etings, agents.- Hi, Mathroom.
Okay, let's look over the evidence so far.
First, the cakes at the bakery split into two equal pieces.
Halves.
But then the books split into 4 equal pieces.
Fourths.
- And the bridge split into 8 equal pieces.
Eighths.
- (Olive): But why halves, then fourths, then eighths?
- The Great Grinaldi.
- Otto, can you forget about Grinaldi for a minute?
- No.
Mathroom, bring up a picture of Grenaldi in his magic box.
- Generating images.
- Other magicians saw themselves in half once, but Grenaldi wants to be better, so he saws himself in half 3 times.
And when you split something once, you have 1, 2 equal pieces.
Halves.
- And if you split each of those equal halves in half, you have 1, 2, 3, 4 equal pieces.
Fourths.
And splitting each of those 4 equal pieces in half again gives you 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 equal pieces.
Eighths!
- Mathroom, show us a map of the theatre where Grinaldi was performing.
- Generating images.
- It's close to the bakery, the library and the bridge.
- Grinaldi did say his magic is so great, it's everywhere.
So it must have leaked outside of the theatre!
- We gotta get to Grinaldi's show.
- That's what I've been trying to say all day!
