0:00:32 > 0:00:35# The Numberjacks are on their way! #
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is a good book.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43And this is a good collection of beautiful things.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46So I've heard - lots of times.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Lovely.- If they're so lovely, perhaps you should share them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Well, that's one for me and that's one for me...
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- That's not very fair. - And that's one for me.- Three,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- you're being a little bit selfish. - They are my beautiful things
0:01:06 > 0:01:11and if I gave any of them away they'd be sad. So sad.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- They'd probably enjoy the peace and quiet.- Yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21I'm so sorry, Four, but I can't share any of my beautiful things.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- You can't share anything! - I can! I can! For instance...
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- Six, can I borrow your buddy blocks?- Yes!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Thank you!
0:01:33 > 0:01:38So, sharing the buddy blocks, like this. One for you...
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- and one, two, three, four, five for me. Shared.- Shared?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's not fair sharing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Oh, now he wants me to do fair sharing!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50That's the whole point.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54You share things equally so everyone gets the same.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58We've got to have the same number. Do it like this.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01One for you...and one for me.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03One for you
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and one for me.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And one for you
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and one for me.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I've got one, two, three
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and you've got one, two, three.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Fair shares. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Do you think I can have my fair share of peace and quiet?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28No, none of us can. Come on.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Come on, you lot.- Who's calling in?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Agent 28 here.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Go ahead.- Things are going wrong.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- But not for long. - It's the children on the beach.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I'm putting it on screen.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Sandwiches - yeah!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08They're sharing them fairly. Oh, yes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- But look!- Oh, no. - She has no sandwiches.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- The boy has them all.- He's trying.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- But it's not working. - This needs sorting out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- So...- We'll send someone. Don't worry.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Thanks. We need your help. - The Numberjacks are on their way!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Hey!- And which Numberjack is it? - Today...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think it's going to be me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42So much for fair shares!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46# We've got a problem What shall we do?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51# There's a problem we need to fix
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- # Who's going out there? # - Number Six!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Good luck, Six.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Checking the room's empty...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- All clear!- Let's go!
0:04:37 > 0:04:44Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Looking for a six...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That's the one for us.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Ha! OK, ready to sort things out.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- I fancy a paddle on that beach. - We've got work to do!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18I'm watching out for things going wrong. They seem all right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Oh, no!- She's got both spades.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- What's going on here?- Agents, call in. We need some help here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42Agent 101 here. Things aren't being shared fairly.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Instead of people having the same number of things each,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48one person has got all of them.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- That boy had all the sandwiches. - And the girl had both the spades.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Even when they try to be fair, things aren't working out.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Six, can you see anything? What is causing all the trouble?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I can spot something...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Look at that spade.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- What is it?- Going in closer.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Oh yes, look, a blob. That's what made the spades go wrong.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And look at the plates.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19A blob of slime.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Which means...- Yes, look.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Yucky yucky! - Getting the data on screen -
0:06:26 > 0:06:28all about the problem blob.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36# If you spot a blob of slime
0:06:36 > 0:06:40# Guess what - this slob can lie
0:06:40 > 0:06:44# Great big and blubbery
0:06:44 > 0:06:52# Making trouble is the blubbery slubbery problem blob. #
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yucky yucky yuck!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58That problem blob is going to take some sorting out.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Yes, and quick. He's been blobbing problems all over the place.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Tell us about it. - The gardener's in a lot of trouble.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Getting it on screen.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15He's dividing the plants between the two pots.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Three plants in each pot. That's fair so far...
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- What's the problem? - Here's the problem.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Blobs.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- The plants are on the move.- Those plants won't stay divided fairly.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Those pots haven't got their fair shares of plants.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And now the plants are too crowded.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39The problem blob is stopping things being shared fairly!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44More problems, more problems.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- She's divided her bags up - two on each arm.- Checking for blobs...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Spotted some blobs!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Spotted some blobs!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Oh no, now the bags aren't shared fairly.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Poor lady!- Mean blob!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04BLOB LAUGHS
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Hey, there's a very boring game of football on the beach.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17- That was an easy goal.- That's cos the players have been blobbed!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19They're nearly all on one side.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Five against one?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's not fair.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28If the problem blob keeps stopping things being shared out fairly,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31anything could happen.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35There might be two bulls with two horns each.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Then one bull would get three horns
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and the other bull is left with just one!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Or instead of two cars having four wheels each,
0:08:44 > 0:08:50one car would have six wheels and the other car would only have two!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Or instead of two clocks with two hands each,
0:08:54 > 0:08:59you'd have one clock with four hands and one clock with no hands,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03and you couldn't tell the time with either of them!
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- That problem blob has got to be stopped.- Yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- Send me the Brain Gain and I'll do it.- We need to share things fairly.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I'll get the Brain Gain machine going. Powering up...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25# Brain Gain, Brain Gain
0:09:25 > 0:09:28# To sort the problem use our brains
0:09:28 > 0:09:31# The way to get your brains all linking up together
0:09:31 > 0:09:35# Joined-up thinking... # Getting brain power now!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Share things fairly. Share things fairly.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Share things fairly. Share things fairly.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Fair shares. Fair shares.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Sending Brain Gain now...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Share the sandwiches fairly!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Share the spades fairly!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Share the plants fairly!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Share the bags fairly!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Divide the players up fairly!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21That's better!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- We did it!- Hurrah!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Hang on, I think there's going to be another problem.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Those children and their flippers! - They need to share the flippers out.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- But look!- Oh, no!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37They won't share out fairly now.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39That's not very fair.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let's share those flippers fairly!
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- But there's three children to share them.- Oh, dear. Now what do we do?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54No problem. To share them out equally...
0:10:54 > 0:10:58One each, one at a time. That's the way to be fair.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK. One each, one at a time.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04One each, one at a time.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yes! Two each, shared fairly.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17We've still got to deal with the problem blob.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19He's near the gardener.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Share out its blobs of slime until they're all gone.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Yes! A blob for every blade of grass in the garden.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32That's loads of blobs!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Share the blobs. Share the blobs.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43A blob for every blade of grass in the garden.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's using up a lot of blobs.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It's used up all the blobs!
0:11:52 > 0:11:56He won't be making trouble for a long time. We did it!
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- THEY CHEER - Come back now, Six.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07All clear for landing.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14One, two, three, four, five, six!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21That was scary!
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- Sharing did the trick. - We've got it all on screen.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31There was trouble with the sandwiches - not shared fairly.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Nor were the spades.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38And those plants were a problem, all in one pot.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42That lady's bags were a problem too.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44And so was five playing against one.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49We sorted things, even when three people were sharing.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55One each, one at a time! He won't be making trouble for a long time.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02And then something really strange happened.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- More!- You were right, it is a good book.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- And so is the book that Five's reading to us.- We're sharing books.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- Three Numberjacks reading this book. - And three reading this book.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- Did I hear there's reading going on? Love a good book!- Yeah, me too.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Which book are you going to read? - Mmm...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Wow, now there are eight Numberjacks.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29If we are all shared out fairly,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33how many Numberjacks will be reading each book?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Work it out and call the Numberjacks.
