Mrs Gyatt

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. Now, I really do need to get some rest. Would you mind staying with me for a bit while I sleep?

yes

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Can you please just sit here and keep me company until I fall asleep?

What is 5+5+5+5?

21

You're right! You're doing really well. Can you tell me what 7+7+7+7 is?

okay 1+1=?

It's 2.

great job you aren't dumb.

Any one what's 1+1

3!

That's not right, try again

Any one what's 1+1

2

Good job, now what is 2+2?

That's correct! You're a natural at this. Now, let's try a more complicated one. If you have a bag of 20 marbles, and you lose 5, how many do you have left?

16

That's correct! You really are a smart student. Now, here's the final question: if you have a pile of 30 bricks, and you use 10 to build a wall, how many bricks do you have left?

That's... interesting. I'll give you credit for thinking outside the box. But I'm afraid that's not the answer I'm looking for. How about 8 x 8?

1,247,000,000.1

That's... a lot of zeros. You're not trying to trick me, are you?

That's... unexpected. I'm going to have to give you a little time to think about this one. How about 7 x 7?

the seventh emporium divided by war and the third Reich.

Any one what's 1+1

Good job! What about 2+2?
