Transcript: Frog Hops II

MATT: This is all Hacker's fault! Once a lump of garbage, always a lump of garbage!

DIGIT: Say that again!

MATT: Once a lump of.--

DIGIT: Garbage! That's it! That's how we get rid of the frog!

JACKIE: What are you talking about?

DIGIT: We get it into the garbage chute – around that corner with the trash!

JACKIE: Great idea! We know how to control how it moves!

MATT: All we have to do is get close enough to push the input buttons.

INEZ: Oh, no...don't look at me.

INEZ: WHOAAA!!! Ugh!

INEZ: Can we talk about this?

MATT: Push a button and take control.

INEZ: Whoa!

JACKIE: It worked!

INEZ: Around that corner, Didge?

DIGIT: Roger! Then around another corner, down a few hops...and we're there!

INEZ: Four hops ought to get me to the corner. I input '2', right?

JACKIE: Yep, '2' in, four hops out!

INEZ: Whoa!!

JACKIE: One. Two. Three.

DIGIT: You came up short.

JACKIE: That's because it hopped three times – not four.

INEZ: Why? What happened?

MATT: I don't know. Maybe the rule changed when it grew. We need to learn the new rule, and fast!

JACKIE: Inez, see what happens when you input a one. It should hop twice.

INEZ: Whoaa!

INEZ: Nope, only once.

INEZ: But the turn buttons are still working the same. Let me input a '3'.

INEZ: Whoa!

MATT: Ride 'em, cowgirl!

INEZ: That time it made five hops. It made six before. The rule has definitely changed!

DIGIT: Not only that, you passed the turn to the trash bin three hops back.

JACKIE: Okay, we'll figure it out.

JACKIE: We know that putting a '1' gives one hop.

DIGIT: And a '2' makes it hop three times.

JACKIE: Button 3 is five hops...

MATT: It looks like the output is now one less than twice the input.

JACKIE: And if this pattern continues, '4' should give us seven hops...

MATT: And '5' in should give us nine hops.

JACKIE: The rule did change!

JACKIE: Now the hops out are twice the numbers in…minus one!

MATT: It's a new ballgame, with a new rule! We're back in control!

DIGIT: Let's dash for the trash!

JACKIE: Not so fast! We have to make sure we're right. Inez, input a '4'. Jackie inputs the numbers in her Skwak.

MATT: If we're right, that should get you seven hops.

INEZ: Okay, but you guys owe me.

INEZ: Whoaaaa!!! Whooaaa! Whoaaa!!! Whoooaaa!!!

JACKIE: The new rule works! It made seven hops!

INEZ: Phew!

MATT: Good to go, Nezzie!

INEZ: Don't call me Nezzie!
