Mathnet - Case of the Willing Parrot (Recap & Finale) Pt.1

George and Kate try to solve a series of puzzles left behind by a late comedian whose fortune has been inherited by a parrot named Little Louie.

I only had pieces of this case throughout the week so I tried to arrange them in the most coherent way possible.

This video consists of the ending to Tuesday's episode as well as a combination of the recaps from Thursday's (?) and Friday's episodes. I've also posted a second part to this case which has the events of Friday's episode.

BTW, in case you're dying to know, Roscoe "Fatty" Tissue is probably a pun on Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, a comedian from the Hollywood silent-film era best known for his involvement in a big murder scandal.

haha...this is where I learned about the Fibonacci sequence. Why don't they make kids' shows like this anymore?

Funding is made possible by

The Corporation For Public Broadcasting, and by the annual financial support from Viewers Like You.

Kate was sure beautiful. Especially when they went to New York with the Lois Lane hair style :)

Here's another thing I missed: It never occurred to me when I was young that kids like Walter should have parents or guardians around, or even that if Kate was thinking she wouldn't have told Tedge about her plan to get backup before arresting him.

@mbenzsl2000 agreed. I think about watching this show when I was a kid and I didn't look at her twice. But yeah, she's a hottie. Kinda has some Meg Ryan in her.
