Plot

Three shows One, Two, Four and Five her fruit machines. Four asks how they work, and though Three attempts to show that she knows, she tries to reach the fruit and only gets shocked in the process. Five sees two oranges up on top of the first machine, so perhaps Two can try getting the oranges. The machine divides the oranges in two.

2 = 1 + 1

Three tries to get the oranges, but again, she gets shocked.

Two gets sucked into the machine and divided.

2 = 1 + 1

The Ones come out and eat the oranges, much to Three's dismay. Five says that two at the top splits into one and one at the bottom. Three wants fruit.

She jumps onto her machine which divides the three bananas inside it.

3 = 1 + 2

Three jumps into the machine and divides into One and Two.

3 = 1 + 2

One and Two wonder where Three is. Four tries a lever that reverses the machine.

1 + 2 = 3

Three tries getting a banana, but she gets sucked out of the machine. Five says that they work two ways. Four pulls the lever again and Three goes back in the machine, but she and the bananas divide.

3 = 2 + 1

Four pulls the lever again.

2 + 1 = 3

Four finds four square apples in the next machine. He jumps in and the machine divides him and the apples by two.

4 = 2 + 2

Three is excited to eat the apples, but the Twos eat them instead, handing her the cores. Growing more upset, Three wants apples. Four knows how to make Three, showing this by pulling a block off and forming One and Three, before turning back into Four. He jumps back into the machine to have it divide him again.

4 = 1 + 3

Three cheers for joy, but the other Three eats the apples instead, as well as One. Three has finally had it and grabs Five by the hand to the next machine. She then throws Five into the machine which divides her.

5 = 1 + 4

Three groans angrily and pulls the lever.

1 + 4 = 5

She finally snaps out of frustration, pulling the lever back and forth repeatedly until Two and the other Three are flung out, making Five.

4 + 1 = 5 = 4 + 1

5 = 2 + 3 = 2 + 3 8>8<8>26-<=05+5<5>+5<58+1<3

0 - 0 = 0

The machine malfunctions and throws loads of fruit. One tells everyone to run, and the machine explodes shortly after, covering the screen with fruit.

The Numberblocks are now in a pile of fruit. Three was right about it being "easy peasy lemon squeezy", and the episode ends with a lemon landing on her head.

Math Magic

A majority of these instances were done with fruit and Numberblocks, unless specified. "Segment" means the equation (or inequality) was shown on the fruit machines' screens. "_" means a space in the equation

• 2 = 1 + 1 (segment)
• 3 = 1 + 2 (segment)
• 1 + 2 = 3 (segment)
• 3 = 2 + 1 (segment)
• 2 + 1 = 3 (segment)
• 4 = 2 + 2 (segment)
• 4 = 1 + 3 (segment)
• 3 + 1 = 4 (Numberblocks)
• 5 = 1 + 4 (segment)
• 1 + 4 = 5 (segment)
• 5 = 4 + 1 (segment)
• 4 + 1 = 5 (segment)
• 5 = 2 + 3 (segment)
• 2 + 3 = 5
• 5 = 3 + 2 (segment)
• 8 > 8 < 2 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 8 > 9 _ 2 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 8 + 1 < 3 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 9 + _ < 3 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 1 = _ > 8 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• _ - 6 > 2 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• - > + 2 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 6 - > = (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• > 5 > 5 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• > + 5 < 5 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 5 + 5 < 5 (segment, smear frame, incorrect)
• 0 - 0 = 0 (segment, smear frame, actually correct)

Trivia

• If one viewer pauses at the right moment, jumbled text actually features the following (wrong) equations/inequalities:
  • 8>8<2 (should be 8=8>2)
  • 8>9  2 (not an equation/inequality)
  • 8+1<3 (should be 8+1>3)
  • 9+  <3 (not an equation/inequality)
  • 1=  >8 (not an equation/inequality)
  •   -6>2 (should be -6<2)
  •   ->+2 (not an equation/inequality)
  • 6->=0 (not an equation/inequality)
  • >  5  5 (not an equation/inequality)
  • >+5<5 (not an equation/inequality)
  • 5+5<5 (should be 5+5>5)
  • 0-0=0 (correct equation/inequality)
    • In terms of (official) levelling order, this episode debuts the numerals "6", "8", "9" and "0".
    • 7 is the only numeral that does not appear in the malfunctioning equation board (lucky him...).
• If a viewer slows the episode down, the machine speaking sped-up gibberish is actually saying "5 = 4 + 1, 4 + 1 = 5".
• As of 2019, the description for this episode on Kabillion is just "A fun fruit factory, when there's nothing to count, nobody does it better than Zero." rather than the full-length actual description, just as Zero does.
• This episode foreshadows Zero's existence and her debut episode, which just so happens to be the next episode.
• Three gets aggravated throughout the episode because the Numberblocks couldn't find a way for Three as a whole to get fruits without her parts or a part as her eating them. A simple solution is for One or Two to add with Three to be Four or Five respectively, then go to their splitters. That way, the splitter can split Four or Five into two parts. One of the parts will be the original Three and she can have fruit at last!

Errors

• When Four splits into One and Three and the first Three turns around, her whole crown is yellow and her top is red.
• When Two and the other Three flung out to make Five, 3 blueberries rolled away, but in the next shot, it shows that 2 blueberries rolled away.
• When Three said 'Hey, those are mine!' her eyes were grey.
• In one scene when the fruit machine spilt 3 into 2 & 1, Four was not moving at all until a few scenes later.
