# Every day when you're walkin' down the street

0:00:020:00:04

# Everybody that you meet

0:00:040:00:07

# Has an original point of view

0:00:070:00:10

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

0:00:100:00:13

# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

0:00:130:00:17

# And get along with each other

0:00:170:00:21

# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:210:00:23

# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street

0:00:230:00:26

# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!

0:00:260:00:28

# Get together and make things better by working together

0:00:280:00:32

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:320:00:37

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:370:00:41

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:410:00:46

# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:460:00:51

# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:510:00:57

Hey! DW!

0:00:570:00:58

-Hey!

-Whoa!

0:01:000:01:02

Contrary to popular belief, I don't take getting As for granted.

0:01:050:01:09

My mum puts them on the refrigerator, just like other kids.

0:01:090:01:12

'And just like other kids,

0:01:160:01:18

'all of the refrigerators are kept in my secret warehouse,

0:01:180:01:20

'where they are hermetically sealed, and stored in chronological order.'

0:01:200:01:24

So, as you can see, just because I never make a mistake doesn't mean...

0:01:240:01:28

GROWLING

0:01:280:01:30

Hey! Nothing to see behind that sheet! No! Please, don't look!

0:01:300:01:35

It's my only failure!

0:01:350:01:37

I'll repeat the question. Obadiah makes 24 pairs of shoes.

0:01:450:01:49

He makes three kinds of shoes -

0:01:490:01:51

clogs, sandals and pumps, in equal quantity.

0:01:510:01:55

How many pairs of clogs will he make?

0:01:550:01:57

Can Obadiah make sneakers?

0:01:570:02:00

That is irrelevant. Now, concentrate.

0:02:000:02:03

Well?

0:02:080:02:09

Octopus! I mean, 52?

0:02:090:02:12

Oh...Brain?

0:02:120:02:15

8.

0:02:150:02:16

That is correct.

0:02:160:02:18

Buster, you may want to review division before the upcoming

0:02:180:02:21

Arithmattack competition.

0:02:210:02:23

Or as I like to call it, the Brain Wins Again competition.

0:02:230:02:28

This year, we'll be doing something a little different.

0:02:280:02:30

Instead of competing individually,

0:02:300:02:33

you will be in randomly assigned teams.

0:02:330:02:35

And the first team is... Brain, Binky and Buster.

0:02:350:02:40

So, are you nervous? It's going to be tough being on Brain's team.

0:02:410:02:45

He could lose this year!

0:02:450:02:47

Brain doesn't care about a silly math award.

0:02:470:02:49

You may have beaten me twice before but this year,

0:02:490:02:52

you're facing the Wizardly Order of the Fourth Grade.

0:02:520:02:55

Prepare to be divided and conquered.

0:02:550:02:58

Over my dead calculator!

0:02:580:03:00

Brain's Binomials are going to turn your team into a null set!

0:03:000:03:04

-Hi, guys. Buster, why are you buttering your hand?

-Huh? Oh...

0:03:050:03:12

That Prunella thinks she's got this contest in the bag.

0:03:140:03:17

Well, we'll just see about that!

0:03:170:03:19

We will? I don't know if you've noticed this, Brain,

0:03:190:03:22

-but I'm terrible at math.

-Don't worry!

0:03:220:03:25

I'll tutor you after school.

0:03:250:03:27

OK. Thanks, Brain! I think what gives me the most trouble is...

0:03:270:03:31

There are lots of study techniques I've been dying to try out!

0:03:310:03:34

Like the Number Cruncher.

0:03:340:03:36

It's a new fusion of sit-ups and arithmetic.

0:03:360:03:40

OK, Buster. First off, drink this algae and fish oil smoothie.

0:03:410:03:46

It's brain food.

0:03:460:03:47

Since this is our first study session together, I thought

0:03:470:03:51

we'd go easy, just five hours.

0:03:510:03:53

-BUSTER SPLUTTERS

-Five hours?!

-Don't worry!

0:03:530:03:56

We'll study in short bursts,

0:03:560:03:58

and you'll get a bathroom break at hour four.

0:03:580:04:00

You might want to slow down with that smoothie.

