08x01 - The Hacker's Challenge

[bunniefuu]

Ok! There's this
really bad dude named Hacker.

THE Hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

the cyberworld
from Motherboard.

The three kids
are sucked into cyberspace

and they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Ok, here's the plan.

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 three cool kids and a
wacky bird outsmart The Hacker?

NEVER!

There's only
one way to find out.

Tune in to CyberChase.

Cyberchase - we're moving

we're b*ating
Hacker at his game.

Don't tell me that he's
trying to hack the Motherboard

we'll get him every time.

Freaky places that we've seen.

We've got the power
of one, two, three, four!

Running in the Cyberchase

We meet him face to face

We'll stick
together all the time

Adventures in cyberspace

The chase is on!

C-y-b-e-r-chase!

Welcome to the reunion...

a time for old friends
to meet new friends, and...

...Mother B?

Nope! Just another old friend.

What did you do
with Motherboard, Hacker?!

She'll be back shortly,
my little cyberturkey -

it's Solaria
you need to worry about!

I'm about to
reformat it into nothing more

than bits
and bytes of CyberCode!

You can't do that!

Oh, yes I can.

Behold, the latest and greatest
invention from The Hacker...

The Reconfiguratron!

Omigosh!

That's terrible!

Isn't it? From beautiful to
binary in a matter of seconds!

Imagine what it will
do to the rest of Solaria!

You know we're not gonna
let that happen, Hacker!

Oh, of course not!

In fact, I'm going to give you
every opportunity to stop me.

You are?

I am indeed!
This is The Hacker's Challenge!

It will test
the brainpower of all

you earthbrats
- and cyberbrats too.

Once you arrive at Solaria,
you'll have exactly

three hours
to disarm the Reconfiguratron!

By the way, all of
Cyberspace will be watching.

I have cameras
aimed across the site!

Once and for all, my
superiority will be confirmed!

And your abject humiliation
will be plain for all to see!

So what do you say?

Will you take the challenge?

YES!

Okay! Now that we've
split you up into three teams -

let's see
how smart you really are.

Here are the rules.

Each team
goes to a different place -

these thingies
will tell you how to get there.

When you
get where you're going,

each team will find
a different puzzle to solve.

If you solve it,
you get directions

to where the Reconfiguratron is.

And all three teams
gotta solve their puzzle.

If not ...bzzzzzzt...

Solaria turns to trash!

Oh, we almost forgot.

Teams can't talk to other teams.

So hand in your Skwaks - now!

Thank you... thank you...

thank you... and thank you!

Good luck -
you're gonna need it! He-he.

Let's see where we have to go.

Yellow Team. Travel two point
one cybermiles into the Jungle.

Find the Six Holes
of Arachnipod Crossing.

Your puzzle awaits you there.

Purple Team. Travel
two point eight cybermiles

to the caves of Solaria.

Find the Grotto
of Sunken Skulls.

Your puzzle awaits you there.

Green Team. Travel
three point five cybermiles

to the Lost Lagoon.

Your puzzle awaits you there.

According
to the Solaria Fun Guide,

those are the most
dangerous locations on Solaria -

and normally closed to tourists.

Guys, think positive - we can
b*at Hacker at his own game.

We have to!

It's all about teamwork.

All for one - and one for all!

YEAH!

And so, The Hacker's
Challenge has begun!

Welcome to T-H-N...
The Hacker Network.

In two hours
and thirty-one minutes,

Solaria will be reduced
to digital garbage.

Unless, of course, the three
teams of simpering earthbrats

and their pathetic pals

unravel the prodigious
puzzles produced by yours truly

and shut down
the Reconfiguratron!

But...as the wise man once said:

Fat chance of that happening!

Let's check in
and see how they're doing.

You have arrived
at your destination:

The Caves of Solaria.

Proceed to the
Grotto of Sunken Skulls.

You are one cyber mile
from your destination.

Travel by water to Lost Lagoon.

Down there! A raft!

Push us off, Didge!

...Are we there yet?

Yellow Team. You have arrived
at Arachnipod Crossing.

And those must
be the Arachnipods!

Ewww! Those are
some humongous spiders!

How are we
supposed to get past them?

And where's our puzzle?

What's that?

Our puzzle!

And more spiders!

Yeah... but these guys are cute.

Thanks. Here's your puzzle.

We're numbered one through six.

To cross the Crossing -
put us in a triangle -

so each side adds up to nine.

Good luck!

Look! There are
six holes in the triangle.

One for each spider.

Looks like we'll
have to guess who goes where

to make each side
add up to nine.

We're gonna guess?

That doesn't sound like
a good way to solve a problem.

I mean experiment...
try some numbers...

see what we find out.

Let's move
some spiders around.

Come on,
let's start experimenting.

Okay.
Let's try one, two and three.

So, each side
has to add up to nine.

One plus two equals three...

plus three equals...
ahhh... six.

No good. Out you come, guys.

So? What did we learn?

That one plus two plus three

gives us a number
less than nine.

So putting the smaller
numbers in a row won't work.

