(clapping)
- (all): Whoa!

- What's going on?!

- Yeah! Why is the train
going so slow?

- It looks like we've
reached Big Mountain.

- Big Mountain? What's that?

- It's a really big mountain.

I'd better check in
with the engineer.

- I think you can,
I think you can,

I think you can!

- Big Mountain's so steep,
the train can't make it.

- I thought you could,
I thought you could,

I thought you could!

- The Peg plus Cat Express
has a big problem!

Cat, you genius
engineer! That's it!

- Ugh! I fell on
a bunch of apples.

- That's right. And the
Peg plus Cat Express

uses apples for fuel.
They give it power.

♪ Apples, they're good for
the train that goes choo-choo ♪

♪ And good, good for you ♪

- Mm! That's good fuel.

- Since apples power the train,

maybe more apples will
help it get up the hill.

- Yes.

- Don't worry, people.

- (Albert Einstein): Agh, no!
This is terrible!

- Not the reaction I expected.
- What's wrong, Albert Einstein?

- The Puffmais prize.
It's... it's... missing!

(thunder)
(gasping)

- What do these puffy mice
look like, anywho?

- The Puffmais prize
is not mice.

It is a special award
that I left in a silver bowl

on the buffet table
a moment ago!

The most fulfilling prize

I have ever received!

- But now there's no bowl...
- No prize...

- And a really big problem!

♪♪♪

- There's only one way
to find the Puffmais.

- How? How??
- Through deduction.

- (various): Huh? What?
- (Richard): Duct tape?

- Deduction simply means

putting facts together
to come up with an answer.

- Then let's put
some facts together.

- Fact one:
Einstein left his prize

in a silver bowl
on the buffet table.

- That's a fact.
- Fact two: it's gone!

- So gone!
- Fact three:

there are footprints
leading from the table...

- ...to the caboose!
- Deduction:

someone must have taken
the Puffmais that way!

- It was taken, so the Puffmais
has been stolen!

(gasping)
- Oh...

My head feels wobbly
from all this excitement.

- You rest that genius head,
Albert Einstein.

We'll find your prize.

- ♪ Shoo, dooby doo,
dooby doo, boo boo ♪

- The silver bowl!
- That the Puffmais was in!

- (both): Mac must have
stolen the prize!

(thunder)
- I didn't steal nothin'!

Someone just handed me
this empty bowl.

I figured I'd polish
it up for him.

- Did that someone have a name?

- Uh... uh... I can't think
under all this pressure!

Let's see if we can find out
who gave Mac the bowl using

deduction!

Can you remember any
facts about the person?

- Well, the fellow was
a non-female type of guy.

- Fact one: it was a guy.

- So it couldn't have
been the neighbour ladies.

- Oh! And he was not tall.

- Fact two:
the person was short.

- That leaves
the Toad and Richard.

- Also the guy was green
and sold me a cube.

Does that help?
- Deduction:

it must have been Toad!
- Yeah, that's him!

- So Toad is our thief.

- (all): Whoa!

- We're going up
Double Big Mountain!

It's twice as big as
regular Big Mountain.

We need more apples.
- How many?

- It took two apples to get
the train over Big Mountain,

so we need to double
the number of apples.

Doubling means adding
a number to itself.

Two apples plus another
two apples equals...

one, two, three, four apples.

- Coming right up!

♪♪ One apple
- One apple ♪

- ♪ Two apples
- Two apples ♪

- ♪ Three, four apples
- Three, four apples ♪

- (both): ♪ Oh, yeah ♪♪
(train chugging)

- Woohoo!
- Now to catch that thief!

- I... I'm innocent, I tell you!

- Really?
- Sure, I wanted to peek

at the Puffmais, but there was
someone standing in my way.

- You never even
saw the Puffmais?

- When the person left, there
was just an empty silver bowl,

which I brought to Mac
to polish. He's very good.

- Sounds like that person
standing in front

of the Toad took the prize.

- Can you describe
the person's face?

- Never saw the face --
only four beautiful knees.

