[Cut to Ten's Place, where Twenty-One through Twenty-Four are working out]
Twenty-One, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, and Twenty-Four: [Panting from running]
Ten: Count your tens!
Twenty-One, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, and Twenty-Four: One ten! Two tens! Twenty!
Ten: Count your ones!
Twenty-One: One!
Twenty-Two: One, Two!
Twenty-Three: One, Two, Three!
Twenty-Four: One, Two, Three, Four!
Ten: Count it out! Tens and ones!
Twenty-One, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, and Twenty-Four: Ten, twenty! Twenty-One!
Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, and Twenty-Four: Twenty-Two!
Twenty-Three & Twenty-Four: Twenty-Three!
Twenty-Four: Twenty-Four!
Twenty-One, Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, and Twenty-Four: Whohoo!
Twenty-Four: I wonder if we’ll ever figure ourselves out like you, Twenty-Two.
Twenty-One: Ooo, can I help? I love exploring numbers and I know just the place!
[Cut to Rectangle Retreat]
Twelve: Prime positions. Wide and tall and more. Switch! Turn! Switch! Turn! Ah, hello friends! Welcome to the rectangle retreat!
Twenty-One: Seeing what rectangles a number can make really helps figure them out.
Twenty-Two: Totally! When I found out I make a 2 by 11 rectangle, I knew at once I was a-
Red & Blue Elevens: Gang of 2 halves! Result!
Twenty-Four: Wow, Twelve! You can make lots of rectangles!
Twelve: I’m a super rectangle. I can make different rectangles all day long!
Eighteen: And it takes all day at that rate. Some of us super rectangles like to go a little more... speedily! Ah! 1 by 18, 2 by 9, 3 by 6, 6 by 3, 9 by 2, 18 by 1! How rectangly is that? Psst, the answer you’re looking for is “Very rectangly, indeedly!”.
Twenty-One: Do you think you can help Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four find their rectangles?
Twelve: We’d love too! All we need is some-
Eighteen: Mats!
Twelve: And a couple of blank-
Eighteen: Scrolls! [More intense] Let’s do this thing!
Twelve: First, find your prime positions. That’s as wide then as tall as you can go. Stretch out! Wide as you can.
Twenty-Three: 23 by 1. I made a rectangle! A really wide one.
Twelve: Now reach up! Touch the sky!
Twenty-Four: 1 by 24! A tall thin rectangle! That’s two so far. Can I make more?
Twelve: Let’s find out! Bend over and touch your toes. Do you make a rectangle when you're 2 blocks wide?
Twenty-Four: Ooo. I can! I’m 2 by 12!
Twenty-Three: I can’t. Nevermind, it’s lots of fun!
Twelve: Now try 3 blocks wide. Then 4, then 5 until you're back at your prime position again!
Twenty-Four: 3 wide, rectangle! 4 wide, rectangle! 5 wide- Awwwww... I was doing so well...
Twenty-Three: I wouldn’t worry about it, Twenty-Four. I’ve not made any rectangles apart from my prime positions.
Eighteen: Keep going! You haven’t lived until you’ve tried--Turn!--6 wide!
Twenty-Three: No.
Twenty-Four: Ooo, yes! 6 by 4! So many rectangles already!
Eighteen: Now 7 wide. 8!
Twenty-Three & Twenty-Four: No.
Twenty-Three: No.
Twenty-Four: Yes! Yes again! 8 by 3!
Eighteen: There's no stopping you!
Twenty-Four: No. No. No. Don’t give up, Twenty-Four. Keep going! Yes! 12 by 2. And...24 by 1! My wide prime position.
Eighteen: So.. many.. rectangles! Blblblb-- That’s even more than we can make, sis!
Twelve: We might need to find a bigger name than “super rectangle”!
Twenty-Four: That’s it! I’ve figured myself out!
Twenty-Four: I'm Twenty-Four, and I'm a super-duper rectangle! Check out my array display! Turn! Switch! Turn! Switch! Turn! Switch! I can make rectangles...
[She splits into two Twelves]
Twelve: All day...
Twelve: ...and all night, too!
Twenty-One: How did you get on, Twenty-Three?
Twenty-Three: Just my prime positions. That's all.
Eighteen: [Zooms up] Are you sure? All those blocks, no other rectangles anywhere? How remarkabable!
Twenty-Three: It feels right somehow. Some numbers are very rectangly, and some are... not very rectangly. And that's okay. I figured myself out.
Twenty-Three: I'm Twenty-Three, and I'm happy being me.
Twenty-Two: And at the end of the day, you can't say fairer than that!
