All: WHOA, OW, OOH!
ANYONE HURT?
Digit: IT WAS A TRAP, AND YOU KNEW IT!
I SAID YOU HAD TO POUR EXACTLY ONE CUP OF SAND INTO THE GOBLET OR THE GATE WOULDN'T OPEN.
WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE CUP.
Inez: THAT'S OKAY, DIDGE, WE ALL DID.
I GUESS THIS IS HARDER THAN WE THOUGHT.
Jackie: AT LEAST WE KNOW ONE THING, ESTIMATING WON'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
Matt: COME ON, LET'S TRY AGAIN.
THE BOSS TOLD ME I COULD BE HIS BEST MAN AT THE WEDDING.
HE TOLD ME I COULD!
I'M SMARTER THAN YOU ARE!
I'M TALLER!
I'M FASTER!
UGH!
Hacker: YOU TWO DUNCEBUCKETS GIVE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM, BEST MAN!
Erica: OH AND THIS GOWN WAS DESIGNED BY LAURA WING, AND FEATURES LOTS OF FLUFFY FEATHERS, NOT REAL OF COURSE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, PRINCESS?
Wicked: OH, ERICA, THEY'RE SIMPLY FABOO!
CAN I HAVE THEM ALL?
NO!
YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE.
Wicked: WELL, FINE!
I'LL TAKE THE ONE WITH THE FEATHERS!
Jackie: OKAY, GUYS, THINK.
HOW CAN WE MEASURE EXACTLY ONE CUP OF SAND WHEN ALL WE HAVE IS A TWO CUP MEASURE AND A THREE CUP MEASURE?
YOU GOT ME.
IT'S TOO HARD!
THERE'S GOT TO BE ANOTHER WAY TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
Inez: ANOTHER WAY, THAT'S IT!
AND I QUOTE, WHEN A PROBLEM IS TOO HARD TRY SOMETHING SIMPLER.
Matt: WHO SAID THAT ONE?
Inez: MARIA GARCIA, MI ABUELA.
Digit: WHO'S THAT?
Inez: MY GRANDMOTHER.
Raven: EXCUSE ME.
BUT THE WEDDING IS TODAY!
NOT NEXT WEEK!
OKAY, OKAY.
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THESE TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM SIMPLER?
YOU CAN POUR 'EM OR YOU CAN FILL 'EM.
HOW MUCH SIMPLER DO YOU WANT?
Inez: WHY NOT TRY POURING THE TWO CUP INTO THE THREE CUP TO START, JAX?
Digit: THAT WAS EXCITING.
Jackie: DIGIT, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT WAS EXCITING.
WE JUST POURED TWO CUPS OF SAND INTO THE THREE CUP MEASURE AND HERE'S OUR ONE CUP!
BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THAT PART.
YES, THERE IS.
ENOUGH SPACE FOR EXACTLY ONE CUP FULL.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I START OUT WITH A FULL THREE CUP AND POUR IT INTO THE TWO CUP.
TWO CUPS IN THIS ONE, GIVES US ONE CUP IN THIS ONE!
Jackie: YOU'RE RIGHT, MATT.
Inez: WE DID IT!
Jackie: FOLLOW ME.
ONE CUP OF SAND INTO THE GOBLET AND OPEN SESAME!
Kids: IT WORKED!
LET'S FREE THE PRINCESS!
WOO-HOO!
Hacker: (GRUMBLING) AW BOSS, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
Hacker: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO WICKED, THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER!
BUT BOSS, SHE'S A PRINCESS, A PRINCESS WITH POWER!
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO STAY FOCUSED.
SHE IS A PRINCESS, WITH POWER, AND I'LL BE A PRINCE WITH EVEN MORE POWER!
I'LL BE, LET ME THINK... MARRIED!
AHHH!
Wicked: YOO HOO, HELLO HACKIE-POO.
HELLO, MY BLUSHING BRIDE.
UGH!
THE THINGS I DO TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL OF TOTAL DOMINATION!
Inez: WHOA.
WHICH DOOR DO WE USE?
Raven: THE ONE ON THE RIGHT!
THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAS AN OGRE BEHIND IT.
THE OGRE IS BEHIND THIS ONE?
Ogre: ARGHHHHH!
Digit: YOIKES!
HE'S RIGHT.
REFRESH MY MEMORY.
AN OGRE IS...?
Matt: A BIG, UGLY MONSTER THAT ACCORDING TO MYTHOLOGY, EATS PEOPLE.
OKAY!
I GOTTA GO NOW.
Inez: HANG ON, DIDGE.
WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT.
IT'S LOCKED!
KEYS!
Raven: OH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!
SEVEN OF THOSE EIGHT KEYS WEIGH THE SAME.
ONE IS LIGHTER.
ONLY THE LIGHTEST KEY WILL OPEN THE DOOR.
LET ME GUESS, IF WE TRY THE WRONG KEY THE FLOOR OPENS UP?
NO.
USE THE WRONG KEY, AND THE DOOR WITH THE OGRE OPENS.
Ogre: (ROAR) Kids: AHHHH!
EW!
HEY!
A SCALE!
Inez: COOL!
LET'S USE IT TO WEIGH ALL THE KEYS.
THAT SHOULD SHOW US WHICH ONE'S LIGHTEST!
GOOD IDEA.
BUT THIS SCALE CAN'T TELL US WHAT SOMETHING WEIGHS.
IT ONLY SHOWS WHETHER TWO THINGS WEIGH THE SAME OR NOT.
Inez: I THINK WE CAN STILL USE IT.
WHAT IF WE COMPARE EACH OF THE KEYS WITH THE OTHERS?
Digit: WHAT'S UP WITH YOU GUYS!
WE'VE GOT A WEDDING TO STOP!
IT COULD TAKE HOURS TO COMPARE ALL THOSE KEYS!
AH.
THERE'S ONE MORE THING.
YOU CAN ONLY USE THE BALANCE SCALE THREE TIMES.
Digit: YOU SURE YOU'RE ON OUR SIDE?
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
ON THE FOURTH TRY, THE OGRE COMES OUT.
Ogre: (ROAR) Jackie: OH MAN, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TRIES IT'S GONNA TAKE!
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
Matt: HMM?
WE'RE BACK TO INEZ'S GRANDMA.
TRY SOMETHING SIMPLER.
WAIT!
I HAVE AN IDEA!
INSTEAD OF COMPARING EACH OF THE KEYS WITH THE OTHERS, LET'S SPLIT THEM IN TWO EQUAL GROUPS.
THE LIGHTEST KEY HAS TO BE IN ONE OF THEM, RIGHT?
Inez: LET'S WEIGH THEM AND FIND OUT!
Jackie: OKAY, THIS SIDE WENT DOWN BECAUSE IT'S HEAVIER.
SO THE LIGHTEST KEY HAS TO BE IN THIS PILE OF FOUR!
NOW LET'S SPLIT THIS LIGHTER PILE AND WEIGH THEM AGAIN.
Matt: IT'S WORKING!
WE'RE DOWN TO TWO KEYS.
IT'S GOT TO BE ONE OF THESE TWO.
IT BETTER BE!
ONLY ONE WEIGHING LEFT BEFORE HUNGRY OGRE TIME!
Matt: HERE IT IS!
THE LIGHTEST KEY.
GUARANTEED!
GOTTA HAND IT TO YOUR GRANDMA, INEZ.
THIS PROBLEM STARTED HARD... Inez: BUT GOING SIMPLE MADE IT EASY.
YOU DID SAY THE RIGHT DOOR?
TRUST ME.
