Pbs kids opens
worlds of possibilities

For all children

Thanks to pbs stations
and viewers like you.

Okay, there's this really
bad dude named hacker --

Hacker: the hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[ Gasp ]
the three kids
are sucked into cyberspace,

And they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
okay, here's the plan.

So they travel
all over and run into all these

Weird creatures...and have all
of these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never!
Matt: there's only one way
to find out!

Tune in
to "cyberchase"!

(Thunder)

Hacker:
easy...

Easy. Here he comes.

Yes!

My bouncing baby behemoth
gigabyte!

Delete:
careful, buzzy!

Don't hurt him.

Ah, he don't
feel nothing.

Delete:
but he's like my brother.

He's got my brainpower,
remember?

Hacker:
don't remind me!

But once I restore life
to gigabyte

I'll finally have
a fearsome flunky

Worthy of serving
the great hacker!

(Evil laugh)

(Insects buzz,
monkeys screech)

Where is everybody?

This is definitely not good.

Ssss.

This is not good at all.

Digit:
motherboard said
we have till noon

To find hacker
and stop him!

Jackie:
and where do we find
his awfulness?

Digit:
the giant pyramid of petaluma!

Matt:
no problem!

We stopped hacker once

From pumping life
into that rusty robot,

We can stop him again!

Jackie:
wonder where inez is?

Not like her to miss
a cool adventure like this.

Inez:
help!

All:
nezie!

Jackie:
inez!

Hi, guys.

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

Inez:
phew! Thanks, didge.

Matt:
let's go!

It'll be high noon
before we know it!

Delete:
(effort grunts)

Boss, how come we couldn't
do this at the castle,

Like we did last time?

All we needed then
was a full moon

To bring giggie back to life.

Because the moon
is only full

Every twenty-nine
and a half days,

Which means, it won't be full
for another twenty,

And I can't wait that long!

Buzz:
makes sense to me, boss.

Delete:
but what's the big deal
about being here at noon?

What's supposed to happen?

Buzz:
oh. Don't you remember
what the boss said?

The solar alignment
will provide

The precise energy
required

To reenergize gigabyte's
cyber cellular matrix!

Delete:
huh?

Hacker:
why, buzz, my good bot,

That's precisely correct!

Perhaps I've underestimated
you.

Oh, thanks, boss.

Hey maybe you don't really
need gigabyte.

Huh?
Oh, whoopsie!

Hacker:
get him!

Jackie:
ew. Ew, and double ew!

What is this sticky stuff?

It stinks!

Digit:
got me.

The sooner we get
to the pyramid, the better.

Inez:
according to this guidebook,

The jimayan jungle is known
for an abundance of insects.

Jackie:
(slap) ouch!

I think I just met one!

Hey! Check out
these hairy trees.

Digit:
uh, I hate to tell you this,
matty,

But those aren't trees!

Inez and jackie:
run!

All:
ahhh!

Ew! Yuck!

Yeow!

Jackie:
yuck. A mud shampoo!
Double ew!

Matt:
look! The pyramid of petaluma.

Inez:
we're a lot closer now!

Jackie:
but it's across the river!

You know I hate water!

Inez:
don't worry, jax.

It's too far to swim.

Matt:
think you could fly across,
didge?

Digit:
then what?

Besides, if I don't get
this sticky stuff off,

I can't even walk!

Matt:
hey, check it out.
This stuff floats!

Inez:
this stuff feels like cork.

Matt:
cool.

Jackie:
I've got an idea.

Maybe we can make a raft
from those things,

And sail across!

Delete:
(effort grunts)

If I didn't know you better,
buzzy,

I'd say you dropped giggie
on purpose. Hmf!

Buzz:
and if I didn't know
you better,

I'd say that you want
gigabyte better than me!

It's different!

Giggie's like my brother.

You're just jealous 'cause
he's got a brain like mine.