- The person had four knees?
- Is that weird?

- Fact one: Toad saw four knees.

- Fact two: everyone on
the train has two knees.

- One, two... Whoa!

- Four knees equals
two knees plus two knees.

It was two people standing
next to each other.

- Excellent deduction!
- Or knee-duction,

if you will. Heh, heh.
- (both): We will.

- It must have been
that famous twosome...

- (all): The Neighbour Ladies!
(thunder)

- Well, well, well, well,
well-y well, well.

We know you took the Puffmais
prize. Fess up! Fess up!

- We were standing
at the buffet table

snacking on the snacks...
- Which were delicious.

- But very salty.

- So we came back
for some pink lemonade.

- If Mac, Toad and the Neighbour
Ladies didn't steal the prize...

- ...then the only
passenger left is...

- Here's your lemonade, ladies.
- (all): Richard!

(thunder)
- Oh, hi, everybody.

- Richard must be the thief!
(crying)

- I'm not a thief!
- OK, settle down.

(bawling)

- Why would you even say that?

- It was just a deduction!

- You guys are deduction
meanies! Wah!

- OK, Richard, we believe you.

- We're almost at Cucamonga!

We've questioned everyone,

but we still haven't found
the thief or the missing prize

and I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

(trumpet)
(whistle)

Cat's right. I should have five
sips of lemonade and calm down.

Five... four...

three... two... one!

- (yawning): Hi, Peg.

Did you find the thief?
(Richard sobbing)

- I don't even know
what a Puffmais is!

- Oh! Puffmais is a German word
that means "popcorn."

- (all): What?! Popcorn?
- You mean your Puffmais prize

was a bowl of popcorn
on the buffet table?

- Of course!
♪♪ I've won every prize ♪

♪ Under the sun ♪

♪ But the Puffmais, so nice ♪

♪ Is the most fulfilling one ♪♪

- I, uh, think
I might have munched

on a handful of your prize.
- Yeah, so did I.

- That's what
we were snacking on.

- Me too!
(crying)

- Even I had a handful.

- You mean we all ate some of
that popcorn without thinking?

We're sorry, Al.
- We didn't know

we were eating a big-deal award.

- (chuckling): Oh,
but this is wonderful!

I was worried that
the popcorn had disappeared

before anyone had
a chance to try it!

I'm delighted that you all
got to share in my prize.

- You are?
- Of course!

were correct --

- You were right about
that Puffmais, Al.

- It was really fulfilling.
- Yeah, I'm totally full.

- And a little thirsty.
- It was so salty.

- This is an epic -- meaning

(heavy breathing)

Does that map show someplace we
could stop to catch our breath?

- It shows that if we turn
the wheel to five,

at an uninhabited
island we'll arrive.

- Uninhabited means empty!
- That sounds great.

- I'll turn the wheel to five!
- No, no! That's eight...

and that's four.

- Five must be
an odd number, right?

- Yeah.
- No!

- Why do you shake your fists
as if to throw them?

- Since I avoid odd numbers,
I don't know them.

- Don't worry, Odysseus.

♪ You can go from
even to odd, they say ♪

♪ By adding one

- You don't say.
- Four is even,

but you can get to the next odd
number, five, by adding one.

Or you can take one away and get
to a lower odd number, three.

- So to four, an even number,

I'll add one to
get to five, an odd number.

- Well done.
- Don't steer to even numbers

in the Odd Sea, please!
- We're sailing

to the island now with ease.

- Not uninhabited! I misread.

"One-inhabited" is what it said.

- Ah, one, an odd
and lovely number.

Now who are you that dared
disturb my slumber?

- Nobody...
- Nobody? That's a funny name.

And how about you, young lady?
- Um... the same!

- Odysseus! The famous hero! Oh,

I'm glad to meet you.
- Right back at you, Cyclops.

He won't eat you.
- Yes, I didn't think that.

- Why would we think that?
- Make yourselves at home.

Check out the pen. I'll bring

some tasty goat cheese
