PBS KIDS OPENS WORLDS OF POSSIBILITIES
FOR ALL CHILDREN
THANKS TO PBS STATIONS AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.
Okay, there's this really bad dude named Hacker —
The Hacker, to you!
Whatever. He wants to take over
the Cyberworld from Motherboard.
The three kids are sucked into Cyberspace,
and they use brain power to help save everybody.
Okay, here's the plan.
So they travel all over and run into all these
weird creatures... and have all of these awesome adventures.
It's totally up to them to save Cyberspace.
Can three cool kids and a wacky bird outsmart the Hacker?
Never! There's only one way to find out!
Tune in to "Cyberchase"!
Cyberchase - we're moving
we're beating Hacker at his game
Don't tell me that he's trying to hack the Motherboard
we'll get him every time
places that we've seen
We've got the power of one two three four
Running in the Cyberchase
We meet him face to face
We'll stick together all the time
Adventures in cyberspace
The chase is on!
C-y-b-e-r-chase!
And... and... and then Hacker sold my bunny!
My George is g... g... gone!
Poor Delete!
So... so I took his new plan to take over Cyberspace!
It's all yours!
Way to go, Delete!
But Hacker knows I took it... and he's looking for me!
Come to Bleak Pines and—
Delete!
Are you there?
We have to go help him!
And get Hacker's new plan!
Come on!
Whoa whoa whoa and whoa!
You don't actually believe Delete, do you?
I do!
Me too!
Well, I don't!
I worked for The Hacker long enough to say it's a trap!
Jax?
Um, Matt and Inez do have a point, Didge.
Help Delete, save Cyberspace
on the other hand, who knows Delete better than you?
Then again—
We're going!
If this isn't a trap, then I don't know what is!
Delete needs us, Didge.
If we can only find him.
Pssst!
Over here!
You came!
Thank you, thank you!
Where's Hacker's plan?
This way... hurry!
What happened?
We're locked in! We're locked in!
Once I deposit those kids where they belong,
I can begin Phase Two of my plan without interference!
Admit it, boss, you couldn't have done this without Deedee.
He's a pretty good actor, huh?
His starring role has yet to come!
Buckle up, earthbrats!
Time for a little trip!
I told you this would happen!
But... not to worry, the Didge is on top of his game.
My Lock Buster Rope will open any lock in a flash.
I'll fly out... unhook the bubble... and push us to safety!
What do we do with it?
Measure the size of that circle lock -
while I look for the other end of this thing.
Okay. Let's see.
Got it!
Poifect!
It's too short!
Inez!
You didn't measure right!
I did, too!
You asked me to measure the size of the circle.
So I measured the diameter - the distance across!
But I needed the all-the-way around distance!
Then you should have said so!
That's the circumference!
Time out, guys!
We're comin' up on something really weird.
Yoikes!
The Spheres of Fears!
The creepiest places in Cyberspace!
I was here once with Hacker...
Didge! Try that rope thingie again!
Hurry!
We gotta get out of here!
I'm hurryin', I'm hurryin'!
It's too late!
We're trapped!
Good one, boss!
Why thank you, Buzz.
Welcome to your new home, earthbrats.
You too, cyberturkey!
Relax... enjoy... you'll be here a long, long time.
Oh, by the way, I'll be at the Northern Frontier...
if you need anything.
No!
Wait!
Stop!
I knew it was a trap, but no, no one listens to the Didge!
And now look where we are!
Aaahh!
You were right, Didge.
This is one scary place!
Guys, we have got to get it together.
Just stay calm, and we'll figure out a way outta here.
Hey - use your Lock Buster, Didge!
Yeah!
Only this time we'll—
I know... measure the circumference!
Oh, no!
There's not enough rope left to go all the way around!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
What was that, Didge?
Creepers!
There's all kinds of 'em...
Winged ones, Crawling ones and...
We gotta call Motherboard!
Begin Phase Two!
To escape.. find code book.
Where do we find it, Motherboard?
End of orange brick road.
Motherboard communication out!
Find code to lock and—
Motherboard!
She's gone!
What happened?
No clue!
But you heard Mother-B.
Let's go get that code book at the end
of the orange brick road.
Um... Didge?
Do you think maybe you could just fly to the other end -
get the code book - and fly back?
