALSO ASSIGN
A NUMBER TO EACH KEY,
JUST LIKE ON YOUR KEYBOARD.
THAT WAY YOU COULD WRITE
SONGS WITH NUMBERS!
READY TO GIVE IT A TRY?

ANJALI AND REILLY SAY YEAH.

HAMZA SAYS HERE'S YOUR SONG!
IT GOES LIKE THIS...
(HAMZA HUMS "LA CUCARACHA.")

Hamza says OKAY, PUZZLERS. TRY AND FIGURE
OUT HOW TO WRITE THE SONG
WITH NUMBERS.

ANJALI SAYS LET'S TRY 1.

REILLY SAYS YEAH, WELL LET'S TRY 4 FOR NOW.

ANJALI SAYS WELL, I THINK 5
IS THE NOTE AFTER 1.

REILLY SAYS YES!
5, THEN 6.

ANJALI SAYS BUT YOU HAD
THREE ONES YOU PUT IN THERE.

REILLY SAYS OH, YEAH! WE NEED
AN EXTRA 1, NOW A 5 THEN A 6.

ANJALI SAYS SO LET'S TRY THAT.
THEN, IT HAS TO REPEAT.

REILLY SAYS SO THERE'S A 1.
AND THEN A 5 AND A 6.

ANJALI SAYS I'VE GOT A 5.

ANJALI SAYS AND I WILL GET THE 6.

REILLY SAYS OH, IT'S NOT A 5,
IT'S A 4! OOPSIES!

ANJALI SAYS THERE WE GO.
I THINK IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF
NOTES FOR THE "LA, LA, LA."..

ANJALI SAYS OH...
THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDED RIGHT.
WE'VE JUST GOT TO ACCEPT THERE
WERE ONE TOO MANY NOTES.

ANJALI SAYS LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.

REILLY SAYS THAT'S IT!
WE GOT IT!

Hamza says WELL, SING YOUR NUMBERS TO BE SURE.
(THEY SING THE NUMBERS.)

Hamza says EXCELLENT! YOU GOT IT!

ANJALI AND REILLY SAY YEAH!

HAMZA SAYS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS.

IN A CARTOON LANDSCAPE, A BLUE AND A YELLOW KOOL CAT RACE EACH OTHER, EMERGING FROM A TUNNEL AND BREASTING THE TAPE TOGETHER. A CAPTION OVER THE FINISH LINE READS "CHALLENGE" IN CAPITAL LETTERS

Hamza says CHALLENGE! WE ARE BACK
WITH OUR 2 TEAMS AND
OUR AMAZING DRUM SQUAD.
(Drumming)
NOW, IT'S A TIE AFTER ROUND 1.
SO IN ROUND 2 WE'RE GOING
TO KEEP THINGS VERY SIMPLE.
THE DRUMMERS ARE GOING TO PLAY,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
REPEAT THE BEAT THEY PLAY.
YOU'RE WITH ME SO FAR?

BOTH TEAMS SAY YES.

HAMZA SAYS ALRIGHT.
NEPTUNE, YOU'RE UP FIRST.

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
Neptune repeats correctly.

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS INCORRECTLY)
(A BUZZER RINGS.)

Hamza says OH, THAT WAS CLOSE.
SO, 3 POINTS FOR TEAM BLUE.

AND ANNI, YOU'RE UP NEXT.

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS INCORRECTLY)
(A BUZZER RINGS.)

Hamza says OH! 2 POINTS FOR ANNI, WHICH
BRINGS TEAM BLUE'S SCORE UP TO 5
FOR THIS ROUND AND 6 TOTAL.

To the camera, Hamza says THEY'RE REALLY DRUMMING UP
A STORM. LET'S SEE WHAT
MY MIND'S EYEGLASSES HAVE
TO SAY ABOUT THAT. (Puts them on)

A speeded-up computer voice accompanies a speeded-up clip showing colourful notes proliferating.

