00:00Alex built a time machine and decided to pitch it on Shark Tank.
00:05To prove his invention was legit, the sharks challenged him to bring back relics from different
00:10eras.
00:11Now he needs your help to impress those tough-as-nails investors.
00:16He steps into the machine, and poof, Alex finds himself in the middle of a dense forest.
00:22He hears an enormous roar that sends shivers down his spine.
00:26Curious, he creeps closer and spots two gigantic dinosaurs with a baby one stuck right between
00:33them.
00:34Whose baby dino is it?
00:45It belongs to the dinosaur on the right, as both of them have red stripes on their backs.
00:51But Alex isn't about to stick around to find out what happens next, and he bolts out
00:56of there faster than you can say dino dinner.
01:00Second stop, Ancient Egypt.
01:02Alex is now lost in a maze of dusty pyramid corridors.
01:06There, a ghostly figure appears.
01:09It's the spirit of an ancient pharaoh, and he's not here for a friendly chat.
01:14The pharaoh says,
01:15To escape this pyramid, you must listen carefully.
01:19If you face the rising sun, walk toward the shadows.
01:23If you hear the whispers of the ancients, turn left.
01:27But if you feel the coolness of the stone, head straight.
01:32Alex freezes for a moment, thinking it over.
01:35What should he do to find the exit?
01:45The correct answer is option A, walk toward the shadows.
01:49Look, Alex has a compass and knows to face east, where the sun rises and casts shadows
01:55to the west.
01:56Walking west will safely lead him out of the pyramid, avoiding traps.
02:03After leaving the pyramid, he steps into a huge library filled with tons of papyrus scrolls.
02:10He grabs one as a relic, but then it hits him.
02:13He needs to get out of there fast.
02:15Why does he decide to run?
02:25A giant library in Egypt?
02:27Hold on, we're talking about the library of Alexandra, the one that famously burned
02:32down.
02:33If you look over in the corner, you can already see a small flame spreading.
02:38And since Alex knows how this story ends, he decides to bolt out of there as quickly
02:43as he can.
02:45Great, Alex secured his relic from Egypt, and his next stop is the fascinating realm
02:50of medieval times.
02:52Alex stumbles upon an ancient sword stuck in a rock, and there's something carved
02:57on it.
02:58I am not alive, but I can grow.
03:01I do not breathe, but I can fade away.
03:04What am I?
03:06Can you help him figure out the answer?
03:16The answer is fire.
03:18After saying it out loud, Alex manages to pull the sword out of the stone and takes
03:24it with him on his journey.
03:26Alex is starving, so before heading back to the time machine, he stops at a busy medieval
03:32market where a merchant is selling fish.
03:35The prices are 2 coins for a small fish, 3 coins for a medium fish, and 5 coins for
03:42a large fish.
03:43He only has 10 coins.
03:45If he wants to buy 2 small fish, how many medium fish can he buy?
03:59After purchasing 2 small fish, he spent 4 coins, leaving him with 6 coins.
04:05So Alex was able to buy 2 medium fish.
04:09Well it's time to return to the time machine.
04:12Now Alex finds himself in a splendid Renaissance court, where the king faces a challenge.
04:18Two young women are claiming to be a long-lost princess.
04:22To determine the true heir, he devises a test of royal etiquette.
04:27Each woman receives a magnificent gown for a grand banquet.
04:31As they enter the opulent hall, the king observes closely.
04:36One woman walks with her gown's train trailing behind her, while the other elegantly tucks
04:41her train over her arm.
04:44Which woman is the true princess?
04:55The woman who tucked her train over her arm.
04:58A true princess would know to lift her gown's train to avoid tripping and to display grace
05:04and poise.
05:06The king is so impressed by Alex's investigative skills that he wants to offer him a Renaissance
05:11relic to take with him.
05:13But first, he wants to test Alex's knowledge of the period.
05:17The king points to the famous Mona Lisa and asks, who painted it?
05:22Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, or Michelangelo?
05:26Do you know?
05:35The portrait was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
05:39Since Alex had already seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, this was easy-peasy for him.
05:45With the Renaissance mystery solved and another relic guaranteed, Alex jumps back into the
05:51time machine and zooms to ancient Rome.
05:54He arrives at a bustling marketplace filled with philosophers, artisans, and orators.
05:59Suddenly, a wise old philosopher approaches and challenges him with a riddle.
06:05I speak without a mouth and hear without ears.
06:09I have no body, but I come alive with the wind.
06:13What am I?
06:15Alex scratches his head.
06:17Can you help him figure out the answer?
06:28The answer is an echo.
06:31Impressed with Alex's wisdom, the philosopher hands him an ancient scroll as a relic for
06:36his journey.
06:38Well, Alex is on a roll, but now he lands in the Viking Age.
06:44It's freezing and he needs to get inside a house quickly.
06:47There are three houses, each with a grim-faced Viking at the door.
06:52Which house does he decide to enter?
07:02He definitely goes to house number 3.
07:06If you notice, the owners of houses 1 and 2 have shields on them.
07:11That means they're Viking warriors, and Alex definitely doesn't want to mess with
07:15them.
07:17His next stop is ancient China.
07:19Look, they're constructing the Great Wall, so he decides to take a brick with him to
07:24impress the sharks.
07:26As he approaches, one of the builders steps in and says that among this huge pile of bricks,
07:32only one is suitable for the Great Wall.
07:35Can you figure out which one?
07:46What are these colored tiles doing here?
07:48Look at the color of the Great Wall.
07:50The correct brick is this one with an earthy tone.
07:55Back in the time machine, Alex travels to the Maya civilization.
07:59Suddenly, a wise elder appears, blocking his path.
08:04He's holding a mysterious stone calendar.
08:06And he explains that their solar calendar, called Haab, has 365 days.
08:13But they also have a shorter calendar, called Tzolk'in, primarily used for ceremonial purposes.
08:19If Alex guesses how many days the Tzolk'in calendar has, he can take it with him.
08:25So what is the correct answer?
08:36If the Haab calendar has 365 days, and the elder said that Tzolk'in calendar is shorter,
08:44the only possible answer is option B. Yay!
08:48One more relic is guaranteed!
08:51After another trip back in time, Alex finds himself in the Victorian era and in the middle
08:57of a mystery.
08:58A wealthy nobleman had mysteriously disappeared from his mansion.
09:03Four people were in the house that night – a butler, the maid, a gardener, and the nobleman's
09:10niece.
09:11Each was found in a different room when the authorities arrived.
09:14The butler says he was preparing the dining room.
09:17The maid claims she was cleaning the windows in the living room.
09:22The gardener insists he was outside tending the garden.
09:25The niece says she was reading in the library.
09:29Who is lying?
09:39The maid is lying.
09:40Take a closer look at the windows – they're completely filthy and covered in dust.
09:45So Alex realizes the maid lied about cleaning them.
09:50This suggests she might be involved in the nobleman's disappearance.
09:54The time machine now takes Alex to 1896.
09:57He's in Greece, witnessing the first-ever International Olympic Games.
10:03He notices a wall with illustrations of all the sports of the time.
10:08But something looks totally off.
10:10Can you figure out what it is?
10:17Wait, this illustration represents breakdancing, which was only introduced in the 2024 Olympic
10:27Games in France.
10:29What is it doing here in the 1800s?
10:32Could something be off with the time machine?
10:35Well, Alex thinks it's better to return to the present day.
10:39And with all the relics in hand, he truly impresses the investors on Shark Tank with
10:44treasures from across history.
10:46Looks like his journey through time paid off!
10:49That's it for today!
