    works for every number.

    where you guys think like preschoolers, I came up with an entirely different solution that works in every instance.
    Do you know what would work for pre-schoolers?

     
    Count the circles in the numbers...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    Maybe you were especially precocious when you were a sprog but most kid's minds operate on a very simple level!
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    An Egyptian writer, Ptah Hotep, put patriarchal beliefs as clearly as
    anyone in the early civilizations: "If you are a man of note, found for
    yourself a household, and love your wife at home, as it beseems. Fill her
    belly, clothe her back. . . . But hold her back from getting the mastery.
    Remember that her eye is her stormwind, and her vulva and mouth are her
    strength."

    It's like talking to the sphinx. If I give an answer that is entirely consistent with the riddle, but it juts doesn't happen to be the "clever" one he had in his head, does he still eat me? Yes. Yes he does.
