"Brain's Biggest Blunder" is the second half of the seventh episode in the sixteenth season of Arthur.

Summary

When Brain gets teamed with Buster and Binky in the annual Arithmattack competition, he immediately enrolls Buster in binomial boot camp. Can Brain transform Buster into a mathematic marvel? Or will he be forced to eat humble pi?

Plot

Brain explains to the viewers that he doesn't take getting 'A's for granted, contrary to popular belief; his mom puts them on their refrigerator, just like other kids. Brain then shows the viewers his secret warehouse of refrigerators with 'A's on them, when Brain hears and sees a monster (Buster) inside a cage with a sheet over it. Brain tells the viewers not to look, because it's his only failure.

Brain's Biggest Blunder

After the title card, Mr. Ratburn repeats a math question to Buster. Buster tries to concentrate, but he still gets the answer wrong. Mr. Ratburn then turns to Brain for the answer, and Brain gets the answer right. Mr. Ratburn tells Buster that he should review his long division before the upcoming Arithmattack competition, or as Arthur likes to call it, "The Brain Wins Again Competition". Mr. Ratburn tells the class that they will be doing something differently this year; instead of competing individually, they will be in randomly assigned teams. Brain is shocked and gasps when he finds out that Mr. Ratburn teams up Brain with Binky and Buster.

The Brain trains him for the Arithmattack competition against Prunella's team. Steve's team lost, but Brain's team makes it to the Arithmattack finals against Prunella's team. But Buster got offended at Brain for his bad tutorial session and left the cafeteria. So Binky tutored him well through imagination for a couple days, and his team won the Arithmattack competition.
