math lesson
I have an uncontrollable urge to arrange things in perfect multiples. Say nine cans of cola have to be in three sets of three, and 12 apples in three sets of four, or four sets of three. 17 would be undesirable — I’d have to throw out that extra can of cola to make it a nice four sets of four. Even on a restless night, I count sheep in this fashion. I can’t possibly throw the odd sheep out, but I’ll make it jump over the fence in the fastest speed possible.
