Hey! DW!

- Hey! - Whoa!

Way to lose, Arthur! - I thought you were going to win.

Not me. I knew you would lose. I'm so glad you did.

Me, too. You're a great loser.

I couldn't have done it without you.

- Especially you, Buster. - What are friends for?

Three cheers for Arthur, the loser!

Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray!

Do you like riddles? See if you can get this one.

When is it better to lose than win?

Arthur! Arthur!

Hi, Arthur.

'You've got chocolate all over your face.'

Got any ideas? At the end of the show, see if you solved the riddle.

You could be a loser, too.

- Arthur! - Ssh.

You broke my Mackerel Man.

I thought his fin came off.

- You owe me a new one. - No, I don't.

'It's time for another fun and exciting round of Riddle Quest.'

- We have to stop fighting. Riddle Quest. - Riddle Quest? What's that?

This cool game show. Kids answer riddles and win prizes.

'And here is your host, Alex LeBeq.'

'Welcome to Riddle Quest. I'm here with our reigning champion,

- 'Charlotte Bickles.' - She's been the champ for weeks now.

- No-one can beat her. - Big deal.

'I am a kind of band that does not make music. What am I?'

- Er...a band of rocks. - A rubber band.

- 'You are a rubber band. - That's correct.

'I am a king, but I'm also a common measuring device. What am I?'

- A ruler. - 'You are a ruler. - Right again.'

Hey, you're really good at this.

'Charlotte and Andy, are you ready for your final, really big riddle?

'If I fill a pitcher, it's lighter than when it's filled with air.

'What am I?'

- Holes. - 'You are holes.'

'Charlotte, you have won again.

'See you again next week on Riddle Quest.

'All runners-up will receive 100 boxes of Choco-Stick.'

You got the answers quicker than Charlotte. You would have won.

'To appear on the show, send your name to Riddle Quest Studios.'

Ridiculous! You know how many kids must try to get on that show?

Stranger things have happened.

- I got an A in the maths quiz. - You studied hard for that quiz.

See what I mean? I never study.

So why did I choose to study for that quiz? Life is very weird.

- New applicants. - Bring them here.

Let's see. "Arthur." Fine. Book him for next week.

A game show? Why do they want you?

He's the best riddle answerer ever.

- No, I'm not. - Don't let anybody know.

- You've got to act confident. - Why?

You've got to psych out your opponent.

Even if she's way better than you.

Will you be friends with us when you're rich and famous?

Sometimes rich people can be real snobs.

Would everyone calm down? I haven't won anything yet.

I hope he doesn't wear his silk bow-tie.

I think a red cape, with a mask.

I can't believe it. This is such a dumb idea.

Arthur, these kids are masters at riddles. You'll thank me later.

DING-DONG

It's black, white and red all over.

- A newspaper. - No, a penguin holding its breath!

- LAUGHING - Hey, my answer was right, too.

- Sorry, DW. - We can't help him.

- He's terrible. - We asked him 20 riddles. He got them all wrong.

Oh, please don't give up on him.

He's my only brother.

- They're dopey riddles, not the kind on Riddle Quest. - How do you know?

They could ask you anything.

She's right, Arthur. Look. This was last week's final round.

'I am a pet that is always found on the floor.

'What am I?

- 'You are a carpet. - That's correct.'

See? Just a dopey riddle, but she got it.

Boy, is she good! Let's watch her bout with Sammy Liston.

I want to go for a bike ride.

Do you wanna beat Charlotte Bickles?

- Well, yeah. - You've got to know her.

- You've got to eat, sleep and think like her. - OK, OK. I'll watch.

PING-PING-PING-PING

Stop! 45 pings in a minute. Try the left hand.

PING-PING-PING-PING

- She sells sea shells by the "she" shore. - SEA shore!

You've got to enunciate. You're going to be on TV. Do it again.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.

- Cow and pogo stick. - You are a milk shake.

- Lemon and cat. - You are a sourpuss. - BELL RINGS

I think he's ready.

Must...answer...riddles.

Arthur, wake up! We're late!

- Huh? What are you doing, Buster? - Trying to beat the clock.

It's not working. Follow me.

- Wait! Why are you dressed so funny? - No time to explain. We're late!

Oh, we're very late.

Seems to be a break in the clouds.

- Fix it, Tibbledee and Tibbledum. - Don't ask us. We're all thumbs.

- Where am I? - You're in Riddleland, where everything's a riddle.

What would you like with your "T"?

- I don't want tea. I want to go home. - Not until you answer this riddle.

Is the sentence "This statement is false" true or false?

True. No, false. I-I don't know.

Of course you don't. There's no answer. Ha-hah!

I want to go home.

I want to...go home.

- I want to go home... - Arthur, today is the big day.

Oh, it was just a dream. Phew!

- Want me to ask you some riddles while you're getting dressed? - No!

Bye, Arthur. We'll watch you every week.

- I'll be home this afternoon. - When you win, you'll have to go back.

- You might have to change schools. - Maybe I won't win.

Not a chance. We've trained you well.

You're on, kids! Whatever happens, we love you.

Thanks, Sally.

Here's your first riddle.

I'm always coming, but I never arrive. What am I?

- PING - Arthur? - You are tomorrow.

That's correct. Well done.

Yeah! Go, Arthur!

I miss him already.

You are a swordfish.

You are a snowbank.

Correct. Next question. I am a nut that has no shell. What am I?

You are a doughnut.

Right again. Next question. I have 100 limbs but I can't walk.

What am I?

You are a tree.

Next question. I am a chair for an amphibian.

What am I?

A toadstool.

The score is tied. Are you two ready for your really big riddle?

This will decide who is the champion of Riddle Quest.

I occur once in a second, twice in a week,

and once in a year. What am I?

'Hmm... Second. Week. Year.

'I got it! It's the letter E.

'Wait. What if Buster's right?

'If I am good at riddles, I could be on this dumb show for years.'

I am purple.

And I go, "Hmm..." What am I?

- PING - ..I forget.

Huh? Oh, so do I.

Oh, we'll give it to you, anyway.

APPLAUSE

- You are the letter E. - That is correct. Charlotte, you win again.

'All runners-up receive 100 boxes of Choco-Stick, the chocolate stick.'

Arthur! Arthur!