Too s-s-scared...
Okay.
Then we walk... together.
A Winged Creeper!
RUUUUUN...
It's locked!
We're doomed!
Didge, Didge, it's okay.
The Creeper's long gone.
For now!
But what if it comes back?
I'm not sure I can do this, boss.
Of course you can, Delete!
You're an ac-tor!
Think about everyone in Cyberspace, watching you -
obeying your every command as if you were Motherboard.
I'm Motherboard.
I am Motherboard.
I am... MOTHERBOARD!
Excellent!
Just repeat after me.
Camera!
Not you, you duncebucket!
Camera on, boss.
We're live across Cyberspace!
Citizens of cyberspace -
I have discovered a way to dispose of Hacker.
Citizens of Cyberspace... I have discovered a way...
to dispose of Hacker.
But I need your help.
Hacker hates messes.
Hacker hates messages...
Not messages... messes!
Messes... Hacker hates messes.
So throw pies everywhere.
Throw them far... throw them now!
Throw pies everywhere.
Throw them now!
Phase Three is working!
A mock Motherboard causing cataclysmic chaos!
A positively perfect plan!
Once the chaos reaches the 'danger' zone...
the chaos will be irreversible!
Guys!
Motherboard's back!
Mess up cyberspace... mess, mess, messy!
Man, Mother-B looks kinda weird, don't you think?
Yeah, and why does she want everyone to make a mess?
'Cause it's not Motherboard, that's why!
Check out her hair!
Yoikes!
That's Delete's antenna stickin' up!
He's pretending to be Motherboard!
Now make noise... lots of noise!
Brilliant!
The more mess... the more noise... the more chaos...
the greater the vibrations throughout Cyberspace!
I don't know what Hacker's up to -
but we gotta get outta here fast!
How?
We can't even get through the gate to get to the code book!
Yes we can!
I forgot about this!
First you put in a cyber-coin...
Then you get a can.
All the cans in here have a key to open the gate!
All ya do is pick the label that fits the can - ya know,
the one that goes all the way around the can just right.
How about this one?
Uh-uh, I think it's this one?
No, the long one!
Let's just try this one!
Nope, too short!
Sorry...
Didge, we need another coin!
Last one.
So no guessing this time.
We need to figure out for sure which label fits the can.
How do we do that?
I've got it!
I can measure around the can with this licorice.
No I can't, it keeps slipping.
But wait!
I can measure the diameter.
Does that help?
Dunno...
Do you think there's a way to use the diameter
to figure out the circumference?
Worth a try!
Let's measure some circles and see.
Let's try this round rock.
First the diameter...
And now the circumference.
Man, the circumference is a lot longer than the diameter!
About one... two... three times longer!
So it takes a little more than three diameters
to equal the circumference of this circle!
Let's see if the same is true for this bigger circle!
The diameter...
And the circumference.
Huh!
Different size circle, but same result: the circumference
is still a little more than three times the diameter.
We're good to go!
What was that?
The most terrifying Creeper of all - the King Creeper!
We gotta get through the gate NOW!
Okay, the diameter is this long!
And we know the rule: to reach all the way around,
the length of the label has to be a little more
than three times the diameter!
Hurry... measure it already!
One diameter-two diameters-three diameters...
and a little bit more!
Now we need the label that matches this length!
Touchdown!
It fits just right!
I got the key!
Open the gate! Open the gate!
Hurry!
Yes... YES!
It's working!
Those cyber-sheep will do anything Motherboard says!
Delete!
We need more chaos!
He's in the make-up trailer, boss.
What?
Ooooooooo!
Eeeeeeee!
Iiiiiiiii!
Delete!
You have more chaos to cause!
Get back on camera!
Oh, I don't think so.
You don't what?
I've been doing some thinking, boss.
Here's my new contract..
Unlimited donuts for your best friend?
Green coated candy?
Four bunnies named George?
This is an outrage!
No contract - no Motherboard!
Actors!
What happened to the Creeper?
I don't know - but I don't miss it
Um... do we have to go in there?
It is awful dark.
Guys, as much as I don't want to go in there, we can't stop
Hacker if we don't get out of this place - and we can't get
out of here unless we get that code book!
Jackie's right.
We don't have a choice.
Oh man...
