Transcript: Spirals
The scene opens with Kool Kat?s eyes spinning with a black and white spiral like a hypnotizer. Kool Kat is a blue cat with a toaster-like body and red roller wheels for paws.
Hamza says ARE YOU GETTING SLEEPY?
WELL WAKE UP. THERE'S
A SPIRAL INVASION.
An animation of aliens flying through a spiraling galaxy appears on screen.
The aliens say LOOK.
Hamza says SPIRALS ARE EVERYWHERE.
The aliens say SPIRALLY.
Hamza continues TO FIND OUT WHY WE'LL MEET
A REBELLIOUS SNAIL.
In Hamza?s studio, Rebellious Snail walks in through the guest door wearing a blue wig, two antennae, and a black leather jacket and says REBELLIOUS SNAIL?
YEAH, WHATEVER!
Hamza says AND A SPIRAL IMPOSTER.
WE'LL SHAKE OUT OUR CRAZY HAIR.
Hamza appears on screen wearing a large black curly wig and a black, blue, white, and red rocker?s outfit.
Hamza speaks into the microphone and says WHAT?
A kid from the yellow team falls and Hamza says AND SPIN 'TIL WE'RE DIZZY.
The kid falls and says AH!
Hamza says ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TODAY
ON LOOK.
The green alien from the spaceship appears on screen with his mouth spiraling.
The alien says CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Hamza says KOOL!
(THEME MUSIC)
The opening sequence appears on screen.
Hamza spins in a circle while standing in front of a cityscape in the background and puts on black sunglasses. He turns around and looks at the city behind him that transforms into colourful 3-D geometric shapes that fall onto the green grass and start to grow back into a new animated city. All the shapes unfold and the colourful geometric-shaped title rises and unfolds into the sky.
The title reads "Look Kool."
Kool Kat says MEOW!
The opening sequence ends.
The scene opens in Hamza?s studio. Hamza is colouring in a black and white spiral.
Hamza says ... IN THERE, A LITTLE
MORE COLOR IN THE LINES...
STAY IN THE LINES.
AND WE'RE GOOD.
HELLO AND WELCOME
TO HAMZA THE MYSTERIOUS'S
AMAZING TRAVELING
HYPNOSIS SHOW.
Hamza begins to twirl his spiral.
Hamza says YOU ARE GETTING SLEEPY.
KEEP LOOKING INTO MY SPIRAL.
I MEAN MY AMAZING
HYPNOSIS DEVICE.
OK, MAYBE I'M NO HYPNOTIST BUT
AREN'T SPIRALS THE COOLEST?
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF SPIRALS.
SPIRALS THAT CURVE IN. SPIRALS
THAT CURVE OUT AND SPIRALS THAT
KEEP CURVING OUT FURTHER AND
FURTHER. SPIRALS ARE ALL AROUND
US. I MEAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT WE
LIVE IN A SPIRAL?
KEEP GOING!
The angle zooms out of the studio and goes out into space and Hamza says NO, NO, EVEN FURTHER!
NOPE! KEEP GOING!
THERE WE GO!
THE MILKY WAY GALAXY
WHERE WE LIVE
IS ALSO A SPIRAL.
The Milky Way galaxy appears on screen.
An animation of two aliens in a spaceship appears on screen and one alien says LOOK. SPIRALLY!
The other alien says OOH! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
The alien guides the spaceship in a circle and says SO HYP-NO-TIZING?
The other alien says HYP-NO-TIZING!
AWWWW...
The ship spins and the alien says NOW, CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Hamza says INVESTIGATION.
Back in the studio, Hamza speaks to Han Ru and Stefano on the projection screen.
Stefano and Han Ru appear on screen standing outside of a house. Han Ru has shoulder-length, middle-parted, wavy black hair and Stefano has short, dark brown, feathery hair. They both wear white T-shirts with an eye in the middle with four arrows that point around it.
Hamza says HI INVESTIGATORS.
They both say HEY HAMZA.
Hamza says YOUR INVESTIGATION TODAY
IS TO FIND AS MANY SPIRALS
AS YOU CAN. NOW CAN YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE?
They both say UM?
Stefano says YES. I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING ROUND OR
SOMETHING THAT SPIRALS IN...
Han Ru says YEAH. THE MOST IMPORTANT SHAPE
I THINK IS A CIRCLE BECAUSE IT
SPIRALS IN A CIRCLE WAY.
Hamza says OK THEN. GET ANYTHING YOU
THINK MIGHT BE A SPIRAL. ON YOUR
MARK, GET SET, INVESTIGATE.
Han Ru and Stefano run into the house and say WE'RE ON IT.
Hamza says I WONDER WHAT THEY'LL FIND.
Stefano says A ROLL OF TAPE.
A ROLL OF TAPE.
ARE YOU SURE?
Han Ru says WELL, IT WAS...
TAPED AROUND.
Stefano says OH YEAH, I KNOW. THEY TOOK
ONE END OF THE TAPE AND THEY
KEPT ROLLING IT AND ROLLING IT
AND ROLLING IT SO IT KIND OF
GETS SPIRALLY.
Han Ru says AH!
They take a picture and the computer says SPIRAL IDENTIFIED.
Han Ru picks up a yoga mat and Stefano says THE NATION OF CARPETS.
Stefano points to a spiral place mat and says THEY MADE IT SPIRALLY.
Now, Stefano and Han Ru go into the kitchen and Stefano says OOH, STICKY BUNS!
I'VE GOT A CRAVING FOR ONE.
I'M GOING TO PRETEND
I'M EATING ONE. AH...
Han Ru takes a picture of Stefano pretending to eat a sticky bun.
Back in the studio, Hamza says HA! LOOKS LIKE THE MIND'S
EYE COMPUTER HAS SOMETHING
TO SHOW US.
The computer says SOME PEOPLE CALL THESE STICKY
BUNS SNAIL BUNS BECAUSE THEY
LOOK LIKE THE SPIRAL OF A SNAIL
SHELL. WHO WANTS TO EAT A
DELICIOUS SUGARY SNAIL?
Stefano picks up a plate and hands it to Han Ru.
Stefano says I FOUND ANOTHER ONE.
THESE RANDOM VEGETABLES
WHICH I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE.
The computer says THESE GREEN VEGETABLES ARE
CALLED FIDDLE HEADS. THEY'RE A
YOUNG FERN PLANT THAT HASN'T
UNROLLED ITS SPIRAL. THEY GOT
THEIR NAME BECAUSE THEY SHARE
THE SAME SHAPE AS THE TOP
OF THE INSTRUMENT: THE FIDDLE.
Outside Stefano says HEY, THIS HOSE!
The computer says COILING A HOSE OR A ROPE IN A
SPIRAL SHAPE IS AN EFFICIENT WAY
TO STORE THEM AS IT MINIMIZES
TANGLES. THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR FIREFIGHTERS. THEY
CAN QUICKLY UNRAVEL THEIR HOSES
SO THEY CAN BE READY TO PUMP OUT
WATER. SEE? MATH CAN SAVE LIVES.
A square tessellation puzzle appears on screen and a title reads "Brain Bender."
In the studio, Hamza says BRAIN BENDER.
ONE OF THESE SPIRAL PICTURES IS
JUST A SINGLE PIECE OF ROPE. THE
OTHER IS TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF
ROPE. CAN YOU TELL WHICH ONE IS
WHICH JUST BY USING YOUR EYES?
NOT SO EASY! HERE TO TRY IT OUT
ARE LEANNA AND SABRINA.
Leanna and Sabrina appear on the projection screen.
They both wave their hands in a spiral and say HI!
Hamza says THOSE TWO SPIRALS
LOOK ALIKE RIGHT?
They both say YES!
Hamza says CAN YOU TELL WHICH ONE IS A
SINGLE ROPE BY LOOKING AT IT?
They both say YES.
