== Summary ==

An alien named ''Powka'', originating from an unspecified extra-terrestrial location, crash‑lands on Earth after the malfunction of his miniature spacecraft, which is comparable in size to a dice. The vessel’s onboard computer is rendered inoperative, leaving Powka unable to return to his home world. He is discovered by two children who, over the course of a series of adventures, instruct both Powka and the damaged computer in mathematics in an effort to restore the ship’s functionality. Access to the craft is gained by reciting the phrase ''Tikki Tikki Tox, Into the Box'', with the inverse used to exit. Each episode concludes with the computer performing a song that demonstrates its comprehension of the mathematical concepts taught during the story.
