08x03 - Peace, Love, and Hackerness

Post by bunniefuu »

Okay, 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 movin'

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 Far Out Radio.

Where the good vibes rock,

and the bad times roll on by.

I'm your host DJ Groovy,
comin' atcha from

the site that's Outta Site.

Time to kick back and listen to

the mellowest music
in Cyberspace.

Swing and sway, groovesters.

Huh! That was odd.

Did you see those
borgettes smiling at me?

No one ever dares
to smile at The Hacker!

Buzz? Delete?

Stop that silly swaying!

But it's
DJ Groovy's music, boss!

He makes me feel all
warm and fuzzy... and groovy!

Time now
for a good news break.

Today's good news is about -
hang onto your hula hoops -

The Hacker!

Moi?

A new Far Out Radio poll
shows that Hacker's Fear Rating

has plummeted to four per cent!

That's right -
only four cyber-citizens

out of a hundred
think Hacker is scary.

What?!

Hardly anyone in Cyberspace
fears The Hacker anymore!

How could that be?!

How could that be?

Take a gander at this.

The Hacker...

Yesterday's most feared borg...

is just not scary anymore.

That's not true!

Wanna play jump rope?

Jump rope?!

To be honest, Hacker -

and I believe in
giving it to you straight -

your Fear Rating is in trouble.

How much trouble, CS?

Serious trouble.
It's nearly zero!

You're about as scary
as dearly docile DJ Groovy.

But nobody
is afraid of DJ Groovy!

My point exactly!

He's all about peace,
love and happiness.

Pretty soon nobody
will ever fear you again!

What am I going to do?!

Easy there, big guy.

I, Cool Starmaker, have rescued

other falling stars
from far worse.

Look at me. If you
truly wish to be feared again -

you'll have to do something bad.

Something nasty...

Yes, yes, how nasty?

Something so dastardly...

Uh-huh...uh-huh...

So vile...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

You, me and some special guests

will leave immediately
for Outta Site.

The unruffled, untroubled
home of the Rebooter Bees.

There, you will redeem your
place in the halls of evil

by putting
an end to Far Out Radio!

I LOVE IT!

Next up, a special dedication
to all my bee-buds...

It's a mellow melody from
one of your faves and mine:

The Melody Drones.

What are we doing here, CS?

Is the
humbled Hacker going to make

mellow music with DJ Groovy?

Au contraire! The Hacker is here

to do something nasty,
something dastardly,

something so vile...

That it will
make front page headlines

in all your newspapers!

I can't believe
what you just did!

It was so nasty,
so dastardly, so vile!

Ah, yes! Those words
are music to my ears.

Digit! Emergency!

Hacker just
destroyed the antenna

for Far Out Radio.

What?!

No! I love that music!

So do the Rebooter Bees
at the computer chip factory.

No music means unhappy bees.

And unhappy bees
mean no pollination.

No pollination means
no rebooted computer chips.

Yoikes! All of Cyberspace
would shut-down!

Summon the Cybersquad NOW!

Hey! It was totally nice
of you guys to stop by!

Don't worry, DJ, we'll get
the music back on the air!

And the Rebooter Bees
will be back to work pronto!

Chill...okay?

All we need is a new antenna

and I'll be back
on the air in a flash.

I'm just waiting for Joe the
Antenna Guy to call me back.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

That's him now.

Joe? I need a new antenna.

I can get one
out to you right away.

How long was the old one?

How long? Uh...don't know.

The new one's gotta
be the exact same length

as the old one or it won't work.

Wrong length - no music.

Like, we need to know the
exact length of the old antenna.

DJ...what's with the music?

The Rebooter Bees
won't work without it!

I know, Hector. I'm off the air!

Hey guys, we can just
order a new antenna - but first

we have to find out
how long the old one was.

So? Big buzz! Just measure it.

Can't. The old antenna
was blown to bits.

Wait!
I just thought of something!

Whoa! Look at that!

The antenna
got blasted into six pieces.

Yep. Two pieces landed
in Funky Forest.

Two in Jazzy Valley.

And the last two
at Ginchy Gulf.

We better split up.

All we have
to do is find the pieces -

add up how long each one is -

and that will tell us
how long the antenna was.

Remember, we need to measure the
lengths with great accuracy -

or the new antenna won't work.

No worries here!

Accuracy is my middle name.

What's accuracy?

It means gettin' the numbers
right and not makin' a mistake.

C'mon, Didge, let's you
and me hit the Funky Forest!

Man,
this forest is funky, all right.

