- Mathroom, play back the Patternista's noises.
(squeaking) (train whistling) (mooing) (train whistling) (squeaking) (train whistling) - She said figure out the next noise.
How are we supposed to do that?
- Wait, she's called "the Patternista".
Maybe those noises are a pattern.
That means they would be in a certain order.
- But all the noises mixed together, it's like, "Ugh, gag me with a spoon."
- So let's give each sound a number, to make it easier to figure out the pattern.
Play 'em, Mathroom.
(squeaking) That's 1.
(train whistling) - 2.
(mooing) - 3.
(train whistling) That's a train, so 2 again.
(noises playing in succession) - The pattern is 1, 2, 3.
- But dude, look!
If it was 1, 2, 3, there would be another 1 after the 3, because it would be starting again.
But look, there's another 2 after the 3.
The pattern is 1, 2, 3, 2, and then it repeats.
- Dude, you just... - 1, 2, 3, 2... 1, 2, 3, 2... And then just 1, 2, 3.
That means 2 is next!
- So we can find the ball of gum at "train"?
What does that even mean?
- Maybe it's a place where you find trains.
- Yeah!
- Let's go.
