While walking, 1 finds 12 finding out Numberblocks, one of them can make a 7x8 rectangle, another one made a 9x6 rectangle. But 1 wants to try stretching like the rectangles! She tries once, twice, even three times, but the only thing 1 did was make herself wobbly, she then feels cut. The next thing that 1 remembers is that she is making a new shape. She touched her toes!

It's at this moment 1 remembered when she asked the What-Iffer, "What if 1 could be divided into pieces!". She never wanted to get her answer the painful way, but after what felt like stepping on 1,000 needles, 1 wanted to tell 3, 5, 7, 9, and every other odd numberblock that she made a rectangle that she never made before, and that she could split in half just like her best friend 2. And 1 piled every odd number to say "Odd numbers, I can split into 2 pieces like even numbers!" Everyone asked how 1 did this amazing trick, so she explained how she stretched too hard and made a unique shape. 3 asked 1 to split into half, then 5, 7, and before 1 knew it, everyone was asking her to split into two, even the new rectangles, who figured themselves out, and just because she wanted everyone to stop, she did. Everyone was confused and surprised! The new Numberblock looked a lot like 5, but was in a different shape, more like the shape 2, 8, 18, and 32 can make.