Hamza says IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH JUST
YOUR EYES, BUT GOOD LUCK!
Sabrina says BECAUSE LOOK... OVER HERE
AND OVER HERE... BUT THIS ONE...
Leanna says LOOKS LIKE THEY THINK THIS IS
THE ONE WITH ONLY ONE ROPE.
Sabrina says ... AND STOPS. SO IT'S
THIS ONE. WE THINK THIS ONE
IS ONE ROPE.
Hamza says SO TAKE OUT YOUR MARKERS
AND LET'S SEE.
Sabrina says OK.
Hamza says DID THEY GUESS RIGHT?
HMM, I'M NOT SURE.
Sabrina says YOU SEE, LIKE, THIS ONE...
Leanna says IT WOULD PROBABLY... NO.
OH, WE MADE A MISTAKE.
Sabrina says WE MADE A MISTAKE. SO THIS ONE
IS ONE ROPE BECAUSE IF WE START
HERE...
Leanna says IT WILL CONTINUE AND CONTINUE
AND CONTINUE.
Sabrina says AND THIS ONE IS TWO ROPES.
Leanna says IT STOPS.
Hamza says OK, SO YOUR FIRST GUESS
WASN'T RIGHT BUT YOU FIGURED
IT OUT, GOOD JOB!
They both say YAY!
Sabrina says THANK YOU! HIGH FIVE.
Back in the studio, Hamza says DID YOU SEE HOW TO SOLVE
TODAY'S BRAIN BENDER?
VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN TELL
JUST BY LOOKING. THAT'S
A GREAT SKILL IF YOU HAVE IT.
AND SPEAKING OF GREAT SKILL...
CHALLENGE!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Hamza appears on screen spinning in the middle of a park.
Hamza says WOOOO!!
I THINK MY FAVORITE PART
OF FIGURE SKATING IS THE
STUPENDOUS SPECTACULAR SUPER-
FAST SKATER SPINS. WHEN THEY
MOVE THEIR ARMS IN AND OUT,
THE SHAPE THEY MAKE IS A SPIRAL.
WOOHOO HOO HOO!
LET'S MEET TODAY'S CHALLENGERS.
Hamza runs over to the two members of both the yellow and blue teams.
Hamza says HI EVERYONE!
Both teams say HI HAMZA!
Hamza directs them running and says THIS WAY TO YOUR CHALLENGE!
THIS WAY!
ALL RIGHT, I'M HERE WITH HANNAH
AND WILLIAM: TEAM YELLOW, AND
CHELSEA AND DANIEL: TEAM BLUE.
SO ONE TEAM MEMBER IS GONNA WALK
THE PLANK, SIT IN THE CHAIR AND
GET SPUN BY THE OTHER TEAMMATE,
THEN WALK THE PLANK AGAIN
WITHOUT FALLING. IT'S NOT THAT
EASY WHEN YOU'RE DIZZY.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO!
William and Daniel walk the plank over to the chair.
Hamza says ALRIGHT, AND WALK THE PLANK.
IT'S EASY WHEN YOU'RE NOT DIZZY.
WE'RE GONNA START WITH OUR ARMS
OUT. SPIN! FIGURE SKATERS START
WITH THEIR ARMS OUT, THEN PULL
THEM IN TO GAIN SPEED. SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN! THAT'S WHAT OUR
CHALLENGERS ARE DOING.
ARMS IN TO GO FASTER!
WHOA! IT'S MAKING ME DIZZY JUST
LOOKING AT THEM! I'M GONNA GO UP
AND SEE WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
USING MY MIND'S EYEGLASSES.
As the challengers spin, Hamza runs up above and watches with his mind?s eyeglasses.
Daniel says OH! MY GOD!
The computer says ACTIVATING. A SPIRAL IS
A CURVE THAT COMES OUT FROM
A CENTRAL POINT. SOME SPIRALS
CURVE FURTHER AND FURTHER WITH
EVERY TURN, LIKE THE ARCHIMEDEAN
SPIRAL. THERE ARE MANY TYPES
OF TWO DIMENSIONAL SPIRALS.
THE HYPERBOLIC SPIRAL.
THE LOGARITHMIC SPIRAL.
THE EULER SPIRAL. FERMAT'S
SPIRAL. SPIRALS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
THEY MAKE MY HEAD SPIN JUST LIKE
OUR SPINNERS.
Hamza takes off his glasses.
Hamza says OH! OK TIME'S UP DID I FORGET
TO SAY THAT? YOU'RE GOING TO BE
SUPER DIZZY NOW! ALRIGHT ARMS
OUT TO SLOW DOWN... AND STOP!
ALL RIGHT, WALK THE PLANK!
Daniel and William try and walk the plank and stumble over.
William says OH GEE!
Hamza says INTO THE DROP ZONE YELLOW AND
BLUE INTO THE DROP ZONE AS WELL.
AND IT'S TIED ONE TO ONE. OK,
THE CHALLENGERS ARE STARTING TO
LOOK A LITTLE GREEN NOW. TAKE A
BREAK AND I'LL BE BACK TO WATCH
YOU GUYS TRY IT AGAIN AND WE'LL
SEE WHO WINS THE LOOK KOOL
SPIRAL CHALLENGE.
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Back in the studio, Hamza says INVESTIGATION.
HEY, SO WHAT SPIRALLY
THINGS HAVE YOU FOUND SO FAR?
LET ME SEE YOUR PICTURES.
The pictures appear on screen and Hamza says OH, THAT'S FUN!
Han Ru says YUP!
Stefano says THIS SLINK-THINGY.
Hamza says ARE YOU GUYS SURE
THIS IS A SPIRAL?
Han Ru says I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S A SPIRAL
BECAUSE, FROM UP HERE, AND IT'S
ALWAYS GOING DOWN IN A CIRCULAR
WAY AND THAT IS WHAT A SPIRAL IS
SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT KEEPS ON
GOING DOWN WITHOUT BREAKING.
Hamza says OH, RIGHT, THIS IS A SPECIAL
KIND OF 3D SPIRAL CALLED A
HELIX. HERE'S WHAT'S COOL ABOUT
A HELIX. IF YOU SLICE IT INTO A
BUNCH OF PIECES - HIYA! - EACH
CROSS SECTION WILL BE A CIRCLE
THE SAME SIZE. ALL THOSE HELICES
REMIND ME OF A SONG. CHECK OUT
THESE MUSICAL STYLINGS.
Now Hamza appears on screen wearing a large black curly wig and a black, white, and blue outfit. He dances on a stage at a concert and sings.
Hamza says DREW A SPIRAL SO SWELL
IN MATH CLASS DON'T TELL
IT WAS SO PRETTY
SO ROUND AND SPIRALLY
THEN GOT MY SCISSORS AND CUT
SPREAD IT OUT SAY WHAT?
I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THIS
BUT NOW MY SPIRAL STRETCHED OUT
NOW I'M NOT SO BORED.
MY SPIRAL'S LIKE A PHONE CORD
ROUND AND ROUND MY FINGERS WENT.
IT STARTED TALKING TO ME
HEY I JUST MET YOU, YOU KNOW
THE LYRICS I'M A SPECIAL SPIRAL
SO CALL ME HELIX.
(PHONE RING)
Still wearing the black curly wig, Hamza runs back to the studio to pick up the red phone.
Hamza says HELLO? MOM, I'M ON TV RIGHT NOW!
HUH. PHONE CHORDS... OH! BYE,
MOM. LOVE YOU. PHONE CHORDS AND
SLINKIES ARE HELICES BECAUSE
THEY'RE 3D OBJECTS THAT CAN WRAP
EVENLY AROUND A CYLINDER. LIKE
THIS. AH!! OW!!
Hamza tries to run a circular brush through his black curly wig.
Hamza says SPEAKING OF
THINGS THAT SPIN AROUND LET'S
CHECK BACK WITH OUR CHALLENGERS.
