Adam Savage puts on his shop apron and excitedly discovers a calculator in one of the pockets. He explains that Mark Rober is looking for puzzles to challenge corvids; commonly known as crows or ravens. Rober is demonstrating the intelligence of crows and has asked Adam for an elaborate, Victorian-style birdcage.
Savage explains that the birdcage will be the big finale of a series of puzzles for crows from Mark Rober. He continues, “With anything one builds there’s a million ways to execute it… on the clock for someone else… under a budget of either time or money or materials or tools… I’m going to execute as if I’m working for a theater and it’s almost 2 and they want it by showtime.” Watch Mark Rober’s Nine Puzzles For A Crow.
