So... a really long time ago, Mom was taking me to my first carnival ever.
- Step right up!
- When my little kid eyes saw the most awesome sight they'd ever seen.
- Me!
- Yup.
- I was sooo little.
- And so shy.
I needed Mom to push me so I co uld pet you.
But I could only say a few words, like... Two!
- Two?
- Two?
- I was trying to tell Mom I found my perfect partner.
My best friend ever.
- Two rattles?
(crying) - I knew we could be this aw esome team of two.
You and me.
- Two binkies?
- No!
- Your mini-uke was just two-nd.
(crying) - I couldn't say any of that.
And I didn't want you to get away!
So I just kept holding out two fingers and saying-- Two!
- I have no idea what you want, Peggy Peg.
This is a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
- REEE BIH PRAAAAH!
Two!
- There are two benches-- on the merry-go-round!
Why didn't you say so!
- That'll be 5 tickets, ma'am.
- Let's see, each of these buckets has 5 tickets.
So we've got 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 tickets altogether.
We'll give the nice man these 5 tickets...
But the 5 tickets we just spent are way less than the 25 we still have left.
25 is way more than 5!
- I had no idea what she was talking about.
- Me neither!
- Mom thought she'd solved the problem.
But after about two seconds... Two!
- The second bench?
We're on the first bench, but you want to sit on that striped bench?
- (crying): Two!
- Oh!
You want to go TO the Farmer's Market.
- Even in the old days, pickles were good.
- We've already spent five tickets, plus five more for the pickles makes ten.
(crying) - I was scared I'd never find you.
- Don't worry, Pegster.
We've still got five, ten, fifteen, twenty tickets left!
The twenty we've got is way more than the ten we already used.
- You know what's way more than twenty?
One hundred!
I got one hundred eggs for sale!
Farm fresh and dee-licious!
Isn't that so, little piggy?
(snorting) - How about a slice of my strawberry rhubarb pie?
- Or my lemon meringue pie?
- It's our neighbor Viv.
And Connie, our neighbor on the other side.
- Oh, hello.
- Hi.
- I'm Viv.
- I can't believe you two have never met!
Viv, this is Connie.
- The most soothing music comes from your house.
And the sweetest aromas come from your kitchen.
- I love your sounds and smells too!

That's when you got up your courage and let me pet you.
- Awwwwwww!
- I figured out what she wants!
One piece of each of your pies, which makes two!
- Would ya look at that!
I don't have one hundred eggs any more, I got one hundred chickens!
- Hello!
- All that cracking made you nervous.
But what really scared you was when the baby pig got his first look at-- - ♪ Triangles!

- ♪ I love triangles!
♪ (crying) - Somebody needs a nap.
Don't worry, Peg... We've used 10, plus 5 more for each piece of pie makes 15, 20 tickets.
We've only got 5, 10 tickets left.
10 is way less than 20.
- I had no idea why she was telling me all that stuff.
- It's good for a kid to hear things explained.
- That's how you learn.
A little at a time.
- But if ya use words young'uns don't understand, ya get 'em all befuddled.
- I dithagree.
- Anyway, Peg.
When we've used these last ten tickets, we can go.
Okay?
- TWO!

Not even a cute little tree-let.
- TWO!
TWOOO!
TWOOOOO!
- Okay, we're losing it here.
Look, Peg.
We've spent 20 tickets, plus 5 more for the concert makes 25.
We've got 5 tickets left.
That's all.
Okay?
The 25 we've already used is so many more than the 5 we've got left.
We'll be out of here in no time!
So if you can just keep it together-- - TWOOOOOOOOO!
- Over that way?
Yes!
I get it!
- (Cat): Yes!
- This flower is shaped like a two!
We'll take it.
- NO!
- Is this what you wanted?
(crying) Well, anyway, we've spent 25, plus 5 more makes all 30 tickets, so we can go home.
(crying) Time for a bottle-- - Whoa.
You were TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!
- I have no idea what to do when you get like this.
Is she teething?
Is she colicky?
Does she need a new diaper?
(crying) - Ah!
- (Cat): Is that...?
- I'm Ramone.
- She's Peg.
- When I was your age, if I couldn't explain what I wanted in words, I'd try drawing.
- Great idea.
- I don't have a crayon and paper, but you can draw in the dirt with this twig.
Remember, Peg.
When you can't solve a problem, there's always somebody somewhere who can help.
- Thanks, Ramone.
- I do what I can.
Hey, that's got a nice ring to it.
I think I'll say it again and again for the rest of my life.
I do what I can.
I do what I can.
I do what I can... - So what do you think, Peg?
Can you draw what you're trying to tell me?
On the dirt, not on the...
Uh, okay, that'll work.
Peg... Plus... A kitty?
That kitty...
Equals... Two.
You and that kitty should team up, huh?
(giggling) Does this kitty belong to anybody?
- Not mine.
- No.
- Nope.
- Well then... - I was SO scared.
- Mom took your adorable tremble-y little blobby body down from the tree.
- I was still really scared... - All that changed, when I said a word I'd never said before in my whole life.
Cat!
- How'd you know my name?!
- Problem solved.