What if we put the biggest
numbers in the corners?

Try it!

Look - four plus five is nine!

Oh wait, that's bad -
there's a number missing.

The other sides
don't work either.

They're too big - see?

Four plus six equals ten

and five plus six equals eleven.

We need nine!

Sorry, guys. Out again.

We're running out of time!

Are we really learning
anything from our guesses?

Lots! Now we know we have to mix

big and
small numbers on each side.

OK... so what if we
try getting one side right...

and go from there?

Primo idea, Fluff!

Let's try starting with
two and three on one side.

Two plus three equals five...

which means the
middle one has to be four!

Yes! Two plus three
plus four is nine!

We've got one side working!

Yeah!
Now for the other two sides!

How 'bout if we
try number one over here?

Three plus one is four.

We need a five to make nine!

Number five comin' in!

Now two sides add up to nine!

The only guy left is number six.

He's gotta go here!

Uh-oh.
Look what we have on the bottom.

Two plus six is eight...
plus five is thirteen.

That's way too much!

What if we
switch the one and the five?

Moving day, guys!

Two plus six is eight...
plus one is nine!

Three plus five
plus one equals nine!

Two plus four
plus three equals nine!

We did it!

Gee! Experimenting with
different numbers really works!

Congratulations!
You solved the puzzle.

Follow path
to the Reconfiguratron.

Lucky little brats!

But...there are still
two puzzles to be solved -

or I shred Solaria
into digital bits!

The next puzzle
won't be so easy!

I used to be afraid
of dark caves, you know.

Not anymore.

AHHHHHHHH!

I think something
just woke up!

And they don't look happy.

We've got to get them to move

or we'll never reach
the Grotto of Sunken Skulls!

Lights, please.

The Grotto of Sunken Skulls
is guarded by Troglobytes.

Does it tell you
how to get them to move?

Unfortunately... no.

Maybe if we
just ask them nicely.

Come on, Inez...
they're Troglobytes!

It's a worth a try.

Excuse me, but could you
please move so we can get by?

The Grotto of Sunken Skulls!

What do you know -
politeness worked!

Uh-oh!
I think we just got trapped.

Purple Team. You have arrived
at the Grotto of Sunken Skulls.

Find the Sedimentary Sentry.

The Sedimentary Sentry?

[LOUD BURP]

Sorry, I have a
slight bit of indigestion.

Who said that?

I did. Hello, how are you.

I am the Sedimentary Sentry.

You're alive?!

If you call this living.

Hey, you're a
wonderful audience!

How are you darling?

Hmmm, a talking rock.

Do you know the
Jam Master of Jimaya?

Yeah,
he's my cousin. You know 'im?

No offense, Mr. Sentry,
but we need to get outta here

so we can save Solaria.

Where's the exit?

No exit darling, only entry.

Unless you can solve the puzzle.

That's what
we're here for. Tell us!

I am thinking... of a number.

What is it?

THAT'S our puzzle?
Guess a number?

It could be anything! No fair!

Okay, fine!
The number is less than ten.

The number is less than ten!

And it's a multiple of three.

A multiple of three!

Subtract four from it,
and it's divisible by five.

Subtract four -
divide by five!

What's the number?

Ya get two guesses! It's fine...

We need to work
through this together -

experiment
to find the correct answer.

I like your style,
little lady.

Okay. We know
the number is less than ten -

and it's a multiple of three.

Which numbers
are multiples of three?

Those are the
only ones we need to try.

Well...
three times one is three.

Three times two is six.

Three times three is nine.

Three times
four is twelve - oops! Too big!

So the number
is either three, six or nine!

Is it six?

Oh, baby, you ROCK!

Rock... am I the
only one who's getting these?

Everybody's a critic!

However,
six is the wrong answer.

One guess down, one to go!

Oh, no! The next guess
is our last guess.

We have to get it right!

OK, guys, what do we know?

The number is less than ten
and it's a multiple of three.

What was
the third clue, Jules?

Subtract four from the number
and it's divisible by five.

Well, it can't be three...

because subtracting four
gives us negative one.

And it can't be six -
we just guessed that.

So the right answer
has to be nine!

Let's test it.

Okay...
nine minus four... is five.

And five divided by five is one!

Nine meets
all three requirements -

and it's
the only number that does!

The number is nine!

Bingo! Good work!

[LOUD BURP]

Sorry 'bout that.

Congratulations!
You have solved the puzzle.

Follow the path
to Reconfiguratron.

Right this way,
ladies and germs.

The Reconfiguratron
is just a stone's throw away!

Stone's throw...
Who writes this stuff?

Buzz! Delete!

I told you to
make the puzzles HARD!

But, Boss...
you made up the puzzles!

I did?

Yeah,
even we couldn't figure 'em out.

You two duncebuckets
couldn't figure your way

out of a wet paper bag!

As you've seen, two of
the three teams have solved

their puzzles
in The Hacker's Challenge.

However, let me
remind you, all three teams

must solve
their puzzle - or game over!

The question is,
will the Green Team solve

their puzzle
before time runs out?