CHALLENGE!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Back on the field, Hamza says WE ARE BACK AT THE LOOK KOOL
SPIRAL CHALLENGE. ONE MEMBER
FROM EACH TEAM FELL INTO THE
DROP ZONE, SO GOING INTO ROUND
TWO, IT'S A TIE. WE'VE MADE THIS
ROUND A LOT HARDER BECAUSE THERE
ARE OBSTACLES ON THE PLANKS NOW.
SO YOU HAVE TO AVOID THE
OBSTACLES AND TRY NOT TO FALL
INTO THE DROP ZONE.
ARE YOU READY?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says WELL LET'S GO.
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says AND MAKE SURE TO AVOID
THE OBSTACLES ON THE PLANK.
WALK THE PLANK!
The other set of challengers walk the plank and then begins to spin on the chairs.
Hamza says ALL RIGHT, ARMS OUT TO BEGIN!
AND START ROUND TWO! SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN! AND BRING YOUR ARMS IN TO
GO FASTER! KEEP SPINNING, KEEP
SPINNING, KEEP SPINNING! SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN! WHOA! DIZZY! LET'S
GO! FASTER, TEAM YELLOW! FASTER,
TEAM YELLOW!
Team yellow says AAH!
Hamza says AND ARMS OUT TO SLOW DOWN.
AND STOP! WALK THE PLANK
AND AVOID THE DROP ZONE.
The teams begin to walk and Hamza says CAREFUL. OH, RICKETY,
RICKETY, RICKETY.
Team blue says OK.
Hamza says OH! TEAM BLUE MADE IT ACROSS
WITHOUT FALLING IN THE DROP
ZONE! LET'S SEE WITH TEAM
YELLOW... AND TEAM YELLOW MAKES
IT ACROSS! IT'S A TIE, WOO! ALL
RIGHT, THAT WAS AMAZING, WOW!
GREAT JOB, GUYS! YOU ALL GET
A PRIZE. HERE YOU GO.
YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE?
They all say NO.
Hamza says IT'S MY THUMB PRINT. MY SPIRAL
AUTOGRAPH. PRETTY COOL RIGHT?
The blue team says AH, SORT OF...
Hamza says OK. OK. YOU'LL THANK ME IN A
COUPLE OF YEARS. NOW, WHEN I
ASKED YOU GUYS TO MOVE YOUR ARMS
IN, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE
GOING FASTER?
The yellow team says YEAH, A BIT, YEAH.
Hamza says AWESOME. AND TEAM BLUE, WHEN
I ASKED YOU TO STICK YOUR ARMS
OUT, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
SLOWED DOWN?
The blue team says YEAH!
Hamza says ALL RIGHT NOW, ONE LAST
QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY: DO YOU
WANT TO GO FOR ANOTHER SPIN?
They all say NO! NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
Hamza says AH! ALL RIGHT! FASTER, FASTER,
FASTER! WOO! WOO!
Back in the studio, Kool Kat says MEOW!
Kool Kat?s eyes turn into spirals.
Hamza says WOAH...
DID YOU FIND SPIRALS, KOOL KAT?
WOAH...
ARE YOU TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE ME,
KOOL KAT? I THINK YOU'D
BETTER STOP, YOU'RE
HYPNOTIZING YOURSELF.
Kool Kat says MEOW!
Hamza says OH WELL!
Now a slate of Kool Kat sitting on animated grass appears on screen with a title that reads "Deconstruct." Kool Kat breaks apart into several tiny shapes and comes back together.
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT!
I WONDER WHAT IT IS ABOUT
SPIRALS THAT MAKE THEM SO...
CAPTIVATING. I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR A... DECONSTRUCT!
Hamza holds a white spiral shell and watches it transform into a floating hologram of a spiral.
Hamza says WHOA!
ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING
GOING ON WITH SPIRALS. SQUARES!
RECTANGLES? HMM... WHAT DO
SQUARES AND RECTANGLES HAVE
TO DO WITH SPIRALS?
LET'S DO A HANDS ON!
HANDS-ON!
Now a slate appears with Kool Kat holding up a piece of toast and a title that reads "Hands-On."
Hamza says ERIN LOVES MATH. SHE'S STUDYING
TO BECOME A MATH TEACHER. HER
DREAM JOB IS TO ONE DAY WORK AT
THE MUSEUM OF MATH IN NEW YORK
CITY. SHE CAN SHOW US
WHAT SQUARES AND RECTANGLES
HAVE TO DO WITH SPIRALS.
Now Erin stands on screen next to Stefano and Han Ru outside by a wooden table.
Erin says STEFANO CAN YOU GRAB THE
SMALLEST SQUARE OVER THERE?
Stefano says SMALLEST SQUARE.
Erin says YES SIR. WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS
SQUARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE ONE
THAT I'VE ALREADY GOT ON THE
TABLE. AND NOW, WE'RE GONNA MAKE
THE SQUARE SORT OF SPIRAL OUT.
SO YOU NEED TO FIND A SQUARE
THAT'S GONNA FIT NICELY
RIGHT HERE.
Stefano says HAN RU, DO YOU THINK THIS ONE
WOULD GO WELL?
Han Ru says YUP, I THINK IT WILL.
Erin says ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE. OH YEAH,
THAT FITS NICE. WHICH SQUARE
IS GONNA FIT THERE?
Stefano says THIS ONE. THERE WE GO.
Erin says DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS
CAN FINISH IT FROM HERE?
They both say YUP!
Stefano says YEAH. LET'S PUT THIS ONE. WOW!
WHAT A SPIRAL!
Han Ru says WHOA!
Erin says LOOK LIKE A SPIRAL TO YOU?
Stefano says NO, NOT AT ALL.
Erin says REALLY! WELL, I'M GONNA SHOW
YOU HOW WE CAN REVEAL THE SPIRAL
WITHIN. ARE YOU READY?
Stefano says OK.
Erin says I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE SIZE OF
THE SQUARES THAT WE'RE USING. SO
LET'S IMAGINE THAT THE LENGTH OF
THIS SQUARE IS 1, OK? 1 IS A
NICE SMALL NUMBER. WHAT WOULD
THAT MEAN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF
THE SQUARE NEXT TO IT?
Stefano says 1.
Erin says 1 AS WELL BECAUSE THEY LOOK
PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AND I
MEASURED THEM; THEY ARE.
Stefano says EXACTLY.
Erin says WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN ABOUT
THE LENGTH OF THIS SQUARE HERE?
Stefano says IT WOULD BE 2 BECAUSE IT'S
TWICE THE LENGTH OF THESE ONES,
AND 1 PLUS 1 IS 2.
Erin says VERY GOOD. NOW IF WERE
TO THINK ABOUT THIS SIDE LENGTH
HERE. HOW LONG DO WE THINK
IT IS?
Han Ru says THIS IS 3.
Erin says YEAH, GREAT! HAN RU CAN YOU
WRITE A 3 RIGHT THERE FOR ME?
AWESOME. WE'RE GONNA GO BIGGER
AND BIGGER.
Han Ru says WELL, 3 PLUS 2 IS 5 SO...
Erin says GREAT! WRITE A 5. AND HOW
ARE WE GONNA DECIDE HOW LONG
THAT ONE IS?
Stefano says 1, 2, 3, PLUS 5.
SO THAT WOULD BE...
Erin says 3 PLUS 5 IS? EIGHT.
Stefano says 8. SO THIS WOULD BE
A NICE BIG...
Erin says NICE AND BIG. SURE WHY NOT? SO
WITHOUT HAVING TO DO TOO MUCH
MEASURING WHAT CAN WE GUESS THIS
LAST ONE'S GOING TO BE?
Stefano says 5 PLUS 8 IS 13.
Erin says 5 PLUS 8 IS 13, VERY GOOD.
