The 3 Queens Discussion<\/u>
\nAt the beginning of Chapter IX It's unclear which of the Queens is talking. Why did Carroll do it ? I think it is done as long as they talk to Alice together, having the same opinion, only once they start discuss between them ("and the Red Queen remarked") there is a point in differentiating between them.<\/p>\n

Alice's Test Of Addition<\/u>
\nThe simple answer to the puzzle is 10, but I'm quite sure Carroll had more in his mind: I think that the hint is to the different counting basses. We usually count with the decimal basis but Mathematicians like most the Binary basis with only two numbers: Zero and One.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 10 (Binary) is 2 (Decimal) so the answer "Ten" is a hint to "Two".<\/li>\n
  2. 10 (Decimal) is 1010 (Binary)- Two times 10.<\/li>\n
  3. Another answer to the puzzle is "Ten times One". Is there a way to convert between the basses ? the standard formula offers 210<\/sup> – 1 or 1023.<\/li>\n
  4. 1023 (Dec) is 1111111111 (Bin): Ten Times 1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n8 – 9 is, of course, above the Mathematical knowledge of 7 years old child. But, we can use the Looking Glass:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. By switching right and left, we come to 9 – 8 that Alice can do.<\/li>\n
    2. If we turn the digits upside down, we come to 8 – 6.<\/li>\n
    3. The difference between the two results above is 1 again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
