Characters[]

Plot[]

One explores the Double Dungeon of Doom. The dungeon says no One can enter. Being forbidden to enter, she gets the idea of making another One from a magic mirror...

Numberling 1+Numberling 1=Numberling 2

The dungeon lets Two proceed, and he takes out two torches. He sees and counts two paths and doesn't know which one to take. He goes to another magic mirror which creates another Two. The first Two takes the left path and the second Two takes the right.

Both Twos see inanimate (but rather frightening) rubber snakes. After carefully treading through the snakes, they see a boulder blocking an entrance. They attempt to push it, but they're not strong enough. Then they add.

Numberling 2+Numberling 2=Numberling 4

Four pushes the boulder and enters another room. In a hole in the ceiling, Four sees golden apples. He tries to cross the bridge to the rope, but falls off into the round thing pit, due to the bridge being pulled by a rope in the middle. He climbs back to the edge of the pit and sees another magic mirror which creates another Four.

Each of the two Fours take one side of the bridge. They come closer to the center where the rope is until they can add.

Numberling 4+Numberling 4=Numberling 8

Eight climbs the rope and sees eight golden delicious apples. When he takes them all, there is a rumbling effect and the bridge gets wobbly, signalling that Eight needs to escape immediately.

Numberling 8=Numberling 4+Numberling 4

Quickly, the two Fours leave the room. The boulder from before chases them, breaking on a wall as the Fours enter the snake tunnels again.

Numberling 4=Numberling 2+Numberling 2
Numberling 4=Numberling 2+Numberling 2

Carefully, the four Twos avoid the snakes and see the entrance door closing slowly. They dash to it.

Numberling 2=Numberling 1+Numberling 1
Numberling 2=Numberling 1+Numberling 1
Numberling 2=Numberling 1+Numberling 1
Numberling 2=Numberling 1+Numberling 1

The eight Ones run out of the dungeon. The last One loses her hat after the door knocks it off, but quickly grabs it before the door completely closes. The Ones then eat all the apples.

Math Facts[]

  • 1 + 1 = 2 (segment only)
  • 2 + 2 = 4 (segment only)
  • 4 + 4 = 8 (segment only)
  • 8 = 4 + 4 (segment only)
  • 4 = 2 + 2 (segment only)
  • 2 = 1 + 1 (segment only)

Trivia[]

  • This episode is an obvious reference to Indiana Jones.
  • When Four says, "Round things! Why did it have to be round things?", it is a reference to the Indiana Jones quote “Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?”
  • The scene with one of the eight Ones snatches her hat out just before the door closes is similar to the running gag where the same thing happens in the Indiana Jones franchise.
  • This is the only episode since Eight's debut where Three is absent.
  • Four stays as a square for the whole episode.
  • This is the first time equation magic is duplicated.
  • Eight is the only Numberblock who has two arrangements (vertical and Octoblock) in this episode. Other numberblocks have only one arrangement.
  • This is the first time Two uses a magic mirror, since he did not for the first half of the first season.
  • This is the second time since Ten out of Ten that Teresa Gallagher and David Holt don't do any voice work for an entire episode.
  • The following objects in the game Numberblocks Make & Play are from this episode:
    • The bridge scene.
    • The apples.
    • The Indiana Jones hat.
  • In the storyboards, Four's eyes are round rather than square.
  • This episode reveals that Four hates round things. This becomes more commonly shown over the series.
  • In the part where Eight falls after he collects all the apples, he does the Wilhelm Scream.
    • The Wilhelm scream will be heard again in Block Star.
  • This episode was once referred to as "Eight is Never Late" on YouTube.

Goofs/Errors/Mistakes[]

  • When One gasps and screams at the dungeon, the subtitles say "HE GASPS" and "HE SCREAMS" instead of "SHE GASPS" and "SHE SCREAMS", using the incorrect pronouns.
  • When One said "No one may enter!", One's arm is disembodied.
  • Eight doesn't leave a trail in the 8 = 4 + 4 segment.
