My New Book is On Sale!!

Posted By: Hal Lewis

Hey Sparky:

The character having the thought that you referenced is a 15-year-old who dropped out of school at 13 when his parents died in 1907. And, as I explained, math had not been his best subject even before he left school.

When you are writing the thoughts of a character such as THAT, you can't very well have him thinking:

"I don't know precisely how many sheets are in this box, but I know that if measure the diagnonal dimension of the container and then use the Pythagorean Theorem to take the square root of the diagonal measurement that I can determine the dimensions of the sides, by which I can use Waage and Guldberg's Law of Mass Action to calculate the specific number of cards per box."
