Boy, voice-over: OK, there's this really bad dude named Hacker.

THE Hacker, to you.

Boy, voice-over: Whatever.

He wants to take over the cyberworld from Motherboard.

[Gasp] The 3 kids are sucked into Cyberspace, and they use brainpower to help save everybody.

Jackie: OK, here's the plan.

Boy, voice-over: So they travel all over and run into all these weird creatures and have all these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them to save Cyberspace.

Can 3 cool kids and a wacky bird outsmart The Hacker?

Never.

There's only one way to find out: tune in to "Cyberchase"!

<Delete> WHO IS IT?

<Female> CYBER SCOUTS.

<Buzz> MY ORDER OF CYBER SCOUT CANDY!

HEY!

AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA LOVE TO HATE.

THERE IT IS, HACKER.

HAPPILY EVER AFTERVILLE.

...THE LAND OF FAIRY TALES, AND THE PLACE I PARK MY BROOM.

<Hacker> HOME SWEET HOME?

<Wicked> ARE YOU KIDDING?

ALL THESE HAPPY ENDINGS MAKE ME SICK!

I HATE IT!

HERE'S THE PLAN, HANDSOME: YOU KIDNAP THE KING, I BECOME QUEEN, WE TURN THE PLACE INTO MISERABLY EVER AFTER.

WORK FOR YOU?

<Hacker> HM.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT, BUT WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

<Wicked> YOU KNOW WHY THEY CALL YOU THE BIG E DON'T YOU?

<Hacker> BECAUSE I LOOK LIKE ELVIS?

<Wicked> NO, IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE SO...EVIL!

<Hacker> THE BIG E, HUH?

HEY, FLATTERY WILL GET YOU NOWHERE!

<Wicked> BUT HACK, IF YOU CAN'T SAVE ME FROM ALL THIS HAPPINESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO FIND A VILLAIN WHO'S BIG ENOUGH...WHO'S EVIL ENOUGH WHO'S... <Hacker> ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!

I CAN'T BEAR TO SEE A WITCH WAIL.

I'LL DO IT.

<Wicked> THANKS, BIG E. <King> 451!

452!

...453!

<Jack> TEN MORE GOLDEN EGGS, YOUR MAJESTY.

<King> LOVE YOU, GOOSEY.

NOW, WHERE WAS I?

OH YES... 454... 455... WHOOA!

CHICKEN LITTLE WAS RIGHT - THE SKY IS FALLING!

WHOAOAOA...!

<Jack> THE KING HAS BEEN STOLEN!

THE KING HAS BEEN STOLEN!

<Little Pig> WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

<Little Pig> WE NEED A KING TO TELL US!

<Little Pig> WHO WANTS TO BE KING?

<Spider> I'LL GIVE IT A TRY.

(SCREAM!!!)

<Spider> JUST 'CAUSE LITTLE MISS MUFFET GETS SCARED DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO.

<Wicked> HMM...

BEAT IT, FUZZY LEGS.

I AM YOUR NEW QUEEN!

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I'LL TURN YOU ALL INTO COCKROACHES!

<Fairy Tale Folk> LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

<King> EXCUSE ME.

IF YOU RETURN ME TO THE CASTLE, I'LL GIVE YOU AS MANY GOLDEN EGGS AS YOUR EVIL HEART DESIRES.

<Hacker> DID YOU SAY...GOLDEN EGGS?

<King> YEP.

GOLDEN EGGS-A-PLENTY.

JUST PICK A NUMBER.

<Hacker> ANY NUMBER?

<King> OH ANY NUMBER AT ALL.

<Hacker> HA HA HA!

<Wicked> LISTEN UP LITTLE PEOPLE.

ABRACADABRA, SO LONG LAUGHTER, FROM NOW ON, THIS JOINT'S KNOWN AS MISERABLY EVER AFTER.

(CACKLE) <Fairy Tale Folk> (STUNNED GASP!)

<Wicked> ALL HAIL TO THE QUEEN!

<Hacker> NOT SO FAST, WICKED!

THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE OF PLANS.

