## Plot

### Circumstances

Since the events of *The Trouble With Nothing*, Four has been threatening the Problem Blob, saying that he's going to tell the four other meanies about the video, and that it's been uploaded to BBC iPlayer.

Fed up with these events, the Problem Blob decides to set up a plan for revenge when Four asks Six to help him and his two other Numberjacks find a problem about sperm for Three's 14th birthday.

Three wants to be taller than Four. When she hears Five sing, she decides to sing for ages, making Four annoyed.

The alarm goes off and there's a problem: a pencil is growing longer. Four goes out and Three asks to manage the screens.

Three cannot find a number for Four to land on. Six calls Agent 16 to get the boy to write a 4. The boy does so and Four lands on it. Four sees a blob of green slime and knows whom it belongs to: the Problem Blob!

Four sorts out the pencil with brain gain. Then the Blob causes more longer-growing problems at the café. Four puts everything back to normal and shrinks the Problem Blob. However, Three causes too much brain-gain to be made and shrinks the mop too much. After making the mop the right length, Four then comes home. Then he sees on the screen two pencils the same height. Next he sees the the cleaner's got a twin brother with two same mops. Five then gives the challenge: to find things that are the same height or the same length.
