fishing data because the math was a little bit wrong and now it looks like we're killing way more fish and we decimated more fisheries so like what I think we need to do right now is is figure out how to make the the landing or the the hitting of the bottom as as light as possible so we don't go splat and have to rebuild civilization from

So obviously if you go up to 12 you can divide into 3 and 4 much easier than you can if you're decimal. I also went to Reno, Nevada to meet the man who sets the odds for most of the world's slot machines, 'cause most of the world's slot machines come from one company based in Reno and there's a chief mathematician there whose job it is to make sure that all the maths is correct. And so that's a great way of kind of bringing why maths is relevant
reading at a fundraiser a few days after I got back I was part of a large group reading it was to raise money for several of the decimated New York City firehouses back then there were many such fundraisers I don't mean to make Li to the whole thing the book takes it quite seriously but Monica Lewinsky was friends with one of the other writers and so she was there

If you see this when you're in Belize and in the Caribbean in general, you're quite lucky, because a lot of stocks have been decimated in the '90s, and now they're starting to come back as well. But Elkhorn is one of many species of coral that is quite important and worth thinking about conserving.
Okay, and now I'm going to define the number Z, and it's going to be... The integer part is going to be a zero, and then I'm going to put a decimal place, and then I'm going to start specifying the digits of this number Z. D1, D2, D3, and so on. And what I'm going to make sure is that the Nth digit after the decimal point of Z is different from the Nth digit of the Nth number on the list.
Okay? So, to specify the Nth digit of Z, I go to the Nth number on the list, R sub N, and I look at its Nth digit after the decimal point. And whatever that digit is, I make sure that my digit is different from it. Okay? And then I want to do something a little bit more, and that is I'm going to make it different in a way that I'm never using the
then 40 and then kids and then I start to, you know, change and maybe at some deeper level we are making a certain set blah blah 15 decimal places long. We can do the math. We then can measure the

But now it follows that Z is not on the list because Z is different from R1 because, well, the first digit after the decimal point of Z is different from the first digit of R1 after the decimal point. That's exactly how we built it. And the second digit of Z is different from the second digit of R2 and so on. The Nth digit of Z is different
And you can tell a decimal point from a scale, which is all very clever.