HACKER?!

<Hacker> GIVE ME 552 GOLDEN - WAIT, MAKE THAT 629 - NO NO NO NO... 777 GOLDEN EGGS.

YEAH, THAT'S A NICE NUMBER.

IF I GET THEM IN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES... THEN THE BIG E - THAT'S ME - RETURNS YOUR KING!

<Wicked> BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE HIM TO THE EDGE OF CYBERSPACE AND TOSS HIM INTO THE RECYCLE BIN!

OOOH!

<Fairy Tale Folk> UHHH!!!

<Wicked> OOPS.

<Jack> SEIZE HER!

<Wicked> NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!

ABRACADABRA, I CAN'T BE DEFEATED, IF YOUR ABILITY TO COUNT IS TOTALLY DELETED!

<Spider> HUH?

<Jack> TAKE HER TO THE TOWER!

<Wicked> MY MAGIC WAND!!!

<Wicked> OH... OF ALL THE TOWERS IN ALL THE CASTLES IN THE KINGDOM, THEY HAD TO LOCK ME IN THIS ONE.

OOOH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS HAIR!

EW!

WHO KNEW RAPUNZEL WAS SUCH A SLOB!

WHAT'S THIS?

<Digit> OH!

BADA-BING, BADA-BOOM!

ANOTHER PERFECT LANDING!

<Wicked> YOOHOO, DOWN THERE!

TIN-BOY!

<Digit> ME?

<Wicked> YEAH, YOU.

CAN YOU DO AN OLD WI- I MEAN, RAPUNZEL A FAVOR?

<Inez> HEY, DIDGE!

WHAT'S UP?

<Digit> 'TIL YOU GOT HERE, I WAS HELPING A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.

<Wicked> HEL-LOOOOOO.

<Matt> THAT'S NO DAMSEL IN DISTRESS - THAT'S A WITCH IN A HAIRBALL!

<Jackie> MAYBE THAT'S THE WICKED WITCH MOTHER B WARNED ME ABOUT?

<Inez> SHE SAID THE WITCH WAS ATTEMPTING TO TRANSFORM THIS PLACE INTO MISERABLY EVER AFTER.

LOOKS LIKE SHE'S OFF TO A GOOD START.

<Jack> AAAH!

<Matt> WHAT WAS THAT?

<Jackie> LET'S CHECK IT OUT!

<Wicked> HEY!

WHAT ABOUT ME?

<Jack> COME ON, PEOPLE!

SOMEONE'S GOTTA KNOW HOW TO COUNT!

<Fairy Tale Folk> COUNT?

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT!

WHAT'S COUNT?

<Jackie> EXCUSE ME, BUT MAYBE WE CAN HELP.

<Little Pig> THE BIG E WANTS A WHOLE LOT OF GOLDEN EGGS OR WE'LL NEVER SEE OUR KING AGAIN!

<Jackie> WHO'S THE BIG E?

<Jack> A FRIEND OF THE WICKED WITCH.

AND HE WANTS 777 GOLDEN EGGS... <Little Pig> BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY 777 IS!

<Little Pig> THAT'S BECAUSE THE WITCH CAST A SPELL SO WE CAN'T COUNT ANYMORE.

<Little Pig> AND WE ONLY HAVE A BUNCHA MINUTES TO FIGURE IT OUT!

<Matt> AND WITH NO KING...

...THEY'RE GOING TO LIVE... <Townsfolk> ...MISERABLY EVER AFTER!

<Jackie> WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE MISERABLY EVER AFTER.

NOBODY!

<Digit> NOT EVEN HACKER?

<Jackie> OKAY, MAYBE HACKER.

BUT NOBODY ELSE!

<Inez> THERE'S ONLY ONE SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA.

WE'LL HELP YOU COUNT!

<Fairy Tale Folk> HURRAH!!!

<Matt> NOT SO FAST!

HOW ARE WE GOING COUNT 777 EGGS IN - WHAT DID THE PIG SAY?

'A BUNCH OF MINUTES.'

<Jackie> WHAT WE NEED IS A PLAN.

