Summary[]
In the update of Reducing Fractions, Moby accidentally shrunk Tim's book while he's reading. Instead, he answers a letter.
Tim brings a "16/24" on the table. But when Moby zaps it, it is now a "2/3" on the table.
Tim remembers when he ordered a pizza last week.
At the end, Moby accidentally shrunk Tim as well. "Gee, thanks a lot. Crazy robot!" Tim said using his helium voice.

16 twenty fourths = 2 thirds (which Moby's shrink ray divided the fractions themselves)
3 sixths = 1 half of a pizza with ball-bearings and screws
12 and 20 (12 twenties) divided by 4 = 3 and 5 (3 fifths)
4 and 14 (4 fourteenths) divided by 2 = 2 and 7 (2 sevenths)
