|
YOU: Is there anything I can help you with? |
|
Kilas: You look like a Stonehammer interested in the ways of education. |
Kilas: Do you think you can help me with a quick errand? |
|
YOU: I love to learn! |
|
Kilas: Thanks. |
Kilas: I lent my abacus to Crosh Dunehammer, the guardian of the dungeons. |
Kilas: However, I require it once again. |
Kilas: Just tell him about the abacus or tell him I sent you. |
Kilas: Return it to me and I'll reward you. |
Kilas: If you don't know what an abacus is or how it works, just ask me. |
Kilas: I'm not just an engineer, I'm an educator! |
|
YOU: about abacus |
|
Kilas: An abacus is a counting device made up of beads on wires. |
Kilas: You count by moving beads from left to right. |
Kilas: You count the first line by ones, then when you run out, you move them all back and move one bead on the second line. |
Kilas: So if you had four beads, to count five, you'd move the first four beads in the first line - 1,2,3,4 - then move them back to the left as zero and move one bead in the second line for five. |
Kilas: Number six would be moving another one in the first line because five plus one is six. |
Kilas: I hope that clears things up. |

Crosh Dunehammer |
|
YOU: Kilas sent me, you need to return his abacus. |
|
Crosh: Return the abacus, you say? |
Crosh: Well, alright, but I need to keep count. |
Crosh: Now listen up: Each line in the abacus has seven beads. |
Crosh: Every day I move a bead in the top line to the right. |
Crosh: When they're all to the right, I move them all back and move a bead in the second line, which also has seven beads. |
Crosh: Today, I moved back the second line and moved the first bead in the third line to the right. |
Crosh: I really can't count that myself! |
Crosh: Can you help me? |
Crosh: How many days have I been counting? |
|
YOU: 64 |
|
Crosh: Sixty-four? |
Crosh: Why, yes, that sounds right. |
Crosh: Thanks! |
Crosh: I count better putting notches on my axe, anyway. |
Crosh: You can take this abacus back now. |