MAKE ROOM, I GOTTA PACE.

<Inez> YOU PACE - WE'LL START COUNTING.

<Matt> ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR... <Digit> AT THIS RATE, WE SHOULD BE DONE...

UH... A WEEK FROM TUESDAY!

<Jackie> OOF!

WHAT'S THIS?

<Jack> I USE 'EM TO CARRY GOLDEN EGGS.

I HAVE A WHOLE STACK OVER THERE.

<Jackie> PERFECT!

WE CAN USE THESE TO GROUP THE EGGS.

<Inez> EXCELLENT, JAX.

MATT, TOSS ME SOME EGGS.

8-9...AND 10!

COOL!

EACH BOX HOLDS A GROUP OF 10 EGGS.

<Jack> SO?

<Jackie> DON'T YOU SEE?

IF WE FILL THE BOXES WITH EGGS - WE CAN COUNT BY TEN INSTEAD OF ONE-BY-ONE.

IT'LL BE WAY FASTER.

<Matt> OKAY, FAIRY TALE PEOPLE, WE'VE GOT SOME SERIOUS GROUPING TO DO.

<Spider> I'LL HELP.

<Fairy Tale Folk> (SCREAM!)

<Spider> THEY ALWAYS DO THAT.

I JUST WANT TO BE ACCEPTED - BE A USEFUL MEMBER OF FAIRY TALE SOCIETY!

<Jackie> OH DON'T CRY, SPIDER.

WE'RE NOT AFRAID OF YOU.

<Spider> I ONLY GOT HIT BY A LITTLE BIT OF THE SPELL - SO I SORTA REMEMBER HOW TO COUNT.

<Jackie> JUST FILL THIS BOX AND YOU'LL HAVE 10 EGGS.

<Inez> GROUP AND CONQUER!

<Matt> IS THAT ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR QUOTATIONS?

<Inez> NOPE.

BUT IT HAS A NICE RING TO IT, DON'T YOU THINK?

<Town Crier> HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

REMEMBER HOW MANY SANDS OF TIME WE HAD BEFORE?

WELL, THERE'S A LOT LESS NOW!

<Jackie> OKAY, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

WE'VE GROUPED ALL THE EGGS IN BOXES THAT HOLD 10 EGGS - AND WE'VE GOT 9 EGGS LEFT OVER.

<Matt> BUT, JAX, THE BOXES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

HOW ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET THEM COUNTED IN TIME?

<Jackie> HEY, I'M WORKING ON IT, OKAY!?

MAKE ROOM, I GOTTA PACE!

<Digit> PACING GOING ON!

<Inez> MAKE ROOM!

<Matt> LET'S STACK THESE UP.

<Jackie> A PLAN...WE NEED ANOTHER PLAN.

THAT'S IT!

IF WE STACK UP 10 BOXES LIKE THIS - WE HAVE A GROUP OF 100 EGGS!

<Inez> BECAUSE TEN 10'S EQUALS 100!

<Matt> WHICH MEANS FEWER GROUPS TO COUNT SO WE CAN COUNT FASTER!

START STACKING!

<Jackie> OKAY, EVERYBODY LISTEN UP.

<Fairy Tale Folk> LISTENING UP!

<Jackie> NOW, WE GROUPED ALL THE EGGS IN STACKS OF 100 - BOXES OF 10 AND SINGLES.

IT'S TIME TO ORGANIZE THEM BY GROUPING BOXES WITH BOXES AND STACKS WITH STACKS.

<Inez> (STRUGGLING) I FORGOT, GOLD IS REALLY HEAVY.

<Jack> CAN I HELP?

<Inez> HEH.

OH, LIKE YOU'RE STRONGER?

<Jack> DIDN'T SAY I WAS, BUT I KNOW WHO IS.

<Giant> FE-FI-FO-FUM!

I SMELL THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISHMAN!

<Digit> SAVE IT FOR THE BOOK, BIG GUY, WE NEED A HAND.

NOW THAT'S A HAND!

WHOA!

<Jackie> OKAY, MR.