0:04:000:04:03

Now, which do you have the most trouble with?

0:04:030:04:05

-Word problems, graphs, or sequencing?

-Yes.

0:04:050:04:09

-I see we will need to start at the beginning.

-Good.

0:04:090:04:12

Because what really gives me the most trouble is...

0:04:120:04:15

History Of Math from A Squared To Infinity! It's pretty riveting.

0:04:150:04:20

Did you know, the Babylonians may have used the Pythagorean Theorem

0:04:200:04:24

thousands of years before the Greeks?

0:04:240:04:26

You want me to study for a math contest by reading a history book?

0:04:260:04:30

Of course not.

0:04:300:04:32

I also want you to do 20 other exercises. Let's get cracking!

0:04:320:04:36

BRAIN MOUTHS

0:04:440:04:45

Nice study session, Buster!

0:05:010:05:03

-But tomorrow, I'm not going to take it so easy on you.

-Oooh...

0:05:030:05:09

Pi is 3.14159...

0:05:090:05:13

There's a mathematician somewhere in that boy, and I'm going to find him.

0:05:130:05:17

The Lifetime Achievement Award for Mathematics goes to...

0:05:190:05:23

Brain!

0:05:230:05:24

Thank you, Professor.

0:05:260:05:27

But all of my awards mean nothing compared to my greatest

0:05:270:05:30

accomplishment - my pupil, Buster Baxter.

0:05:300:05:34

Behold, as he takes on Robo Count, the world's most sophisticated

0:05:340:05:39

supercomputer! Calculate the circumference of the universe.

0:05:390:05:43

Done!

0:05:460:05:47

He's correct!

0:05:490:05:50

Ha! Oh, Brain. You're a pedagogical genius.

0:05:570:06:02

The answer is...

0:06:020:06:05

Five and a third?

0:06:050:06:06

That is correct.

0:06:060:06:08

The Wizardly Order of the Fourth Grade wins

0:06:080:06:10

-and makes it through to the finals on Monday.

-Booyah!

0:06:100:06:13

Let's bring out our next two teams.

0:06:140:06:16

Brain's Binomials...

0:06:160:06:19

and Steve's Square Roots.

0:06:190:06:22

-Uh, 31?

-I'm sorry, but that is incorrect.

0:06:230:06:27

The next question goes to Buster.

0:06:270:06:30

Just remember what we worked on.

0:06:300:06:34

Joey gets his allowance every day. On Monday he gets two cents.

0:06:340:06:38

On Tuesday he...

0:06:380:06:39

VOICE FADES

0:06:390:06:44

Buster? Are you all right?

0:06:470:06:50

Yes, fine. The answer is...

0:06:500:06:54

3.14159265.

0:06:570:07:00

-I'm sorry, that is incorrect.

-Oh!

0:07:000:07:04

Brain's Binomials are not disqualified yet.

0:07:040:07:07

They still have a chance if Binky gets the next one right.

0:07:070:07:10

-Binky, are you ready?

-Huh? Me already?

0:07:100:07:14

Hold this.

0:07:140:07:16

What is the square root of 49?

0:07:160:07:18

-7!

-That is correct.

0:07:220:07:25

Brain's Binomials win the round

0:07:250:07:27

and will face the Wizardly Order in the finals on Monday.

0:07:270:07:31

You did it! That was amazing. Oh, here.

0:07:310:07:34

Eh, keep it.

0:07:340:07:36

You're going to lose so bad,

0:07:390:07:41

-you won't know your prime numbers from your integers.

-Oh, yeah?

0:07:410:07:45

I hope you're good at adding negative numbers,

0:07:450:07:47

because that what your score is going to be.

0:07:470:07:51

-Have you seen Buster?

-Um... I think he had a dentist appointment.

0:07:510:07:56

-Can I have some salt, please?

-Buster!

0:07:560:07:59

What are you doing under the table?

0:07:590:08:02

Oh, I misplaced my lunch. Here it is!

0:08:020:08:05

Sneaky lasagne.

0:08:050:08:06

You don't have to hide from me.

0:08:060:08:09

-I'm not upset you got the question wrong.

