| Point of View |
| Because what you see depends on your point of view, different people looking at the same objects can see them differently and disagree about what they are seeing. |

Hacker returns to Poddleville with a peace offering: a magnificent statue of the Mayor of Poddleville. But at the unveiling party, Hacker accuses someone of stealing the key to his recharger chair. The accused claims he's innocent. Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the kids and Digit investigate the crime by interviewing eyewitnesses and recreating the crime scene. But the more they investigate -- the more the accused is placed at the scene of the crime. Everyone saw him. It appears that Hacker has found the culprit. But has he? And what's that strange noise coming from inside the statue?

Hoop Schemes
After a winning a couple of one-on-one basketball games, Bianca heads over to Coney Island.
There she tries to win a stuffed animal by sinking a basket. Frustrated by several unsuccessful attempts, when Bianca looks at the hoop from down below, she discovers that it is shaped like an oval, rather than a circle. Using this knowledge, she changes her shooting strategy so the ball goes in without touching the backboard, and, to the chagrin of Mr. Sleaze, sinks two shots in a row.
Math message: A shape that you see depends on the object and on the direction from which you look at it - your point of view. Change your point of view and the shape you see can change, too.
