Graph Points, a la Shmoop. You're a Hollywood talent agent. Your only

00:13

client is Mumford the Moose.

00:17

He hasn't worked since a show called Northern Exposure was canceled in the 90s...

00:24

... but he just landed a photo shoot for a calendar gig.

00:30

Speaking of which, Mumford's contract with the Mag, that's "Moose Actor's Guild," specifies

00:38

which parts of the forest he can be photographed in.

00:44

It also specifies that he be fed a daily diet of only blue M&Ms.

00:49

You have to make sure that Mumford is not in violation of the MAG rules, or he'll never

00:56

work in this forest again. Mumford can only be photographed at these

01:02

coordinates:

01:03

3, -2... 2, -3... -4, 3... and -3, -1.

01:11

Take a look at the following four grids and decide if Mumford is complying with his contract.

01:18

Here's the first one, for Mr. July.

01:22

If we look closely, we can see that Mumford's sporting his speedo two spaces to the right

01:28

and three spaces down from the origin, which gives us 2, -3.

01:38

So Mumford is in compliance with this one. Now check out this one, for Mr. October.

01:56

Nope. Mumford is going to have to trick or treat somewhere else...

02:09

He'll need to move one square up to be in compliance with his contract.

02:22

Time for Mr. December. It's Mumford Clause! Yep, he's in the right spot. Looks like Mumford's

02:47

on Santa's nice list this year. Last one. It's Mr. February. Mumford the groundhog.

03:01

Will he see his shadow? Nope, he's in the wrong spot again. Does this

03:19

mean six more weeks of winter?

03:22

He'll have to move two spaces down to be in the right area.

03:36

Make sure to pre-order your Mumford the Moose calendar today! All proceeds go toward the

03:41

Home for Retired Moose Actors.
