Richie.
1:04:16
What is the common
denominator of six and five?

1:04:21
Thirty! No, twenty!
1:04:23
No, thirty!
1:04:26
Why did you write eleven?
1:04:28
I don't know.
1:04:29
I guess...
-You guessed?

1:04:32
Take a fresh sheet.
1:04:36
Ready?
1:04:39
'A' and 'B' are hired to cut wood...
1:04:43
...at fifty cents a cord.
1:04:47
Write it down.
1:04:51
'A' can cut a cord in six hours,...
1:04:54
...'B' in five hours.
1:04:56
Now think:...
1:04:59
...how long will it take them
both to cut a cord?

1:05:03
They could do it faster
with a power-saw.

1:05:06
A power-saw isn't the point.
1:05:08
This is a problem.
1:05:10
A simple problem designed
to develop you mind.

1:05:13
Understand?
1:05:15
Very well then.
1:05:17
Fifty cents...
1:05:19
...a cord...
-Don't you see?

1:05:20
The 50 cents doesn't
make any difference.

1:05:22
Leave the 50 cents cut,
and go on from there.

1:05:26
Don't get flustered.
1:05:29
Just use your reason calmly.
1:05:33
We'll have dinner after you've
mastered this problem.

1:05:41
Dinner's been waiting two hours.
-I'm sorry.

1:05:44
Richie ought to eat.
1:05:45
I'm hungry too.
1:05:48
Richie didn't even have lunch.
1:05:52
Look at him, he's falling asleep.
1:05:54
He's just a child.
-My profession is teaching.

1:05:58
I happen to know something about
children, they're born bone-lazy...
