Odd Squad is a television show that follows the lives of child agents who work for an organization that solves odd problems using math. In season 1 episode 32, titled "Not So Splash / By the Book," the agents are tasked with solving two different odd problems.
In the first part of the episode, "Not So Splash," the agents are called to investigate a pool that has suddenly lost all of its water. Upon arriving at the pool, they find that all of the pool equipment has gone missing and the pool has been drained. The agents must work quickly to figure out what happened to the pool and how to fix it before the deadline.
As they investigate, the agents discover that the pool had been drained as part of a prank orchestrated by one of the pool's lifeguards, who wanted to play a joke on a fellow lifeguard. The prank went too far, and the lifeguard caused damage to the pool's equipment, resulting in the water draining out.
Using their math skills, the agents are able to determine the cost of the damages and work with the lifeguard to repair the equipment and refill the pool. With their problem solved, the agents move on to the second part of the episode.
In "By the Book," the agents are called to investigate a library where books are disappearing from the shelves. Upon arriving, they find that one of the librarians has been deleting books from the library's collection and hiding them in her office. The agents must work quickly to figure out why the librarian is removing books and how to stop her before she removes any more.
As they investigate, the agents work together to analyze the library's catalog and determine which books have gone missing. They also discover that the librarian has been removing books that she believes are not appropriate for children to read.
Using their math skills, the agents devise a plan to stop the librarian from removing any more books while still allowing her to have a say in the library's collection. With the problem solved, the agents leave the library knowing that they have helped to ensure that everyone has access to the books they need and want to read.
Overall, "Not So Splash / By the Book" is a fun and engaging episode of Odd Squad that showcases the agents' problem-solving skills and their ability to work together as a team.
