Transcript: Find Those Gleamers

INEZ: Okay, what do we know?

MATT: Well, we know that 3 gleamer bugs produce 18 units of power glow.

DIGIT: So what's that got to do with anything?!!

JACKIE: I don't know, but maybe if we draw a picture we'll get an idea.

MATT: Those are the silliest looking bugs I ever saw!

INEZ: Get off her case, Matt! Jackie, if you use a letter to stand in for each of your bugs, you can still do what you want and not have your bug-art criticized.

JACKIE: Okay, since they're bugs, let's use B. B, B, B.

DIGIT: Oh great, now we gotta deal with letters instead of bug pictures?!!

JACKIE: Hold on! I'm getting an idea. B stands for bug but it could also stand for the power glows each bug puts out. We've got three Bs putting out 18 units of power. 3B is 18. Hmmm. Three times what is 18? Three times six is 18!

JACKIE: The glow power of one bug is six.

INEZ: See Didge? Letting the letter B stand in for the power of a gleamer helped us figure out the part we didn't know.

DIGIT: Okay...but we've got five slots here. How much power will we get if we fill them all with gleamers?

MATT: Let's see. Hmm. Five bugs...five Bs. If one bug gives off six units of power, then five Bs will be five times six...

DIGIT: I got it! Five times six equals 30.

INEZ: And since there aren't any more slots to fill - 30 glows of power should get the Wreaker started.
