And the poem week continues...

Again, pay attention to the teacher:

"Some people feel there is only one way to format these poems."

Well, we will see.

First, we extract the numbers from the text

1

12

100

1728

1000

1000000000

1000000000000000

 

If you wonder:

A "great gross" is 1728 (12*12*12)

A pointing is worth a thousand words.

Hmmm, what can we do with this ? Maybe we can play around with the format a bit ? Like - center it or so ? 

 

 

(For the slow people: Solution is "candle").

What ? Arbitrary, and it doesn't make much sense ? Don't let teacher hear that, or you'll get one of her rants...
