It's time for the last bedtime story all about Numberblocks Sixteen to Twenty.
Chapter 16: A Six Walks Into a Ten. OW![]

Chapter 17: Portrait of the Artist in his Prime[]

Chapter 18: Full Speed Ahead![]
Fourteen records a video of Eighteen on an attempt to be the fastest numberblock ever, so Ten & Eight add and make Eighteen. Eighteen switches into various rectangles, using more and more rays each time to get faster. Soon a tunnel comes and he ducks under it, getting dazed afterwards.
Chapter 19: Flex-Ability[]
Nineteen states that she can't make any rectangles, but doesn't need to with all the other shapes she can make. Two and Three make positive comments while she does.
Chapter 20: Making Friends[]
Two tens makes friends by adding into Twenty. Twenty states that he's good at making friends and splits into ten Twos, who say "Good Night!" at the end of his chapter.

Math Magic[]
- 10 + 6 = 16
- 16 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4
- 17 = 10 + 7
- 10 + 7 = 17
- 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17
- 10 + 8 = 18
- 19 - 10 = 9
- 10 + 9 = 19
- 10 + 10 = 20
- 20 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
- 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 20