Keep your eyes peeled
for those pieces, Hector!

Gotcha!
You watch out for the--

...trees!

AHHHH!

Umph!

So much for not
making a mistake.

You okay?

Better than okay!

We found the antenna pieces.

All we gotta do
is measure 'em!

How long is it?

One hundred cyber
inches long - on the nose!

Let's measure the other piece.

Wh-uh, measurement problem!

This piece is longer than
the fifty cyber inch mark -

but it doesn't reach fifty-one.

What does this
little mark mean?!

I guess it means halfway.

Guessin' isn't
good enough, Didge.

Inez said we gotta know the
length "with great accuracy."

Hello leaf!
You just gave me an idea...

One cyber inch long!

No more, no less!

And one cyber inch
of leaf folded neatly

in half equals
one half cyber inch!

So this little mark
means half a cyber inch!

Yep!
And that means this piece is

fifty and one half
cyber inches long!

Now add
the two measurements together

and we'll know the total length.

Okay, so it's one hundred
plus fifty and a half.

Makes sense to me.

So I can just
add the whole numbers,

and then the extra half.

For a total of one hundred
fifty and one half cyber inches!

Way to go, Hector!

A measurement
with "great accuracy"!

What's up, Gordon!

A total breakdown!

The bees
aren't rebooting the chips!

Pollination
has come to a complete stop.

I repeat,
pollination has stopped!

YEOOOOWW!

It's a MUTINY!

The bees
are leavin' the factory!

WE NEED THE MUSIC NOW!

Oh brother,
this is bad - real bad.

No music... no bees...

no chips... no Cyberspace!

We're almost to Ginchy Gulf.

Uh-oh! You see what I see?

Buzz and Delete!

You really
think we should do this?

You heard the boss.

No one better mess up his plan
- especially those Earthbrats!

Whoa-kay!

Ahhhhh!

I guess Hacker
knows we're here!

That's a problem!

I see another problem!

Ahhhhh!

I've got
your latest Fear Rating.

Did it go up? Down?

Down? Up?

OPEN IT!

Sorry.

Your Fear Rating has gone...

...up to sixty-four percent!

Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

The antenna pieces!

The Rebooter bees!

They sure look angry.

They need a groovy
tune to chill 'em out.

Here, you measure -

I'll see what
I can do about the groovy tune!

[HUMMING]

It's working!

We can't let 'em
get those measurements!

Don't worry, Deedee
- you gotta be

really smart to figure that out.

Like us, huh? Ha ha ha!

Wait...
what was I laughing about?

Inez! What's the mark in the
middle between ten and eleven?

♪ It's the half-inch mark. ♪

Got it! So like
the shorter piece measures

ten and a half cyber inches.

Now the other piece!

Hey hey... the middle line.

It's between
fifteen and sixteen.

It's fifteen and
a half cyber inches long!

♪ Now write it down. ♪

♪ We need the total
length of the two pieces. ♪

Okay so like ten and a half

plus fifteen
and a half equals... whoa!

How do you add ten and a
half plus fifteen and a half?!

♪ Start with what you know. ♪

♪ Adding up the whole numbers. ♪

♪ That'll make it
easier to think about. ♪

Awesome! The whole numbers
add up to twenty-five.

Now for the fractions.

Okay,
so one plus one equals two.

And two plus two
equals four! Easy!

Hey, Inez! Does one half
plus one half equal two fourths?

Oh, no... they figured it out!

♪ No! One half plus one half ♪

♪ makes two halves,
not two fourths. ♪

I...I knew that!

Huh!
Then how'd I get two fourths?

Oh, yeah! The bottom
numbers don't get added -

they just tell me the fractions
I'm adding are halves.

So when you add one half plus
one half, you get two halves.

And two halves is a whole!

So twenty five plus two halves

is the same
as twenty five plus one...

which is twenty six!

Inez!
The total length of both pieces

is twenty-six cyber inches!

♪ Great job, DJ! Now let's go! ♪

Stop! You're not goin' anywhere!

And stop with that humming!

Like,
you don't want her to do that.

You heard what
Buzzy said - stop humming!

♪ Okay! ♪

Have it your way!

AHHHH!

Alright! Far out!

Back to the station!

A toast. To me, of course!

Well, I have
a surprise for you, Hacker.

Your new Fear Rating.

Your rating has gone up...

to eighty-seven percent!

YES!

The Hack is Back!

Who wants to buy a T-shirt?

Hang ten, Jax!

Ginchy Gulf, dead ahead!

Matt! The antenna pieces!

