- Mr. Mayor.
- Oh!
Agent Olive, thank you for coming.
I don't believe we've... - My new partner, Agent Otto.
- What's up?
- Ooh, I like him better than your last partner.
- Uh, yes.
Um, so, um, what seems to be the problem?
- Do you know what a snowman is?
- Yeah... - This will be a lot easier to explain, then.
Come!
SOMEONE'S RUINED ALL THE SNOWMEN!
- Oh, no!
- And that's not all.
Look at that bench!
And that's not the worst of it.
I used to call this my "special star sweater".
Gah!
Not so special anymore!
This just got real, yo.
- We'll get to the bottom of this, Mr. Mayor.
- Don't worry, sweater, you'll be special again.
- So weird!
Why is everything missing one half?
- Not everything, partner.
These trees are still whole.
I have a hunch what's going on.
We have to go to the Mathroom.
(whirring) - Greetings, agents.
- Mathroom.
Show us a picture of what the snowman, the bench, and Mayor Macklemore's sweater look like right now.
- Generating images.
- Now show us what they used to look like.
- I knew it.
These are all symmetrical objects.
- What's that?
- When an object has symmetry, it means that one half is exactly the same as the other half.
The line of symmetry is here.
See?
This half is the same as this half.
- Oh, yeah.
Same with the benches and the star.
Both halves are the same.
It's like a mirror image.
- That is correct.
If you hold a mirror up to one half, the mirror image looks exactly the same.
- Mathroom, bring up one of the trees from the town square.
- Generating foliage.
- (Olive): But this isn't symmetrical.
The two sides are different.
That's why it was left alone.
But who would be destroying symmetrical objects?
- Yeah, who?
- Yeah... Who?
- Yeah... Who?
- Yeah... Who?
- Yahoo.
-♫Yahoo...♫ ♫...ooo...♫ - Seriously?
- Hmm.
