Segments

• Newsroom Interruption: Phoneymooners

• The Phoneymooners: Juggling the Books

Alph, Throckmorton, and Audrey have 3 piles of 27, 19, and 5 books. To make sure that each one is carrying the same load, they rearrange the books to make 3 equal piles - and so find the average.

• Grocery Packing - Part 1

This 4-part sketch illustrates the idea of a non-computational algorithm by correctly placing groceries in a bag. In part 1, Nebbish errs by putting a heavy can on top of the eggs.

• Exclusive Music Video: "Count on It" (Count on It) (EKA #103)

This song presents various ways that math shows up in the world.

• Grocery Packing - Part 2

Nebbish doesn't break the eggs this time, but he squishes a loaf of bread by placing a heavy box of soap on top of it.

• Show Remainder

• Grocery Packing - Part 3

Will this guy ever learn? He puts the heavy can of brussel sprouts in first, but then puts the heavy box of soap on top of the cream puffs.

• Trout on the Head (EKA #130)

This commercial uses a horizontal bar graph to illustrate that most quacks sampled suggest putting a trout on one's head as a headache remedy.

• Grocery Packing - Part 4

Finally, Nebbish puts the can into the bag first, then the box of soap. Now, he is free to put the bread, cream puffs, and eggs in without breaking or squishing them.

• But Who's Adding?: Anthony vs. Jada

2 contestants attempt to cover 3 numbers in a row by selecting addends of those numbers from the Addend board and calling out the resultant sum.
