- Greetings, agents!
- Hi, Mathroom.
OK, so first, we saw wheels disappear, then bagels, then triangle chairs.
Let's see if we can find a pattern.
Mathroom, make us some counters.
- (Mathroom): Generate-- - Wait.
What kind of counters?
Kitchen counters?
Bathroom counters?
- No.
Counters are like little versions of the real thing, so we can see what happened.
We can make them look like chairs, wheels, and bagels.
- I like bagels.
Generating counters.
- Let's start with chairs.
So we start with 5... then they went down to 1.
How many were taken away?
- The number in that pile.
1, 2, 3, 4.
I call bagels!
- OK, OK, they're yours.
We started with 12, and then we had 8.
So 1, 2, 3, 4 were taken away.
- Last, the wheels.
We had 4.
- And then we had none.
Zero!
- All 4 were taken away.
- Hey!
It's like the song Take away 4.
♫And you take away 4 Oh whoa oh♫ This is usually the part where you stop me.
- I won't because you're absolutely right.
Every time your song played, something disappeared.
Take away 4 is actually taking away 4!
- If music is the problem, then maybe music is the answer.
- What are you looking at?
- (whispering): Music.