Hacker:
stop yapping, delete,

And get my precious
prize up here!

Buzz was talking, too!

I was not!

Were, too.

Was not!

Were, too!

Was, too!

Were not!

Move it!

It'll be noon
in less than an hour!

Don't they ever clean
this place?

Digit:
cast away, me mateys!

Let's see if this crazy
contraption floats!

Inez and matt:
push!

Jackie:
it's working!

Yeah. No problem!

Yeow!

Piranhas!

Jackie:
didge!

What happened?

You okay?

They're coming through
the holes!

I could have been
eaten alive!

Matt:
if we don't want
to be fish-food,

We better build a raft
with no holes or gaps!

Inez:
no overlaps, either.

The pieces have to fit
together exactly.

Jackie:
and we need to make it bigger,
too.

This raft's barely big enough
to hold didge!

Digit:
here's a bunch more,

But they're different
from the others.

Matt:
yeah, all the same size
and all squares!

Jackie:
perfect!

The sides are all the same

And they fit together
nice and tight!

Whoa! Cyber-paste!

That's what I like
about cyberspace -

Anything's possible!

Digit:
let me try!

Another snug fit!

Inez:
not only that, we just made
one big square!

Jackie:
I think we're onto something,
guys.

If four little squares
make one big square

We can keep putting
squares together

Until we make a raft
as big as we need!

Digit:
beautiful!

This is what I call a raft!

Inez:
actually, didge,
it's a tessellation.

Digit, matt and jackie:
a what?

Inez:
a tessellation -
that's what you call it

When you use simple shapes
to cover an area

With no gaps or overlaps.

See?

No gaps or overlaps,
like the last raft.

Jackie:
well, we better get this
tessellation turned around

Or we're in big trouble!

Kids:
(gasp) cyber-swirl!

Help!

All:
whoa!

Matt:
surf's up, guys!

Jackie:
at least the mud's gone!

Hacker:
lower. Lower. Good.

Now set him down gently.

I just want you to know,
delete,

I am not jealous!

You are, too!

Am not!

Delete:
are too!

Hacker:
I said gently!

Giggie!

Hacker:
I have it. I have it.

Buzz:
great catch, boss! (Laugh)

You're the borg!

At high noon,

This horn will become part
of the most daring experiment

In the history of cyberspace!

The creation of life!

(Evil laugh)

(Gasp) uh!

Those earthbrats are here!

Jackie:
look! It's hacker!

You think he saw us?

Matt:
I don't know, but at least
we know where he is.

Inez:
let's see, according
to the guidebook,

The only faster way
to the top is -

That way!

Digit:
is it just me,
or is it hot in here?

Matt:
it's hot, all right.

Weird. You'd think it would
be cool inside a pyramid.

Jackie:
(gasp) what was that?

Matt:
no wonder it's so hot!

Jackie:
lava!

Matt:
this pyramid must be built
on a volcano!

Inez:
oops! Page eleven.

I forgot to tell you that part.

Digit:
no biggie!

The lava's there,

We're here
and hacker's up there.

Let's get him!

Hacker:
this ought to keep those nosey
nellie's busy for a while!

Jackie:
you sure this leads
to the top?

Inez:
it's right here in the book.

It hasn't been wrong yet.

(Rumble sounds)

Inez:
hey! What is that?

Run!

All:
ahhhh!

Jackie:
up here!

Digit:
either the former residents
of this pyramid

Just sent us a message,

Or hacker knows we're here!

Jackie:
well, we can forget about
going back up these steps.

Digit:
so how do we stop hacker?!

Inez:
there's one other way
up to the top -

Those steps over there!

But the floor's red hot!

We'll never get across!

Hacker's gonna win!

No way.

That is not
gonna happen.

Inez:
hey! What's this?

Tile?

Jackie:
let me see.

Whoa!

Whoops!

Sorry!

Inez:
look, it floats,

And it shields the heat!

