00:00Sarah is a PhD student at UTC.

00:03She lives in a big house with four other students from her program.

00:08One Friday night, she went out for coffee, and when she returned home,

00:12she found her super-expensive laptop was missing.

00:16It had her top-notch research in it.

00:19She suspected that one of her housemates might have stolen it,

00:22so she decided to conduct an investigation.

00:25Alex, the oldest of them all, said he had been working in his room all day long

00:31and that he had been so focused on his work that he didn't see or hear anything out of the ordinary.

00:38Ben, who was one of Sarah's best friends, said he had been watching TV in the living room

00:43while she went out and hadn't seen anyone go in or out of the house.

00:48And Chloe, Sarah's apprentice, said she had gone out for groceries

00:52about the same time Sarah had gone out for coffee.

00:56After hearing all of them out, Sarah knew immediately who had stolen her laptop.

01:02Can you guess who did it?

01:12It was Chloe.

01:14She said she had gone out for groceries.

01:17But Ben was in the living room the entire time and didn't see anyone leave the house.

01:21She probably stole it to see the secret things Sarah had been working on.

01:30It's a rainy morning in New York City

01:32and three influencers are waiting for a cab in the rain.

01:36One of them is in Brooklyn Heights, the other is in Chelsea, and the last one is in Bushwick.

01:42Take a look at the image.

01:45Can you tell who is going to get wet first?

01:47It's definitely the one who is in Bushwick.

02:00See how the rain is coming from behind her?

02:03That umbrella is not going to help very much.

02:06A group of friends were backpacking through Europe during the summer.

02:12During the last week of their trip, they decided to go to Italy.

02:17They spent the morning visiting ancient ruins, and by lunchtime, they were ready for some pasta.

02:22They sat down at a local restaurant and ate delicious Italian food.

02:28But when it was time to pay the bill, they noticed their wallets were missing.

02:34Since they didn't have money to pay for their meal, the restaurant owner called the police.

02:39As soon as the police arrived, they questioned each one of the travelers.

02:43I remember seeing Alice with her wallet before we left the hostel, Emily said.

02:50Well, I did have my wallet with me, but it might have fallen in the last Uber drive we took to get here, Alice said.

02:58I'm sure I had my wallet with me when I got to the restaurant, but I just can't seem to find it now, Jake said.

03:05My wallet was in the bag the whole time, but I just noticed someone opened it and left it open, Lily said.

03:14The police officer wasn't sure whether the group of travelers was telling the truth,

03:19so he asked to see the restaurant security footage.

03:22Take a look at the image.

03:34Is the group of friends lying or telling the truth?

03:38They were telling the truth.

03:40Look at that suspicious guy that entered the restaurant.

03:44He pretended to be a waiter to get close to the table.

03:47But he stole all of the travelers' wallets.

03:50Yike! We're talking a master pickpocket here.

03:55A small town only has three detectives.

03:58Since they all claim to be the best detective in town,

04:01the mayor came up with the ultimate challenge to determine once and for all who is the best.

04:07On that evening's TV announcement, the mayor said,

04:11My cat Whiskers just went missing today, and I need the best detective to find him within 24 hours.

04:17The town's detectives, Toby, Juan, and Chloe, got to work immediately.

04:24Each of them adopted a different investigation method.

04:28Toby thought it was best to interview the mayor's neighbors to see where they had last seen Whiskers.

04:34Juan searched the town's main open public areas, such as the parks and playgrounds.

04:39And Chloe decided to follow the thin trail of cat fur and footprints starting from the mayor's place.

04:47Can you guess who found Whiskers first?

04:50It was Chloe!

05:01By following the trail left behind by the cat, she found Whiskers a few miles away from the house

05:07and won the title of the best detective in town.

05:13Liam was a famous engineer working at Gentech Corp.

05:17He had recently won an award for inventing an AI-driven robot assistant.

05:24One day, he arrived at work and found that his highly secured lab door was open and his robot was missing.

05:32His lab was protected by high-tech security devices, so he knew the person who broke in knew what they were doing.

05:40He accessed his computer logs and found a sequence of numbers that looked out of place.

05:45The numbers were 12, 9, 6, and 5.

05:50At the bottom of the page, a four-spaced box appeared, asking for a key.

05:56He tried typing the numbers in, but they didn't work.

06:00He reflected upon them for a while and realized they were hiding an encrypted message.

06:05He discovered that the numbers translated into a word.

06:09Can you figure out what the message was hiding?

06:22Liam understood that the numbers were referring to a letter of the alphabet.

06:26The 12th letter is the letter L, and the 9th letter is the letter I.

06:32So, the sequence makes up the word L-I-F-E, which is pronounced life.

06:38He inserted the word L-I-F-E into the box at the bottom of his computer, and four different videos opened up on his screen.

06:50Each one of the videos showed a different location.

06:53The first video showed a park, right next to Liam's office building.

06:57The second video showed an electric car shop.

07:01The third video showed Liam's living room.

07:04And the last video showed a theme park.

07:08Liam guessed that these images were a clue to where his robot might be.

07:13Can you help him choose the most likely place where the robot could be?

07:17If you look closely, the robot's legs appear in the first video.

07:36Liam headed down to the park, hoping to find his robot assistant.

07:40As soon as he arrived, he saw the robot sitting on the park bench alone.

07:44Liam looked extremely confused.

07:48He went up to the robot and asked it how it managed to escape the lab.

07:52It said it would only answer Liam if he correctly guessed what phrase was hidden in this enigmatic image.

08:00Can you help Liam figure it out?

08:11Oh, this sure is a clever robot.

08:14The phrase hidden in this image is, I have my own life.

08:19I guess this AI robot was asking for some space of his own, huh?

08:24The robot finally admitted he escaped from the lab by himself.

08:29Liam was shocked because this was not programmed at all.

08:32When he tried entering a command to make his assistant follow him back to the lab,

08:38the robot multiplied into two other virtual robots.

08:42Liam wasn't paying attention at the moment,

08:45so he got confused as to which one was the original robot.

08:49Can you tell?

08:50It's the third one on the right.

09:01See how the sun reflects on its metal, but not on the other ones?

09:09Meanwhile, it was Johnny's seventh birthday,

09:12and the family decided to celebrate with a picnic at the park.

09:16The entire family was there, including the two dogs, Luke and Obi-Wan.

09:23During a game of throw and catch, Luke went missing.

09:26The family searched the nearby woods but couldn't find their pet.

09:30That's when they decided to call the police office.

09:33The police listened attentively to each family member's account.

09:38The dad said that he had seen Luke chase a squirrel deeper into the woods.

09:43Mom said she had heard Luke barking from the riverbank.

09:47Emma, Johnny's sister, said she had heard Luke barking from the meadow.

09:52Ethan, Johnny's older brother, said he could have sworn seeing Luke head toward the park's old bridge.

09:58Based on each one of the family member's accounts,

10:02where should the police officer look for the dog first?

10:15He should start at the old bridge.

10:18Ethan was the only one who gave a specific direction to where the dog might have headed,

10:23so that's probably the police's best guess for now.

10:27Oh, look, there's Luke.

10:29He has a unique bark.

10:30Darth, Darth.
