I'm hungry.
You're always hungry.
Carrot cake!
Huh?
Oh, boy!
I'm gonna get a big, lip-smackin' one-eighth piece.. cause eight is much, much bigger than three.
Ah, bonjour.
One-eighth for you, Monsieur Buzz.
One-third for you, m'sieu Delete.
Bon apetit, my little petits bots.
Hey, not so fast!
That's gotta be my one-eighth piece.
See?
It's bigger!
Let's trade.
No way!
You got the piece you asked for.
I did not!
I'll prove it to you.
My tiny little piece goes here.. ...and your great big piece goes here.
So this cake's gotta be the one with the one-eighth pieces!
So how come it's cut into... ...one-two-three pieces?
But this one... ...is cut into one-two-three-four-five-six- seven-eight pieces?
You mean my one-eighth piece came from a cake cut into eight equal pieces?
Looks like it!
And your one-third piece came from a cake cut into only three equal pieces?
No wonder your piece is bigger!
You got it, Buzzy!
And I got something else..
...The bigger piece!
Hey, Cyber fans.
Those fractions sure gave Buzz a big surprise.
Did fractions ever surprise you?
