- "The first player has to start with the number 1 and find one thing. Then, the next player moves on to the number 2 and has to find two things that are the same.
Then, the next player-r-r has to find thr-r-ree things that are the same. Oh, it's fun!" - — Jay Jay and Herky explaining the rules of the Counting Game
Not to be confused with the song.
Jay Jay, Tracy and Herky decide to play the "Counting Game", where you count a number of things as you find them. When it's Tracy's turn after Jay Jay gets to eleven, Tracy nearly runs out of time until she discovers that sometimes the answer can be right in front of her.

Trivia[]
- Moral: The answer to your problem can be right in front of you.
- A storybook adaptation is based on the episode.
- When Tracy looks at the clock when she was almost out of time, it reads 12:00 pm.
- In the UK release, Tracy's "Hmm," was muted before she says, "What are these doing here?".
- According to the DVD, "School Is Cool!," in the episode when Jay Jay, Herky, and Tracy find two things that are the same, the closed captions misspell Tuffy's name as Toughie, but it's really spelled Tuffy. This is most likely a spelling error.
