• Dance of the Geo Shapes: Dodecahedron (EKA #106)

Computer graphics illustrate and highlight a dodecahedron as it rotates in space.

• Suds: Raffle Ticket - Part 2

Because the 3 characters did not contribute equally to the purchase of the ticket, they discuss splitting possible winnings according to the percentage of the ticket cost they put up initially.

• Grempod & Blotmo: Sponge Candy

Grempod, a Rigelian alien, offers his pal Blotmo a ripe sea fig from the planet Xerkne if he can guess which of his 4 hands holds the treat. The probability is 1/4 that Blotmo will choose correctly.

• Suds: Raffle Ticket - Part 3

Although the Suds characters have the first 2 of the 3 numbers, they do not have the last number - and,so, don't win. As consolation, the clerk tears their ticket into 2 quarters and 1 half piece.

• Backstage with Blackstone: Dime, Penny, Nickel (EKA #102)

Blackstone uses a fundamental property of even and odd numbers to correctly identify which hand holds the dime and which holds the penny. His follow-up trick depends on psychology--not mathematics.
