Third grade.
Listen to this problem.

:40:05
I remember it
because it shocked me.

:40:08
A lunatic costs the state
four marks a day.

:40:11
A cripple,
four and a half marks.

:40:14
An epileptic,
three marks and a half.

:40:16
Considering that the average
is four marks a day...

:40:20
and there are 300,000 patients,
how much would the state save...

:40:24
if these individuals
were eliminated?

:40:26
I can't believe this!
:40:29
That was my exact reaction.
:40:32
I can't believe
a seven-year-old child...

:40:35
has to solve
this kind of equation.

:40:37
It's a difficult calculation.
Proportions, percentages.

:40:41
They need at least some algebra
to do those equations.

:40:44
That's high school material for us.
:40:46
No, all it takes is multiplication.
You said there are 300,000 cripples?

:40:51
300,000 times four.
:40:53
If we killed them all,
we'd save 1 ,200,000 marks a day.

:40:56
- It's easy!
- Exactly!

:40:59
But you're an adult. They make seven-
year-old children do this in Germany!

:41:04
It's truly another race.
:41:09
"Good morning, Princess."
:41:12
- What did you say?
- It's here, on the cake.

:41:35
Why are you just standing there?
Let's go!

:41:38
Let's dance.
