The Complexity of Understanding Scientific Experiments

[pointing to head; pointing to chest]
Victor
Yes.
Mr. Rzykruski
Ah. And the second time?
Victor
No. I just wanted it over.
Mr. Rzykruski
Then you changed the variables.

Yeah?

They're not like that at all.

My problem bigger!

Bob
Yeah, he's right.