OH, AWESOME. SO THESE FORM A
SPECIAL SEQUENCE. THEY'RE CALLED
THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE.
TRY THAT WORD: FIBONACCI!
They both say FIBONACCI.
Erin says HE WAS AN ITALIAN DUDE,
SO HE'S GOT AN ITALIAN NAME!
I'VE GOT THE NUMBERS HERE. IF WE
WANTED TO KEEP GOING IN THIS
SEQUENCE, WE WOULD JUST KEEP
ADDING THESE TWO NUMBERS
TOGETHER AND OUR SQUARE WOULD
GET BIGGER AND BIGGER.
Stefano says EXACTLY, 'CAUSE THE NUMBERS
NEVER STOP.
Erin says EXACTLY. ARE YOU READY TO SEE
THE SPIRAL?
They both say YUP!
Erin says ALRIGHT FIRST, WE'VE GOT
TO ERASE THESE NUMBERS.
NOW, LUCKILY, THE MAGIC
MARKER WE USED WAS CHALK.
MAKE IT AS ROUND AS WE CAN.
Erin starts to draw.
Han Ru says THE DEMI CIRCLE?
Erin says YEAH... YEAH AND THE TRICKY
PART IS TO TRY AND GET IT
AS ROUND AS YOU CAN.
IS THAT A SPIRAL?
Stefano says OH YEAH, IT'S A SPIRAL.
Han Ru says I'D SAY SO.
Erin says THIS SPIRAL'S ACTUALLY QUITE
SPECIAL. IT'S A SPIRAL THAT WE
SEE QUITE A BIT IN STUFF THAT
HAPPENS IN NATURE. ALL RIGHT?
I'VE GOT A REALLY COOL EXAMPLE
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU. SO I'VE
DRAWN A MINI VERSION OF THAT
SPIRAL AND WHAT I'M GONNA DO...
HAN RU, CAN I GET YOU TO HOLD
THAT UP TO STEFANO'S EAR, THERE?
IT LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS EAR.
Han Ru says DA DA DA DA!
Erin says ALRIGHT. SO THE EAR IS ONE
PLACE WHERE WE SEE THIS SHAPE.
SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF
PICTURES HERE. THAT IS A
HURRICANE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
THE SHAPE OF THAT HURRICANE,
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME
SPIRAL THAT WE JUST DREW.
Stefano says HEY!
Erin says IT EVEN PUT THE BOXES IN AND
EVERYTHING SO THAT WE CAN SEE.
Stefano says OH YEAH!
Erin says THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED A
NAUTILUS SHELL, NOW NAUTILUS IS,
NOT QUITE A SNAIL BUT IT DOES
LIVE IN A SHELL THAT LOOKS A LOT
LIKE A SNAIL SHELL. DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT IS?
Han Ru says NOPE!
Erin says THAT'S OUR HOME. DON'T YOU
RECOGNIZE IT? THAT IS THE MILKY
WAY GALAXY AND WE LIVE LIKE WAY
OUT SOMEWHERE OVER THERE. WE'RE
REALLY, REALLY TINY. SO IT'S A
REALLY, REALLY MAGICAL AND
SPECIAL SPIRAL. IT'S SO GOOD
THAT THE STARS HAVE CHOSEN IT
FOR THEIR PATTERN. WHICH IS
PRETTY COOL.
Back in the studio, Hamza says THAT IS COOL.
Stefano says UM, YEAH, PRETTY MUCH BECAUSE
YOU COULD FIND THEM, LIKE, IN
THE LEAST EXPECTED PLACES.
FOR EXAMPLE, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THERE WAS A SPIRAL IN MY EAR.
Han Ru says YEAH AND ALSO, LIKE, A
HURRICANE IS ALSO LIKE A SPIRAL,
THE WAY IT'S SPIRALING LIKE...
Stefano says EXACTLY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE
EYE OF THE HURRICANE AND THEN,
IT JUST GOES AROUND AND AROUND.
Han Ru says YEAH, A SPIRAL!
Back in the studio, Hamza says THANKS INVESTIGATORS!
They all say BYE!
Now Hamza runs back to his chair in his studio and says WE INTERRUPT THIS EPISODE
OF LOOK KOOL AS WE'VE JUST
LOCKED AN INTERVIEW WITH...
A WHAT? A REBELLIOUS SNAIL!?
The door opens and Rebellious Snail comes in and sits down.
Rebellious Snail says A REBELLIOUS SNAIL?
YEAH, WHATEVER!
Rebellious Snail sits down.
Hamza says HELLO! SO, REBELLIOUS SNAIL,
I SEE YOU HAVE A RECTANGLE SHELL
INSTEAD OF A SNAIL'S USUAL
SPIRAL SHELL?
Rebellious Snail says YEAH! OBVIOUSLY!
EVERY OTHER SNAIL
HAS A SPIRAL SHELL. BORING!
Hamza says SO, UM, WHY ARE YOU
HERE TODAY?
Rebellious Snail says I JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYONE
THAT I'VE HAD IT WITH SPIRALS.
I'M STICKING WITH MY RECTANGLE
SHELL AND THAT'S THAT. I JUST
WANT TO BE DIFFERENT.
Stefano says OH! OK, BUT I THOUGHT
RECTANGLES AND SPIRALS
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.
Rebellious Snail says WHAT?
Hamza says SURE. THERE'S A CERTAIN TYPE
OF SPIRAL THAT'S CREATED USING
RECTANGLES SO, BASICALLY, YOU'RE
NOT THAT DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE.
Rebellious Snail says WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEAN?
Hamza says THE SPIRAL IS THE KEY TO THE
RECTANGLE. THE SPIRAL PASSES
THROUGH EACH OF THE SQUARES
DIAGONALLY AND THEN YOU END UP
WITH THIS ADORABLE
LITTLE SPIRAL.
Rebellious Snail says YEAH, OK, I GUESS!
Hamza says RIGHT.
Rebellious Snail says I GUESS IT IS PRETTY ADORABLE.
LET ME TAKE A 'SHELFIE!'
Later Hamza looks at himself in a mirror wearing a curly black moustache.
Hamza says I LOOK 'FIBMAZING'. I LOOK
'FIBULOUS'. WELL, I JUST REALLY
LOVE THAT WORD. FIBONACCI AND
SPIRALS. THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT
'FIBMAZING' WOULD BE MY NEW WORD
WHEN I'M SPORTING THE PERFECT
FIBONACCI SPIRAL ON MY FACE.
HEY, KOOL KAT! KOOL KAT!
DO YOU LIKE MY MUSTACHE?
DO YOU THINK IT'S REAL?
YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT IS A FIB MUSTACHE.
GET IT? FIB?
Kool Kat looks at him and says MEOW!
Hamza says KOOL KAT JUST DOESN'T
GET PUNS. AH!
MAMMA MIA!
OH WELL!
The animation with the two aliens appears on screen as they pull in the moustache through their beam.
One alien says OOH!
One alien?s eyes spiral and he says SPIRAL!
The other alien?s mouth spirals and says SO HYP-NO-TIZING.
AWWWW.
The other alien says NOW, CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Back in the studio, Hamza says SPIRALS ARE REALLY NICE TO
LOOK AT. AREN'T THEY? FOR
CENTURIES ARTISTS AND ENGINEERS
HAVE LOVED THEM TOO. YOU'LL FIND
SPIRALS IN STAIRCASES,
DECORATIONS, BUILDINGS AND
ROADS. SPIRALS ARE EVERYWHERE
IN NATURE: PLANTS, ANIMALS,
THE SKY, EVEN OURSELVES.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY
HYPNOTIZE US WITH THEIR BEAUTY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
The credits roll.

Rebellious Snail says REBELLIOUS SNAIL?
YEAH, WHATEVER!
Hamza says ARE YOU GETTING SLEEPY?