C'mon, let's measure 'em.

How long is it?

Um...
sixty-two and a little bit!

How much is a little bit?
We gotta get this right.

I'm not sure...

There are one-two-three-four
equal spaces

between
sixty-two and sixty-three.

So each mark measures off
another one fourth cyber inch!

So the first piece is sixty-two

and one fourth
cyber inches long.

AHHHHHH!

Am I dreaming -
or was that Buzz and Delete?

It was! And the Rebooter Bees.

Uh-oh! We've got company!

And they're not happy!

Bees, please!
We're trying to help you!

Just give us
a couple minutes, ok?

Hurry, we gotta measure
the second piece!

It's seventy-six and
two fourths cyber inches long!

Got it!
C'mon, we're on your side!

Let's go before
Buzz and Delete come back!

But we didn't add
the two lengths together!

We'll add 'em up
at the radio station! C'mon!

AHHHHHH!

Matt... Jackie!
We found our pieces - did you?

Found and measured!

We just didn't
have time to add 'em up.

That's okay. We can add up
all the measurements now.

Like, then we'll know
how long the old antenna was -

and we can get the new one!

Uh-oh! If they get a new antenna
they can restart the music!

We gotta stop 'em!

How? We can't stop anything.

I know. We better call the Boss.

Congratulations, Hacker.

Your Fear Rating
is now one hundred percent!

You're the most feared
borg in all of Cyberspace.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Must be my fan club.

The Hacker speaking.

They're doing what?!

We have a problem!

Those Earthbrats are trying to
get DJ Groovy back on the air!

Now, now. Try not
to look at this as a problem.

Look at it as... an opportunity!

An opportunity... yes.

A chance to prove why
you're the most feared borg

in all of Cyberspace!

Okay, people... measurements.

We got one hundred fifty
and one half cyber inches

total length for our pieces!

Ours totaled
twenty-six cyber inches.

One of ours measured
seventy-six and two fourths.

And the other
was sixty-two and one fourth!

Add'em up, DJ!

Let's see, first...

Oh, no,
they're back! More of 'em!

Easy, bee-buds... we're
just tryin' to help you out.

They're in a frenzy!

The only thing that's
gonna help now is the music!

Matt...Jackie...
c'mon, we'll handle the bees.

You guys
add up the measurements!

Start humming!

What?

Just hum!

[HUMMING]

Cut that out!

Like, we already know,
we add the whole numbers first -

then do our thing
with the fractions.

Yeah yeah -
add the whole numbers!

Six plus six is
twelve plus two is fourteen...

carry my one plus five is six...

and two is eight
plus seven is fifteen

plus six is twenty-one.

Carry my two plus one is three!

The whole numbers total three
hundred fourteen cyber inches!

Now the fractions. Oh, man!

Don't sweat it, Didge.

We just add the top numbers -

and the bottom number
stays the same. Oh, no!

Check it out! The bottom
numbers are different!

We've got halves and fourths.

How do we add fractions
with different bottom numbers?

I know! They're fractions
of a cyber-inch, right?

So use my tape measure...

We can find the fractions
on the tape and add 'em up.

Great idea, Hector!

Okay, what have we got here?

One-two-three-four
equal spaces.

And this mark halfway between
is the half-cyber inch mark.

Hey, Didge... guess what?

What?

One-fourth plus
one-fourth is two-fourths!

That's the same
amount as one half!

Groovy! So like,
if we change this two fourths

to make it one half, then we can
add both one-halves together...

One half plus one half
equals one - even I know that!

Right on, Didge! Then add that
one to the one-fourth cyber inch

for a fraction total of
one and one fourth cyber inches!

All you gotta do now is add
that to the whole number part.

So three hundred fourteen
plus one and one fourth

is three hundred fifteen
and one fourth cyber inches!

And that's
how long the old antenna was!

♪ Way to go.
We're about hummed out! ♪

Joe! Send over a new antenna
three hundred fifteen

and one
fourth cyber inches long.

We need it now!

There you go, DJ,
exactly three hundred fifteen

and one-fourth
cyber inches long.

It's working like a charm.

Like, totally groovy!

The bees are back at work and
all's right with cyberworld.

YOIKES! It's The Hacker!

I, The Hacker, the most
feared borg in cyberspace,

will silence
the music once and for all!

Oh no! What are we gonna do?!

We gotta stop him!

Relax, I gave you an upgrade.
This antenna's indestructible.

Groovy music, huh, Buzzy?

Yeah, it's like...
peace, love and Hackerness!
