Hacker: WHAT? HE COULDN'T FRY AN EGG!
Matt: WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT, HACKER!
OH WELL, WELL.
LOOKS LIKE OUR COMPETITION

COOKING AND RACING... I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Jackie: COOK UP A STORM, DIDGE!

Both: HUH?
Motherboard: FEARLESS CHEF LOCATED...

Motherboard: GRIM WREAKER, NORTHERN FRONTIER.
FIGURES! HACKER'S GOT HIM!
Motherboard: MUST RESCUE. NOT MUCH TIME.
NO KIDDING! GOTTA PORTAL!
Inez: NEXT STOP, THE NORTHERN FRONTIER!
HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED SINCE WE LEFT?
IT'S 10 AFTER 9:00 (9:10) NOW.
WE LEFT AT 9:00 SHARP SO THAT'S TEN MINUTES.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN COOKED THE FIRST DISH!
Matt: WHAT KIND OF STEW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE?
Digit: MY FAMOUS CYBER-BEET STEW.
UH, MAKE THAT JUST PLAIN STEW.
Hacker: A BIT BLUSTERY UP HERE,
BUT A LOVELY VIEW, DON'T YOU THINK?
BOSS, UH, SHOULDN'T YOU START COOKIN'?
COOK? ME? (LAUGHS)
BOSS, IF YOU DON'T START COOKIN'
HOW YOU GONNA WIN THAT GOLDEN HAT THING?
Hacker: BY CHEATING AND SABOTAGE, MY DEAR BUZZ!
I ALREADY ORDERED FROM STEWS-TO-GO!
TANTALIZINGLY TANGY!
NOW IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE SABOTAGE.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT!
COOL BLENDER, DIDGE!
MM. PERFECTO! GIVE ME A POT!
I HAVE TO COOK THIS BABY FOR FIVE MINUTES.
THIS TICKER-CLICKER MEASURES MY COOKING TIME
MINUTE BY MINUTE!
WHEN IT REACHES ZERO MINUTES,
WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A CYBER-STEW!
MM. BETTER KICK IT UP A NOTCH. BAM! BAM! BAM!
DIDGE, WHY DO YOU THINK HACKER WANTS THAT GOLDEN CYBERCHEF AWARD SO BADLY?
Digit: MOTHERBOARD DOESN'T KNOW.
SHE JUST KNOWS HE WANTS IT AND WE GOTTA STOP HIM.
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN COOKING?
Matt: UH! THE TIMER'S GONE!
IT MUST'VE BLOWN AWAY!
NOW MY TIMING'S OFF! WE GOTTA START OVER!
BUT WITHOUT MY TIMER,
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN FIVE MINUTES ARE UP?
WE CAN USE MY CLOCK.
THAT ONLY TELLS US WHAT TIME IT IS NOW!
YEAH, BUT THE HANDS DO THE SAME THING A TIMER DOES-
THEY SHOW HOW TIME PASSES.
THEY DO?
Matt: SURE. WHEN THE HANDS MOVE FROM ONE MINUTE TO THE NEXT
THEY TELL ME ONE MINUTE HAS GONE BY.
I JUST FIGURE THE TIME ON THE CLOCK WHEN WE START,
AND COUNT FORWARD FIVE MINUTES.
OH YEAH?
IF WE START COOKING AT 9:14, IN FIVE MINUTES IT'LL BE—
9:15, 9:16, 9:17, 9:18, 9:19!
WE STOP COOKING AT 9:19!
START COOKING!
Digit: START WATCHING YOUR CLOCK!
Jackie: ALL CLEAR!
Inez: (GASP) IT'S THE FEARLESS CHEF!
Digit: HOW MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY?
IT'S 9:18. WE'VE BEEN COOKING FOR FOUR MINUTES.
MAKE THAT 9:19! FIVE MINUTES!
MM. OH YEAH! THIS IS IT, BABY!
Chairman Delicacy: AH-HA! (LAUGH)
CHEF DIGIT'S STEW IS DONE AND IT SMELLS SCRUMPTIOUS!
AND HACKER'S STEW IS DONE AS WELL!
THE SALAD IS NEXT!
THEY'VE USED 20 MINUTES SO FAR! 42 TO GO!
FASTER! THEY'RE WAY AHEAD OF US!
NOT FOR LONG, BOSS!
BAA-AA-AA.
Digit: LOOK OUT!
Matt: THE BRAKES DON'T WORK!
Matt and Digit: AHHHHH!
Digit: I GOT IT.
Matt: NOW THIS IS COOL!
Digit: LOOK! GLACIER POINTE!
HANG ON, WE'VE GOT A SALAD TO TOSS!