Or will The Hacker
triumph and reformat Solaria

into a giant ball of nothin'?

NOOOOO! Dudes!

Only time will tell.

Uh oh! This is gonna get bumpy!

I'm not afraid!

I am!

Whooooaaa!

YOIKES!

Whoo!

Whoa!

Cyboids were NOT designed
for underwater travel!

Green Team. You have
arrived at the Lost Lagoon.

Catch a pair of LumaFish

They must add up to nine

And multiply to twenty

To make them brightly shine!

LumaFish? What's a LumaFish?

Oh.

You looking for us?

We are if you're a LumaFish.

Yep.
You've come to the right lagoon.

To solve the puzzle,
we need to catch

two of them whose
numbers add up to nine.

And also multiply to twenty.

And when the right two are put
together, they'll light up!

But which two?

I don't know.
Let's just catch a couple

and try some combinations.

Wait! The numbers
have to add up to nine

so those are the
only fish we need to catch!

Um... which two numbers
are we talkin' about?

Eight and one adds up to nine.

Let's try those!

Uggh... d'oh.

Got 'em!

But they aren't glowing!

What did we do wrong?

Eight plus one
definitely adds up to nine!

But the numbers also have to
multiply to twenty, remember?

Eight times one is only eight.

Sorry, fishies...

Let's try
some other combinations.

Time out. Instead
of trying to catch 'em all -

it might be easier
to draw up a little table

and work with that first.

Hey, we can draw on this rock!

We already know
eight plus one doesn't work.

What other
combos add up to nine?

Seven! Seven plus equals nine!

But seven times two
is only fourteen. No good.

Try six next, TW.

Six plus three equals nine.

And six times three
equals... eighteen.

Too small!

Yeesh!
We're never gonna get this!

Yes we will!

Each experiment cuts down
on the numbers that are left.

We're guaranteed to find the
right ones if we stay in order.

Try five next!

Five plus four equals nine.

And five times four
equals... twenty!

YES!

We got it!

Okay, four and five...
come to Didgie!

Ahhh...

GOT 'EM!

YES!

Way to go, Didge!

Instead of just
taking wild guesses,

narrowing down our
choices did the trick!

Congratulations!
You solved the puzzle.

Follow the path
to Reconfiguratron.

What!
The three teams have somehow...

managed to solve
their puzzles - but The Hacker

has one more surprise for them.

Yeah!

Finally!

We made it!

Hey, everyone!

Hello, Earthbrats.

You have reached
the Reconfiguratron!

But there's something
I neglected to tell you.

You have to solve
just one more teensy puzzle

before you can
shut down the Reconfiguratron

and save Solaria!

WHAT? Another challenge?!

And you have just
four minutes to solve the puzzle

before Solaria
becomes a data dump!

Okay, contestants... listen up.

Here's the final puzzle:

Gnomie is wearing
one hat, and two boots.

If you had sixty-six
boots and hats combined

how many Gnomes would you have?

Oh, and you only get one guess!

Enter the right answer
before the time reaches zero...

or you lose!

This is impossible!

No, it isn't Didge.

It's just
like with the Lumafish.

We can use a table
to organize our guesses.

Great strategy!
Let's start with one Gnome.

I'll draw a table.

One Gnome
wears two boots and one hat,

for a total of three
boots and hats.

Way too few.
Let's try ten Gnomes!

Each Gnome has
two feet and one head.

So ten times two...
is twenty boots.

And ten times one is ten hats.

Ten Gnomes...

Twenty boots...

Ten hats.

For a total of... thirty!

Still way short of sixty-six.

Since ten Gnomes
is still too few,

lets triple the number
of Gnomes and see what we get!

Thirty Gnomes means
sixty boots plus thirty hats.

Ninety total! Whoa!

Too many this time.

We need to end up
somewhere in between.

Since ten Gnomes aren't enough

and thirty Gnomes
are way too many,

let's try a number
right in the middle... twenty.

Okay! Twenty Gnomes
wear forty boots...

and twenty hats.

Twenty plus forty
is sixty boots and hats.

Sixty?
That's close to sixty-six!

Each time we add
a Gnome to our guess,

it takes
our total up by three...

cause it adds two boots
and one hat to the total.

So adding one more Gnome
would add two boots and one hat,

giving us sixty-three!

And adding two Gnomes would
add four boots and two hats.

Bringing our total
to forty-four boots

and twenty-two hats.

Forty-four
plus twenty-two equals...

Sixty-six boots and hats!

That's it!
The answer is sixty-six!

Didge, wait! Look -

we need the number
of gnomes so the answer is -

Twenty-two! Yeesh!

Thanks, Nezzie!

You're welcome
and don't call me -

Oh, just hurry, Didge!

WE DID IT!

Not so fast, cyberbrats!

You may have followed the rules,

but that doesn't mean I will!

Buzz, Delete...
restart the Reconfiguratron!

What?!

Right away, Boss - Ugh!

OOOPS!

It's back on, boss!

Uh-oh...

Ahhhhh!

The boss definitely isn't
gonna be happy about that!
