0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Every day when you're walkin' down the street

0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Everybody that you meet

0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Has an original point of view

0:00:10 > 0:00:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!

0:00:13 > 0:00:17# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

0:00:17 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other

0:00:21 > 0:00:23# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street

0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!

0:00:28 > 0:00:32# Get together and make things better by working together

0:00:32 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:37 > 0:00:41# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:41 > 0:00:46- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:46 > 0:00:51# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:51 > 0:00:57# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hey! DW!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Contrary to popular belief, I don't take getting As for granted.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12My mum puts them on the refrigerator, just like other kids.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18'And just like other kids,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20'all of the refrigerators are kept in my secret warehouse,

0:01:20 > 0:01:24'where they are hermetically sealed, and stored in chronological order.'

0:01:24 > 0:01:28So, as you can see, just because I never make a mistake doesn't mean...

0:01:28 > 0:01:30GROWLING

0:01:30 > 0:01:35Hey! Nothing to see behind that sheet! No! Please, don't look!

0:01:35 > 0:01:37It's my only failure!

0:01:45 > 0:01:49I'll repeat the question. Obadiah makes 24 pairs of shoes.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51He makes three kinds of shoes -

0:01:51 > 0:01:55clogs, sandals and pumps, in equal quantity.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57How many pairs of clogs will he make?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Can Obadiah make sneakers?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03That is irrelevant. Now, concentrate.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Well?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Octopus! I mean, 52?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Oh...Brain?

0:02:15 > 0:02:168.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18That is correct.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Buster, you may want to review division before the upcoming

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Arithmattack competition.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Or as I like to call it, the Brain Wins Again competition.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30This year, we'll be doing something a little different.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Instead of competing individually,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35you will be in randomly assigned teams.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40And the first team is... Brain, Binky and Buster.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45So, are you nervous? It's going to be tough being on Brain's team.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47He could lose this year!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Brain doesn't care about a silly math award.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52You may have beaten me twice before but this year,

0:02:52 > 0:02:55you're facing the Wizardly Order of the Fourth Grade.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Prepare to be divided and conquered.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Over my dead calculator!

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Brain's Binomials are going to turn your team into a null set!

0:03:05 > 0:03:12- Hi, guys. Buster, why are you buttering your hand?- Huh? Oh...

0:03:14 > 0:03:17That Prunella thinks she's got this contest in the bag.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well, we'll just see about that!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22We will? I don't know if you've noticed this, Brain,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- but I'm terrible at math. - Don't worry!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'll tutor you after school.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31OK. Thanks, Brain! I think what gives me the most trouble is...

0:03:31 > 0:03:34There are lots of study techniques I've been dying to try out!

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Like the Number Cruncher.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40It's a new fusion of sit-ups and arithmetic.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46OK, Buster. First off, drink this algae and fish oil smoothie.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47It's brain food.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Since this is our first study session together, I thought

0:03:51 > 0:03:53we'd go easy, just five hours.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- BUSTER SPLUTTERS - Five hours?!- Don't worry!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58We'll study in short bursts,

0:03:58 > 0:04:00and you'll get a bathroom break at hour four.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03You might want to slow down with that smoothie.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Now, which do you have the most trouble with?

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Word problems, graphs, or sequencing?- Yes.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- I see we will need to start at the beginning.- Good.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Because what really gives me the most trouble is...

0:04:15 > 0:04:20History Of Math from A Squared To Infinity! It's pretty riveting.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Did you know, the Babylonians may have used the Pythagorean Theorem

0:04:24 > 0:04:26thousands of years before the Greeks?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30You want me to study for a math contest by reading a history book?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Of course not.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36I also want you to do 20 other exercises. Let's get cracking!

0:04:44 > 0:04:45BRAIN MOUTHS

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Nice study session, Buster!

0:05:03 > 0:05:09- But tomorrow, I'm not going to take it so easy on you.- Oooh...

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Pi is 3.14159...

0:05:13 > 0:05:17There's a mathematician somewhere in that boy, and I'm going to find him.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23The Lifetime Achievement Award for Mathematics goes to...

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Brain!

0:05:26 > 0:05:27Thank you, Professor.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30But all of my awards mean nothing compared to my greatest

0:05:30 > 0:05:34accomplishment - my pupil, Buster Baxter.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39Behold, as he takes on Robo Count, the world's most sophisticated

0:05:39 > 0:05:43supercomputer! Calculate the circumference of the universe.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Done!

0:05:49 > 0:05:50He's correct!

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Ha! Oh, Brain. You're a pedagogical genius.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05The answer is...

0:06:05 > 0:06:06Five and a third?

