Ella couldn't believe Minnie had tagged her again. She was really quite good at this game, tagging people left and right. Ella walked over to safety and began thinking of a way to get an 8. Alright so 8 + what is going to get back to 8? Well 8+27 means 8+(2+7) which is 8+9 which is 17 and 1+7 equals 8! "October 27th will give me an 8." Ella smiled, happy to have figured it out. She decided to take a breather and watch the other students for a minute or so.
