Who will win the science fair? Place your bets at the window!

Whenever Parker gets involved with seemingly simple schemes the outcomes always wind up going awry. With the science fair approaching Musso ups the stakes for the winning student (in attempt to win the science fair over El Carado High). Jerry has the most promising project, but the pressure builds until Jerry reaches critical mass. At the same time Pankow's most promising student project also looks bleak. The two then decide to change the bet cater to the school with the lowest placed science project. Parker has to pull a lot of tricks out of his book to help Jerry although he doesn't realize Musso wants the team to fail. The funny nuances in this episode are rampant such as Kubiac trying to create a potato powered flashlight (using potato based products like french fries). Good times :) The only thing I'm left wondering is where did Corin Nemec get his shirts for this show?
