Hello All,

I wanted to share a little humour if you do not mind.

Last week my kids were practicing their mental arithmetic, initially doing
sums like 11 + 7 etc.

Then they started getting excited because they noticed they could add
111+111

I gently lead them along doing 222+222 and 333+333.  Of course, the answer
is Six Hundred and Sixty Six
We then got to 444+444 and both Max and Rowena (they are nine) shouted out
Eight hundred and Eighty Eight.  There was glee in their voices at
that stratospheric heights they were now capable of.

So next I said "OK, whats 666+666".  Rowena was silent as she realised it
was not so simple, but without hesitation, Max responded with "Twelve
Hundred and Twelvety Twelveth"

Hope you like it,

Mark