IF WE CAN JUST GET DELETE TO COME OUT HERE
WE CAN GO IN AND RESCUE THE CHEF.
HMMM. I'VE GOT IT!
IMPORTANT CYBER DELIVERY FOR MISTER DELETE!
Delete: CYBER DELIVERY, FOR ME? COMING!
Delete: HELLO? CYBER DELIVERY GUY? IT'S ME, MISTER DELETE.
HELLO? WHERE ARE YOU?
GOOD JOB, INEZ!
Inez: WE'RE INEZ AND JACKIE.
MOTHERBOARD SENT US TO RESCUE YOU.
I AM THE FEARLESS CHEF!
I DON'T NEED TO BE RESCUED!
WE CAN SEE THAT.
BUT LET US DO IT ANYWAY.
HMMM. WONDER WHAT THIS IS?
Delete: OH WELL, I GUESS NOBODY WAS THERE.
Inez: IT'S DELETE. COME ON!
HOW RUDE.
HEY! HEY, CHEF! WHERE ARE YOU?
Digit: YOU DICE AND SLICE.
I'LL PEEL AND PUREE THE SEAWEED.
IT MAKES A GREAT DRESSING!
Hacker: AH, NOTHING LIKE A HOT CUP OF COCOA TO WARM UP THE CIRCUITRY.
CYBERSALAD?
UH, YEAH, I WANT A FRUIT SALAD!
YES! TO GO!
Chairman Delicacy: WEATHERFLASH!
BIG BLIZZARD DUE TO HIT AT 9:43!
YOU MUST FINISH YOUR SALADS BY THEN OR BE SNOWED IN FOREVER!
CYBERSALADS? MAKE IT SNAPPY!
Matt: SNOWED IN BY 9:43?
IT'S ALREADY 9:27!
AND I STILL NEED TO FRAPPE THE PUREE!
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?
WE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS NOW,
AND WE KNOW WHAT TIME WE HAVE TO FINISH BY.
I'LL JUST COUNT THE MINUTES IN BETWEEN.
9:27... 9:28...
OH, MAN, I CAN'T COUNT THE MINUTES WITH THESE MITTENS ON
AND IT'S TOO COLD TO TAKE THEM OFF!
Digit: THERE'S GOTTA BE ANOTHER WAY TO FIGURE OUT THE TIME!
Matt: OF COURSE! I DON'T HAVE TO COUNT EACH MINUTE
I JUST NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE TIME WHEN I START AND THE TIME WHEN I STOP.
I CAN SUBTRACT!
SUBTRACT WHAT FROM WHAT? I GOTTA KNOW NOW!
SORRY.
Matt: WELL, SINCE 9:43 IS LATER THAN 9:27
TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE, I PUT THE STOP TIME ON THE TOP
AND SUBTRACT THE START TIME FROM THAT.
9:43 MINUS 9:27 IS...
SIXTEEN!
WE HAVE SIXTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE BLIZZARD HITS.
I ONLY NEED FIFTEEN! CUT THE CARROTS!
Matt: OH, GREAT! HUNGRY PENGUINS, JUST WHAT WE NEED!
Digit: HEY, CAN'T LET MY FELLOW BIRDS GO WITHOUT.
HERE YOU GO, GUYS.
Jackie: WE JUST HAVE TO SLIDE DOWN THE ROPE TO THE GROUND,
AND WE CAN GET OUT OF HERE AND BACK TO THE SHOW!
Fearless Chef: (GULP) THAT IS A LONG WAY DOWN!
Inez: I'VE SEEN YOU COOK IN WAY MORE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS THAN THIS.
UM, SOMETIMES ON THE SHOW, I UH, I HAVE A STUNT DOUBLE.
Jackie: YOU MEAN SOMEONE ELSE DOES ALL THAT DANGEROUS STUFF FOR YOU?
UH-HUH.
Inez: HOW OFTEN?
Fearless Chef: WELL, ALL THE TIME.
GOT'CHA!
I'M READY TO FRAPPE THE PUREE!
HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO I HAVE?
Matt: IT'S 9:40!
THREE MINUTES LEFT TILL THE BLIZZARD HITS US FULL FORCE!
Digit: THE SALAD WILL BE DONE IN TWO.
SEND IT DOWN NOW!
COOKING IS SUCH HARD WORK.
Chairman Delicacy: CHEF HACKER'S FRUIT SALAD HAS ARRIVED
AND IT LOOKS RECKLESSLY REFRESHING!
AH HA, CHEF DIGIT JUST BEAT THE BLIZZARD!
A SWEET AND SOUR SALAD WITH SPECIAL SEAWEED SAUCE!
