Heist is the 15th episode of the fourth season of Numberblocks. It is the 75th episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Can Sixteen to Twenty sneak past the robot guards at the Museum of Numbers?
Plot[]
Twenty has been waiting for 16-19, ready to enter the Museum of Numbers. He tells the plan to them; they sneak into the museum to get what they came for, or a "certain someone" isn't going to be happy. Twenty states that it's Sixteen's turn, and she is tasked with opening the four-bolted gate. She manages to easily lift the first bolt, but unfortunately cannot lift them all at once. She tells the problem to Twenty, with him replying that they need a backup plan involving her skill sheet. Sure enough, Sixteen looks at her sheet, and chooses the strong Four Fours to lift up the gate.
Next, to break into the museum interior, they have to use a keypad which is up above them. Unfortunately, they don't know the code. Seventeen uses his sheet and decides to use a step-shape to reach the keypad, but he needs to be lucky if he wants to guess the code. Step-shaped Ten and lucky Seven is the solution. Unfortunately, a robot security guard detects all of them, and begins to approach the intruders to tickle them. Seven, in panic, mashes random buttons not knowing the code. Luckily, it works.
With Seventeen holding the door to keep the guard out, they enter the first room, where the floor ahead is alarmed. To turn off the alarm, they must somehow press the pair of buttons at the other side. The robot guard starts reaching through the door and tickling Seventeen, and Sixteen joins his effort. They need to act quickly. Eighteen, using his fast rays floats over the floor but clumsily crashes into the grip of a wooden hand, unable to move without touching the ground. He uses his skill sheet and chooses two Nines which sneeze their Ones to the alarms. The Ones successfully deactivate the alarms, and everyone runs to the next room, the guard not far behind.
The next room consists of a tricky laser maze. Nineteen decides that moving through the maze is the "perfect job" for a one-off like her. She's able to dodge the lasers, but before she can get through the maze, the guard is about to approach them. The others can hide away, but Nineteen is in the maze and needs to come up with something. Nineteen splits into Ten and Nine, who pretend to be two of the Numberblock statues near them. The guard doesn't notice them. When the guard leaves, Ten and Nine recombine into Nineteen, and she is able to deactivate the lasers with the buttons at the end of the maze, giving the others the all-clear.
The final room they reach contains a valuable treasure: the Golden Infinity. Sixteen, without caution, runs towards it, setting off an alarm. Many, many robot guards emerge from the doors in the room, surrounding 16-20. With no way of escaping, Twenty reveals that they weren't going to steal anything, and that they actually came for One's teddy bear, which was behind the Golden Infinity. Nineteen then explains they didn't come back in the morning because One couldn't sleep without it, and Twenty apologizes. The robots accept their apology, and say they can't sleep without their "teddy bears" either. They all laugh, and the episode ends.

Math Magic[]
- 16 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 (seen in her skill sheet)
- 16 = 8 + 8 (seen in her skill sheet)
- 16 = 15 + 1 (seen in her skill sheet)
- 16 = 10 + 6 (seen in her skill sheet)
- 16 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
- 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
- 17 = 15 + 2 (seen in his skill sheet)
- 17 = 16 + 1 (seen in his skill sheet)
- 17 = 10 + 7
- 10 + 7 = 17
- 18 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 (seen in hs skill sheet)
- 18 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 (seen in hs skill sheet)
- 18 = 6 + 6 + 6 (seen in his skill sheet)
- 18 = 9 + 9
- 9 - 1 = 8
- 8 + 1 = 9
- 9 + 9 = 18
- 19 = 10 + 9
- 10 + 9 = 19
Trivia[]
- Not counting Two's statues, this is the first time where Twenty appears in an episode without Two.
- Numberblocks 11-15 do not make cameos in this episode. 2, 3, 5, and 6 do though, as statues.
- Despite the show supposedly teaching kids good lessons, the episode features 16-20 breaking into a museum and getting away with it.
- This episode and Fifty are tied as the shortest name out of all Series 4 episodes, with 5 letters.
- Certain sources seem to list this episode as "The Heist" rather than "Heist".
- This is the last episode that focuses on 16-20 as a group.
- In the laser maze scene, Nineteen clips through one of the lasers.
- If paused at the right time, Nineteen is seen to actually pull out Sixteen's skill sheet, with Sixteen's main shape, the two Eights, the four Fours, and the eight Twos visible.
Goofs/Errors[]
- After Nineteen gives the others the all-clear, Eighteen is seen wearing Twenty's array display.
- When Seventeen says "Sixteen, wait!", his mouth doesn't move.
- When Nineteen presses both of the buttons and deactivates the laser maze, they run behind all the other numbers. In the next scene, however, everyone runs in numerical order, with Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen now behind her.
