==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
The intro starts as a match between Mr. Ratburn and the unknown Challenger as announced by Arthur. Francine and Buster were shocked to see the Challenger. | |||
The episode starts with Principal Haney announcing that Mr. Ratburn's class was chosen to test out a whiteboard for two weeks. After Brain helped Mr. Ratburn turned on HUGO, the smartboard, the students asked HUGO several questions. Then, Ratburn tried to read the directions but was unable to do so. Luckily, Brain offered to help him after Mr. Ratburn tried to read the directions. With that, Ratburn accepted Brain's offer, and after school that day, Brain spent some time trying to help Mr. Ratburn; then they manage to go through the manual. Then Brain saw something in the manual that said that HUGO was 100 percent accurate and questions how something can be 100 percent accurate. The next day at school, HUGO said that Mr. Ratburn was incorrect when he mentioned that Jacob Katzenellenbogan was Elwood City's founder because HUGO believed that Francis Wheaton was the actual founder of Elwood City. | |||
But it turned out that Jacob Katzenellenbogan was Elwood City's real founder. Brain did some research on the history of Elwood City and even brought Alfred Katzenellenbogan, the great-nephew of Jacob Katzenellenbogan, to school to reveal a letter that says that his great-uncle was the founder of Elwood City. | |||
After HUGO was proven wrong by the evidence Brain presented, HUGO malfunctioned. Ratburn asked if Alfred Katzenellenbogan would mind telling the class about Elwood City in its earlier days, which Alfred Katzenellenbogan was more than glad to do. | |||
