Instead just add them on to the number would be two million billion gazillion seventy-nine billion, six hundred sixty-nine million, one hundred ninety-five thousand, two hundred and nineteen, point one four one five nine plus R2D2. Although I believe you did some of that math incorrectly there in which case the actual answer would be two million billion gazillion seventy-nine billion, six hundred forty- three million, two hundred ninety-five thousand, two hundred and twenty-one R-D, point one four eight five nine. As you can see I added in the R2-D2 and fixed a couple of your calculations." She winked and grinned at the other girl to let her know that she was just playing along. She agreed, if this guy wasn't going to give straight answers, then the only way to respond was with even more crooked ones
"Actually,"Adrienne pointed out over Tora's shoulder (she was starting to like this new professor, if only because he made all of the students so frustrated), "You did quite a bit of that wrong. The real answer is," cue glance at her parchment and deep breath, "Two thousand million billion gazillion seventy-nine billion, seven hundred forty six million, nintey nine thousand, one hundred eighty-five point three nine six five plus R2-D2 plus 2i plus Obi One Kenobi. This is of course under the assumption that the magic number is seven. If it's three, then the answer would be two thousand million billion gazillion seventy-nine billion, seven hundred forty six million, nintey nine thousand, one hundred eighty-one point three nine six five plus R2-D2 plus 2i plus Obi One Kenobi." There. That had been extremely satisfying to say, and she had just remembered why she used to like math so much.