WELL WAKE UP. THERE'S
A SPIRAL INVASION.
An animation of aliens flying through a spiraling galaxy appears on screen.
The aliens say LOOK.
Hamza says SPIRALS ARE EVERYWHERE.
The aliens say SPIRALLY.
Hamza continues TO FIND OUT WHY WE'LL MEET
A REBELLIOUS SNAIL.
In Hamza?s studio, Rebellious Snail walks in through the guest door wearing a blue wig, two antennae, and a black leather jacket and says REBELLIOUS SNAIL?
YEAH, WHATEVER!
Hamza says AND A SPIRAL IMPOSTER.
WE'LL SHAKE OUT OUR CRAZY HAIR.
Hamza appears on screen wearing a large black curly wig and a black, blue, white, and red rocker?s outfit.
Hamza speaks into the microphone and says WHAT?
A kid from the yellow team falls and Hamza says AND SPIN 'TIL WE'RE DIZZY.
The kid falls and says AH!
Hamza says ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TODAY
ON LOOK.
The green alien from the spaceship appears on screen with his mouth spiraling.
The alien says CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Hamza says KOOL!
(THEME MUSIC)
The opening sequence appears on screen.
Hamza spins in a circle while standing in front of a cityscape in the background and puts on black sunglasses. He turns around and looks at the city behind him that transforms into colourful 3-D geometric shapes that fall onto the green grass and start to grow back into a new animated city. All the shapes unfold and the colourful geometric-shaped title rises and unfolds into the sky.
The title reads "Look Kool."
Kool Kat says MEOW!
The opening sequence ends.
The scene opens in Hamza?s studio. Hamza is colouring in a black and white spiral.
Hamza says ... IN THERE, A LITTLE
MORE COLOR IN THE LINES...
STAY IN THE LINES.
AND WE'RE GOOD.
HELLO AND WELCOME
TO HAMZA THE MYSTERIOUS'S
AMAZING TRAVELING
HYPNOSIS SHOW.
Hamza begins to twirl his spiral.
Hamza says YOU ARE GETTING SLEEPY.
KEEP LOOKING INTO MY SPIRAL.
I MEAN MY AMAZING
HYPNOSIS DEVICE.
OK, MAYBE I'M NO HYPNOTIST BUT
AREN'T SPIRALS THE COOLEST?
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF SPIRALS.
SPIRALS THAT CURVE IN. SPIRALS
THAT CURVE OUT AND SPIRALS THAT
KEEP CURVING OUT FURTHER AND
FURTHER. SPIRALS ARE ALL AROUND
US. I MEAN, DID YOU KNOW THAT WE
LIVE IN A SPIRAL?
KEEP GOING!
The angle zooms out of the studio and goes out into space and Hamza says NO, NO, EVEN FURTHER!
NOPE! KEEP GOING!
THERE WE GO!
THE MILKY WAY GALAXY
WHERE WE LIVE
IS ALSO A SPIRAL.
The Milky Way galaxy appears on screen.
An animation of two aliens in a spaceship appears on screen and one alien says LOOK. SPIRALLY!
The other alien says OOH! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
The alien guides the spaceship in a circle and says SO HYP-NO-TIZING?
The other alien says HYP-NO-TIZING!
AWWWW...
The ship spins and the alien says NOW, CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Hamza says INVESTIGATION.
Back in the studio, Hamza speaks to Han Ru and Stefano on the projection screen.
Stefano and Han Ru appear on screen standing outside of a house. Han Ru has shoulder-length, middle-parted, wavy black hair and Stefano has short, dark brown, feathery hair. They both wear white T-shirts with an eye in the middle with four arrows that point around it.
Hamza says HI INVESTIGATORS.
They both say HEY HAMZA.
Hamza says YOUR INVESTIGATION TODAY
IS TO FIND AS MANY SPIRALS
AS YOU CAN. NOW CAN YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE?
They both say UM?
Stefano says YES. I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING ROUND OR
SOMETHING THAT SPIRALS IN...
Han Ru says YEAH. THE MOST IMPORTANT SHAPE
I THINK IS A CIRCLE BECAUSE IT
SPIRALS IN A CIRCLE WAY.
Hamza says OK THEN. GET ANYTHING YOU
THINK MIGHT BE A SPIRAL. ON YOUR
MARK, GET SET, INVESTIGATE.
Han Ru and Stefano run into the house and say WE'RE ON IT.
Hamza says I WONDER WHAT THEY'LL FIND.
Stefano says A ROLL OF TAPE.
A ROLL OF TAPE.
ARE YOU SURE?
Han Ru says WELL, IT WAS...
TAPED AROUND.
Stefano says OH YEAH, I KNOW. THEY TOOK
ONE END OF THE TAPE AND THEY
KEPT ROLLING IT AND ROLLING IT
AND ROLLING IT SO IT KIND OF
GETS SPIRALLY.
Han Ru says AH!
They take a picture and the computer says SPIRAL IDENTIFIED.
Han Ru picks up a yoga mat and Stefano says THE NATION OF CARPETS.
Stefano points to a spiral place mat and says THEY MADE IT SPIRALLY.
Now, Stefano and Han Ru go into the kitchen and Stefano says OOH, STICKY BUNS!
I'VE GOT A CRAVING FOR ONE.
I'M GOING TO PRETEND
I'M EATING ONE. AH...
Han Ru takes a picture of Stefano pretending to eat a sticky bun.
Back in the studio, Hamza says HA! LOOKS LIKE THE MIND'S
EYE COMPUTER HAS SOMETHING
TO SHOW US.
The computer says SOME PEOPLE CALL THESE STICKY
BUNS SNAIL BUNS BECAUSE THEY
LOOK LIKE THE SPIRAL OF A SNAIL
SHELL. WHO WANTS TO EAT A
DELICIOUS SUGARY SNAIL?
Stefano picks up a plate and hands it to Han Ru.
Stefano says I FOUND ANOTHER ONE.
THESE RANDOM VEGETABLES
WHICH I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE.
The computer says THESE GREEN VEGETABLES ARE
CALLED FIDDLE HEADS. THEY'RE A
YOUNG FERN PLANT THAT HASN'T
UNROLLED ITS SPIRAL. THEY GOT
THEIR NAME BECAUSE THEY SHARE
THE SAME SHAPE AS THE TOP
OF THE INSTRUMENT: THE FIDDLE.
Outside Stefano says HEY, THIS HOSE!
The computer says COILING A HOSE OR A ROPE IN A
SPIRAL SHAPE IS AN EFFICIENT WAY
TO STORE THEM AS IT MINIMIZES
TANGLES. THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR FIREFIGHTERS. THEY
CAN QUICKLY UNRAVEL THEIR HOSES
SO THEY CAN BE READY TO PUMP OUT
WATER. SEE? MATH CAN SAVE LIVES.
A square tessellation puzzle appears on screen and a title reads "Brain Bender."
In the studio, Hamza says BRAIN BENDER.
ONE OF THESE SPIRAL PICTURES IS
JUST A SINGLE PIECE OF ROPE. THE
OTHER IS TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF
ROPE. CAN YOU TELL WHICH ONE IS
WHICH JUST BY USING YOUR EYES?
NOT SO EASY! HERE TO TRY IT OUT
ARE LEANNA AND SABRINA.
Leanna and Sabrina appear on the projection screen.
They both wave their hands in a spiral and say HI!
Hamza says THOSE TWO SPIRALS
LOOK ALIKE RIGHT?
They both say YES!
Hamza says CAN YOU TELL WHICH ONE IS A
SINGLE ROPE BY LOOKING AT IT?
They both say YES.
Hamza says IT'S HARD TO TELL WITH JUST
YOUR EYES, BUT GOOD LUCK!
Sabrina says BECAUSE LOOK... OVER HERE
AND OVER HERE... BUT THIS ONE...
