Digit arrives in R-Fair City ready to seek out Madame N. Cognita, who invited him vacation there. Only after she's used a crooked fairway game to trick him into a cage does he realize that she is Hacker in disguise. The kids, having been sent to rescue him, know only that he is in danger and that Motherboard has said something about unfair games. When a coin toss wins them a free ride from a cab driver named ""Lucky"", they take advantage of the opportunity to explore the city with a local. Lucky teaches them how to recognize a fair game--one in which everyone's chances of winning are the same--and leads them from site to site to test the games out. She explains that a rumor has been circulating that there are unfair games in R-Fair City, and that as a result fewer and fewer people have been coming to play. The kids think about why someone would want to make people doubt R-Fair City's games, and decide the resulting chaos sounds like something Hacker would orchestrate. Meanwhile, Buzz an
The Incriptor Chip has fallen into a pyramid in the desert and Dr. Marbles was getting it, until he was imprisoned. The kids were called upon by Motherboard to go in and get Marbles and the chip. Unfortonatly, they have to get out before the gate of the pyramid has closed, locking them in for eternity. The gate drops down as the water drips from two cylinders. The kids find out there are 15 rings of water left and each ring drops out each minute, meaning they have about 15 minutes to go in and out. Matt's watch is broken and Jackie might sneeze again and lose count of time. However, they find an artifact moving at the same pace as the water cylinder, and then use a bunch of rubies and an even distributor to know how many seconds have passed and a ring and stick to know how many minutes they have left.
Convinced his past failures were the result of bad fortune, the Hacker determines to collect the 10 legendary Good Luck Charms of Cyberspace--possession of which, according to the Book of Power, will guarantee him good luck forever. By the time Motherboard learns of his intent, only one Charm remains at large. She sends Digit and the kids after it, but is unable to tell them which of the forest's many bunnies is the lucky one. Using the clues she can give them, they group the bunnies by characteristic, and when Motherboard remembers the exact qualities of the lucky bunny they are able to identify it quickly. Unfortunately, Buzz and Delete grab it and race to the Northern Frontier before the kids can stop them. Meanwhile, the Hacker has decided to replace the bungling robots. His order to ""Henchmen R Us"" for all the henchmen who are ""evil or cheap"" results in the arrival of a hoard of potential employees. After some consideration, he asks all the candidates who are ""evil and cheap
Buzz and Delete, posing as a delivery person, replace Motherboard's cryoxide with green sludge. When Digit arrives she is overheated and getting worse fast. He discovers the goop where the coolant should be and when the kids arrive tells them that if Motherboard doesn't get fresh cryoxide soon her CPU will melt. They find a container a little taller and almost as wide as the coolant tank, and Matt and Inez leave with it in Dr. Marbles' new 2-seater cybercoupe. Jackie stays to help Digit look after Motherboard, wearing one of the helmets Matt brought with him from batting practice to protect herself from the debris flying out of Motherboard's circuits as they heat up. When the coupe lands at Blue Falls Castle, Matt and Inez find the door guarded by the gnome they met on their previous visit to Castleblanca. They don't notice Buzz and Delete crash-landing in the moat, having been sent by the Hacker to ensure they don't succeed in saving Motherboard. To their surprise, Sams, the tw

They return to rehearsals, only to have WickedÕs rehearsal interrupted by the collapse of the platform on which she is standing. She quits the show. The
