In this math based episode, LeVar spends time in New York City's Central Park where he takes viewers in an orienteering excursion using a map and a compass to find special flags placed around the park. We also travel to the Philadelphia Zoo's newly reconstructed Primate Reserve, where viewers see how architects created their own map of the reserve before it was built.