- Hello, Ramone.
- I'm Peg, this is Cat, and today is Valentine's Day-- the day that's all about love!
- And?
- And friendship.
- Aaaaand?
- Greeting cards?
- Chocolate!
- Oh, right!
Our friends Romeo and Juliet are having a big Valentine's Day party in Verona.
So we're making them a special box of solid-shaped chocolates!
- What's a solid shape?
- Well, flat shapes are things like squares, triangles and circles.
They only have two dimensions.
Length... and width.
- Check.
- But solid shapes have three dimensions.
Length, width and-- - Nougat?
- Height.
- Oof!
- Hmm... the lid won't close.
Mac, our chef, has a special arrangement to make the chocolates fit in the box.
- Yeah, but where is Mac?
(cell phone ringing) - Hiya, Peg.
- Mac!
Where are you?
- I'm at the 24-hour drugstore.
All the Valentine's candy goes on sale at midnight, and I buy it up cheap.
It's a tradition.
- So you spend every Valentine's Day alone?
- But then the next day I'm not alone.
I got candy!
- Can you tell us your special chocolate arrangement, Mac?
- Oh, yeah, no problem!
I put them in pairs.
- A pair means 2 of something.
- ♪♪ First, a pair o' pyramids White chocolate from Giza!
♪ ♪ Next, a pair o' cylinders!

And the lid closes!
Thanks, Mac.
- You got it, kid.
- Okay.
Now we've got everything we need to make this the most perfect Valentine's Day ever.
Cat, why are you under the table?
- Under this table?
I'm not under this table...
I just realized I don't have a Valentine for Peg!
- Oh no!
I don't have a Valentine for Cat!
- (both): This is a BIG PROBLEM!
Did you say something?
What?
No.
- Okay...
I just need some red paper... Hey, Cat, do you, um, happen to have the red paper, for no reason at all?
- I just happen to... have... it here.
I don't know how to make a heart!
- A heart has symmetry: two sides that are exactly the same.
So if I fold the paper in half and cut one side of the heart like so... the edges line up.
When I open the paper... voilà!
One heart with two matching sides.
Symmetry.
- Um, Peg?
- Uh, Cat?
- (both): HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
- For you.
This heart that I totally didn't just make a second ago.
- Me either.
- (both): Thanks!
♪ Problem solved The problem is... ♪ (cell phone ringing) - Hello?
- 'Tis I, romantic Romeo.
In Verona, draped with snow.
The outdoor party space we love has too much snow to even shove...l - Do you think you have the space to have the party at your place?
- Uh...of course!
Yeah, sure we do!
- We'll tell the ten couples to go to you!
- And guess what else!
We have commissioned R and R!
The great musicians!
To play at the party!
- All right!
- Woo hoo!
- So who are R and R?
- No clue!
- Time to dash.
See you in a flash!
- R and R?!
- Who could they could be?
- Yeah, I guess it calls for that much mystery.
- Well, we better get ready, Cat!
Juliet said there are 10 couples coming, and we need boxes of chocolate and hearts for everyone!
- 10 couples?
How many people is that?
- A couple means two of something.
Same as a pair!
So if there are 10 couples, each with two people, we can count by twos to figure out how many!
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 people!
- 20 hearts and 20 boxes of chocolates?
We don't have time to make all that!
- But you gotta have hearts and chocolates for everybody on Valentine's Day!
This is a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!!
- Hey, I can make a heart appear.
Ta-dah!
- That's it, you genius!
We counted by twos to save time, so now we can cut by twos to save time!
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20!
There!
Twenty hearts.
Now to fill the 20 boxes of chocolates.
- Peg!
The chocolates don't fit!
- We can use our first box as a guide to show us where to put the chocolates.
- Uh...this box?
- Oh no!
I don't remember the special arrangement.
Better call Mac again.
- Hiya, Peg.
Speak up!
I can't hear you over that R and R song.
Excuse me, lady.
If you wait an hour, all these flowers will go on sale!
The candy, too!
I'm tellin' ya, you're wastin' your money!
I'm in the middle of a very important conversation here, Peg... Gotta go.
- He said something about R and R. Who could they be?
That's it, Cat!
Look.
Each solid shaped chocolate has a flat shape in the box for its bottom.
That's because the solid shapes have flat shapes on their bottom.
The shapes in the box can be our guide!
So, there are two triangles for two triangular pyramids.
Two circles for two cylinders, since cylinders have circles on their ends.
And two squares for two cubes.
Then two rectangles for two rectangular prisms.
And these shapes are... One two three four five... - Five-side-agons!
- Pentagons!
Two pentagons, for pentagonal prisms!
Now we can do all the boxes.
- And so... - ♪ Problem solved The problem is solved ♪ ♪ We solved the problem ♪ - Our Valentines are awesome!

- We R... - And R... - (both): TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

We should count to ten in pairs to calm down.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10!
(gasping) That's it, you reaching up high genius!
We'll make a Valentine with length, width and A LOT of height!
- Perfect!
Huzzah!
Wait, how?
- We'll make R and R a solid-shaped heart using this heart-shaped cake pan.
See?
It has length, width, and also height.
C'mon!
Ahem.
Ramone and Roxanne...
