This piece is a metaphorical exploration of mathematics - an invented scenario to determine an absurd answer. In this situation, math and ideas of mass production, play, cooperation and experimentation form a bridge with which to consider the utilization of science to end war. Of course the question posed and the answer derived are clearly faulty, but the questions the piece raises point out the inconsistencies in the education of children and the utilization of science in a society that chooses more often than not to seek destruction over construction.