Leanna says LOOKS LIKE THEY THINK THIS IS
THE ONE WITH ONLY ONE ROPE.
Sabrina says ... AND STOPS. SO IT'S
THIS ONE. WE THINK THIS ONE
IS ONE ROPE.
Hamza says SO TAKE OUT YOUR MARKERS
AND LET'S SEE.
Sabrina says OK.
Hamza says DID THEY GUESS RIGHT?
HMM, I'M NOT SURE.
Sabrina says YOU SEE, LIKE, THIS ONE...
Leanna says IT WOULD PROBABLY... NO.
OH, WE MADE A MISTAKE.
Sabrina says WE MADE A MISTAKE. SO THIS ONE
IS ONE ROPE BECAUSE IF WE START
HERE...
Leanna says IT WILL CONTINUE AND CONTINUE
AND CONTINUE.
Sabrina says AND THIS ONE IS TWO ROPES.
Leanna says IT STOPS.
Hamza says OK, SO YOUR FIRST GUESS
WASN'T RIGHT BUT YOU FIGURED
IT OUT, GOOD JOB!
They both say YAY!
Sabrina says THANK YOU! HIGH FIVE.
Back in the studio, Hamza says DID YOU SEE HOW TO SOLVE
TODAY'S BRAIN BENDER?
VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN TELL
JUST BY LOOKING. THAT'S
A GREAT SKILL IF YOU HAVE IT.
AND SPEAKING OF GREAT SKILL...
CHALLENGE!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Hamza appears on screen spinning in the middle of a park.
Hamza says WOOOO!!
I THINK MY FAVORITE PART
OF FIGURE SKATING IS THE
STUPENDOUS SPECTACULAR SUPER-
FAST SKATER SPINS. WHEN THEY
MOVE THEIR ARMS IN AND OUT,
THE SHAPE THEY MAKE IS A SPIRAL.
WOOHOO HOO HOO!
LET'S MEET TODAY'S CHALLENGERS.
Hamza runs over to the two members of both the yellow and blue teams.
Hamza says HI EVERYONE!
Both teams say HI HAMZA!
Hamza directs them running and says THIS WAY TO YOUR CHALLENGE!
THIS WAY!
ALL RIGHT, I'M HERE WITH HANNAH
AND WILLIAM: TEAM YELLOW, AND
CHELSEA AND DANIEL: TEAM BLUE.
SO ONE TEAM MEMBER IS GONNA WALK
THE PLANK, SIT IN THE CHAIR AND
GET SPUN BY THE OTHER TEAMMATE,
THEN WALK THE PLANK AGAIN
WITHOUT FALLING. IT'S NOT THAT
EASY WHEN YOU'RE DIZZY.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO!
William and Daniel walk the plank over to the chair.
Hamza says ALRIGHT, AND WALK THE PLANK.
IT'S EASY WHEN YOU'RE NOT DIZZY.
WE'RE GONNA START WITH OUR ARMS
OUT. SPIN! FIGURE SKATERS START
WITH THEIR ARMS OUT, THEN PULL
THEM IN TO GAIN SPEED. SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN! THAT'S WHAT OUR
CHALLENGERS ARE DOING.
ARMS IN TO GO FASTER!
WHOA! IT'S MAKING ME DIZZY JUST
LOOKING AT THEM! I'M GONNA GO UP
AND SEE WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
USING MY MIND'S EYEGLASSES.
As the challengers spin, Hamza runs up above and watches with his mind?s eyeglasses.
Daniel says OH! MY GOD!
The computer says ACTIVATING. A SPIRAL IS
A CURVE THAT COMES OUT FROM
A CENTRAL POINT. SOME SPIRALS
CURVE FURTHER AND FURTHER WITH
EVERY TURN, LIKE THE ARCHIMEDEAN
SPIRAL. THERE ARE MANY TYPES
OF TWO DIMENSIONAL SPIRALS.
THE HYPERBOLIC SPIRAL.
THE LOGARITHMIC SPIRAL.
THE EULER SPIRAL. FERMAT'S
SPIRAL. SPIRALS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
THEY MAKE MY HEAD SPIN JUST LIKE
OUR SPINNERS.
Hamza takes off his glasses.
Hamza says OH! OK TIME'S UP DID I FORGET
TO SAY THAT? YOU'RE GOING TO BE
SUPER DIZZY NOW! ALRIGHT ARMS
OUT TO SLOW DOWN... AND STOP!
ALL RIGHT, WALK THE PLANK!
Daniel and William try and walk the plank and stumble over.
William says OH GEE!
Hamza says INTO THE DROP ZONE YELLOW AND
BLUE INTO THE DROP ZONE AS WELL.
AND IT'S TIED ONE TO ONE. OK,
THE CHALLENGERS ARE STARTING TO
LOOK A LITTLE GREEN NOW. TAKE A
BREAK AND I'LL BE BACK TO WATCH
YOU GUYS TRY IT AGAIN AND WE'LL
SEE WHO WINS THE LOOK KOOL
SPIRAL CHALLENGE.
Now Kool Kat appears on screen and looks through a magnifying glass at a title that reads "Investigation."
Back in the studio, Hamza says INVESTIGATION.
HEY, SO WHAT SPIRALLY
THINGS HAVE YOU FOUND SO FAR?
LET ME SEE YOUR PICTURES.
The pictures appear on screen and Hamza says OH, THAT'S FUN!
Han Ru says YUP!
Stefano says THIS SLINK-THINGY.
Hamza says ARE YOU GUYS SURE
THIS IS A SPIRAL?
Han Ru says I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S A SPIRAL
BECAUSE, FROM UP HERE, AND IT'S
ALWAYS GOING DOWN IN A CIRCULAR
WAY AND THAT IS WHAT A SPIRAL IS
SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT KEEPS ON
GOING DOWN WITHOUT BREAKING.
Hamza says OH, RIGHT, THIS IS A SPECIAL
KIND OF 3D SPIRAL CALLED A
HELIX. HERE'S WHAT'S COOL ABOUT
A HELIX. IF YOU SLICE IT INTO A
BUNCH OF PIECES - HIYA! - EACH
CROSS SECTION WILL BE A CIRCLE
THE SAME SIZE. ALL THOSE HELICES
REMIND ME OF A SONG. CHECK OUT
THESE MUSICAL STYLINGS.
Now Hamza appears on screen wearing a large black curly wig and a black, white, and blue outfit. He dances on a stage at a concert and sings.
Hamza says DREW A SPIRAL SO SWELL
IN MATH CLASS DON'T TELL
IT WAS SO PRETTY
SO ROUND AND SPIRALLY
THEN GOT MY SCISSORS AND CUT
SPREAD IT OUT SAY WHAT?
I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THIS
BUT NOW MY SPIRAL STRETCHED OUT
NOW I'M NOT SO BORED.
MY SPIRAL'S LIKE A PHONE CORD
ROUND AND ROUND MY FINGERS WENT.
IT STARTED TALKING TO ME
HEY I JUST MET YOU, YOU KNOW
THE LYRICS I'M A SPECIAL SPIRAL
SO CALL ME HELIX.
(PHONE RING)
Still wearing the black curly wig, Hamza runs back to the studio to pick up the red phone.
Hamza says HELLO? MOM, I'M ON TV RIGHT NOW!
HUH. PHONE CHORDS... OH! BYE,
MOM. LOVE YOU. PHONE CHORDS AND
SLINKIES ARE HELICES BECAUSE
THEY'RE 3D OBJECTS THAT CAN WRAP
EVENLY AROUND A CYLINDER. LIKE
THIS. AH!! OW!!
Hamza tries to run a circular brush through his black curly wig.
Hamza says SPEAKING OF
THINGS THAT SPIN AROUND LET'S
CHECK BACK WITH OUR CHALLENGERS.
CHALLENGE!