THE COMPUTER SAYS WHEN A WHOLE NOTE
IS DIVIDED INTO SMALLER NOTES
IT IS ALWAYS BY HALF. A HALF
NOTE BECOMES A QUARTER NOTE,
THEN AN 8TH NOTE, THEN A 16TH
NOTE AND SO ON. AS NOTES GET
SMALLER, THE WAY THEY ARE
WRITTEN STAYS THE SAME WITH THE
ADDITION OF FLAGS.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP SLICING
THEM IN HALF NOTES WILL GET SMALLER
UNTIL THEY ALL BLEND
INTO EACH OTHER.

HAMZA SAYS THE SCORE TO BEAT,
TEAM YELLOW, IS 6.
ERIN, YOU'RE UP NEXT.

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS INCORRECTLY)
(A BUZZER RINGS.)

Hamza says OH! 2 POINTS FOR ERIN. RI-RI,
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. THE SCORE
TO MATCH IS 3. 4 TO BEAT.
ARE YOU READY?

RIHANNA SAYS YEAH!

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS CORRECTLY)

(THE DRUMMER PLAYS.)
(REPEATS INCORRECTLY)
(A BUZZER RINGS.)

HAMZA SAYS OH! 2 POINTS, RIHANNA!
WHICH BRINGS TEAM YELLOW'S SCORE
TO 4 IN THIS ROUND, 5 TOTAL.
TEAM BLUE, YOU WIN WITH
A SCORE OF 6! CONGRATULATIONS!
(applause)
(drums beating applause)

Hamza says AND A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR TEAM
YELLOW, TOO. VERY ADMIRABLE!
NOW WE CAN'T HAVE A CHALLENGE
WITHOUT PRIZES. AND AS WE'VE
LEARNED TODAY, WE CAN'T HAVE
MUSICAL NOTES WITHOUT PIZZA!

THE CHILDREN WAVE THEIR ARMS AND SAY PIZZA!
PIZZA...
PIZZA...
PIZZA...
PIZZA... PIZZA... PIZZA!

THE DRUMMERS MARCH OFF, LEADING THE CHILDREN.
(Drumming)

The cartoon Beethoven holds a pizza decorated with red musical notes. he cuts a slice.

BEETHOVEN SAYS MMM!

A HUGE BLUE CAT-LIKE MONSTER WITH BIG TEETH AND A PYRAMIDAL HAT ON ITS HEAD APPEARS. BEETHOVEN OFFERS IT THE LARGER PIECE.
(THE TWO GULP AND BURP MUSICALLY IN THE OPENING CHORDS OF THE HEROIC SYMPHONY)

TOGETHER THEY SAY EXCUSE ME!
(THE TWO LAUGH.)
(Fast music plays)

As Hamza speaks, quick clips show parts of the episode.
HAMZA SAYS MATH IS EVERYWHERE
IN MUSIC. RIGHT, KOOL CAT?
IT'S IN HOW WE MEASURE
THE FREQUENCIES OF
THE SOUNDS WE HEAR.
HOW WE MEASURE THE FRACTIONS
OF PIZZA. I MEAN, NOTES!
MATH ALSO TELLS US HOW TO
BUILD OUR INSTRUMENTS TO GET
THE SOUNDS THAT WE WANT.

He produces a tuba.

Hamza says HOW WE GRAPH THE NOTES
WE WRITE IN MUSIC.
AND IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHY
SOMETHING SOUNDS SO TERRIBLE.

To the camera, Hamza says UH-OH! IT LOOKS LIKE KOOL CAT
IS GOING TO COUGH SOMETHING UP.
(KOOL CAT COUGHS.)

Hamza says KOOL CAT!
YOU SWALLOWED A HARMONICA?
(KOOL CAT MEOWS IN AGREEMENT.)
NO WONDER YOU WERE SICK! HEY, IF
YOU WANT TO LEARN THE HARMONICA
YOU DON'T SWALLOW IT.
YOU HAVE TO BLOW INTO IT! UH...
MAYBE I SHOULD CLEAN IT FIRST.
OH, MAYBE NOT!
OH, YEAH. DEFINITELY HAVE TO
CLEAN THIS ONE. SEE YOU NEXT
TIME FOR MORE
"LOOK, KOOL."

To Kool Cat, he says HEY,
DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY TUBA WENT?
(KOOL CAT MEOWS.)

Over a radiating design in green and geometrical frames with clips of the Look Kool challenge, the end credits roll.