GIANT, WE'VE GOT 9 SINGLE EGGS IN THIS PLACE.

NOW, WE NEED YOU TO MOVE THE 7 BOXES OF 10 EGGS INTO THIS PLACE HERE.

AND THE 7 STACKS OF 100 EGGS INTO THIS PLACE.

<Hacker> THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR ONE KING IN CYBERSPACE.

ME.

TOO BAD YOU DIDN'T LOOK THE PART.

<King> THAT IS THE CLASSIC HENRY VIII LOOK.

<Buzz> TOO PUFFY, BOSS <Delete> YEAH, WAY TOO PUFFY!

<Hacker> LESS PUFFY!

<King> KING TUT?

<Hacker> TOO DEAD.

<King> KING KONG?

<Hacker> UH... TOO HAIRY.

<Fairy Tale Folk> COUNT 'EM!

COUNT 'EM COUNT 'EM!

<Inez> OKAY SPIDER, COUNT 'EM!

<Spider> I...GEE, I HOPE I CAN DO IT.

<Jackie> I KNOW YOU CAN, SPIDER.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

OKAY?

JUST TELL US HOW MANY GROUPS OF EGGS ARE IN EACH PLACE.

<Spider> ALRIGHT, I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.

<Inez> OKAY, SPIDER, HOW MANY SINGLE EGGS IN THE ONE'S PLACE?

<Spider> UM...1...UH...LET ME THINK...UH, I KNOW THIS...2?

<Inez> RIGHT!

<Spider> IT'S COMING BACK TO ME NOW!

OKAY.

OKAY.

3...4...5-6-... <Jackie> WAY TO GO, SPIDER.

KEEP COUNTING!

<Spider> ...7-8...9!

I DID IT!

HA HA HA!

<Fairy Tale Folk> YEAH!

<Matt> HOW MANY BOXES IN THE TENS PLACE?

<Spider> OKAY OKAY, 1-2-3-4-5-6...LOOK AT ME!

7!

HA HA HA!

WAIT WAIT!

THAT'S JUST 7.

THERE ARE MORE EGGS HERE THAN THAT - AREN'T THERE?

<Jackie> YES, BUT REMEMBER WHAT THIS NUMBER 7 STANDS FOR: 7 BOXES WITH 10 EGGS IN EACH OF THEM.

THAT'S SEVEN 10S, OR 70!

<Matt> LADIES AND GENTS...THE TENS PLACE!

<Fairy Tale Folk> OOOOH!

<Jackie> HOW MANY STACKS IN THIS PLACE?

<Spider> 1-2-3-4-5-6...7!

HA HA!

<1st Little Pig> BUT THAT'S JUST 7!

<2nd Little Pig> WEREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION?

THAT 7 STANDS FOR 7 STACKS - AND THERE ARE 100 EGGS IN EACH STACK!

<3rd Little Pig> OR 700 EGGS!

HEY!

(CHUCKLING) I'M LEARNING TO COUNT AGAIN!

<Spider> THEN THAT MUST BE THE 100S PLACE!

HA HA!

<Jackie> SO OUR COUNT IS: 7-7-9.

THAT'S SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE!

<Spider> BUT...

BUT BIG E SAID 777, NOT 779!

<Matt> NO PROBLEM.

I'LL JUST TAKE AWAY THESE TWO EGGS.

<Jackie> AND THE NEW TOTAL IS...?

<Spider> 7-7-7.

SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN!

AND THAT'S - <Hacker> ACHEM.

A KING'S RANSOM... ...FOR THE NEW KING!

THE BIG E-E!

<All> HACKER!

<Hacker> THAT'S EVIL ELVIS, TO YOU!

AND EVIL ELVIS SAYS IT'S TIME TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF BLUE SUEDE SHOES!

<Hacker> THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU VERY MUCH!

<Spider> YOU GOT YOUR GOLD, NOW GIVE US OUR KING!

(GASP!)

AH!

<Spider> GEE, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

THE BIG E-E IS AFRAID OF SPIDERS!

