Video Summary

Julia starts with one spaghetti noodle, and each break increases the pieces by 2, resulting in only an odd number of pieces. Since every break results in this consistent pattern of increasing by two, she can only reach odd numbers of noodles. Hence, an even number like 20 pieces cannot be achieved starting from one piece. Therefore, the answer is that 20 pieces is the number she cannot get.