YUM!
43 MINUTES HAVE PASSED!
ONLY 19 MINUTES LEFT!
C'MON, WE'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE IT!
THEY'LL NEVER REACH VOLCANO ISLAND NOW.
THE GOLDEN CYBERCHEF AWARD IS ALL BUT MINE!
Buzz: ALL DONE, BOSS.
Digit: WHAT WAS THAT?
THE ICE IS CRACKING!
Matt and Digit: HELP!
Digit: IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING QUICK
WE'LL BOTH BE POPSICLES!
Matt: THE PENGUINS!
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD SPEAK PENGUIN.
Digit: THERE'S A LOT ABOUT ME YOU DON'T KNOW, MATTY.
I ASKED THEM TO PUSH US TO VOLCANO ISLAND!
Matt: WOO-HOO!
Jackie: YOU'VE GOT TO LET US GO, DELETE.
IT'S NOT FAIR!
YOU WANT TO BE FAIR, DON'T YOU?
IF I LET YOU GO,
THEN THE BOSS WON'T WIN THE GOLDEN CYBERCHEF AWARD
AND HE NEEDS IT FOR HIS MAGNITUBE THINGIE
TO STOP MOTHERBOARD!
Jackie: SO THAT'S WHY HACKER WANTS THAT HAT!
FEARLESS, WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!
YOU'RE BIG AND STRONG, BEND OPEN THESE BARS!
Fearless Chef: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I COULD PULL A MUSCLE DOING THAT.
I HAVE TO WARM UP FIRST.
Inez: THEN BREAK THE LOCK!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Fearless Chef: GEE, I... I'D LIKE TO, BUT MY WRIST IS KILLING ME.
I HURT IT FLIPPING PANCAKES LAST WEEK.
Jackie: OH, BROTHER! THIS GUY IS HOPELESS.
Chairman Delicacy: 47 MINUTES GONE; JUST FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GO!
Hacker: AS YOUR NEW CHAMPION,
THE GOLDEN CYBERCHEF AWARD WILL BE SAFE WITH ME.
Buzz: BOSS! LOOK!
Hacker: WHAT? BUT HOW?
NICE TRY, HACKER, BUT NO CHEF'S HAT!
Digit: YEAH, THE DIDGE IS BACK AND READY TO MAKE
HIS FAMOUS CYBER-SOUFFLE!
WE'LL SEE WHOSE SOUFFLE WINS THE DAY!
HELLO? SOUFFLES-TO-GO?
HELLO? HELLO? ARG!
WHAT IS IT, BOSS?
MY PHONE DOESN'T WORK!
SO MUCH FOR THE CALL ANYWHERE FROM ANYWHERE PLAN!
I'LL HAVE TO MAKE MY OWN SOUFFLE!
Digit: SUGAR. IT NEEDS SUGAR!
NOW COMES THE HARD PART— COOKING IT.
THE SOUFFLE HAS TO COOK FOR EXACTLY 12 MINUTES.
NOT A MOMENT EARLIER OR LATER!
AND WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY QUIET.
Matt: WHY?
Digit: ONCE THE SOUFFLE IS IN THE OVEN ANY LOUD NOISE WILL FLATTEN IT!
Matt: OKAY, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT TIME IT'LL BE
WHEN 12 MINUTES HAVE GONE BY.
NO BIGGIE.
WHAT TIME DOES YOUR WATCH SAY RIGHT NOW?
RIGHT NOW IT'S 9:50.
Digit: SO I'LL JUST ADD TWELVE MINUTES TO 9:50.
AND THAT GIVES ME... 9:62!
THERE'S NO SUCH TIME AS 9:62!
THERE'S NOT?
NO, THERE'S NOT. (GASP)
YOIKES!
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
I WAS GONNA COUNT FORWARD ON THE CLOCK.
DON'T PANIC, OKAY?
THE CLOCKFACE MAY BE GONE
BUT WE STILL HAVE THE MINUTES MARKED ON THIS STRIP.
OH, YEAH. I SEE.
IT SORTA LOOKS LIKE A RULER, BUT IT MEASURES TIME!
RIGHT! WE CAN USE THESE MARKS TO SHOW THE MINUTES IN AN HOUR.
HERE'S 9:30, 10:00 AND 10:30.
WE PUT THE SOUFFLE IN AT 9:50, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE
AND COUNT FORWARD, FIVE, TEN MINUTES...
NOW WE'RE AT 10:00.
ADD TWO MORE MINUTES...
AND THAT TAKES US TO... 10:02!
THAT'S WHY MY ADDITION WAS WEIRD!
