- So it's like 3 1/2 pinkies.
- 3 1/2 pinkies.
So what's half of 3 1/2 pinkies?
Why am I helping you?
- First of all, are we doing math? (laughs)
- What's up, I'm Kevin,
and today I'm challenging my co-workers
to see who can cut a piece of paper perfectly in half.
Closest to the center gets a hundred dollars.
It's the Perfect Cut Challenge.
(eagle screech) - Perfect Cut Challenge!
- Welcome to the Perfect Cut Challenge.
- Perfect Cut?
- Yeah.
- I don't see scissors.
- Do you know what that means?
- I'm going to cut somethin' real nice.
- You are wearing a lot of red today.
- I felt very red-dy for this challenge.
- Okay, leave the puns to me,
thank you. (laughter)
- My mom's a good cutter.
- There's a lot of pressure on you right now.
- Yeah.
- If your mother was that good
- Gotta make my family proud.
- Oh boy, I would not want to be in your shoes.
So all you have to do
is take this perfectly normal sheet
of 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
- Yup.
- And cut it perfectly in half.
- What's the catch?
- You're good, Shelby.
- I'm guessing I can't fold it?
- Nope.
- Can I use a table as a marker of some sort, like this?
- I'm gonna say no.
Next, you only get one shot.
- Okay.
- No do-overs.
Mmkay?
Oh, and last thing:
You gotta use kid scissors.
- (gasp) Oh, you disrespectful now.
- I didn't expect that.
- That's why it's the Perfect Cut Challenge.
(eagle screech) - Perfect Cut Challenge!
- The person who gets the closest to a perfect half,
gets a hundred dollars
cash money (cash register sound effect)
out of my wallet.
- Oh.
My.
God.
- From your wallet?
- From my personal wallet. - I don't want that money
if it's not from your wallet.
- So you just carry-- (snicker)
- Yeah, I just carry a hundred dollars
in my pocket because that's
the kind of money I got. - That's dangerous.
- You know what I could do with that money?
- What are you doing to do with it?
- Tacos, baby.
- Gotta get that taco money, son.
- I'd probably just give it to my son.
I don't know. - Aw.
- You see that-- - Shhh.
- You see how nice that is? - Just take it.
Hundred dollars on the table,
are you ready for the Perfect Cut Challenge?
- I am ready for the Perfect Cut Challenge.
(eagle screeching) - Perfect Cut Challenge.
- So what's your strategy?
- Ummm
Go slow, I think is the strategy.
- [Kevin] Okay. - Yeah.
- Do you have steady hands?
- I do not, but I'm gonna just,
I'm gonna meditate, and then I got this.
- Okay, we don't have all day.
- So we're gonna figure out where the middle point is.
- That would help. - Can I flip it over?
That didn't help.
- Yeah (laughs)
- What the heck?
(Kevin laughs)
- I'll line it up with this corner over here,
and then I'm gonna use my thumb for measurements.
- Okay.
- I kinda wanna use my hand.
- Okay.
- [Bekki] Oh yeah, see if I go there to there,
and then I'm gonna make a little mark here.
- What are you doing? - I don't know--
- What is this? - I don't know,
I'm just trying.
- Oh you're coming from the top down.
- I think that's an easier way to see the center.
- Okay, this is two, three
three fat hands big
- Oh, it doesn't look even-- - Jada, we don't have all day
- Okay, fine.
- So this is my technique.
- Talk me through it. - Hopefully it works
with this paper cause I did it with wrapping paper, but--
- [Kevin] I know what you're gonna do
- Oh god, I've made a--
I've made a cut.
- [Kevin] No turning back.
- Oh god.
- Are you sure?
Are you sure?
- Yes.
- [Kevin] Oh, okay.
- [Adam] I'm making the cut.
- It's not working though.
I thought I was gonna do this really well.
- What are you gonna do,
Kaylin? - It's not working!
- Are you nervous?
- Yeah, cause I wanna get it right.
Who doesn't wanna be right?
- This is gonna take 16 years.
It's like watching bread rise.
- Seems-- - [Kevin] A lot of people
are, like, trying to measure and stuff like that.
- [D'Vaughn] Eh-- - [Kevin] D'Vaughn!
- I'm not that committed to this.
- All right, wow, that was so good.
- Ya think?
- [Spenser] Those look pretty good, I think.
- Oh no, geez. - No, we messed up,
we messed up, we messed up.
- [Kevin] What are you doing, Jasmine?
- I'm-- (hysterical laughing)
- Why the hell am I making faces as I'm cutting this,
I'm not sure
- Yes.
- [Joyce] Okay
- [Kevin] All right
- [Joyce] I don't think it's perfect
(dramatic sighs of relief)
- That was a journey!
- [Jasmine] Oh my god.
This is not bad.
- Wow
- [Adam] All right. - [Kevin] Very decisive.
How d'you think you did?
- [Gian] Not so well (laughs) - I think I did pretty well.
I mean, I'm sure there's this slight curve,
but I think overall
I think I've made two pretty even pieces.
- [Kevin] What do you think?
- It's not straight, neither am I.
- Oh wait, I just got that.
Cool. - Yeah.
- Cool. - Yeah.
- This is the overlay. - Ah!
- And the overlay is perfect,
the overlay does not lie.
- Oh god.
- The red line?
- The red line. - Why are there those
cross lines?
- I dunno, I just wanted to make it look cool.
- Okay.
- So you're gonna be judged by the side
that has your name on it.
- Oh, what?!
Why didn't you tell me that?
- What does it matter? - I would have cared more
about this side because I feel like
that side's better.
- I'm gonna line it up
with the clean edges
What are you doing? - I'm just gonna--
- Stop it. Stop it.
- [Jake] It's different. - [Kevin] You made it worse.
Listen, I'm the judge, okay?
- (laughs) Okay, okay-- - All right?
- Whoa, this is pretty (bleep) good!
- Okay, Kevin!
- [Kevin] Whoa!
- (screams) Look at it!
- Whoa!
That's probably the best so far.
- Oh, yeah!
- It's not a disaster, but it's not great.
- It's not great.
- (gasps) Wow.
It's payday!
Can I get some money?
- I mean, it was,
it's not a perfect cut,
but I'm okay with it.
- You're okay with it? Cause I'm not.
- Oh my god, it's so good.
- [Kevin] Oh wow.
- It's beautiful.
- Shelby.
- It's beautiful. - [Kevin] Shelby!
- Did I win? Did I win?
- You gave it a valiant effort,
but you didn't do great.
- You know what, I'll go home and practice
and-- - Yes, please do.
- Next time I'll come back ready to win
- We will never do this again.
(eagle screeching) - Perfect Cut Challenge.
- Okay, so the top three contenders
are Adam, D'Vaughn and George.
D'Vaughn did very well
but this little bit up here may have cost her.
Adam did real well.
Adam got real close.
George started off right of center
but then pretty much hit dead center for the second half,
but I think his deviation in the beginning
is more than Adam's overall deviation.
Looks like Adam's our winner,
let's go give him this money.
- [Kevin] Adam.
- Yes.
Oh my.
- Congratulations.
- I did it?
- You won the Perfect Cut Challenge.
- Oh, amazing!
- Look at it.
$100 cash money.
- Thank you very much. - Congratulations.
- [Adam] Thank you.
- [Kevin] Any words of wisdom?
- [Adam] Um, slow and steady?
- [Kevin] Slow and steady wins the race,
and also your art degree.
- [Adam] Yeah, it has meaning now.
- [Kevin] That's good.
