Thirty-Fifth Theory [Voice]

[Donatello has been 98.7% certain that this rather bizarre experiment has passed him by, as he remained snug and warm in House 55, in accordance with the semi-natural hibernal habits of mutated terrapins. As he reflects on the past few days, though, he notices that the frequency with which his brothers have been informing him that he is spouting excessive quantities of facts and data is statistically unprecedented. He decides to test a theory.]

Someone ask me a question.

((Don's effect is that he's even more of a super-brain than usual. Please test the mun's research abilities.))

Tell me about it.

[ she's not a reader. ]

Ask something more specific and I will.

Best way to get red wine out of a cashmere sweater?

Try some white wine.

...Seriously? That seems a little -- counterintuitive.

Isn't it? But try it; it works.

So why all the question-requesting?

I'm doing an experiment of my own. You're helping a lot.

And just what conclusion are you looking for?

The right one.

[Okay fine.] I'm trying to find out if I'm affected by - whatever's going on this week.

And the answer so far? I mean -- how does people asking you all kinds of things help you figure that out?

Because I think the effect is that I'm smarter. And so far the answer is I am.

Quick. What's thirteen times eight?

A hundred and four.

[ she has to scribble the math out twice, but... ] Uh, yeah! That's right.

But that's easy. Give me another one.

One thousand and three divided by six?

One six seven point one six repeating.

And I'd need a calculator to check if you were right.

I'm pretty sure I am. [He knows he is, but it would be rude to show off. Apparently mental math is not among Buffy's many talents.]

There's gotta be some limits to the knowledge, though. Like -- oh! What goes best with red pumps?

... Red pipes?

Pumps, Don. Pumps.

What kind of pumps are we talking about?

The kicking kind. Shoes.
