You gotta be okay, Jacks, I know you don't like to swim. I took some lessons. I'll be fine. Cool but it hurts.

Can you stand?

I don't think so, but I'll try.

I'll help you.

Ow!

There's no way I can run...or swim!

Don't worry, Jax.

We'll figure something out - you just rest.

What are we gonna do?

We need three on our team - and Digit can't compete

because he's our coach.

How about Slider? !

He can take my place!

Great idea/Yes! /NO!

No?

Why not, Matt?

Well, because...I don't know, it should just be us, that's why.

But 'us' is only two now.

And we need three for the relay.

C'mon, Matt, Slider's as much a part

of Team Motherboard as anyone.

Yea! /That's right!

There! It's official!

You're on the team.

Okay, Matty?

...Fine!

But I run...Slider swims.

Sure. Whatever's best for the team.

How we doin', Coach?

Yeah, how we doin'?

We could run all day, huh, Buzzy.

That's the problem, this is too easy!

You need to practice on the real thing...or close.

Abracadabra, for glory and fame, transform this dump

into a place to train!

Hmm!

One of my better make-overs, if I do say so myself.

And now for an extreme makeover!

Hey coach. How's tricks?

I've saved my best trick for you!

NO!

You think you can win this race without my magic? !

For your information, I'm perfectly capable

of extraordinary athletic feats - without your magic.

Oops!

So drop and give and me twenty!

But Wicky baby--

NOW!

Okay, Sly...you ready?

I don't see why we need to time Slider -

we already know who's doing what.

Let's just go practice.

That's not the point, Matt.

What if Slider's faster than I am at the obstacle course?

Don't you think we should switch in order to win?

Yea...I guess so.

Come on, Matt.

We need to know his times so I can plug them into the table.

Makes sense to me!

Ready...

How'd I do?

I'll have the times in a sec.

Just remember...the run is mine.

Okay, here's what we've got...

Inez still owns the obstacle course

with twenty-eight cyberseconds - way faster than you guys.

What about the run?

Inez forty-six... Slider forty-three

...and Matt...forty-two!

Told you I'm the fastest runner!

Just watch me hi-five Zeus at the finish line.

Except - you were the also the fastest swimmer.

See?

So?

I'm good at a lot of things.

Yeah, but maybe putting you in the swim event instead

of the run will give us a better chance to win.

But...I had the best time in the run -

and that's the event I want.

You know...maybe it's a good idea to try different line-ups.

Maybe we should just go practice!

It's a relay race, Mister Muscle!

How am I supposed to put together a line-up

if I don't know who's fastest in each event?

It doesn't matter!

The run is last, right?

I want the glory of that winning moment, so I'm doing it!

There won't be a winning moment if your team doesn't win!

Now get behind this line and let me test you!

Don't you dare move 'til I say!

On your marks...get set...

I saw that Hacker!

Back up!

GO!

Okay, let's just forget what each of us wants to do...

and look at the times.

According to the table...

...Matt won the swim by three whole cyberseconds.

But he only beat Slider by one cybersecond in the run.

So?

So you're a "fast" runner, but you're a "really fast" swimmer.

Which means the best chance for our team to win is if you swim.

No way.

And it won't matter if I swim fast...if he runs slow.

What's your deal, man?

You only beat me by one second in the run.

Still won.

Time out!

This isn't about...you or you!

It's about all of us together...as a team.

You got that right, Didge - in more ways than one!

Of course I did!

I did?

Yes...because in the end, all that matters

is the team's total time.

I GET IT!

Different line-ups give us different totals!

Exactly, so we need to find the line-up

that gives us the fastest total time!

Jackie, read out the times if I do the obstacle course...

Slider swims...

and Matt runs.

Twenty-eight...thirty-eight... forty-two...

And the total of these times is...

A hundred and eight cyberseconds!

What's our total time if Matt swims and Slider runs?

Add up twenty-eight...thirty-five

. . . and forty-three.

A hundred and six cyberseconds!

Um, isn't a hundred and six faster than a hundred and eight?

So our best chance of winning...

is if Matt swims.

No way.

I run or I don't do anything!
