[edit] Synopsis
While Ruff Ruffman scrambles to get ready for the first episode, Anna, Julia, and Khalil go on "The Amazing Space Race", a hunt for all nine planets in a scale model of the Solar System scattered throughout the "lovely city of Boston" using poetic clues (see clues section), as the in the television program, The Amazing Race. They earn 70 points for reaching seven planets in the allotted time limit for each, and an additional 10 points for creating a scale model.
Meanwhile, Taylor, Noah, and Brian stay in Studio G (a.k.a. Ruff's garage) and earn 40 points in the Half-Time-Quiz show. Ruff gives them false reassurance with the FETCH! Fairness Guarantee, a promise that each contestant will have each had an equal amount of challenges before the season ends. They kindly oblige.
Khalil earned an additional 5 bonus points for mentioning Ruff's name during the challenge.

[edit] Clues
Listed below are various poetic clues used based on the Greek mythology of the planets' origins.
[edit] Mercury
You'll find this little messenger outside the front door.
[edit] Venus
Earth's twin sister and goddess of love
Invoked the evening and morning stars.
You'll find this planet above the 4th floor;
You'll also find the cars.
[edit] Earth
Nearby is your next destination
And if you want the proof,
A kingly destination
Can be seen from the roof.
[edit] Mars
13 1 18 19 is in the 13 1 12 12
[edit] Jupiter
Train your eyes to face the south.
[edit] Saturn
Go to Broadway;
You're on the right track;
You'll flip when you find yrarbilcilbupegdirbmac(cambrige public library).
[edit] Uranus
You've just seen Saturn's rings,
Now make one more.
Your next location's pretty far,
So try to find a yellow car.
[edit] Neptune
Look between QC16H and QC16N.
Take the cab to Newton Centre.
[edit] Pluto
Look around and you should see
A circle with a capital T.
Your last stop
Is the last stop
So climb aboard
And ride towards
PLUTO!
[edit] Quotes
- Ruff: Rule no. 1: We never refer to Studio G as "the garage", OK? It makes me a little insecure.
- Khalil (to gangsters): Have any of you guys seen a Mars exhibit?
- Julia: Ruff, I haven't been too happy with your electronics here.
- Anna: (sarcastically) This could be tight since we have four seconds, three seconds left. Two, one, yay! I found it! Crap!
- Ruff: Someone's not gonna be happy when they see the time...
- Ruff: "Don't worry, only 19 more episodes to go, FETCH! 3000!"
- Julia: " Ruff is this of your doing?"
[edit] Notes
This episode when repeated may be edited due to the status of Pluto becoming a dwarf planet.
