WELCOMES THE CHILDREN |
You could fill pages with Jesus and the children, they bring so much joy to the heart. The stained glass windows are all mine! Well done, Dan.
Any time, Dan! You would be welcome to my humble but glorious in light and colors abode.
How generous!
Going over to DM is a veritable dumpster dive, so here's the direct link to the image of the equation:
8b. Nine hundred and thirty-four children were divided equally among four teams. How many children were on each team?
Followed by a diagram that connects circles in this pattern:

JESUS WELCOMES ALL THE CHILDREN
Pheww! Good thing!
A Counting Conundrum to Confound and Confuse—and Clarify!
The One/Three diagram: that couldn’t possibly illustrate the Trinity, could it?
We’re all wide-awake now!
Good Morning, Dan. :-)
Mary-Lou! I’m enjoying the LBQ (Lull Between Quakes) here in Califerndoc. Hope you’re content, too.
I worked for a regional office of education when all of this started many many years ago . . . the intent? Dummy down education especially for those who excel either through God gifting them or through dedicated study. What could easily be worked out in their heads was left to waste time, engegy and $$$ and purposely cause confusion. I call it downright evil.
Good Morning Dan, and joyful Friday to each gallery visitor.
A blessed and wonderful theme- So many favorites:
#8 Ansiaux
#24 Bourdon
#27 Bloch
And, as etabeta mentioned; glorious glass!
Thank You Dan.
"What Happened to Your Hand?"
And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.“And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
Enjoying the LBB here. :-) (Lull Between Blizzards)
Our worst weather is usually Feb-March, so the Winter is Young.
etabeta, we hope to soon organize a ‘class field trip’ to your Museum Gallery of Glass. We’ll need parking for ten buses. Oh, and can you supply lunch? And wine =:^)
Sounds ominous.
Of course, earthquake season runs January-December.
Maudeen (as per the weird maths): I call it downright evil.
Wow, a double reference!
Reminds me of something I was thinking about and reviewing last night regarding liberty, and the instructions and date on the Liberty Bell:
Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof Lev. XXV. v X.
By Order of the ASSEMBLY of the Province of PENSYLVANIA for the State House in PhiladA
Pass and Stow
Philada
MDCCLIII
And well, 1753 to 2023 is 270 years, which is a long time for something to be put into storage...
Which had then reminded me that "270" is not written in the normal letter order in Hebrew, because it forms a word that has negative connotations. Indeed, because 270 (resh, 200 + ayin, 70) spells "evil" [רע].
Thus, it is written in reverse order, which is also a word(s) ער, which is to say, WAkey WAkey!
ער, Er: also the name of Judah's firstborn, but he was evil [רע] so he had to go.
Back to the crazy math problem, what to do with nine hundred and thirty-four, all names of numbers in written form:
9
100
30
4
The 9, 30, and 4 come under the umbrella of 100, so...
100
/ | \
9 30 4
Of course, while "woke"math word problems serve to confuse , they are typically just poorly (incompetently) worded and/or filled with corrupt topics "of conversation".
This particular one, however, was simply-worded but plainly unsolvable by normal means.
That's what attracted my attention to it, and Voila! Could be more than one option, but that'll work.
I suspect that in this case, the creator of that problem was having a little mischievous fun.
Liberty, in thinking...
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
(word plays: PhiladA is a "hay" field as written in the Hebrew translation, with the hay from above)
