Steps Versus Squares is the twenty-second episode of the fifth season of Numberblocks . This is the 112th episode in the series overall.
Synopsis [ ]
The annual Steps vs Squares treasure hunt doesn't quite go to plan when a new Numberblock joins in.
Characters [ ]
Math Facts [ ]
28 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28
25 - 10 = 15
10 + 15 = 25
9 - 1 = 8
8 + 1 = 9
6 + 3 = 9
9 - 3 = 6
Trivia [ ]
This was the first time a compound Numberblock is figured-out offscreen.
This was the third time that Blocky Mountain appeared, the first as The Legend of Big Tum , the second being Numberblock Rally .
This was the second time that a Robot Guard appeared.
This was the second time that One has appeared with square eyes; the first such appearance was in Square Club .
When Four says "Four on the Floor", he's alluding to a later episode, Four on the Floor .
When Twenty-Five splits into Fifteen and Ten, the steps know that they are Twenty-Five, but when Ten and Fifteen later add up to Twenty-Five, Twenty-Five remarks that squares are better than step squads, which implies that Twenty-Five doesn't quite know who she should be rooting for (in this scenario).
An updated version of Twenty-Five ’s up-and-down step arrangement is shown in How Many Sleeps Till Christmas .
21 has no lines in this episode.
Errors [ ]
When the Step Squads look to Three for their trophy pieces, Ten's face goes lower, like with Fifteen, Twenty-One or Twenty-Eight.
In one scene, Sixteen, Twenty-Eight and Fifteen had no pupils.