0:06:06 > 0:06:08That is correct.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10The Wizardly Order of the Fourth Grade wins

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- and makes it through to the finals on Monday.- Booyah!

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Let's bring out our next two teams.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Brain's Binomials...

0:06:19 > 0:06:22and Steve's Square Roots.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Uh, 31? - I'm sorry, but that is incorrect.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30The next question goes to Buster.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Just remember what we worked on.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Joey gets his allowance every day. On Monday he gets two cents.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39On Tuesday he...

0:06:39 > 0:06:44VOICE FADES

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Buster? Are you all right?

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Yes, fine. The answer is...

0:06:57 > 0:07:003.14159265.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I'm sorry, that is incorrect.- Oh!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Brain's Binomials are not disqualified yet.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10They still have a chance if Binky gets the next one right.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Binky, are you ready? - Huh? Me already?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Hold this.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18What is the square root of 49?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- 7!- That is correct.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Brain's Binomials win the round

0:07:27 > 0:07:31and will face the Wizardly Order in the finals on Monday.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34You did it! That was amazing. Oh, here.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Eh, keep it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41You're going to lose so bad,

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- you won't know your prime numbers from your integers.- Oh, yeah?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I hope you're good at adding negative numbers,

0:07:47 > 0:07:51because that what your score is going to be.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- Have you seen Buster?- Um... I think he had a dentist appointment.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Can I have some salt, please? - Buster!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02What are you doing under the table?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Oh, I misplaced my lunch. Here it is!

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Sneaky lasagne.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09You don't have to hide from me.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- I'm not upset you got the question wrong.- You're not?- No.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's my fault. I haven't been pushing you hard enough.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- If you push me any harder, my head will explode.- Here.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22We're going to try some mistake aversion therapy.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Every time you get a question wrong,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27I dump a glass of water on your head.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29You're missing the point! What really gives me trouble is...

0:08:29 > 0:08:31What's 52 ¸ 4?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I don't know! 12?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You may be the two-time Arithmattack champion,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41but you're a terrible tutor!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47CROWD CHEERS

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Thank you, Professor!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50But all of my awards mean nothing

0:08:50 > 0:08:52compared to my greatest accomplishment,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55my pupil, Buster Baxter.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- All right, Buster, I'd like you to calculate...- Calculate?!

0:08:59 > 0:09:07Buster no calculate! Buster no like numbers! Numbers bad!

0:09:11 > 0:09:14DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:14 > 0:09:19- Ah! Binky! - We're going for a walk.- Um...

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Mum, tell Arthur he can have my Dark Bunny remote-control buggy.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- You know why I brought you here? - Do I want to know?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Last year, I had a lot of trouble with math too.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Sometimes I'd be in such a daze,

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'd bang my head on this jungle gym.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Huh.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I always wondered how that got there.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Brain's tutoring hasn't worked for you so far, has it?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48He's tried his best,

0:09:48 > 0:09:51but he just doesn't understand that what really gives me trouble is...

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Your multiplication tables. - How did you know?!

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Because I've been there!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Want to know how I finally figured them out?

0:09:59 > 0:10:03One day, I was at home watching TV.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06It was ballet, an Italian troupe called I Piedi Grandi.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11They weren't very good, but there was nothing else on.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14So I continued watching and I started counting them,

0:10:14 > 0:10:16and that's when it hit me.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19There were two rows of them and four dancers in each row,

0:10:19 > 0:10:22so two times four was eight!

0:10:22 > 0:10:25So now, instead of thinking of numbers

0:10:25 > 0:10:29when Mr Ratburn gives me a problem, I imagine little dancers.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33But I'm not into dancing. The only dance I know is the Hokey Pokey.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38- You've got to find out what works for you, Buster.- I like cake.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42OK, it's a little strange, but we can work with it.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Let's say you have three cakes and they all have three layers.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I want you to imagine them.

0:10:47 > 0:10:53I can see them right in front of me. Look at all those layers!

0:10:54 > 0:10:56The score is tied.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00This year's Arithmattack Award will be decided by this final question.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03The question goes to Buster Baxter.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11Don't worry. I tutored him real good.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15OK, Buster. This one is a multiplication question.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18What is 12 x 3?

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Ah! Is it...

0:11:27 > 0:11:2836?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31That is correct!

0:11:34 > 0:11:37How could Binky have been a better tutor than me?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Math is one of my best subjects.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42I needed someone who struggled, like me.

0:11:42 > 0:11:47- But if you want, I can teach you how to be a better tutor.- Really?- Sure!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50There are some new techniques I've been dying to try out,

0:11:50 > 0:11:52like the Tutor Router.

0:11:52 > 0:11:57First, we scrub your ears with vinegar, then, you clean my room...
