Teased at the Brain

*[Shows SpongeBob’s Pineapple]*

*[The mailman's car pulls up, then the mailman get out of the car and puts a package into the mailbox. The mailman then gets back to his car and drives away. SpongeBob then comes out of his house, get a box out of the mailbox and rips it open to reveal 2 pieces of curly metal wire that are tangled together.]*

**SpongeBob**: Oh boy! My brain teaser puzzle! It has arrived!

*[Squidward pops out of his window on his house]*

**Squidward**: Oh boy, SpongeBrat is out.

**SpongeBob**: Oh hey, Squidward!

*[Squidward goes back into his house and he is heard playing his clarinet. Then Patrick's rock opens out and Patrick is seen on the bottom of the rock.]*

**Patrick**: Oh hey! Uhh... SquareBob?

*[SpongeBob laughs]*

**SpongeBob**: Pat, do you want to see my new brain teaser.

**Patrick**: Bob, do you remember? My brain hates being teased!

*[Patrick points up to his forehead and his forehead is shown with a mouth]*

**Patrick's forehead**: I don’t like to be teased!

*[Patrick's forehead starts to cry]*

**SpongeBob**: It's not really teasing you, it just is to exercise your brain and to have fun!

**Patrick**: Well can I then solve it with a side of extravagant, salty, cheesy nachos?

**SpongeBob**: Sure! *[Gives Pat the puzzle and some nachos]*

**Patrick**: Yay!

*[Bubble transition]*

*[Pat is at his house with SpongeBob trying to the puzzle]*

**Patrick**: SpongeBob, this is rigged like the Toy Cane! Mmm... Sugar canes... Anyway, I can't pull it apart!

**SpongeBob**: Well, that's when thinking comes into play! You to solve this is to think.

*[The word "think" starts to echo in Patrick's mind]*

**Patrick**: Umm... Ink. *[Pat gets an idea]* I can use brain tools!

**SpongeBob**: There are no such thing as "brain tools."

**Patrick**: Now there are such thing! *[Sponge sighs]*

*[Bubble transition]*

*[Rick is seen dumping a handful of sand and a tool on a pile of the same composition]*

**Patrick**: And that's all of my brain tools!

**SpongeBob**: That's just a pile of—

**Patrick**: Brain tools! *[SpongeBob sighs]* Now to use the first tool in line!

*[Patrick picks up the puzzle off the floor and puts it on a chair. Pat then takes a handful of sand from the pile and throws it at the puzzle, a cloud of sand covers the two of them as they cough in it. The cloud then goes away and the puzzle is still there, Pat sighs in disappointment.]*

**Patrick**: How about some hammering!

*[He hits the puzzle with a hammer several times, but nothing happens]*

**SpongeBob**: You know what we need? Some help!

**Patrick**: Kelp? We for sure need some kelp!

*[He gets out of his house, with SpongeBob and he goes to Squidward's house]*

**Patrick**: SQUIDWARD!

*[Squidward gets out of a window on his house]*

**Squidward**: WHAT?!?!

**Patrick**: I NEED SOME HELP!

**Squidward**: Hmmmmmm.... How about a... NO!

*[Squidward closes the clarinet and he is heard playing a clarinet]*

**Patick**: Aww...

**SpongeBob**: It is okay Pat, s-

**Patrick**: Oh! I know what to do!

*[He gets out a chainsaw, turns it on and contact it with the puzzle, but it quickly explodes, covering Patrick in ash]*

**Patrick**: This calls for better and better-er measures!

*[He goes off-screen and SpongeBob sighs]*

*[Bubble transition]*

**Patrick**: Here goes nothing!

*[Pat with a lit match lights a fuse which goes to a pack of dynamite which is attached to the puzzle. Then there is an explosion, then Patrick goes out to the crater and sees that the puzzle is still there.]*

**Patrick**: Aw, barnacles! I didn't know we had to go this far...

*[The screen switches to inside of the Chum Bucket. Plankton and Spot are seen walk on the floor. Plankton then is seen shocked.]*

**Plankton**: What the? But my Death Ray That Can Disintegrate Anything shouldn't be gone!

**Karen**: *[off-screen]* Well, you don't really keep track of any of your inventions.

**Plankton**: Good point.

*[The screen goes back to Patrick, who is pushing the death ray]*

**Patrick**: With this machine, this unsolvable puzzle with be solved no matter what!

*[He points it to the puzzle, turns it on and sets it to maximum power. The ray explodes and a live-action explosion is shown. Patrick is then seen on the floor.]*

**Patrick**: Did it work?

*[SpongeBob points to the puzzle]*

**Patrick**: AW, BARNACLES!!

*[He picks up the puzzle]*

**Patrick**: I will bring you to the smartest pants in the ocean!

*[He goes to Sandy's Treedome, with SpongeBob following. When he gets in, he grabs a ray gun and shoots it at the puzzle.]*

**Sandy**: Woah, Pat! Don't! Stop!

*[He drops the ray gun]*

**Patrick**: Oh.

**SpongeBob**: Sandy, he wants to solve the puzzle.

**Patrick**: Um, yea.

**Sandy**: *[She takes the puzzle and examines it]* Hmmm, it seems to be a level "Z minus," which means it is the easier of all.

**Patrick**: Oh! Let me try! *[He tries to pull it apart]*

**Sandy**: No, no, no. You got to slowly pull it apart in a way. Just think.

*[The word "think" starts to echo in his mind. In his brain, the gears start to turn. He starts to carefully move the puzzle until it is in two.]*

**Patrick**: Wait, did I brake it?

**Sandy**: No, no. You solved it!

**Patrick and SpongeBob**: Yay!

**Sandy**: Pat, if you want to get to "A Plus Plus" Level, I have all of the puzzles in this pile!

**[A pile of puzzles are seen]**

**Patrick**: Oh...