(LAUGHS) HE'S AFRAID OF ME!!!

<Hacker> ALRIGHT SHAGGY BOOTS, THAT'S GOING TO COST YOU!

THE KING'S RANSOM JUST WENT UP TO UM... 1,300 GOLDEN EGGS!

<Spider> (GASP!)

<Fairy Tale Folk> (GASPS!)

<Matt> BUT WE'VE ONLY GOT TWO EGGS LEFT.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE?

<Hacker> THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!

I WANT THE REST OF THOSE EGGS BY SUNDOWN - OR YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR KING AGAIN!

(EVIL LAUGHTER) <Town Crier> SO MUCH FOR THE SANDS OF TIME!

<Town Crier> HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

THE SUN IS ABOUT TO SET, ON THE REST OF OUR LIVES!

OHH!

<Jackie> SO, GOOSE, HOW MANY EGGS CAN YOU LAY BY SUNSET?

<Golden Goose> HEY, I'M A GOOSE WITH A GIFT - NOT FORT KNOX.

COME ON!

<Spider> WAIT A MINUTE!

OVER THE YEARS, GOOSE HAS GIVEN US ALL GOLDEN EGGS AS PRESENTS, REMEMBER?

<Jack> SPIDER'S RIGHT!

EVERYONE GO GET YOUR EGGS AND BRING THEM HERE.

HURRY!

<Fairy Tale Folk> EGGS TO SAVE THE KING EGGS TO SAVE THE KING!

<Wicked> WHAT'S THE RUSH, PORKCHOP?

<3rd Little Pig> HACKER JUST RAISED THE KING'S RANSOM BY A LOT OF EGGS!

<Wicked> HMMM, HE BETRAYS ME, HE BETRAYS THEM.

THIS GUY'S GOT POTENTIAL.

<Inez> YOU THINK WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH?

<Matt> I DON'T KNOW.

1300 EGGS IS A PRETTY BIG OMELET.

<Jackie> OKAY GUYS, WE USE THE SAME GROUPING SYSTEM WE USED BEFORE.

<1st Little Pig> UH...

THIS PLACE IS FOR THE STACKS OF 100 EGGS!

<2nd Little Pig> THIS PLACE IS FOR THE 10-FLATS.

<3rd Little Pig> AND THIS PLACE IS FOR THE LEFTOVERS!

<Fairy Tale Folk> GROUP AND CONQUER!

<Wicked> FETCH!

OH WHY DIDN'T I GET THE BROOM WITH THE FLYING DUSTPAN?!

<Jackie> OKAY, SPIDER, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

<Spider> 5 STACKS IN THE HUNDREDS PLACE.

1-2... 2 BOXES IN THE TENS PLACE.

AND 2 EGGS IN THE ONES PLACE.

HA HA!

<Jackie> THAT'S 500...AND 20...AND 2.

<Fairy Tale Folk> FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO!

<Spider> OH TROUBLE, TROUBLE!

SINCE BIG E HAS THE OTHER EGGS - HOW DO WE KNOW OUR EGGS AND HIS TOTAL 1300?

<Inez> SIMPLE!

WE JUST MOVE THESE EGGS OUT OF THE WAY AND ADD THE NUMBERS.

<Spider> MOVE THE EGGS?

WE STARTED TO... MOVE THEM?

<Matt> SURE.

WE DON'T NEED THE EGGS NOW BECAUSE THE TWO SETS OF NUMBERS STAND FOR ALL THE EGGS.

<Jack> NO PROBLEM!

<Giant> FE-FI-FO-FUM... <Digit> WE KNOW, WE KNOW!

JUST MOVE THE EGGS, BIG BOY!

<Fairy Tale Folk> ADD THE NUMBERS!

ADD THE NUMBERS!

<Jackie> OKAY, LET'S START IN THE ONES PLACE FOR SINGLE EGGS.

7 PLUS 2 IS...9 EGGS, DIGIT.

<Digit> CHECK!

<Jackie> OKAY, SPIDER, YOU DO THE TENS PLACE.

<Spider> 7 PLUS 2 IS...

