- Right. I'll go first. - Why you?
All right, you go first, as long as we take turns.
Hoverdice, please roll.
Oh! Not very many.
One, two.
My turn. Roll, please!
Four! My number. Very nice.
One, two, three, four.
Me me me now!
Huh?
- One. - Roll, please,
Five. Very good! One, two, three, four, five!
- You've got a bit of catching up to do! - Yes, I have. Roll, please.
Huh? One!
- Roll again! - What? It's not your turn! - So?
- Huh! - One, two. - We've got to take turns!
Don't see why. Roll.
Four! That's good.
- Taking turns is fair. - Not taking turns is fun!
- Roll! - Hey!
- Brilliant! - No! If you don't take turns, everything goes wrong.
It's going all right for me.
It can't be you, you, you and not me!
You've got to take turns, Three!
Well, maybe next time. Come on!
We've got a call!
Hello, Agent 14 here. Things are going wrong.
Not for long!
- Look at this boy! - Hold on - I'm putting it on screen.
Watch his legs.
- It's all one leg and not the other! - It means he can't walk properly.
OK, who's going out there?
- It must be my turn! - Huh!
- Five, you up for it? - Yeah! - OK. Get ready for launching.
# 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!
- Good luck, Five. - Ready for launch! Checking the room's empty.
Wait! Someone's there!
Polly!
OK. They've gone. Let's go.
- All clear. - Let's go!
ALL: Five, four, three, two, one,
zero!
Looking for a five to land on.
Finding a five...
It's fifty-five. Can land on either five!
There he is.
- How's he getting on? - Still just using one leg.
Maybe his other leg doesn't work.
- Yes, it does! - He's still having trouble!
Agent 47 here. Both legs are working but not at the right time.
Agent 73 here.
His legs should take turns. Left, right, left, right.
He's going left, left, left, right, right, right.
It's a different pattern.
I get it! It should be left, right, left, right.
And it's left, left, left, right, right, right!
Things are getting weird in the cafe.
She should put down a knife, then a fork - knife then fork!
CLOCK: Cuck-oo! Cuck-oo!
At least the cuckoo clock's all right!
Cuck-cuck-cuck Oo-oo-oo!
Oh, no!
- What's making everything go wrong? - I think I can guess! Look!
The Puzzler!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Checking out the info now.
Let me tell you what I'm talking about!
# The Puzzler, the Puzzler He's got a tricky mind!
# His bubbles mean trouble If you get trapped inside
# You'd better start thinking If the Puzzler has caught you
# Cos if you can't solve the puzzle The Puzzler will solve you. #
He's got a mean face.
Come, follow me to the Pattern Place.
- The Pattern Place? - Where's that? - We'll find out!
This is a strange place.
Five, there's something on that table!
This is how I set the pattern.
With reds and blues, I make things happen.
I've made it red, red, red, then blue, blue, blue.
So to make things right, what will you do?
We've got agents ringing in!
Pieces make things happen in a pattern.
Red, red, red, left, left, left,
blue, blue, blue, right, right, right.
Change the pattern to make it left, right, left, right, left, right.
So I change the pieces to...
Red, blue, red, blue, red, blue.
# Brain game, brain game To solve the problem, use our brains
# The way to get your brains all linking
# Up together Joined up thinking
# Getting brain power now! Brain game! #
Red, blue, red, blue, red, blue!
- Left! - Right!
Red, blue...
Red, blue, red, blue!
That pattern should put things right!
Red, blue, red, blue, left, right, left, right!
Knife, fork...
knife, then fork!
Cuck-oo! Cuck-oo! Cuck-oo!
Yeah!
You've done quite well, I suppose it's true,
but I've got one more puzzle for you.
Can you guess what people will do
when it's red, red, blue, red, red, blue?
Agents ringing in!
If the pattern changes, what people do will change.
Red, red, blue, red, red, blue.
That's how they'll do things - two of one thing, then one of the other.
Final answer? Well, let's see...
if that is what the pattern will be.
Red, red, blue,
knife, knife, fork.
What will the cuckoo clock do?
Red, red, blue...
Cuck-cuck-oo!
OK, Puzzler - are you happy now?
There's one more game for you to play.
But first you must turn your face away.
Let's add a little mystery.
I move the pieces but you can't see.
Check what people do and then tell me -
in what pattern must the pieces be?
Everyone look at what's happening and see what the pattern is.
Knife, knife...
fork, fork!
Five! The pattern is two of one thing and two of the other thing!
OK, so let me think.
What will the pattern pieces be? It's two of one and another two.
Red, red, blue, blue, red, red, blue, blue!
Ah, yes, you're right - indeed that's true.
Two, reds, two blues is what they do.
Not any more. We're putting things back to normal once and for all.
Brain game! Back to normal!
- Red, blue, red, blue! - Red, blue, red, blue, red, blue!
Red, blue, red, blue, red, blue!
Knife, then a fork, knife, then fork!
Cuck-oo! Cuck-oo!
You Numberjacks - you are a pain!
You've gone and beaten me again!
Yes, you've lost, so off you go!
I'll be back again, you know!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
NUMBERJACKS: Yeah! Now come back, Five!
All clear for landing.
One! Two! Three!
Four! Five!
- Well done, Five! - Well done all of us!
Check it out on screen!
That boy couldn't walk properly!
Things weren't going well in the cafe!
- It was The Puzzler causing all the trouble. - That was a weird place!
There are the pattern pieces, making things go wrong!
We sorted them out again, but we had more puzzles to solve.
We knew what people would do when the pattern pieces changed.
And then we worked out the pattern by watching what people did.
And we beat The Puzzler! Hooray!
Would you like another game, Four?
That depends. Are we taking turns properly?
I think a good pattern for our game would be...
Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, blue!
And I'll be pink.
I don't think so. Look.
Oh!
To make sure we don't get it wrong,
the Buddy Blocks have made the pattern.
- We take turns. - Fair enough. Let's do it.
Glad that Buddy Block pattern sorted things out.
Can you find a pattern like the Buddy Blocks?
Two colours taking turns?
If you can, or any problems, call the Numberjacks!
