The next booby trap should be around here somewhere.
- (Otto): I think I found it.
- OK, the good news is all these booby traps run on a pattern.
- Something that repeats?
- Exactly.
So, if you know the pattern, you can figure out which squares are safe to step on.
- What's the bad news?
- I, uh, forgot the pattern.
(overlapping shouting) Hold on!
I have more good news!
I just found jellybeans in my pockets.
- That is good news.
- I'll figure out this pattern.
Black square first.
(kids screaming) - (Olive and Oscar): Not safe!
That's like NO!
- Let me try white square.
- Nothing happened!
- The pattern must be: all white squares are safe.
Let's go!
See?
(screaming) - What happened?!
- Ms. O's frozen!
- (Otto): I know!
- Why did you ask?
- Because I'm freaking out!
You two go on without me.
I'll just stay here and listen to my music.
- ♪ Up down left right ♪ - This song is really good.
- Otto!
- ♪ I'm gonna jump ♪ - You have to keep going.
It's what Ms. O would have wanted.
Ms. O, blink if you agree.
- But how are we supposed to get through all this?
- That black square and that white square are bad.
- (Otto): But that white square is good!
- Let's test the next black square.
- I got this.
- (all): Safe!
- Maybe the safe squares keep switching from white to black.
- Shoe time.
- (all): Safe!
- So the pattern of the safe squares must be changing from white to black.
In the first row, white was safe.
In the second row, black square was safe.
And in the third row, white was safe again.
- So, in the fourth row, it should be black.
Let's go!
- Wait!
Till anything a pattern, the sequence has to repeat itself at least 2 times.
Good luck, my little jellybean.
- (all): Safe!
- So, that's the pattern.
It goes white-black, white-black.
Ms. O, we're gonna shut off the alarm and then come back for you.
You heard her!
Let's roll out!
- So, Oscar, how many booby traps did you make?
- You know, it's not really the quantity as much as the quality that counts.
