"The Ten-Per-Cent Solution" is the 8th episode of the 23rd season of the long-running animated sitcom, The Simpsons. In this episode, Krusty the Clown is experiencing some financial troubles and hires a new agent named Annie to help him get back on his feet. With the help of Annie, Krusty is able to secure a lucrative deal with a popular children's network, but he quickly learns that the contract requires him to make some changes to his show - changes that make him question his own comedic values.

Meanwhile, Bart becomes obsessed with a Japanese card game called "Battle Ball" and starts collecting the game's cards. When Lisa sees how into the game Bart is, she becomes worried and tries to intervene, even going as far as to disguise herself as a "Battle Ball" character to try and dissuade Bart from playing. However, when Lisa discovers the game for herself, she becomes just as obsessed as Bart and the two siblings end up battling it out in an epic "Battle Ball" showdown.

Elsewhere, Marge becomes concerned that Homer is spending too much time on his new hobby - building a robot out of household items. When Homer's robot goes on a rampage and starts destroying the house, Marge decides enough is enough and tries to convince Homer to give up his new hobby.

Overall, "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution" is a fun and entertaining episode that explores the themes of obsession and staying true to oneself in the face of financial gain. As always, The Simpsons delivers laughs and heart in equal measure and is a must-watch for fans of the series.
