Numberblock Rally is a Season 3 episode of Numberblocks.

Synopsis

Ten riders, ten pedal-powered cars. Welcome to the Numberblock Rally.

Plot

The Numberblocks are at the starting line of the Numberblock Rally at the top of Mount Numberland. One shows up late before the race starts.

And they're off! 9 and 1 are slowing down. 10 is in the lead, but she trips on a rock.

10 - 1 = 9

8 lays front-side-up on his car and races, his wheels replaced with his legs. Suddenly, his car's part come loose.

8 - 2 = 6

6 spins to the other direction while 8 chases her. 7 dodges them, but trips on another rock.

7 - 3 = 4

6 and 9 enter a dip acres. 9 jumps over a dip.

9 - 3 = 6

Both 6's jump over two dips.

6 - 3 = 3

6 - 3 = 3

Both 3 commentate and argue about it. However, the other 3, above the dips with the other Numberblocks is in charge of the commentating and pushes the other 3's out of the way.

3 + 3 = 6

The two Threes kicked up a dust cloud that 9 enters, causing him to sneeze out a 1, becoming 8.

(9 - 1 = 8)

8 speeds, but bumps into 3, sending them flying and crash-landing onto the other racers, blowing them up into a bunch of 1's. 1 continues racing while the 9 remaining ride on her tail and into a mud puddle.

1 +1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=9

In other words:

9×1=9

1 finishes in first place! 1 is rewarded the Numberblock Rally trophy while the others cheer for her.

Errors