UH, EASY GUYS.

IT'S 9 - JUST LIKE THE SINGLES COLUMN.

<Jackie> RIGHT ON, SPIDER.

NOW, LET'S DO THE 100'S COLUMN.

<Spider> OKAY!

I HAVE THE COUNTING BUG!

HA HA!

OKAY, NOW 7 PLUS 5, THAT MAKES 12!

<Jackie> YOU GO, SPIDER!

<Spider> JUST ONE THING... HOW COME THERE'S 2 DIGITS IN THE 100'S COLUMN?

<Jackie> IMAGINE IT THIS WAY, SPIDER.

THAT 12 REPRESENTS 12 STACKS OF 100'S.

<Matt> OR, 1200 EGGS!

<Jackie> AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

1,200.

MATT, WE NEED A COLUMN FOR THE THOUSANDS.

<Matt> THAT ONE IN THE NEW COLUMN REPRESENTS 10 ONE HUNDREDS.

OR, 1,000.

<Jackie> AND THAT GIVES US THE GRAND TOTAL OF... EGGS HACKER HAS, PLUS THE ONES WE JUST COLLECTED!

<Spider> 1...2...9...9... ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED, NINETY AND NINE.

<Fairy Tale Folk> ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE!

<Matt> ALL RIGHT!

<Inez> HOLD THE PARTY, GUYS.

HACKER WANTS ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED - NOT ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE!

<Hacker> TIME'S UP, FAIRYLANDERS!

<Hacker> WHAT?!

ONLY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY NINE EGGS?!

I ASKED FOR ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED!

YOU'RE SHORT ONE EGG!

LOOKS LIKE EVIL ELVIS WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOUR KING.

(EVIL LAUGH) <Jack> NO WAIT!

I THINK I KNOW WHERE THERE MIGHT BE ONE MORE EGG.

WICKED WITCH, WICKED WITCH, WE NEED ONE MORE EGG TO GET OUR KING BACK!

<Spider> YOU DO HAVE ONE, DON'T YOU?

<Wicked> SURE I HAVE AN EGG, AND YOU CAN HAVE IT ON TWO CONDITIONS.

ONE, GET ME OUT OF RAPUNZEL'S HAIR.

AND TWO, GIVE ME BACK MY WAND!

NOW.

<Jack> HERE IT IS BIG E. 1,299 + 1 IS 1300!

<All> YES!

<Fairy Tale Folk> HOORAY!

LONG LIVE THE KING!

<Wicked> AS FOR YOU HACKER, YOU BETRAYED THE WRONG WITCH!

ABRACADABRA IS WHAT I SAY!

COUGH UP THE GOLD AND... ...GO, GO FAR, FAR AWAY!

OH!

I FEEL SO GOOD - I'LL REMOVE MY SPELL SO EVERYONE CAN COUNT AGAIN.

<Jack> YOU'RE TOO LATE, WICKED.

WE LEARNED HOW TO COUNT AGAIN IN SPITE OF YOU.

<Wicked> YOU DID???

THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR BUYING ON SALE!

<King> OH, WICKED, WICKED, YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

BE MY QUEEN AND TOGETHER WE'LL GROW OLD.

<Wicked> UHH!

MARRY YOU AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?!

NOT ON YOUR LIFE!

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE GREATER OF TWO EVILS.

BIG E-E!

WAIT FOR ME!

<Spider> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE OUR KING BACK IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU.

LET'S FACE IT.

<Jackie> YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE THANKED, SPIDER.

YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DID.

<Spider> I JUST WANTED TO HELP.

YOU KNOW ME... <Jack> HEY, SPIDER!

YOU WANT TO HANG OUT?

<Spider> YOU WANT ME TO HANG OUT WITH YOU?

REALLY?

THIS IS A...

I GOTTA MAKE A PHONE CALL... <Jack> YEAH, SURE!

COME ON!

WE'RE GOING TO GO COUNT SOME BLACKBIRDS.

<Matt> MAN, TALK ABOUT A HAPPY ENDING!

