Finding the Common Beat | Cyberchase

In this video segment from Cyberchase, The CyberSquad is trying to figure out the patterns followed by each of four musicians who play a song together. They start by charting the pattern of each instrument, and in doing so they use their knowledge of factors. After testing a few possibilities, they are able to successfully find the pattern that represents the song. Watch "Performance by Music of the Spheres" to hear the whole song performed by the musicians.