-You're not?

-No.

0:08:090:08:13

It's my fault. I haven't been pushing you hard enough.

0:08:130:08:16

-If you push me any harder, my head will explode.

-Here.

0:08:160:08:20

We're going to try some mistake aversion therapy.

0:08:200:08:22

Every time you get a question wrong,

0:08:220:08:24

I dump a glass of water on your head.

0:08:240:08:27

You're missing the point! What really gives me trouble is...

0:08:270:08:29

What's 52 ¸ 4?

0:08:290:08:31

I don't know! 12?

0:08:310:08:33

You may be the two-time Arithmattack champion,

0:08:360:08:38

but you're a terrible tutor!

0:08:380:08:41

CROWD CHEERS

0:08:450:08:47

Thank you, Professor!

0:08:470:08:48

But all of my awards mean nothing

0:08:480:08:50

compared to my greatest accomplishment,

0:08:500:08:52

my pupil, Buster Baxter.

0:08:520:08:55

-All right, Buster, I'd like you to calculate...

-Calculate?!

0:08:550:08:59

Buster no calculate! Buster no like numbers! Numbers bad!

0:08:590:09:07

DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:110:09:14

-Ah! Binky!

-We're going for a walk.

-Um...

0:09:140:09:19

Mum, tell Arthur he can have my Dark Bunny remote-control buggy.

0:09:210:09:25

-You know why I brought you here?

-Do I want to know?

0:09:280:09:32

Last year, I had a lot of trouble with math too.

0:09:320:09:35

Sometimes I'd be in such a daze,

0:09:350:09:37

I'd bang my head on this jungle gym.

0:09:370:09:39

Huh.

0:09:390:09:41

I always wondered how that got there.

0:09:410:09:43

Brain's tutoring hasn't worked for you so far, has it?

0:09:430:09:46

He's tried his best,

0:09:460:09:48

but he just doesn't understand that what really gives me trouble is...

0:09:480:09:51

-Your multiplication tables.

-How did you know?!

0:09:510:09:55

Because I've been there!

0:09:550:09:57

Want to know how I finally figured them out?

0:09:570:09:59

One day, I was at home watching TV.

0:09:590:10:03

It was ballet, an Italian troupe called I Piedi Grandi.

0:10:030:10:06

They weren't very good, but there was nothing else on.

0:10:070:10:11

So I continued watching and I started counting them,

0:10:110:10:14

and that's when it hit me.

0:10:140:10:16

There were two rows of them and four dancers in each row,

0:10:160:10:19

so two times four was eight!

0:10:190:10:22

So now, instead of thinking of numbers

0:10:220:10:25

when Mr Ratburn gives me a problem, I imagine little dancers.

0:10:250:10:29

But I'm not into dancing. The only dance I know is the Hokey Pokey.

0:10:290:10:33

-You've got to find out what works for you, Buster.

-I like cake.

0:10:330:10:38

OK, it's a little strange, but we can work with it.

0:10:380:10:42

Let's say you have three cakes and they all have three layers.

0:10:420:10:45

I want you to imagine them.

0:10:450:10:47

I can see them right in front of me. Look at all those layers!

0:10:470:10:53

The score is tied.

0:10:540:10:56

This year's Arithmattack Award will be decided by this final question.

0:10:560:11:00

The question goes to Buster Baxter.

0:11:000:11:03

Don't worry. I tutored him real good.

0:11:070:11:11

OK, Buster. This one is a multiplication question.

0:11:110:11:15

What is 12 x 3?

0:11:150:11:18

Ah! Is it...

0:11:260:11:27

36?

0:11:270:11:28

That is correct!

0:11:280:11:31

How could Binky have been a better tutor than me?

0:11:340:11:37

Math is one of my best subjects.

0:11:370:11:39

I needed someone who struggled, like me.

0:11:390:11:42

-But if you want, I can teach you how to be a better tutor.

-Really?

-Sure!

0:11:420:11:47

There are some new techniques I've been dying to try out,

0:11:470:11:50

like the Tutor Router.

0:11:500:11:52

First, we scrub your ears with vinegar, then, you clean my room...