Maybe we can make a path
across the lava with tiles

Just like we made a raft
to get across the river!

Matt:
but these tiles are so small!

We'll need lots and lots

To make a path wide enough
to walk on!

And they have to fit tight -
no gaps.

Or our toes will be toast!

Jackie:
no problem!

Let's tessellate them!

Problem!

None of these are squares!

Only squares give us no gaps
or overlaps, right?

We don't know that for sure,
didge.

Maybe we can do it
with triangles!

How? These have three sides,
not four.

Wait!

At least the sides
are all the same length,

Like the squares.

And every triangle
is the same size, too!

That helped with the squares.

Let's try them!

No. Oh, not working.

Gaps everywhere.

Matt:
what if we slide this
top row over a bit

So the corners meet,
like the squares did.

Jackie:
hey! The gaps look
just like our triangles

Only upside down!

Matt:
so flip the triangles!

Digit:
the triangles fit together
exactly.

No gaps, no overlaps!

It worked!

Inez:
let's see what happens
if we add more triangles here.

A tessellation!

As long as we use the same
pattern of triangles,

We can make the pattern
as big as we want!

Start tessellating!

Hacker:
higher, the head goes higher!

Gigabyte must be
in exact alignment

With principal focal point
of the lens

When the sun reaches
it's zenith.

Oh! Just make sure
he's facing the lens.

Have you thought
about what happens

When giggie comes back to life?

Yeah. It'll be like
having a big brother

Who thinks just like me.

Hacker:
higher!

We must be precise,
or it won't work!

Hm. You never brought me
a pillow.

You never asked.

Gigabyte didn't ask.

He would if he could.

Higher, I said!

Yeah,
whatever you say, boss!

Hacker:
oh. I can't wait till
high noon.

Matt:
way to go, guys!

We're half-way across!

Jackie:
only one thing,

We don't have enough triangles
to finish the path!

Just when things
were going good!

Inez:
wait!

What about those
other tiles?

Matt:
these tiles don't work!

Game over.

Inez:
you sure?

That's what we said
about the triangles.

Matt:
okay, what do we have here?

A pentagon:

Five sides
all the same length.

Equal angles, just like
the squares and triangles.

But here's the difference.

Five pentagons together
leave a big gap.

And there's no way
to add one to fill that gap,

Without an overlap!

Jackie:
and the lava could ooze
through that overlap!

Matt:
what we have here
is a failure to tessellate!

Digit:
all right! Pentagons are out!

Next!

Ow ow ow. Ooh!

Inez:
how about these hexagons?

Six straight sides,
equal length, equal angles.

All the same size.

Two together leave a big gap,

But a third one fills it
exactly!

A perfect fit!

Jackie:
and look!

Every time we add a hexagon,

We have more gaps that other
hexagons can fill!

So we can make
this tessellation

As big as we want it!

Matt:
game on, guys!

Let's finish this bridge
over troubled lava!

And make it snappy, okay?

In exactly nine,
make that eight minutes

The sun will reach high noon,

And gigabyte will live again!

Just slide these hexagons into
those empty spaces like so,

And the big t is done!

Yes! No gaps, no overlaps!

Tessellation complete!

Matt:
good job!

Inez:
woo-hoo!

Jackie:
way to go, didge!

Matt:
let's sack the hack!

What's all this creepy
green stuff?

Jackie:
yeow!

Uh, I think we're being
watched.

Matt:
I don't see anything.

Inez:
what was that?

Digit:
yoikes!

Ahhhh!

Help!

Matt:
hang in, jax, we'll save you!

I'm hanging!

Inez:
let's see. Hm.

Oh, it's called
a gittermite.

Jackie:
I don't care what it's called
just get me down!

Inez:
and it says here,

The only way to get rid of it

Is to slime it with
orange marmalade?

Ew!
I hate orange marmalade!

Where are we going to get
orange marmalade?

Never fear,
the didge is here!

