Math Magic

• 4 + 4 = 8
• 8 + 8 = 16
• 16 ÷ 4 = 4
• 4 × 4 = 16
• 16 + 16 = 32
• 32 ÷ 16 = 2
• 2 × 16 = 32

Trivia

• This episode's description used to show that it's a crossover with Alphablocks, but it was later removed.
  • This tweet from the Numberblocks Twitter gave the impression at the time that this was a mistake, and that there wasn't going to be any crossover special, at least not in the near future. However, crossover specials between Alphablocks and Numberblocks have come out since then.
• This episode was put on iPlayer on Friday, two days before it aired on TV.
• This episode's logo is a parody of the movie "Back to the Future".
  • Sixty-Four's time machine is a parody of the DeLorean car.
• This episode has a time-travel plot, where a certain character travels back in time to change an event in the past.
  • The type of time-travel featured in the episode is a time loop, where the main character gets sent back 2 minutes in the past, in an altered timeline, with the only difference being that the main Numberblock is twice their size. This repeats until Sixty-Four is the one heading to Sixty-Four's time machine, to plug the time regulator.
  • There are a total of six different timelines in the episode.
• This is the fourth episode to teach about doubling and halving. First being Double Trouble, second being Sixteen and third being Snow Day Doubles.
• This episode marks the debut of the square root sign and the decimal point.
• Sixty-Four is the biggest Numberblock in this episode, and is the biggest Numberblock to appear in any of the specials.
• Thirty-Two says the name of the special when she comes back for the regulator.
• The episode uses dynamic physics in some parts such as when Ten and Three fall into the ball pit and some of the balls roll out.
• The shoe shop from Two Times Shoe Shop, and Octonaughty's lair from Now in 3D have cameo appearances in this episode.
• In this episode, Three still has the rubber duck from The Lair of Shares.
• If you look in the credits, Sharon Clarke and Rasmus Hardiker are credited.
• This special establishes yet another urban area the Numberblocks live in, akin to the Big City from The Wrong Number or the city seen in Odd Side Story.
• Prior to 2022; American Xfinity televisions count this episode as a show and this being ”Numberblocks: Double Back - S1E1".
