How Does 2016, in 5 minutes Work?

"How Does 2016, in 5 minutes Work?" is like asking how a big puzzle fits together, but you only get to look at five pieces of it.

Imagine your favorite toy box has a lot of toys inside, cars, blocks, dolls. Each one is from a different year. Now, think about just the toys from 2016, that’s like looking at one piece of the puzzle, and you only get to see it for five minutes.

In those five minutes, you might notice:

  • What kind of toys were popular in 2016 (like a new toy everyone wanted)
  • Who had the most toys (maybe your brother)
  • How many toys there were in total

It’s like taking a quick peek at a big party, you see some people dancing, hear some music, and maybe even grab a snack, but then it's over. You don’t know everything about the whole party, just what you saw in 5 minutes.