Orange marmalade!

Eww! Ahhhh!

Phew!

Thanks, guys.
That was close.

Mm. Hey! (Giggle)

This isn't so bad after all.

Matt:
come on, we've got to stop
hacker!

Hacker:
yes! The sun is high,

The time is soon,

Gigabyte will live
at precisely high noon!

(Laughs)

I don't remember when
I've seen the boss so happy!

(Evil laugh)

Yeah,
well, I'm not!

When this bucket of bolts
comes alive,

You'll spend all your time
with him not me!

Not true, buzzy.

I'll still be
your best friend.

Hm.
What about gigabyte?

Well, can't I have
two best friends?

Mm. I don't think so!

Matt:
shhh.

Hacker:
soon, my champion soon.

Hey, boss?

Hm?

What's gonna happen to me
and deedee after gigabyte

You know, uh, joins the group.

What's going to happen?

Let me put it this way, buzz.

Everything!

Cyberspace will be mine!

Jackie:
not so fast, hacker!

Hacker:
well, well, well.

I see you successfully
avoided the hot lava bath.

But I'm afraid
you've run out of time.

Digit:
not yet, hacker!

There's still four minutes
till high noon!

In that case,
you can watch it all happen.

Enjoy the view, kiddlies!

Jackie:
oh no!

Matt:
we're sinking!

Inez:
whoa!

Hacker:
(evil laugh)

Buzz:
good one, boss!

Now what?
We can't reach them!

Digit:
but I can.

I'll fly up there
take out hacker,

Take out buzz
and delete then-

Jackie:
whoa whoa, didge!

By the time you do that,
it'll be high noon

And gigabyte will be alive!

Inez:
that's it!

We're focusing on
the wrong problem.

It's not hacker
we have to stop

It's the sun!

We've got to block it!

Digit:
oh, sure!

Why don't we block the moon
while we're at it?

Jackie:
didge has a point, inez.

I mean, how could we possibly
block the sun?

Maybe didge can
fly up there

And spread his wings between
the sun and gigabyte!

Yes! No!
He's not big enough.

Besides, we need something
with no gaps and no overlaps!

You're saying I got gaps
and overlaps?

Inez:
I'm saying we need to fly
something up there

The sun can't shine through,

Like... Like a kite!

String, but no kite!

Sorry.

Jackie:
c'mon, guys, look around!

There has to be something down
here we can use to make a kite!

The shape is weird,
but how about these flowers?

(Sniffs) ugh!

Inez:
can't make a kite with no
overlaps or gaps out of these

They break all the rules!
See?

Sure, they're the same shape,
but the shapes aren't regular,

Like, like squares
and triangles and hexagons.

Matt:
you're right!

One side is straight,

But the other sides
are all zig-zaggy.

We're cooked!

Inez:
make that gigabyte's
about to be.

Hacker:
it won't be long now, giggie!

Matt:
what are we gonna do?

Jackie:
guess what?!

Even though the shapes
aren't regular

They still fit together!

Inez:
this just might work, jax!

Matt:
and look, add more petals...
And what do you get?

Jackie:
a hexagon!

Inez:
they tessellate!

Who would have thought?

We still have two minutes.

Let's make that kite!

Matt:
come on, let's get
the string attached.

Inez:
it's almost high noon!

Jackie:
okay, didge, do your stuff!

Hacker:
yes!

My monster will live again!

What's that thing?!

Wha-what happened?

Hacker and delete:
no!

Yes!

Hacker and delete:
gigabyte!

Buzz:
syanara! (Laughs)

Hacker and delete:
(sobbing)

Motherboard:
excellent work, cybersquad.

Gigabyte bit the dust!

(Chuckle)
good one, motherboard!

Jackie, is that orange
marmalade in your hair?

Jackie:
it's a long story, mother b.

Matt:
and messy.

Inez:
very messy.

All:
(laugh)
