So this is from a children's show that airs pretty much every day. The "algorithm march," as it's called, is only one feature on the program called "Pythagoras Switch" (A Rube Goldberg Device (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine)), which basically explains a lot of why Japanese kids' TV is better, in my opinion. I mean, it's a whole show that emphasizes memory, engineering, critical thinking, and general right-brain wellness. Plus, the algorithm March is now some sort of "dance craze" in Japan and elsewhere. I'll have to find a dance club to test this theory, however.
