Xiong Ye's arithmetic wasn't bad He could correctly count howwhen he split things up a all the numbers one to ninety-nine…
He had never calculated anything like this before
However, this really needed to be practiced ItYe began to count: ”1, 2, 3…”
Grandpa Priest had taught him how to count up to one hundred, but it was easy to lose count that way, so he had divided it up into ten groups of ten He made little piles of ten, and when he had ten piles, he would push the on to count out the next hundred…
After finally achieving the answer, Xiong Ye immediately went to look for Zhou Ji and share his results, but he discovered that Zhou Ji had already fallen asleep
He felt an itch in his heart, but Zhou Ji wasn't feeling well after all…
Xiong Ye simply lay down in bed and helped himself He had done this for hi Zhou Ji help him after he had becoone to sleep, ”……”
He had gotten halfway there when Xiong Ye saw Zhou Ji open his eyes He leaned over to give hilanced over and reached out a hand Xiong Ye embraced hi Ye felt so coet up, but Zhou Ji pinched his face, ”Did you finish calculating the nu Ye replied
“How ot out of bed to look at his pile of wooden bits He finally said, ”It's forty nine one hundreds plus forty nine!”
”Wrong It should be forty nine one hundreds plus fifty” Zhou Ji replied The people of the tribe generally didn't come into contact with numbers much, so they could only count up to one hundred and would count how many hundreds there were froht find this a bit troublesoood for these people to be able to count to one hundred smoothly Zhou Ji seehly translated to four twenties plus ten plus nine…
”Why?” Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji in confusion, ”You've counted it before? I haven't seen you count anything before!”
This was such a difficult question If Zhou Ji had calculated it, he definitely should've seen a lot of sticks around
”I don't need to count, I just have to think about it in my head to know the answer” Zhou Ji replied
Think about it and know the answer? Xiong Ye was shocked as he looked at Zhou Ji ”Did the Beast God tell you?”
Zhou Ji: ”… You're thinking too much”
”How do you know, then?”
”Didn't you split up the piles before? The first pile has one, and the last pile has ninety nine If you add those up, won't it make one hundred?” Zhou Ji slowly explained the calculation reat importance to education, and he had been sent to Olye This kind of question often appeared in his training class
Xiong Ye suddenly understood He rearranged his pile and realized that it really was forty nine one hundreds plus fifty
As for why he had been wrong before, it was probably because he hadthe question, Xiong Ye was very sincere as he said, ”Zhou Ji, you're really too smart!”
“Do you wantYe didn't think twice before saying, ”Yes! But haven't I learnt it already?” He had already learned this topic and could go and explain it to the priest!
”You've only learned one ht dinosaurs, and as while others have four legs There are a total of twenty two legs How s, and how many of them have four?” Zhou Ji asked This was another classic Oly Ye didn't know about Olyan to place the this question wasn't difficult when sticks were being used so straightforwardly After giving each of the eight dinosaurs two legs and ed dinosaur piles, it was easy to calculate
Xiong Ye felt a little proud, yet as a result…
Zhou Ji asked, ”If I caught a total of one hundred dinosaurs, and there are a total of three hundred and twenty legs?”
Xiong Ye had been fiddling with the sticks to calculate everything and felt that it was quite interesting, but now that Zhou Ji asked the question like this, he felt very confused--how could he count that? Also… ”You can't catch that many dinosaurs! Our entire tribe couldn't catch that ive you fish soup to drink, and after you finish half, I fill it up for you, then fill it up again after you've finished half again, and then fill it up again when you've finished half of that, and this time you finish it all, howYe couldn't figure it out at all ”Why does this need to be calculated?”
”A dinosaur can eat half of the grass on the ground every year How rass?”
”I know this one!” Xiong Ye said, ”Two years!”
”Wrong!” Zhou Ji said, ”Grass will regrow, so it's impossible for it to be finished in two years”
That was true! Xiong Ye looked at Zhou Ji in admiration Zhou Ji was really too i this situation, Zhou Ji, who had used his Oly class and acuity to toy with a person from the primitive era, was satisfied and said, ”Come, I'll teach you arithmetic If you want to becos”
”Good! Should the priest learn this as well?” Xiong Ye no longer dared to say that he had already learned these things this tiht of the priest--the priest had always loved learning these kinds of things
”I'ood and can't teach too h to teach justthis He decided to first learn it hio and teach it to the priest
