0:01:24 > 0:01:26Count on one more.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- No, don't go back! - Zero's right back at the beginning.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Zero, you don't have to go back.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37You just count on from the number you'd got to.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Let's try again. First dice, please.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38But not for long!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- People keep going back to the beginning.- Sounds weird.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Have a look. - Hold on, I'm putting it on screen.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Whoa!
0:02:54 > 0:03:00He's been stuck doing that over and over for ages.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Looks like a problem.- Can you help? - That's what we're here for.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Great.- And the Numberjack going out there is...

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Huh! Oh.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37OK. Let's do it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- I hope Six gets things sorted. - More things to sort!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Agent 108 here.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Someone else keeps on going back to the beginning.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Six, I think he's near you! - I can see him.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I think he's counting the steps he's taking.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Back to the beginning again.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06And again.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Weird.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Agent 81 here.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- There's trouble in the restaurant! - I'm on my way.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20She's counted them on to the plate, and watch....
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, dear.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34What is going on?! Is there a pattern?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Everyone is counting things.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And they keep stopping and going back to the beginning
0:05:40 > 0:05:42instead of carrying on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45But why? What's making them do it?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Having a closer look.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Can anyone see anything?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51There's a blob of slime!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56And another blob!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59We all know who's causing trouble then.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01The Problem Blob!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03On screen.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10# If you spot a blob of slime
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- # Guess what? Big slob can rhyme - Uh-oh
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- # Great, big and blubbery - Blubbery
0:06:18 > 0:06:22# Making trouble, he's the flubbery
0:06:22 > 0:06:26# Slubbery Problem Blob. #
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- Yuck-oh-yuck.- That Problem Blob needs sorting out.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Yes, and quick. He's causing more problems at the school.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Getting in on screen.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Teacher is trying to count the children.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44One, two, three, four.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49She should carry on counting from where she got to.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51She's gone back to the beginning again!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The counting will never get done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And the children will never get out to play.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Found more problems for the waitress.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07She's counting them. One, two, three.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Carry on counting from three!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Oh, no! She should have carried on counting.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The Problem Blob makes people
0:07:24 > 0:07:28count from the beginning. Anything could happen!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32If you wanted to know how many toys you'd got -
0:07:32 > 0:07:34one, two, three, four.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39If there were more toys to count, you'd go back to the beginning again.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43If the shepherd was counting his sheep - one, two, three.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47If more sheep arrived, he'd count the first lot again,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and the others would never get counted.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58If the first one, two, three tyres are ready on your racing car,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02you don't want to start counting again when another tyre is there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06If you waste time starting again, you'll never win the race.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- We've got to stop the Problem Blob. - Yeah! Get me some Brain Gain!
0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Let's do it.- Don't start again, carry on counting!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'll just say, "Carry on counting."

0:09:10 > 0:09:12One, two, three, four.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Oh, no! Six has been blobbed!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- You kept going back to the beginning. - Over and over.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well, that won't happen again.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Let's make everyone carry on counting!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Carry on counting! Carry on counting!

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Whoa!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And well done that boy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And one last bit of Brain Gain.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Let's get the Problem Blob counting on, counting all its blobs.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40SPLUTTERING
0:11:45 > 0:11:49That has sorted the Blob... for a while at least.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Come on back now, Six!- I'm on my way.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57All clear for landing.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04ALL: One, two, three,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06four, five, six!
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Well done, Six.- You kept going back to the beginning, too.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I was worried. I had to say, I was worried.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It was weird.- It's all on screen.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27The boy was first. He started counting from the beginning.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Then the man.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And the waitress kept starting counting again, too!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Even the teacher started counting from the beginning.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- All because of the Problem Blob. - And I kept starting again, too.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- But Brain Gain sorted you out.- OK.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50And everything was sorted.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Everybody carried on counting from where they'd got to.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Let's see if you can help count on.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Five.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07One, two, three, four,

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Six, seven!- Yes!
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- My number!- Let's see if we can count on to my number.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28You go back to the beginning again, and the dice will roll.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33What numbers can you make with two dice? Count the first dice.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Then count on with the second dice.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40What different numbers can you count to? Find out,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and call the Numberjacks!
