5s2d
Twenty shillings in a pound.
I have some. Please, can you count?
Multiply mine by the seven,
Add fifteen, subscribe eleven.
Divide by two and loan one pence
I shall have one pound, hence.
If you couldn’t count my money,
You must go! Just now! My honey…
Считалка: Деньги. (перевод)
Два рубля есть у меня,
Один рубль для тебя, -
Чтобы нам с тобой дружить…
Но сейчас, тебе – “голить”!
Example (Пояснение):
5s 2d х 7 = 36s 2d + 15s -11s = 40s 2d /2 = 20s 1d – 1d = 20s = ; 1
Indefinite: 12 18/11
Try once more to count my money.
But you shell be wrong! My honey…
I have some pounds: less, than a twelve;
I have also shillings, and some coins of the pence.
The number of pence are less than my pounds.
Replace now these numbers, I mean – by a round.
Subtract this new number from all of my money.
Reverse the result, add it to it. And it will be funny.
It will not depends on the number of coins.
I really suppose, that that counting – joys!
