Here’s my ‘solution’ and I apologize for my sense of humour, in advance.
A. All of this in real life, is bunkum. Mathematics is the art of fantasy. To be precise > get real mister Mathematics, why should I care about the order if it takes more than a reasonable amount of time to watch the series in order, assuming that there is one > Millions of years? Really?
Better to watch the series all jumbled up. After all, the movie makers wanted it that way.
So, mister Mathematics, your services are not required.B. Ok. to tackle the problem head on with a real life human brain, I would watch each episode and give it a number from one to forty. I would allow for approximations. eg. Episode one is in the vicinity of the end of the story. Episode two is somewhere in the middle but more likely around number twenty-five-ish… and so on.
Then I would hone in on each episode and fine-tune the series.
But here is the catch. I am not very good at memorizing stories.. good but not very good. So, if you really REALLY want an answer, then get someone with photographic memory to order the series very very quickly, so why would you use Mathematics when Humans can do it better?
I repeat, mister Mathematics, your services are not required.C. But there are conundrums:
1. As stated earlier the series is meant to be watched as it stands. Reason being it is a story about TIME TRAVEL, so there is no order.
2. If individual episodes time-warp, then again there is no answer, no order and therefore again meant to be watched as presented.
3. I know that I have repeated this, but it is so much related to the subject matter that it needs highlighting.
NB: The series is about TIME TRAVEL and there is no order.
4. As all movies, sit back, enjoy the show. After all it is a MOVIE!
So I repeat, mister Mathematics, your services are not required.
5. Mathematics can not solve this problem because the Mathematical answer to this problem is stupid, hypothetical and pointless > it is a problem for real people real situations…. oops sorry. I got carried away. I guess I watch too much Judge Judy which orthodoxically, this is a prime example of “The order does not matter”, so enjoy the show and stop ruining it with Mathematical garbage.
Again I apologize for my sense of humour. -
Hey! Where’s the comment I put up a couple of days ago?

Sorry about that!
Since we’re writing for kids, we’re pretty cautious in our comments section. I didn’t have access to the internet yesterday so I couldn’t approve your comment,
Cheers,
David