<Inez> GOOD JOB, GUYS.

<Giant> UM.

ANYONE LOOKING FOR THIS?

<All> WHOAAAAAA...!!!

<Fairy Tale Folk> MAY YOU LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

<Digit> STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE - IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL.

<Bianca> WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS THE BEST RUNNER, TAG, RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT, OLLIE OLIE OXEN FREE!

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!

BUT, NOW THAT I'M OLDER I DON'T RUN SO WELL.

MY FRIEND DARCY, SAYS I RUN LIKE A RABBIT.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT SHE MEANT I WAS FAST.

BUT THEN SHE SAID I HAVE THIS HOP, SKIP AND JUMP TO MY RUN.

SO I VOLUNTEERED TO WORK FOR THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON.

MAYBE A CAN GET SOME POINTERS.

HERE'S MY POST.

<Maya> WATCHA DOING?

<Bianca> THERE'LL BE OVER 30,000 RUNNERS COMING THROUGH HERE SOON.

I HAVE TO COUNT AND SEE HOW MANY ACTUALLY PASS THIS POINT.

<Maya> HOW'RE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?

<Bianca> WELL, IT TOOK A LOT OF THINKING.

30,000 IS A BIG NUMBER AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE TRACK.

AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO USE A CHART WITH TALLY MARKS.

I WOULD PUT A TALLY IN THIS COLUMN AND WHEN I MADE TEN MARKS, I WOULD PUT A TALLY IN THE TENS COLUMN.

WHEN I HAD TEN TALLIES IN THE TENS COLUMN, I WOULD MAKE A MARK IN THE HUNDREDS COLUMN.

I COULD COUNT THAT WAY INTO THE MILLIONS.

<Maya> BUT WOULDN'T YOU HAVE OVER 30,000 TALLIES IN THE ONES COLUMN?

<Bianca> OH, YOU FIGURED THAT OUT?

WELL THEN I BOUGHT ONE OF THESE COUNTERS.

EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE BUTTON THE NUMBER CHANGES.

BUT IT ONLY HAS FOUR PLACES SO THE LARGEST NUMBER IT CAN COUNT IS- <Maya> IS 9999.

HOW'RE YOU GOING TO COUNT THEM?

<Bianca> WELL, WITH THIS.

IT'S GOT TEN BEADS IN EACH ROW.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

AS EACH RUNER COMES ACROSS, I MOVE A BEAD TO THE RIGHT.

WHEN I MOVE ALL TEN BEADS ACROSS, I'LL SLIDE THEM BACK AND MOVE ONE BEAD ONE THE NEXT ROW DOWN TO THE RIGHT.

THAT'S THE TENS ROW.

THEN I'LL START COUNTING USING THE BEADS IN THE ONES PLACE AGAIN.

WHEN I'VE MOVED THEM ALL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN, I SLIDE THEM BACK AND MOVE ANOTHER BEAD IN THE TENS PLACE.

ONES, TENS, HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, TEN THOUSANDS, HUNDRED THOUSANDS.

I INVENTED IT!

ISN'T IT COOL?

<Maya> IT'S AN ABACUS, RIGHT?

<Bianca> WELL, YES, BUT - MINE HAS COLOURS, IT CAN GO INTO THE MILLIONS.

LOOK HERE THEY COME!

THAT'S DANGEROUS.

HEY WATCH OUT.

GET AWAY.

AHH!

KEEP THE COUNT, KEEP THE COUNT.

I CAN RUN!

THREE BEADS IN THE TEN THOUSANDS COLUMN, THAT'S 30,000.

TWO IN THE THOUSANDS COLUMN, MAKE IT 32,000 PLUS 500, SEVEN TENS AND THREE ONES.

32,573!

SHE DID IT.

DEAR BIANCA, I COUNTED ALL THE RUNNERS WITH MY MOM- <Maya> --WE COUNTED 32,573.

YOUR ABACUS WORKED GREAT.

YOU RAN LIKE A GAZELLE.

<Bianca> I THINK YOU'RE COOL.

MAYA.
