Third grade.
Listen to this problem.

:40:04
I remember it
because it shocked me.

:40:07
A lunatic costs the state
four marks a day.

:40:10
A cripple,
four and a half marks.

:40:12
An epileptic,
three marks and a half.

:40:15
Considering that the average
is four marks a day...

:40:19
and there are 300,000 patients,
how much would the state save...

:40:22
if these individuals
were eliminated?

:40:25
I can't believe this!
:40:28
That was my exact reaction.
:40:31
I can't believe
a seven-year-old child...

:40:34
has to solve
this kind of equation.

:40:36
It's a difficult calculation.
Proportions, percentages.

:40:40
They need at least some algebra
to do those equations.

:40:42
That's high school material for us.
:40:44
No, all it takes is multiplication.
You said there are 300,000 cripples?

:40:50
300,000 times four.
:40:52
If we killed them all,
we'd save 1 ,200,000 marks a day.

:40:55
- It's easy!
- Exactly!

:40:58
But you're an adult. They make seven-
year-old children do this in Germany!

:41:02
It's truly another race.
:41:08
"Good morning, Princess."
:41:11
- What did you say?
- It's here, on the cake.

:41:34
Why are you just standing there?
Let's go!

:41:37
Let's dance.
