Have you seen my buddy blocks, Six? I can't find them anywhere.

That's funny. I've lost mine as well.

I can't find my buddy blocks.

-BOTH: Neither can we!

-Where can they be?

-Maybe they've been grabbed by the Shape-Japer.

-Oh, no!

-Only joking.

They might have gone off somewhere on their own.

Oh, no! I want my buddy blocks.

-Don't worry, I know where they are.

-Where?

Well, buddy blocks can make a bit of a mess. So I've tidied them away.

Here they are. Mine as well. See how tidy they are?

And they've filled this box right up to the top.

-You took our buddy blocks.

-And tidied them away.

-Without asking.

I thought you'd be pleased. They look very cosy.

-They might not want to be cosy!

-Come on, my buddy blocks. Oh!

-And mine.

-And mine. Come on.

They're all getting out. Oh...

You shouldn't have done that, Four.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to upset them.

My buddy blocks love being in their box, look.

What a shame. This box was full before, now it's nearly empty.

Never mind. Your buddy blocks will have plenty of room now.

And we've got our buddy blocks back. So everything is fine.

-ALARM SOUNDS

-Maybe not!

-Someone needs us.

EXCITING MUSIC PLAYS

-Agents.

-Thanks, Two, we'll take over.

Oh!

-It's Agent 25.

-Something's going wrong.

But not for long.

-We better take a look.

-Hold on, I'm putting it on screen.

What happened to the drink?

That bottle was full just now.

And now it's empty.

Look, in the garden!

-It's happened again.

-That sandpit was full.

-And now it's empty.

This is very strange.

Can I go? Please, please please...

-No, Three. I think I need to go today.

-Can I come with you, then?

-Can I, can I, can I?

-What do you think, Five?

-All right.

-Yay! I'm going out.

Go! Go!

# We've got a problem What shall we do?

# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?

# Need to get out there Who will it be?

-# Who's going out there? #

-Five and Three.

ALARM

I'm ready.

Hang on. I have to check it's all clear for launching first.

All clear.

Good luck.

Three, two, one,

zero!

Five, four, three, two, one, zero!

Woo-hoo! Yay!

Finding a three and a five to land on.

Got some threes and fives...

Found a three and a five.

WHOOSH!

-Are you all right, Three?

-I'm fine.

-She's coming over here, let's go!

Can you see us, Six and Four?

Yes, we can see you.

-This is very exciting.

-Calm down, Three.

-Three needs to be careful.

-Don't worry. Five will look after her.

DING!

-Did you see that?

-Yes, where did all the ice cream go?

-Someone's calling.

-Agent 61 here.

I just saw the Puzzler.

-Oh, no!

-So that's why strange things are happening today.

The Puzzler's playing tricks. It's on screen now.

BUBBLE BUBBLE

Let me tell you what I'm talking about.

# The Puzzler, the Puzzler,

# He's got a twisted mind

# His bubbles mean trouble

# If you get trapped inside

# You better

# Start thinking

# If the Puzzler has got you

# If you can't sort the puzzle out

# The puzzle will sort you You-oooh! #

Oh, yeah!

Five and Three, can you hear me?

-Loud and clear.

-The Puzzler is out and about.

Hah! He doesn't scare me.

-Be careful, Three.

-Yes, you might get trapped in a puzzle bubble.

-Don't worry, I'll take care of Three.

-I can take care of myself.

ALARM THROBS

It's Agent 96 here. You've got to hurry, things are wrong in the cafe.

OK, on our way now.

-Three? Where are you?

-Where is she?

I don't know.

She's gone off on her own.

Oh no! I must catch up with her before the Puzzler does.

-The Puzzler's up to his tricks all right.

-Why is he making all these things empty?

-I don't know.

Bet it's one of his mean puzzles.

Any sign of Three yet, Five?

No. I hope she doesn't do anything silly.

We've got to stop the Puzzler.