Kool Kat and gold Kat appears roll up on their red wheels on a road and hit the finish line that reads "Challenge."
Back on the field, Hamza says WE ARE BACK AT THE LOOK KOOL
SPIRAL CHALLENGE. ONE MEMBER
FROM EACH TEAM FELL INTO THE
DROP ZONE, SO GOING INTO ROUND
TWO, IT'S A TIE. WE'VE MADE THIS
ROUND A LOT HARDER BECAUSE THERE
ARE OBSTACLES ON THE PLANKS NOW.
SO YOU HAVE TO AVOID THE
OBSTACLES AND TRY NOT TO FALL
INTO THE DROP ZONE.
ARE YOU READY?
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says WELL LET'S GO.
They all say YEAH!
Hamza says AND MAKE SURE TO AVOID
THE OBSTACLES ON THE PLANK.
WALK THE PLANK!
The other set of challengers walk the plank and then begins to spin on the chairs.
Hamza says ALL RIGHT, ARMS OUT TO BEGIN!
AND START ROUND TWO! SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN! AND BRING YOUR ARMS IN TO
GO FASTER! KEEP SPINNING, KEEP
SPINNING, KEEP SPINNING! SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN,
SPIN, SPIN! WHOA! DIZZY! LET'S
GO! FASTER, TEAM YELLOW! FASTER,
TEAM YELLOW!
Team yellow says AAH!
Hamza says AND ARMS OUT TO SLOW DOWN.
AND STOP! WALK THE PLANK
AND AVOID THE DROP ZONE.
The teams begin to walk and Hamza says CAREFUL. OH, RICKETY,
RICKETY, RICKETY.
Team blue says OK.
Hamza says OH! TEAM BLUE MADE IT ACROSS
WITHOUT FALLING IN THE DROP
ZONE! LET'S SEE WITH TEAM
YELLOW... AND TEAM YELLOW MAKES
IT ACROSS! IT'S A TIE, WOO! ALL
RIGHT, THAT WAS AMAZING, WOW!
GREAT JOB, GUYS! YOU ALL GET
A PRIZE. HERE YOU GO.
YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE?
They all say NO.
Hamza says IT'S MY THUMB PRINT. MY SPIRAL
AUTOGRAPH. PRETTY COOL RIGHT?
The blue team says AH, SORT OF...
Hamza says OK. OK. YOU'LL THANK ME IN A
COUPLE OF YEARS. NOW, WHEN I
ASKED YOU GUYS TO MOVE YOUR ARMS
IN, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE
GOING FASTER?
The yellow team says YEAH, A BIT, YEAH.
Hamza says AWESOME. AND TEAM BLUE, WHEN
I ASKED YOU TO STICK YOUR ARMS
OUT, DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
SLOWED DOWN?
The blue team says YEAH!
Hamza says ALL RIGHT NOW, ONE LAST
QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY: DO YOU
WANT TO GO FOR ANOTHER SPIN?
They all say NO! NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
Hamza says AH! ALL RIGHT! FASTER, FASTER,
FASTER! WOO! WOO!
Back in the studio, Kool Kat says MEOW!
Kool Kat?s eyes turn into spirals.
Hamza says WOAH...
DID YOU FIND SPIRALS, KOOL KAT?
WOAH...
ARE YOU TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE ME,
KOOL KAT? I THINK YOU'D
BETTER STOP, YOU'RE
HYPNOTIZING YOURSELF.
Kool Kat says MEOW!
Hamza says OH WELL!
Now a slate of Kool Kat sitting on animated grass appears on screen with a title that reads "Deconstruct." Kool Kat breaks apart into several tiny shapes and comes back together.
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT!
I WONDER WHAT IT IS ABOUT
SPIRALS THAT MAKE THEM SO...
CAPTIVATING. I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR A... DECONSTRUCT!
Hamza holds a white spiral shell and watches it transform into a floating hologram of a spiral.
Hamza says WHOA!
ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M SEEING?
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING
GOING ON WITH SPIRALS. SQUARES!
RECTANGLES? HMM... WHAT DO
SQUARES AND RECTANGLES HAVE
TO DO WITH SPIRALS?
LET'S DO A HANDS ON!
HANDS-ON!
Now a slate appears with Kool Kat holding up a piece of toast and a title that reads "Hands-On."
Hamza says ERIN LOVES MATH. SHE'S STUDYING
TO BECOME A MATH TEACHER. HER
DREAM JOB IS TO ONE DAY WORK AT
THE MUSEUM OF MATH IN NEW YORK
CITY. SHE CAN SHOW US
WHAT SQUARES AND RECTANGLES
HAVE TO DO WITH SPIRALS.
Now Erin stands on screen next to Stefano and Han Ru outside by a wooden table.
Erin says STEFANO CAN YOU GRAB THE
SMALLEST SQUARE OVER THERE?
Stefano says SMALLEST SQUARE.
Erin says YES SIR. WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS
SQUARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE ONE
THAT I'VE ALREADY GOT ON THE
TABLE. AND NOW, WE'RE GONNA MAKE
THE SQUARE SORT OF SPIRAL OUT.
SO YOU NEED TO FIND A SQUARE
THAT'S GONNA FIT NICELY
RIGHT HERE.
Stefano says HAN RU, DO YOU THINK THIS ONE
WOULD GO WELL?
Han Ru says YUP, I THINK IT WILL.
Erin says ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE. OH YEAH,
THAT FITS NICE. WHICH SQUARE
IS GONNA FIT THERE?
Stefano says THIS ONE. THERE WE GO.
Erin says DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS
CAN FINISH IT FROM HERE?
They both say YUP!
Stefano says YEAH. LET'S PUT THIS ONE. WOW!
WHAT A SPIRAL!
Han Ru says WHOA!
Erin says LOOK LIKE A SPIRAL TO YOU?
Stefano says NO, NOT AT ALL.
Erin says REALLY! WELL, I'M GONNA SHOW
YOU HOW WE CAN REVEAL THE SPIRAL
WITHIN. ARE YOU READY?
Stefano says OK.
Erin says I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE SIZE OF
THE SQUARES THAT WE'RE USING. SO
LET'S IMAGINE THAT THE LENGTH OF
THIS SQUARE IS 1, OK? 1 IS A
NICE SMALL NUMBER. WHAT WOULD
THAT MEAN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF
THE SQUARE NEXT TO IT?
Stefano says 1.
Erin says 1 AS WELL BECAUSE THEY LOOK
PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AND I
MEASURED THEM; THEY ARE.
Stefano says EXACTLY.
Erin says WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN ABOUT
THE LENGTH OF THIS SQUARE HERE?
Stefano says IT WOULD BE 2 BECAUSE IT'S
TWICE THE LENGTH OF THESE ONES,
AND 1 PLUS 1 IS 2.
Erin says VERY GOOD. NOW IF WERE
TO THINK ABOUT THIS SIDE LENGTH
HERE. HOW LONG DO WE THINK
IT IS?
Han Ru says THIS IS 3.
Erin says YEAH, GREAT! HAN RU CAN YOU
WRITE A 3 RIGHT THERE FOR ME?
AWESOME. WE'RE GONNA GO BIGGER
AND BIGGER.
Han Ru says WELL, 3 PLUS 2 IS 5 SO...
Erin says GREAT! WRITE A 5. AND HOW
ARE WE GONNA DECIDE HOW LONG
THAT ONE IS?
Stefano says 1, 2, 3, PLUS 5.
SO THAT WOULD BE...
Erin says 3 PLUS 5 IS? EIGHT.
Stefano says 8. SO THIS WOULD BE
A NICE BIG...
Erin says NICE AND BIG. SURE WHY NOT? SO
WITHOUT HAVING TO DO TOO MUCH
MEASURING WHAT CAN WE GUESS THIS
LAST ONE'S GOING TO BE?
