If you haven't fallen in love with the seriously seductive Benedict Cumberbatch already, you're definitely going to after watching this video of him on Sesame Street, helping kids learn how to count.

The actor gives away his identity, claiming that he's not Sherlock, he's Benedict as “Murray-arty” challenges him to solve his brain puzzler, of figuring how many apples and how many oranges there are on a table.

Benedict seems to be stumped by the math problem and gallantly requests the help of the Count which clears some of the haze in the show.

Also, if you pay attention, there are some serious spoilers in the short clip, as Murray enters saying “Did you miss me? Did you miss me?” hinting at the lines that Moriarty utters in the series 3 finale.

In featuring in the Sesame Street show, Benedict joins in the ranks of other celebrities such as One Directon and Katy Perry, to promote education through fun.
