an interview with . . . cassie
We at the Pin reminisce from time to time, sure. And, recently, we have been reminded of our heady days in primary school. We don’t know— Maybe it’s the speed dating night we attended, sitting cross-legged in the local cafetorium. Maybe it's because a few of us, a few, still attend third grade . . . No, they don’t have to attend third grade. It’s not like they didn’t graduate or anything. Come on. At any rate, for An Interview With . . . this week, we decided to ring up our old scientific calculator, Cassie.

That wasn’t a shoebox. And we haven’t forgotten about you Cassie. We think about you from time to time, fondly. Remember why you were in the box, though, Cassie.

Well that could be quite a breakthrough, a reliable formula to predict prime numbers. Say, do you remember that time when we were trying to solve that rectangular matrix thing when old Alvin Prytop got out of the room set aside for those certain students. And he began to glug that pot of formaldehyde from the animal husbandry department? And you were trampled on during the kerfuffle?

Good times. Good times. We haven’t really kept in touch like we should have, you know. Our best guess would be that Alvin and all the other tots still haven’t come back into existence yet. But who are we to judge others’ lifestyles? Who are we? Judge. We . . . Say, Cassie, do you remember too that after that you always had a little trouble with a couple of problems. Hey, maybe we could see if you could get it right now? Let’s see, what would you say is the square root of four?

Right, so you’ve found the square root of four. Now, subtract two from that four. And read back your solution for us, please? So our readers can hear your response too.

Cassie? You trailed off a bit there at the end. We know you still have quite a lot of decimal numbers to go. Wait, didn’t you say earlier that you could only use fractions and not decimals? Cassie? . . . Cassie?
