# Things may all be going wrong but you can bet it's not for long

# The Numberjacks are on their way

# The Numberjacks are on their way! #

Wow! All the buddy blocks are big.

Yes, and I think I'm going to be good at jumping up them today.

Show us, then.

I can jump all the way up to my number.

One...two...three...four.

Pretty impressive, I think you'll agree.

Four...three...two...one...zero.

All the way to my own number and back.

I can do that!

One...two...three.

And I can go on to four.

One more than my number.

Well, of course, I COULD go to one more than my number.

Oh, could you?

Yes, I could easily go to five,

but we haven't got a tower of five buddy blocks.

Well, we could have.

Oh, could we?

You watch.

Buddy block one, please go and add yourself to four to make five.

One, two, three, four, five.

Now you can go to one more than your number.

Yes, good(!)

Here goes!

I'm on two.

On three.

You can do it!

Five. Yes!

-Yes!

-SIREN

Well done! Come on.

We have an agent calling in.

-Agent 16, here.

-What's the problem?

Things are going wrong.

But not for long.

-It's down on the beach!

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

She WAS going into the sea with her flippers on.

-Nothing wrong with that.

-But look at her now.

That's not where flippers go.

-And there was a boy playing football.

-Perfectly fine.

Now look!

That's not allowed. Use your feet, not your hands.

Definitely got problems here.

-So are you sending someone?

-Sure are!

Thanks!

Who's going? Who's going?

Tell you what, this one's for me.

# 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? #

Number Five.

Checking the room.

-All clear!

-Let's go!

ALL: Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

Going to find a five.

Found a five.

Phew! Made it.

-Can you see the boy and girl?

-Yes.

What's happening with them?

Agent 42 here. They've got things switched round.

They're using their hands instead of their feet.

OK, we need to know more. More!

There are more problems, I'm afraid.

We can handle it.

More problems with hands being where feet should be.

That's not where you wear shoes.

It's going to be hard to do the gardening with those on his hands.

That's funny - hands and feet getting completely mixed up.

Come in. We really need to know what's going on here.

Hands swapped for feet - what's that all about?

-We need to see a close-up of a hand.

-Close-up of a hand.

-And a close-up of a foot.

-Close-up of a foot.

Is there anything the same about a hand and a foot?

Anything?

-Count the digits.

-Count the fingers and the thumb.

One, two, three, four fingers and one thumb is five digits.

Count the toes. One, two, three, four, five toes.

That's why hands and feet have been swapped over.

They've both got five things.

And if hands and feet keep getting swapped over, anything could happen.

Yey! Woo!

Instead of a paddle dipping your toes in the water,

you'd have to paddle with your hands.

Instead of scooting with your foot, you'd have to scoot with your hand.

And skipping would be really hard - for everybody.

We've got to sort this problem out.

But who's causing all these problems? Who can it be?

You'd better believe it. It's me.

I know that voice.

I know that face.

Yes, my face. Isn't it lovely?

Handsome and, yes, oh, so bubbly.

Putting data on The Puzzler on-screen.

# Let me tell you what I'm talking about

# The Puzzler, The Puzzler, he's got a twisted mind

# His bubbles are trouble if you get trapped inside

# You'd better start thinking if The Puzzler has caught you

# Cos if you can't sort the puzzle out

# The puzzle will sort you

You've got to stop messing people up.

Who's gonna stop me? Little you?

That's not something YOU can do.

Let's liven up these people's lives.

Have fun with things that come in fives.

My little tricks have just begun.

It's time for me to have more fun. Yeah!

I'll get after him.

Anything in fives could be in trouble.

More trouble for the poor lady.

She's got five nails to paint.

Oh, no!

Ah-ha ha ha!

PLAYS TRUMPET BADLY

Ah-ha ha ha!

Puzzler, stop messing up fives.

To stop things now would be so sad.

I love to make five things go bad.

Making five is what I can do.

Oh, no, you can't. I'm bubbling you!

R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R.

Help! Oh, no!

Oh, aaahhhh!

You all need help, that's very true.

And here's that chance I'm giving you.

Find two numbers that add to five,

then I will let five out alive.

Come on, think!

Two numbers that add to five.

Come on, we've got to sort this.

There's five nails altogether.

One, two, three, four, five.

And four of them are red and one is blue.

Four and one make five.

We've done it! We know how to make five with two numbers.

Four and one.

Got to send the Brain Gain to rescue Five.

-Hang on, it should be me.

-What?!

Me and One. Four and one make five.

-I'll go and get Number One.

-Quick!

How's it going, Numberjacks?

Have you got the problem cracked?

Yes, we have. Come on, One.

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

# The way to get your brains linking up together

# Joined up thinking. #

Getting brain power now! Brain Gain!

-Two numbers that make five. Four.

-One.

-Make five.

Four and one make five. Four and one make five.

Sending Brain Gain.

-Four.

-And one.

-Make five.

Hooray!

Going somewhere, Five? No way.

R-R-R-R-R-R-R.

We found two numbers that make five.

-Yes, I know, but I'm afraid I've changed my mind.

-What?

Yes, and now I say, "Add up to five a different way."

We've got to do it another way.

What?! Four and one not good enough?

You were great.

Yeah.

But we've got to find another way to add up to five.

Agents, any ideas?

Watch the man with the trumpet.

Putting on-screen.

PLAYS TRUMPET BADLY

Watch his fingers and thumb. Five digits.

Some digits move up and down and do the playing,

-and the other two don't move.

-Yes! Count the digits that move.

One, two, three. Oh, yes!

And the digits that don't move, one on either side. That's two!

Three and two make five.

One, two, three, four, five.

I'll get Two in the Brain Gain Machine.

Yes! Three and two make five.

Another way of making five.

Send that Brain Gain.

-Come on, Two. Three...

-And two...

-BOTH: Makes five.

Sending Brain Gain.

Yes! Three and two make five.

I must admit that yes, they do.

First four and one, then three and two.

Two different ways of making five.

So, just as quick as I arrived, off I go.

I'll set you free.

But I'll be back. Remember me!

-ALL: Hooray! Yes!

-Done it!

Well done!

Everything back to normal.

PLAYS TRUMPET WELL

Come on back now, Five.

All clear.

ALL: One, two, three, four, five.

-Well done, Five.

-I needed everyone's help today.

-That's what the Numberjacks are all about.

-Got everything on-screen.

Everyone was using their hands instead of their feet.

That's not how to play!

You can't go wearing shoes on your hands.

Or boots.

Yuck!

Oh, no!

Lucky you found two ways to add to five.

Four and one.

Three and two.

Everything sorted!

See? We made five for you.

Oh, thanks, Three.

Two different ways.

-I wonder...

-What?

If MY four buddy blocks were on top of One's, instead of underneath,

would it still add up to five?

Check it.

Is four with one on top the same as one with four on top?

Find out and call the Numberjacks.
