Pure Number
Yesterday’s date, 1/26/15 can be arranged into the following equations.
12 – 6 = 1 + 5 |1 - 2 | = (6 * 1) - 5
Create an equation using today’s date, 1/27/15.
127 = 15 12 – 7 = 1 * 5
1*2 = (7 * 1) - 5
FAITH
Martin Luther King, Jr.
With the faith that they can learn it, and that we can teach it to them.
