Figure It Out is the twentieth episode of the fifth season of Numberblocks. It is the 110th episode in the series overall.

Synopsis[]

Twenty-One reveals her six-step plan for figuring out Numberblocks. She takes some of her friends along with her on this journey as she explores the numbers.

Plot[]

Twenty-One helps Thirty-One and Thirty-Two figure themselves out, leading them to places before, such as Ten's Place and the Rectangle Retreat. At the end, Thirty-One becomes a calendar fan, and Thirty-Two becomes a doubler; both of them have figured themselves out.

Steps[]

  1. Tens & Ones (place value): All numbers are made of ones, though as the number gets bigger, they start also using tens and higher. For example, Thirty-One is 3 Tens and 1 One.
  2. Rectangles: This is the equivalent of dividing a number and finding its factors. For example, Thirty-One, being prime, can only make two arrangements, while Thirty-Two is shown to be a Super Rectangle because she can form six rectangles.
  3. Look Inside (Number bonds and multiplication/division): Number bonds work, and so does multiplying/dividing equations.
  4. Patterns: Of course, some crazy patterns can help discovering numbers. Art's all about new directions, so getting to know what kinds of unique patterns you can make can help you.
  5. Clubs: Each club has its own rule. See if that number fits in by rearranging it or using more complex arrangements.
  6. Exploration: Figuring a number out requires some within-the-world discovery. Find numbers anywhere you can find them and apply that to a Numberblock, and you've figured them out.

Characters[]

Math Magic[]

  • 21 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6
  • 31 ÷ 10 = 3 R1
  • 32 ÷ 10 = 3 R2
  • 3 × 10 + 1 = 31
  • 3 × 10 + 2 = 32
  • 31 - 1 = 30
  • 30 - 1 = 29
  • 1 + 1 = 2
  • 29 - 1 = 28
  • 2 + 1 = 3
  • 28 - 1 = 27
  • 3 + 1 = 4
  • 27 - 1 = 26
  • 4 + 1 = 5
  • 26 - 1 = 25
  • 5 + 1 = 6
  • 25 - 1 = 24
  • 6 + 1 = 7
  • 32 ÷ 16 = 2
  • 16 ÷ 8 = 2
  • 8 ÷ 4 = 2
  • 2 ÷ 1 = 2

Continuity References[]

Step 1:

They are in Ten's Place or maybe this one is referencing the beginning of How Rectangly?

Step 2:

31 and 32 are at the Rectangle Retreat with the scrolls from How Rectangly!.

Step 3:

31 and 32 enter MI-15 from Hidden Talents. The machine that counts the bonds is here and the room where 26 figures himself out is here too.

Step 4:

31 and 32 are on the Pattern Wall which is referencing Making Patterns. 31 and 32 make shapes, like zigzags.

Step 5:

31 and 32 join clubs. Makes a reference to Club Picnic, where Twenty-Nine was figured-out.

Step 6:

This entire walking sequence is referencing More To Explore when 21 walks past all of the objects.

A bird fly by and sing to the tune of the song, probably referencing Holes.

A camera can be seen as well as a rally cart. The cart references Numberblock Rally. The camera looks is the same camera from Hiccups.

The Numberblocks Express is riding by.

A ten ball from Thirty's Big Top is bouncing by and 11's football shirt is flying as well.

A clock, skateboard, and a paint palette pass by. The clock is from More to Explore and the skateboard and paint palette are referencing 14 and 17, respectively.

A bus stop and bus fly by which are referencing Twenty-One and On.

A big thirty ball flies by, which references Thirty.

A calendar with a month that contains thirty-one days appears besides 31, and a doubler paper appears besides 32.

Trivia[]

  • This is the last time Twenty-One actually helps compound Numberblocks figure themselves out. After this episode, compounds figure themselves out without 21's help by going through the six-step plan themselves offscreen.
  • This is the first appearance of Thirty-One and Thirty-Two as figured-out Numberblocks.
  • This is the debut of 40 in the 2020s decade.
    • This episode also has mentioned the numbers 33 through 40. 40 appeared as a complete drawing, as he debuted in the same episode as Thirty, but 33-39 appeared only as Numberlings, meaning they weren't figured-out by the time of this episode.
  • Going by series order, this is the third episode where Twenty-One sings, the others being More To Explore and Club Picnic.
    • Although in chronological order, it's the second time she sings.
  • Twenty-One is in all the clubs she sang about (Odd Blocks, Step Squads, and Family of Threes).
  • During 31's part while 21 sings the last lyrics, one can see him with 28, 29, and 30. Those numbers match the total count of days in shorter months.
  • This is the third time a calendar has been shown in Numberblocks. (Seven and Thirteen were the first and second, but they showed only the days of the week; this is the first episode showing a full-month calendar page.)
  • Many people thought that Twenty-Nine would be figured out here; instead, he was figured out in Club Picnic.
  • 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 do not speak in this episode.
  • In the last step, the objects flying by correspond to some numbers in order up to 32: A single bird for One, a camera that doesn't represent anyone, a 4-blocked cart for Four, the Numberblocks Express for Five, a 10 ball for Ten, a football shirt for Eleven, a clock for Twelve, a skateboard for Fourteen, a paint palette for Seventeen, a bus stop and bus for Twenty and Twenty-One, a 30 ball for Thirty, and finally, a calendar for Thirty-One and the double paper for Thirty-Two.
  • 21 is also seen with rays in another episode, Circus of Threes.
  • They have unusually thick ten borders.
  • The current YouTube thumbnail uses a screenshot from Puzzle Square, which may lead people into thinking Thirty-Six appears in this episode, even though he didn't.
    • Additionally, the episode title in the video is "Figuring Out Times Tables", but the episode has nothing to do with times tables.

Errors[]

Pinkrayslol

Violet rays instead of rainbow rays

Seventeen paint error

The Seventeen mouth clipping through ten-block border error

31 goof

31's Numberling clipping through their body

  • In one scene, Twenty-One flies with rectangle rays, however, the seven rays are pure violet, and not rainbow as seen with Fourteen in Loop the Loop.
  • At the ending scene, the ten-borders are thicker than normal.
  • In "Step 4: Play with Patterns" Seventeen's mouth clips into his ten-block's border.
    • In the same step, both Thirty-One and Thirty-Two's numberling clips through their bodies.
