Oy, now I'll make myself some enemies, but I think maths is quite important. You'll notice that at least when you try to do your taxes.
I for my person like it when I calculate something, and in the end all the numbers fall in place nicely. I wish I'd be real good in it, then I could study it.<P><i>Farmer Brown wants to sell the eggs from his farm on the market. He wants to count them and so puts them into lines with always 2 eggs beside each other, but in the end he has one left. Then he tries it with 3 eggs beside each other, and has again one left. The same with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 eggs in a row. He has always one left.
How many eggs he has most likely?</i>
