Be careful!
Stop cycling so close.
Chill out.
Whoo!
Oy.
[pants] Ugh.
So Ruth keeps cycling too close to me
and nearly knocking me off my bike.
Will you relax?
You haven't fallen off yet.
Well, it still makes me nervous.
But I've got a solution.
A crazy solution.
That's what we do best.
I'm Ruth.
And I'm Shawn.
And we love inventing crazy solutions to small problems.
And Shawn's problem is he panics when I get too close to him
on my bike.
But I've got a solution.
I want to build a pie-flinging catapult
that I can connect to my bike so I can fire pies at Ruth
whenever she gets too close.
That sounds awesome.
I want one.
But remember, we're professional inventors,
so don't try any of this stuff at home.
Let's build this.
So I want to work out a way to fling pies from my bike
while I'm riding it to stop Ruth from getting too close.
But Shawn can't have all the fun,
so I'm also going to build a pie-flinger for my bike
so we can throw pie at each other.
It's going to get messy.
[music playing]
So these are going to be our pie-flinging devices,
and they are metal frames that have a trigger.
Now, what's going to happen-- we've a few more
bits to add onto this, but when we release our trigger here,
this is going to fling forwards and fire our pie.
Now, we're going to thread this with some elastic
to make that happen.
And we're going to put a plate on the end of there
so our pie can sit on there and get flung at the other person.
And to trigger all of that, we've
got this bike lever, which is going
to sit on the end of our frame.
So we've got our pie-flingers all assembled, and it
works a little bit like this.
We've got our elastic powered plate on a swinging arm.
And that comes down, and we can lock it
into place with our little trigger mechanism.
And this cable goes all the way along here
to our extra bike brake lever that we've put on here.
But this brake isn't doing any braking.
It's going to set off our flinging device, like this.
Whoa!
Wait a minute.
What?
These aren't bicycles.
They're "pie-cycles."
I love that.
[laughter]
Well, they look ready to test.
I think it might be "pie-cycle" time.
Right.
That's it.
It's pie time.
Huh?
[screams]
[laughs]
Oh!
I got pied!
Yes.
This is amazing.
Right.
You've got yourself a pie battle.
Oy.
Ah!
[screams] Such a good shot.
[laughs] I've been pied.
Pies!
I think I've got a little bit on my head.
Mm, cream!
I am so covered in pie.
Me, too.
But I love these "pie-cycles."
They're so much fun.
These are awesome.
And guess what?
What?
This is a crazy solution to a small problem.
(TOGETHER) Yes!
