Barry Kripke有超级计算机，Sheldon想用，于是试图与他交朋友，没想到被拒绝了。于是转头就研究起自己讨人喜欢的素质，还对朋友们发放了长达211道题的问卷，甚至要求写作文。这一切都不能解决问题，他去书店找相关的书，结果在儿童区和小女孩搭讪起来，幸好被Leonard及时拉走了。
Sheldon着手研究交友算法，寻找与Barry的共同兴趣，最后勉为其难地跟着对方去攀岩，克服巨大恐惧攀到一半，往下看了一眼便吓得不敢动了，只好晕过去，让绳子吊着自己。
Barry终于答应交友跟他回来吃饭，Sheldon还考虑到精力有限不能维持过多的友谊，以Raj答错一题为由开除了Raj的朋友身份。没想到Barry表示不能借他用那个超级计算机，Sheldon立即把准备给他吃的饺子抢回给Raj，当场恢复Raj的朋友身份。
