"And guess what?" Abby said, grinning. She pointed to Rae's notes. "You have exactly that written down! Which means you got this far completely right." Yayz!

"However," Abby continued, "you put down 37 as the sum of all these numbers. Actually, the real answer is 41."

Abby underlined the sum of all the numbers. "Okay, so you'll see that our sum has two digits; four and one. We need to reduce this so that it's only one digit," she explained. "We do this by separating the digits and adding them together. Like this."

"There!" Abby said, pointing to the five. "That's the answer we're looking for. Now, you have to follow the same process with my middle name and my last name. Understand?" She pushed the parchment back over to Rae. "You do that and then show me the three numbers when you're done. We've just done the first one, so all you need to do is find the second and third. Let me know when you're finished."

Rae severely tried to understand what Abigail was saying. She stared at the paper as her partner was writing down the numbers. Then she finished.. Wait WHAT? "That was ONLY your first name??" Oh merlin now she was lost.... She scrambled as she looked from what Abigail had written to what Rae had previously written to find that Abigail was right, Rae failed at simple math.... How embarrassing. "Oh right, okay one moment..."And Rae began scribbling

Quote:

Patricia
16+1=17 +20=37 +18=55 +9=64 +3=67 +9=76 +1=77

7+7=14
1+4=5

Abigail = 5 Patricia = 5

Hartzler
8+1=9 +18=27 +20=47 +36=83 +12=95 +5=100 +18=118
1+1+8=10
1+0=1

Abigail = 5 Patricia = 5 Hartzler = 1
5+5+1=11
1+1=2

Once again she made simple math mistakes. This is why she never had partners, she always humiliated herself. "So erm.. The answer is two.. Right?"
