Thank you Steve,

Your wise words are much appreciated.
I do wonder how you can explain to a stupid man that he is too stupid to understand he is stupid!

The previous inhabitants were probably maths free.

Hi Graham,

Thank you for the visit and the interesting link.
Still not convinced they were maths free.. All ancient civilisations had some kind of maths.. Although some less useful than others... How did the Romans manage to multiply XXV111 by 1X......

... repetitive doors and lighting: nice ...

(I dunno; "arithmetic" was OK, but Boolean Algebra was an unfathomable conundrum.)

Thank you Wally,

It was nice inside too... There is also a famous statement:
"There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who do not!"

I think the best Boolean statement is very simple.. "This statement is false!"

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your visit here, and well thought out answer... So, if you consider the number of people inside, then subtract from it the exponent of (Pi x square root of -1), you would be most welcome to enter to make the numbers correct!

Best Wishes
Peter

PS sorry for late reply, I've been away...

Hi Peter,

A lovely picture. I think I might just qualify to enter! My granddaughter has been teaching me so much when we play school....which see loves, even though she has just come from school!! I think she likes to tell me off when I'm naughty!!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you Rosa,

I am very happy that you enjoyed the picture. Of course we know that children learn so much so quick when they are young, and it is so important to spend the time helping them. I am sure your granddaughter will be top of the class, and know so much more than the rest!

Best Wishes
Peter
