A love story involving maths! Odd and even numbers have never been funnier. When Kirby and Emma add to, subtract from, divide, and generally muddle their herds of cows. That is, until Emma devises a perfect-and romantic-solution. |
“"Count 1, 2, 3, 4 ... Keep the cattle in a line. Even numbers will be yours. All the odd ones will be mine. 4 apiece should work out fine."”
