| Number & Operations |
| When players in a sports event are judged by the quality of their performance, using numbers gives you a fair way to choose the winner. |
| Number & Operations |
| While enjoying a little R & R in Solaria, Hacker is delighted to see Wicked, who is also on vacation - but she's not alone! She's partnered with Nug Grommet, the handsome cyber-surfing champion in a dance contest. Turning even greener with jealousy, Hacker enters the contest to prove his superiority. Only there's one small problem-who can he coerce into being his partner? Enter the CyberSquad. Observing Jackie's prowess on the dance floor, Hacker has Buzz and Delete detain Inez, then forces Jackie to teach him the moves and dance with him in exchange for Inez's safe return. As the contest unfolds, it becomes apparent that the judges lack a workable scoring system to decide the winner. Determined to help Inez, Matt joins the judges to find a way to score the contest. And, as Wicked points out, it had better be fair or she will wreak her revenge! Should Matt give Hacker and Jackie a higher score than Wicked and Nug so Inez can go free? Or judge the contest fairly and hope Digit rescues Nezzie in time? |
Bianca Cheers Up
Bianca's friend Natalie is nervous about trying out for the cheerleading squad, but Bianca's efforts to be supportive just make Natalie even more nervous than she already is! During the tryouts, the judges rate Natalie's performance by giving her scores in three different categories. Unfortunately, Bianca's well-meaning, but inappropriate, shouts of support irritate the judges. Natalie becomes unhinged and ends up with a low cumulative score. Bianca apologizes after realizing that her attempts to help Natalie backfired. In frustration, Natalie tosses a basketball and makes a perfect shot. Bianca suggests that Natalie should play on the basketball team, and promises not to accompany Natalie to tryouts.
