You Can Think Pad

The You Can Think Pad is a device in the Baldi's Basics series.

In Baldi's Basics Plus, it is used to display the advanced map and the pause menu.

In Baldi's Basics Classic, Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, and Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, it is a tablet computer used to teach the player one-digit addition and subtraction.

Description
The You Can Think Pad is a green map tablet with an antenna, a red ellipsoid, and a black screen. This device shows the map, pause screen, and other mechanics.

In Baldi's Basics Classic, Birthday Bash, and Classic Remastered, it appears as a green tablet on a black background with a purple ellipsoid on the top left corner of it. It has an antenna on the top right corner of it. In the top center, there is text saying "Comic Sans MS" in navy. On the bottom left corner, Baldi appears on a small screen to the bottom left of it, but once a problem is answered incorrectly, he makes an angry face and he does not show up when collecting the next notebooks. The "Learn" track that plays during the first two sequences until a wrong answer is given, is played in a two-second loop. There is also a green number pad from the right with small purple buttons with numbers Comic Sans MS-Comic Sans MS, the letter Comic Sans MS to clear the answer entirely, the negative sign (Comic Sans MS), and a big circle button with "Comic Sans MS" text.

The You Can Think Pad will display mechanical features to the game such as the map and the pause menu. This concept was first introduced in Kickstarter Exclusive Demo V1.2. A layout of the You Can Think Pad zooming in is shown when using it.

Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash/Classic Remastered
"Answer the three questions correctly, and you might get something special!"

- Baldi

When the player uses the You Can Think Pad, it has a question and an answer box, both of which are white. The answer box has text that says "Comic Sans MS" in a light gray color. The player has to enter an answer consisting only of numbers, and sometimes a dash (for negative numbers) into the empty box. If they solve the problem correctly by typing in the right answer (or clicking/touching the buttons on the number pad), they get a green check on one of the three boxes on the left. If they answer incorrectly, they get a red cross mark instead.

Upon getting all of the questions right in the first notebook, the You Can Think Pad will display "Comic Sans MS". The last question of the first notebook is normal and can be solved, but the final question for the second notebook and every further notebook (except on Endless Mode) consists of a clumped amount of numbers, making it impossible to answer correctly.

When the player inevitably gets their first question wrong (as a result of the impossible question in the second notebook), the music will stop, and Baldi's smile will slowly turn into an angry frown, before displaying one of two messages on the You Can Think Pad. Both of these messages appear to be threats to scare the player, yet they also give hints to Baldi's behavior. Nothing happens for a few seconds, then the game exits out of the You Can Think Pad.

This is when Baldi starts chasing the player, and the real game begins. In Story Mode, the next notebooks will still have the third impossible question, unlike in Endless Mode, where only the second notebook has an impossible question.

Intentionally or accidentally failing all three questions will cause a unique message to show up, saying, "Comic Sans MS". The message only appears in Story Mode, oddly enough. It will also make Baldi furious, moving abnormally fast for a few moments before gradually calming down and returning to his normal speed.

Other Appearances

 * In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the player can still use the You Can Think Pad from two extra notebooks in the glitched school.
 * In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the You Can Think Pad's size is reduced to be fully seen. The text consists of lowercase letters and the question is moved down slightly. The marks ( and ) have a new design, too. Also, the answer box has no "Comic Sans MS" text and the bottom left screen's background is white instead of black.
 * In Baldi's Basics - Field Trip demo: Camping and Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, the You Can Think Pad is unimplemented.

Trivia

 * General
 * The You Can Think Pad is possibly a reference to the Lenovo ThinkPad and the Casio ClassPad.


 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * The You Can Think Pad's teaching feature was moved to Baldi's Math Machine, as its purpose was changed in this game.
 * The reason for doing this is pausing the game to solve math problems would break the flow and ruin the fun in the game.
 * There is a feature related to the You Can Think Pad called You Thought Points. However, after the function of the You Can Think Pad was changed, it is impossible to earn You Thought Points on this device.
 * Probably, the You Can Think Pad appearing on the Baldi's Basics Plus pause menu is a reference to the fact that Baldi stops moving when using it in Baldi's Basics Classic.
 * In the subtitle file since V0.3.3, there is an unused quote that reads "Comic Sans MS" which will likely be used in Classic Remastered. Also, the "Comic Sans MS" and "Comic Sans MS" quotes are not included.


 * Classic/Birthday Bash
 * Baldi stops moving while the player uses the You Can Think Pad.
 * The "31718" number, along with the You Can Think Pad's corresponding result message, is a reference to the actual date that mystman12 began developing Baldi's Basics Classic - March 17, 2018 (3/17/18).
 * The "53045009" code is "GOOSHOES" upside down. The "goo shoes" is a reference of the Slime Shoes in the 90s.
 * In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the player can find by entering this code, because it teleports them from the glitched school to the lower floor.
 * The secret codes can still be filled in even when the player has answered all three questions in each You Can Think Pad.
 * By adjusting to a certain resolution (4:3), the You Can Think Pad can be seen in full view.


 * Baldi's Basics Classic
 * The You Can Think Pad had a few changes in the updates before V1.4:
 * The You Can Think Pad lacked the number pad from its right side.
 * It originally has a trademark icon (TM) at the end of its name: "Comic Sans MS". This was replaced in the latest update patch.
 * The title's font color was purple rather than navy.
 * Before V1.3, at the beginning of the first (and second, in most cases) notebooks, Baldi said the quotes about the subject and how to use the You Can Think Pad. However, since this update, this only applies to the first notebook the player collects. On the second notebook, these quotes are not used.
 * The texts and marks were not pixelated.
 * PrivacyPolicyUpdate.gif V1.3 was under production, a joke teaser shows the You Can Think Pad with the text "Comic Sans MS".
 * The player can only put numbers in the answer, not letters and symbols (except for the hyphen used for negative numbers).
 * Before V1.4, it was possible to type decimal points/dots in the answer. But since this update, it is no longer possible to type decimals unless the code is modified.
 * The impossible questions were made by overlaying 3 layers of randomized equations on top of each other.
 * In V1.4.1d, the "Comic Sans MS" button could be pressed, even though the answer box is empty.
 * Since V1.4.2, on mobile versions, it can now only be pressed when the answer box is filled.
 * The model of the You Can Think Pad was featured as one of the first digital goodies.
 * Secret codes were first introduced in update V1.4.1.

Glitches

 * Baldi YCTP Classic V1.0.png the first version of Baldi's Basics Classic, if the player answered at least one problem wrong in the first notebook, the text still said "Comic Sans MS" instead of the threatening messages. The same thing applied to the other notebooks, where this text overlapped the math problem.
