On the small table of foodness, Charlie has placed cereals, five apples, milk, juice and coffee.

Molly stumbled into class looking even more tired than she did on Wednesday. She was wearing her hat (of course) and a sweater, but one might notice that she was obviously wearing pajama pants and sneakers with no socks. She was also carrying a stuffed rabbit instead of her school books.

She signed in, took some juice and collapsed into a seat.

Looking through his book, Cameron comes up with his reply. "Nine is the maximum number of cubes that are needed to sum to any positive integer."

"21 is special because it's the smallest number of distinct squares needed to tile a square." Victor says proudly.

Re: Beginners

"4 is the smallest number of colors sufficient to color all planar maps," Kiki reports.

Molly rested her chin on top of the stuffed rabbit's head as she looked at the website. She looked up at Professor Eppes, yawned and said, "5 is the number of platonic solids."

Pippi was surprised to find she was ready for this question. Because when her Charlie told her to remember that numbers were in everything, she had decided to look Pie up on the internet. After getting several exciting new recipes to try with rhubarb she found that there is no E in 3.14...

She didn't even have to look in her book. She took out a notebook instead.

"Pi is always the ratio of a circle's distance around and its distance across. Always. No matter how big or small the circle is... Which is sad, because it never gets a vacation."

".50 is the largest caliber that can be used without violating certain conventions."

Logan looked up his number. "'69 has the property that n2 and n3 together contain each digit once,'" he said.

Re: Intermediate

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Zero is the additive identity.

According to what I read, it's a number that can really make your brain hurt if you spend too much time wondering what zero to the zero power is, or reading the proof I came across that proved mathematically that one equals zero."

"4 is the smallest number of colors sufficient to color all planar maps. That sounds pretty cool," Chloe says.

Charlie pulls his chair over to the Advanced group and sits down with them. "So, today I thought we'd talk about locker 327 and how we should go about mapping it."

ooc: zomg slowplay, yes. Everyone must speak.

Re: Advanced

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"Um, inifinity goes on forever and is really cool in Calculus." He gulped. "We're mapping out the locker?"

Talk to Charlie

Charlie is drinking coffee and planning Saturday's locker research.

Victor approached Charlie at the beginning of class.

"Hey, sir? Good news! I can be in your class after all!"