Matty... do you have to whistle?
It takes your mind off being scared.
Try it.
Nothin's comin' out.
My whistle's not workin'.
We'll whistle for you, Didge.
Don't be afraid.
We did it!
We made it all the way across the sphere!
And look!
I bet that's the code book!
Awesome.
Watchout!
That's not a flower!
Looks like a flower to me.
MAAAAAAT!
Hey! Who turned out the lights?
Hellllllllllp!
Get me outta here!
Quick!
Tickle it!
Goochy-goochy-goo!
Tickle-tickle!
Tee-hee!
Gotcha!
Matt... you okay?
Yeah... I think so.
What's it say?
How do we get out?
It looks like each sphere has its own code to open the lock.
Okay... so which sphere are we in?
You got me!
There's hundreds of 'em in here!
Trying each code will take forever!
We don't have forever!
Take a look.
Cyber-citizens...
we need to do more to keep Hacker away!
Keep throwing pies... make more noise... and hop!
Soon chaos will reign forever!
I don't know what Hacker's up to, but we gotta unplug
Delete before cyberspace is one big garbage dump!
Look!
The spheres are listed by the size of their circumference -
the distance around at their equators.
All we need to know is the circumference of this sphere -
then we can find our code in the book!
How do we do that?
Good question.
There's no way we can measure the distance
all the way around this place.
We don't have to!
We can measure the diameter!
Look!
All the spheres are just like ours.
See?
Each one has an orange road
across the diameter of the circle.
So if we measure the length of this road from here to the other
end... we can use our rule to figure out the circumference!
Then we'll know exactly which sphere we're in!
Here! Use my tape measure!
Hold this!
Okay.
Let's hit the road!
Hey!
Who took the book?
Didge?
DII-GIIIIIT!
YOIKS!
D-D-Don't worry about me... keep measuring!
On the other hand...
WORRRR-RRRYYYYY!
More noise... keep hopping!
Any moment now the chaos will reach the point of no return!
I need to stop!
What?
I have this tiny crink in my neck.
I'm moments away from achieving my defining dream and you're
stopping because of a tiny crink in your neck?
Yes.
Listen to me, you duncebucket—
Line 47b: you can't call me a duncebucket anymore.
What?
Furthermore... line 82c says:'any crink in the neck, no matter the
size, must be massaged before the acting can continue...'
I... I... urgh!
Turn around!
Lower... over a smidge, no the other way... yep, that's it...
Gimme that book, you big creep!
Give it to me!
Wh-oh!
I forgot... I can't fly!
Just stay calm... I can fly... I know I can!
Hey!
I'm flyin' now!
I'm outta here!
We did it!
I sure hope Didge makes it.
He'll be here!
Let's see, the diameter of this sphere is...
a hundred cybermeters!
And the rule is: every circle has a circumference
that's a little more than three times its diameter!
So if the diameter is a hundred...
then the circumference is about three times a hundred -
or three hundred cybermeters, plus a little more!
All we need now is the code book.
Digit!
One code book, as requested!
Didge!
You can made it!
And you can fly!
Yea!
I'm the amazin' me again!
Ya know, it wasn't so scary once I stopped being scared.
Hurry, find a circumference
that's a little more than three hundred cybermeters!
I'm looking, I'm looking!
It's got to be this one -
three hundred and fourteen cybermeters!
No other numbers are even close.
The code is: P-I-3-1-4-1-5.
IT'S THE KING CREEPER!
Inez!
Put in the code!
I'll handle the King!
Faster!
Hold it right there, Kingy!
I got a little present for you.
You can't be a king without a crown... try it on.
Got it!
Didge, come on!
Now you look like a real King... and I gotta go!
Do your stuff Didge!
Northern Frontier... here we come!
More mess... more noise... more chaos!
Yes... yes... just a little more.
Cyber citizens, prepare for final instructions...
You must—
Huh?
What happened?
My chaos is caput!
Citizens of cyberspace... this is Jackie, from Earth.
You've been tricked by Hacker.
Stop all chaos now.
Stop all noise now!
The future of cyberspace depends on it.
The real Motherboard will be back soon... I promise.
Nooooo!
I was this close to taking over cyberspace!
This close!
Take 'em away, Didge!
Bye bye, bad guys!