Stefano says 5 PLUS 8 IS 13.
Erin says 5 PLUS 8 IS 13, VERY GOOD.
OH, AWESOME. SO THESE FORM A
SPECIAL SEQUENCE. THEY'RE CALLED
THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE.
TRY THAT WORD: FIBONACCI!
They both say FIBONACCI.
Erin says HE WAS AN ITALIAN DUDE,
SO HE'S GOT AN ITALIAN NAME!
I'VE GOT THE NUMBERS HERE. IF WE
WANTED TO KEEP GOING IN THIS
SEQUENCE, WE WOULD JUST KEEP
ADDING THESE TWO NUMBERS
TOGETHER AND OUR SQUARE WOULD
GET BIGGER AND BIGGER.
Stefano says EXACTLY, 'CAUSE THE NUMBERS
NEVER STOP.
Erin says EXACTLY. ARE YOU READY TO SEE
THE SPIRAL?
They both say YUP!
Erin says ALRIGHT FIRST, WE'VE GOT
TO ERASE THESE NUMBERS.
NOW, LUCKILY, THE MAGIC
MARKER WE USED WAS CHALK.
MAKE IT AS ROUND AS WE CAN.
Erin starts to draw.
Han Ru says THE DEMI CIRCLE?
Erin says YEAH... YEAH AND THE TRICKY
PART IS TO TRY AND GET IT
AS ROUND AS YOU CAN.
IS THAT A SPIRAL?
Stefano says OH YEAH, IT'S A SPIRAL.
Han Ru says I'D SAY SO.
Erin says THIS SPIRAL'S ACTUALLY QUITE
SPECIAL. IT'S A SPIRAL THAT WE
SEE QUITE A BIT IN STUFF THAT
HAPPENS IN NATURE. ALL RIGHT?
I'VE GOT A REALLY COOL EXAMPLE
RIGHT HERE FOR YOU. SO I'VE
DRAWN A MINI VERSION OF THAT
SPIRAL AND WHAT I'M GONNA DO...
HAN RU, CAN I GET YOU TO HOLD
THAT UP TO STEFANO'S EAR, THERE?
IT LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS EAR.
Han Ru says DA DA DA DA!
Erin says ALRIGHT. SO THE EAR IS ONE
PLACE WHERE WE SEE THIS SHAPE.
SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF
PICTURES HERE. THAT IS A
HURRICANE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
THE SHAPE OF THAT HURRICANE,
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME
SPIRAL THAT WE JUST DREW.
Stefano says HEY!
Erin says IT EVEN PUT THE BOXES IN AND
EVERYTHING SO THAT WE CAN SEE.
Stefano says OH YEAH!
Erin says THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED A
NAUTILUS SHELL, NOW NAUTILUS IS,
NOT QUITE A SNAIL BUT IT DOES
LIVE IN A SHELL THAT LOOKS A LOT
LIKE A SNAIL SHELL. DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT IS?
Han Ru says NOPE!
Erin says THAT'S OUR HOME. DON'T YOU
RECOGNIZE IT? THAT IS THE MILKY
WAY GALAXY AND WE LIVE LIKE WAY
OUT SOMEWHERE OVER THERE. WE'RE
REALLY, REALLY TINY. SO IT'S A
REALLY, REALLY MAGICAL AND
SPECIAL SPIRAL. IT'S SO GOOD
THAT THE STARS HAVE CHOSEN IT
FOR THEIR PATTERN. WHICH IS
PRETTY COOL.
Back in the studio, Hamza says THAT IS COOL.
Stefano says UM, YEAH, PRETTY MUCH BECAUSE
YOU COULD FIND THEM, LIKE, IN
THE LEAST EXPECTED PLACES.
FOR EXAMPLE, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THERE WAS A SPIRAL IN MY EAR.
Han Ru says YEAH AND ALSO, LIKE, A
HURRICANE IS ALSO LIKE A SPIRAL,
THE WAY IT'S SPIRALING LIKE...
Stefano says EXACTLY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE
EYE OF THE HURRICANE AND THEN,
IT JUST GOES AROUND AND AROUND.
Han Ru says YEAH, A SPIRAL!
Back in the studio, Hamza says THANKS INVESTIGATORS!
They all say BYE!
Now Hamza runs back to his chair in his studio and says WE INTERRUPT THIS EPISODE
OF LOOK KOOL AS WE'VE JUST
LOCKED AN INTERVIEW WITH...
A WHAT? A REBELLIOUS SNAIL!?
The door opens and Rebellious Snail comes in and sits down.
Rebellious Snail says A REBELLIOUS SNAIL?
YEAH, WHATEVER!
Rebellious Snail sits down.
Hamza says HELLO! SO, REBELLIOUS SNAIL,
I SEE YOU HAVE A RECTANGLE SHELL
INSTEAD OF A SNAIL'S USUAL
SPIRAL SHELL?
Rebellious Snail says YEAH! OBVIOUSLY!
EVERY OTHER SNAIL
HAS A SPIRAL SHELL. BORING!
Hamza says SO, UM, WHY ARE YOU
HERE TODAY?
Rebellious Snail says I JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYONE
THAT I'VE HAD IT WITH SPIRALS.
I'M STICKING WITH MY RECTANGLE
SHELL AND THAT'S THAT. I JUST
WANT TO BE DIFFERENT.
Stefano says OH! OK, BUT I THOUGHT
RECTANGLES AND SPIRALS
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.
Rebellious Snail says WHAT?
Hamza says SURE. THERE'S A CERTAIN TYPE
OF SPIRAL THAT'S CREATED USING
RECTANGLES SO, BASICALLY, YOU'RE
NOT THAT DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE.
Rebellious Snail says WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEAN?
Hamza says THE SPIRAL IS THE KEY TO THE
RECTANGLE. THE SPIRAL PASSES
THROUGH EACH OF THE SQUARES
DIAGONALLY AND THEN YOU END UP
WITH THIS ADORABLE
LITTLE SPIRAL.
Rebellious Snail says YEAH, OK, I GUESS!
Hamza says RIGHT.
Rebellious Snail says I GUESS IT IS PRETTY ADORABLE.
LET ME TAKE A 'SHELFIE!'
Later Hamza looks at himself in a mirror wearing a curly black moustache.
Hamza says I LOOK 'FIBMAZING'. I LOOK
'FIBULOUS'. WELL, I JUST REALLY
LOVE THAT WORD. FIBONACCI AND
SPIRALS. THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT
'FIBMAZING' WOULD BE MY NEW WORD
WHEN I'M SPORTING THE PERFECT
FIBONACCI SPIRAL ON MY FACE.
HEY, KOOL KAT! KOOL KAT!
DO YOU LIKE MY MUSTACHE?
DO YOU THINK IT'S REAL?
YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT IS A FIB MUSTACHE.
GET IT? FIB?
Kool Kat looks at him and says MEOW!
Hamza says KOOL KAT JUST DOESN'T
GET PUNS. AH!
MAMMA MIA!
OH WELL!
The animation with the two aliens appears on screen as they pull in the moustache through their beam.
One alien says OOH!
One alien?s eyes spiral and he says SPIRAL!
The other alien?s mouth spirals and says SO HYP-NO-TIZING.
AWWWW.
The other alien says NOW, CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN.
(CLUCKS)
Back in the studio, Hamza says SPIRALS ARE REALLY NICE TO
LOOK AT. AREN'T THEY? FOR
CENTURIES ARTISTS AND ENGINEERS
HAVE LOVED THEM TOO. YOU'LL FIND
SPIRALS IN STAIRCASES,
DECORATIONS, BUILDINGS AND
ROADS. SPIRALS ARE EVERYWHERE
IN NATURE: PLANTS, ANIMALS,
THE SKY, EVEN OURSELVES.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY
HYPNOTIZE US WITH THEIR BEAUTY.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