If he carries on emptying things, anything could happen.

Drink cartons won't be much fun.

There'll be no drink inside.

SLURP!

And balloons won't be much fun.

If there's no air inside them.

Oh! SPLASHING

And going to the swimming pool will be no fun at all.

Cos there'll be no water to play in.

Got to stop that Puzzler.

Three! Where are you?

-Puzzler!

-I've found her, Five.

You should have known not to let Three go off alone.

She can look after herself.

Well, let's keep her out of trouble.

Let's keep her safe, inside my bubble.

Let me out, you meanie!

Don't worry, Three. We'll soon get you out of there.

Oh, no! That Puzzler.

There were four things that once were full -

bottle, tub, sandpit, bowl.

Some held more and some held less.

Put them in order, that's your test.

Wow, that's tricky.

How do we put the things in order?

ALARM THROBS

You've got to know which one holds the biggest amount.

And which one holds the smallest amount.

-And which ones come in between.

-Let's fill them up again.

See how much it takes to fill them. I'll get the Brain Gain going.

Ha-ha!

# Brain Gain, Brain Gain To sort the problem use a brain

# The way to get your brains all linking up together

# Joined up thinking. #

Using brain power now! Brain Gain!

Machine's ready. Fill them up!

SWOOO-OOSH!

ZZAP!

ZZZAP-ZZZAP!

ZZAP!

ZZAP!

ZZAP!

They filled up so quickly, we can't tell which holds the most.

Or which holds the least.

So we can't put them in order and solve the puzzle.

While my problem gives you trouble, Three stays trapped inside my bubble.

HELP!

But I feel kind today and so I'll give you all just one more go.

We've only got one more chance to rescue Three!

How can we work it out?

Fill them up bit by bit, see how many bits you need.

Right! The more jumps of Brain Gain I have to do, the more it holds.

I'll count the jumps.

OK, Five. Start with the bottle.

Fire away!

-One...

-ZZAP!

Two, that's full.

The bottle took two jumps to fill.

The ice cream tub next.

One, two, three, four! Full.

-Took four.

-Ready for the bowl.

ZZAPPOW!

One, that's full.

Now the sandpit.

-ZZAP!

-One, two, three,

-four, five...

-It's going to take loads.

19, 20, 21...

39, 40...

55, 56... 75, 76, 77...

78, 79... 99, 100!

-Full!

-Well done.

Ohhh...

Well, the sandpit definitely took the most jumps.

100! That's the biggest.

The ice cream tub took four jumps so that's next.

The bottle took two jumps.

And the bowl took just one jump, so that's the smallest.

So the order is - bowl smallest, then bottle, then tub, then sandpit.

Definitely the biggest.

Puzzle solved. You win and so, Three is free.

And off I go. But I'll be back...

BANG!

Are you all right, Three?

-I think so.

-Don't worry, you're safe now.

Come back now, Three and Five.

Clear for landing.

BOTH: One, two, three, four, five!

-It's good to be back.

-You should have stayed close to Five.

I know. I won't do it again. Sorry.

Never mind, we sorted that Puzzler out, didn't we?

On the screen now!

The bottle was full, then empty.

-Same with the sandpit.

-And the ice cream tub.

It was that Puzzler - up to no good.

-Three went off on her own.

-And the Puzzler bubbled me.

His puzzle was quite tricky.

Things that needed most Brain Gain held the most.

-One for the bowl.

-Two for the bottle.

-Four for the ice cream tub.

-And 100 for the sandpit.

We got them all in order.

And the Puzzler had to let Three go.

Safe at last!

So, whatever happens, you don't go wandering off by yourselves.

My buddy blocks wouldn't go off on their own,

especially since I got them their new home.

-New home?

-Yes, look.

That's much cosier, isn't it? They fill it right to the top.

What's the smallest thing that gets filled up in your home?

And what's the biggest?

Find out and call the Numberjacks.
