MATHS CLASSES: Friday 21.10

Charlie's desk is overflowing with papers today, and two of the blackboards are covered with x, y, brackets, equal signs and exclaimation points. Charlie seems a little frustrated but mostly cheerful. He tells you that he's moved his office hours to Tuesdays, and that four consecutive classes missed without an excuse now equals being kicked out of class. He then gives you a sheet of paper and tell you to go sit down.

Han shakes his head. Granddad had taught him this one with mavir, a nerf and a ferl.

"The man takes the chicken across, leaving the fox and the grain. (Fox and grain on side 1, chicken on 2)
He brings the grain across and takes the chicken back. (Fox 1, Grain 2, chicken in boat)
He leaves the chicken and brings the ferl fox across. (Chicken 1, Fox & grain 2)
He makes a last trip and brings the chicken across."

As he turns in the paper, Han gives a wry smile. "He needs a bigger boat."