THESE ARE TELLING TIME NUMBERS NOT JUST PLAIN OLD NUMBERS!
EXACTLY!
9:62 IS REALLY ONE WHOLE HOUR AFTER 9:00,
PLUS TWO MINUTES.
THE TAKE OUT TIME IS 10:02!
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT AND WATCH THE CLOCK
TILL IT'S TEN-O-TWO.
EXCEPT THE CLOCK IS BUSTED!
SHHH! BUT THIS ONE ISN'T!
Fearless Chef: THERE'S NO WAY OUT. WE'RE TRAPPED.
THE FEARLESS CHEF IS HISTORY.
Jackie: DOES THIS GUY EVER STOP?
Inez: JACKIE, GIVE ME YOUR SCRUNCHIE!
BUT I JUST GOT THIS ONE!
YOU WANT TO STAY HERE FOREVER WITH THE FEARLESS CHEF?
HERE!
COOL.
Jackie: EW!
Inez: GOT IT!
Jackie: AS MATT WOULD SAY, "SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!"
Inez: WE'RE OUT OF HERE!
SO YOU THINK IT'S SAFE TO LEAVE?
Digit: THE SOUFFLE LOOKS GREAT!
Matt: THE QUESTION IS, WILL IT GET COOKED BEFORE WE DO?
Digit and Matt: THE SOUFFLE!
(PFFFFT)
Digit: IT'S CAVING IN!
MAYBE THERE'S A WAY TO PUT THE AIR BACK INTO IT,
LIKE FIXING A FLAT TIRE!
WAIT! THERE IS A WAY.
BUT I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH COOKING TIME IS LEFT!
Matt: IT'S 9:56!
THE TIME WE HAVE LEFT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE STOP TIME, 10:02,
AND THE START TIME, NOW, 9:56!
I'LL SUBTRACT IT!
9:56 FROM 10:02 LEAVES... OH, BOY!
HOW CAN I TAKE FIFTY-SIX MINUTES FROM TWO MINUTES?
REMEMBER, THESE AREN'T ORDINARY NUMBERS
THEY'RE TELLING TIME NUMBERS!
LET'S USE THE TIMELINE. HERE WE ARE AT 9:56.
NOW COUNT THE MINUTES FORWARD TO 1, 2, 3, 4...
NOW, ADD THE TWO MINUTES PAST THE HOUR: 5, 6.
Digit: YOIKES! WE'VE GOT 6 MINUTES LEFT!
GIMME SOME ROOM, MATTY!
IF I PUT EXACTLY ONE SQUIRT OF WATER INTO THE SOUFFLE
FOR EACH OF THE SIX MINUTES LEFT,
IT SHOULD PUFF THIS BABY, RIGHT UP!
Buzz: BAD NEWS, BOSS!
THAT SILLY CYBERTURKEY IS PUMPIN' UP HIS SOUFFLE!
MY SOUFFLE WILL BE PUFFIER AND TASTIER THAN HIS WILL EVER BE!
IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, THAT GOLDEN HAT WILL BE MINE.
AND MOTHERBOARD WILL BE IMMOBILIZED.
Matt: IT HASN'T RISEN YET!
AND THERE'S LESS THAN A MINUTE TO GO!
JUST TELL ME WHEN THE COOKING TIME IS UP!
Matt: TAKE IT OUT!
Digit: LE SOUFFLE!
Buzz: BOSS, BOSS!
WHAT?
Buzz: IT'S PAST THE TIME TO TAKE OUT YOUR SOUFFLE!
Hacker: WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
Chairman Delicacy: TIME'S UP!
SIXTY TWO MINUTES HAVE ELAPSED
AND THE CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
CHEF DIGIT'S SOUFFLE HAS ARRIVED.
CHEF HACKER'S HAS NOT.
Hacker: BUT THE HACKER HAS!
I'LL TAKE THIS!
BON APPETIT!
Chairman Delicacy: STOP HIM!
Fearless Chef: WHOA! YEOW!
Inez: TIME'S UP, HACKER.
Hacker: YEOW!
Chairman Delicacy: AH-HA!
CHEF DIGIT, YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE DANGERS
AND YOUR FOOD IS DELICIOUS!
THE GOLDEN CYBERCHEF AWARD IS YOURS!
Inez: WAY TO GO, DIDGE!
Matt: CYBERSPACE IS SAFE!
Digit: I OWE IT ALL TO MOTHERBOARD.
THE RECIPE FOR THE SOUFFLE IS HERS!
AND THE ONLY THING THAT GOT FLATTENED WAS HACKER!
Hacker: GET OFF OF ME, YOU LOPSIDED LUMMOX!
THE FEARLESS CHEF IS BACK!
