Right. It's my turn. Hover-dice, please roll yourself.

Oh, yes, four. My favourite number, of course.

One, two, three, four.

I'm going to get more than four. I'm going to get five or six or seven.

-You can't get seven on a dice.

-I bet I can.

Hover-dice, please roll yourself.

A six!

So that means I get an extra go.

-No, you don't!

-Roll, please, Hover-dice.

-Hey!

A one!

Right, I've got a six... One, two, three, four, five, six.

And then I got one more.

Six and one makes...seven!

Yes! I win!

-That's not fair!

-You're just a bad loser.

-Hello, Seven, I've just thrown your number.

-Great!

It took me two goes added together but I did it.

Seven's going out to do a painting job.

-Yeah, cos I can make the seven colours of the rainbow.

-Show us!

-Red...

-One.

-..orange...

-Two.

-..yellow...

-Three.

-..green.

-Four.

-..blue...

-Five.

-..indigo...

-Six.

-..violet!

-Seven!

-That's beautiful.

-Thanks! But I better get out and do some work.

-Bye!

-Good luck!

-Want another game?

-You'll just cheat again.

I did not cheat! I added up.

-Oh, come on!

-Agents calling in.

We've got a call.

-There's something going wrong.

-But not for long!

-Tell us the problem.

A boy's got a problem with his toys.

Hold on - I'm putting it on screen.

Vroom!

Extra things keep appearing, like the wheels on his car.

One...two...

-three extra wheels.

-Huh?

-Pretty strange... But don't worry - we're on our way.

-Thanks!

OK... Who should go?

There were three extra things so I should go.

-No, I don't think so.

-Oh!

For some strange reason, I've got the feeling Four should go.

-Oh, all right, then.

-OK, this is a mission for Number Four.

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

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

# We've got a problem to explore Who's going out there? #

Number Four.

SIREN SOUNDS

-Lucky thing, Four.

-Ready, Four?

I'm not sure... Yes.

Checking all's clear.

-All clear.

-Good luck, then, Four.

NUMBERS: Four, three, two,

one, zero!

Scanning for a four to land on.

Found a four to land on.

Ah! Phew! Made it.

That boy's looking a bit worried.

He won't be for long. As soon as Four arrives...

There he is!

Hope we can sort this out.

Look at those four skittles.

One, two,

three more!

-We need to work out what's going on here.

-Could be a pattern.

Agents ringing in to help.

Both times there was four things to start.

Then there were three more things.

And the three extra things make the number add up to...

SOUND DISTORTS

We've lost Agent 16!

Come in, Agent 16. What number do the things add up to?

Seven! Four things and three more make seven!

Yes, there is a pattern.

Four and three add up to make seven!

-We've got more problems in the park.

-I'm on my way.

If four things keep turning into seven things,

anything could happen!

If it was someone's fourth birthday, with four candles,

there'd be three more candles. That's seven to blow out!

And things that have four sides would have three extra sides,

making five, six,

seven!

The poor old dancing cow would have three extra legs to worry about.

Oh, it would be a disaster!

Luckily, we know what's going on.

Four will be able to sort things out.

Quick! We need help here.

OK, we know it's four things getting three extra things to make seven.

Is one thing getting extra things to make seven?

Another ice cream!

Another box.

Another tray.

-Another mop!

-And another bag.

Another box!

More boxes!

Seven ice creams!

More trays.

Seven trays!

Ah, I think we've got a bit of sorting out to do.

Check how many things there are.

The cleaner had one mop to start with

and six more makes seven!

One tray...

and six more makes seven!

What's making these things happen?

I think I can guess.

The Puzzler!

Searching for info on The Puzzler.

# 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'd better start thinking If The Puzzler has got you

# Cos if you can't solve the puzzle out

# The Puzzler will stop you. #

Why are there seven of everything? We've got to think.

I'll tell you, shall I? Save you the trouble?

Seven is trapped inside my bubble.

-Oh, no!

-Help! Help!

Oh, no!

Solve this puzzle, or there she stays.

What... What is the puzzle?

You must make seven, two different ways.

Make seven two different ways? I can't even make seven one way.

You can make seven with a bit of brain gain from me.

# Brain gain, brain gain To solve the problem use our brains

# The way to get your brains all linking - joined up thinking! #

Getting brain power now! Brain gain!

What does Three mean? How can she help me to make seven?

I'm Three...

..and you're Four.

So together, we make seven.

Sending more brain gain.

Three and four make seven!

Hm... Seems you've got a bit of brain.

You've made seven once, now do it again.

-Quick - another way of making seven!

-What about the mop and things?

-That was one, and six more make seven.

-Come on, One,

we've got some brain gain to send.

-One...

-And six...

-BOTH: Make seven!

Sending more brain gain.

One and six make seven!

Ah!

Thanks, everyone!

Well, there we are. We had such fun.

-Oh, yeah, fun(!)

-Now everything goes back to one...

..and all the things that were three more...

All those things go back to four.

Curses! Another of my puzzles solved!

So, till next time, I'll say...

-BLOWS BUBBLES

-..so long!

-Come on back, Four.

-Thanks, Four. I'm off doing my painting job.

See you later!

All clear for landing.

NUMBERS: One, two, three, four!

-Well done, Four.

-That was an adventure.

-We got it all on screen.

That car started it all.

Three extra wheels to make it seven.

But not as funny as the man with the mops and everyone.

That was crazy - all those things making seven.

And here's trouble - The Puzzler!

-He's a bit scary.

-And it was a tricky puzzle -

two ways to make seven.

We did it, though.

Three and four make seven...

-One and six make seven.

-NUMBERS: Yes!

-Luckily, we only had to find two ways of adding up to seven.

-Yeah.

We'd never have found another way of adding up to seven.

It's hard enough to remember two ways of adding up to seven.

Yes, thank you, Dice. I can see three spots.

That's funny - I can see four spots on this side.

Weird. Three and four - two numbers that make seven

on opposite sides of the dice.

I bet the dice couldn't tell you the other numbers that make seven.

I don't know. You'd better check that out.

Can a dice help you find three different ways of adding up to seven?

Check it out and call the Numberjacks.
