0:00:35 > 0:00:38Oh, dear, Buddy Blocks.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You don't seem very cheerful today.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Buddy Blocks?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I better cheer you up.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Little dance?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50# La-la la la-la la-la la. #
0:00:50 > 0:00:53That usually cheers you up.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Not very cheerful at all!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Hello, Three!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00What are you doing?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Just jumping around, jumping around!
0:01:07 > 0:01:08What are you doing?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I'm trying to cheer up my Buddy Blocks.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Actually, they're not very lively today.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18You're right.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Are your Buddy Blocks all right today?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Yes, I think so.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Here they come!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27They're very lively.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29As usual.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Perhaps they could cheer my Buddy Blocks up.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Course they could. They'll liven up your blocks, Three.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Oh. You've got two lots of three.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And they can take your three blocks for a ride.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Wow!- Whoa!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Wow!- Whoa!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Wow!- Whoa-ho!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Whoa. Wow!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Yeah!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Did you enjoy that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That's cheered them up.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Thank you, Six.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And it's cheered me up, too.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- BEEPING - Let's go!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We've got a call!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Hello, Agent 25 here. Things are going wrong.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32But not for long!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Look at this.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Hold on, I'm putting it on screen.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44This boy was sorting out some wheels,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47but when he got three wheels,
0:02:47 > 0:02:48he got three more.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Three more again! It's a bit strange.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Strange things are what we investigate.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- We'll send someone out there. - Thanks.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK. Who's going to go?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Well, there were three things, weren't there.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Yes.- So it ought to be me who goes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Three, you're a bit of a small number.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I can do it!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I think you can, but with my help.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh...all right then. As long as I can go.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24# We've got a problem What shall we do?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30# Need to get out there Who will it be? #
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Who's going out? - Six and Three.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35ALARM SOUNDS
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Good luck, Six!- Good luck, Three! Checking all clear for launch.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05All clear.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Let's go!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- ALL:- Six, five, four,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17three, two, one, zero!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- ALL:- Three, two, one, zero!
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Looking for a three and a six to land on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Finding sixes...
0:04:39 > 0:04:40and threes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Looking for two together.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Got a 36! 36!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- All right, Three?- Ah, yes.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Come on, then!
0:04:57 > 0:04:58They made it all right.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Better check out what's happening with the boy.- Let's have a look!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Three more.- And three more.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- How many is that altogether? - One, two, three...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Four, five, six...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Seven, eight, nine!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Three things turning into nine things. That's strange.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- BEEPING - Another agent calling in!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Agent 34 here. More problems at the cafe.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- OK. We better get down there.- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45She's got three things too.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It's happening again!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02SHE SCREAMS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's happening outside too.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh. Oh!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We've got to sort this out.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Yes, if three things keep getting turned into nine,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40anything could happen.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46If you had a birthday cake for your third birthday,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49suddenly you'd have three lots of three,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and it would be a cake for a nine-year-old.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Or if Goldilocks was having trouble with three bears,
0:06:57 > 0:07:04suddenly it would have to be Goldilocks And The Nine Bears!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08And having three babies is hard enough already -
0:07:08 > 0:07:12what if you had three more, and three more?!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Nine crying babies.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19We've got to sort this problem out.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- What's making everything go wrong? - I think I can guess. Look!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27The Puzzler!
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- What do we know about him? - On screen now.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36# Let me tell you what I'm talking about
0:07:36 > 0:07:41# The Puzzler, The Puzzler He's gonna twist your mind
0:07:41 > 0:07:46# His bubbles mean trouble If you get trapped inside
0:07:46 > 0:07:51# You better start thinking If The Puzzler has got you
0:07:51 > 0:07:54# Cos if you can't sort the puzzle out
0:07:54 > 0:07:57# The Puzzler will sort you
0:07:58 > 0:07:59# Oh yeah! #
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I bet it's you that's causing trouble.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yes, your friend Nine is inside my bubble.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- You've captured Nine? - Where is she? Tell us.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I won't tell you until I see
0:08:12 > 0:08:16not Six and Three, but Three, Three and Three.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Well, I'm Three.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26But I'm Six. How can we be Three, Three and Three?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Sending out an alert.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32How can Three and Six become Three, Three and Three?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Anyone who can help us call in now. - Hurry!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Agent's calling in.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You need three Threes. Three is the first one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Six has got to change into the other two Threes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Can he do that?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yes - remember his Buddy Blocks.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'll rerun that on screen.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Yes, that's six buddy blocks turning into two lots of three.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Six can do it!
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- Six, we've got some good news and some bad news.- 'What is it?'
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- We know how to solve the puzzle. - 'Good. And the bad news?'
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- You've got to turn into two threes. - 'What?!'- You've got to do it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We'll send you Brain Gain to help.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17OK. If it's got to be done,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I, Number Six, will become two Number Threes.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23You'll love it.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Brain Gain coming.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Argh!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Wow!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You look different.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03We feel different.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Yes, we do.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Oh, hello, Three and Three and Three.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13What exactly do you need from me?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Tell us where Nine is?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Or there will be trouble.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Number Nine's here.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33till nine small squares make one big square!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Anyone got any information about squares?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- A square is this shape. - All the sides are the same length.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Checking the napkins.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They're square - all the sides are the same length.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You need to get to the cafe.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51We're on our way.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Let's hope they can make them into one big square.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- There's nine napkins.- How can we make them into one big square?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Remember the Buddy Blocks.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I think I've got a picture.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yes, that's one big square.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Three lots of three, do it with the napkins.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Three rows of three, make that square.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'll do one row.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'll do the second row.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'll do the bottom row.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32That's nine small squares.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Three rows of three makes one big square.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Oh, well done, Three and Three and Three.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You've made a square and beaten me.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49So, as I promised, Nine goes free.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That's better.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55But I'll be back.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Things are going back to normal.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02ALL: Yeah!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Come back now, all of you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11One thing to do first.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Definitely.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Two threes make a six.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Two threes make six.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19ALL: Yeah!

0:12:53 > 0:12:55The boy had three things,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57then nine.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The waitress had trouble,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03and the lady. It was all that Puzzler's fault.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06And I had a very strange thing to do.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Six becoming two Threes!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11We had to make a big square.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You rescued me, thank you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And everything went back to normal.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Hurray!
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Would your Buddy Blocks like another ride, Three?- Yes, please.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28My Buddy Blocks can join in too.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Wow!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Ooh, two big squares.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42I wonder, is there any other number of Buddy Blocks
0:13:42 > 0:13:46that could be made into a square? Find out. Or any problems,
