There was that Escher guy, Sarah had once misread it as Fischer. It was sort of similar as one could split the E of Escher into the F and I of Fischer. Anyways, she had thought that maybe Alice was related to him.

Sarah had recently started to reach herself Latin, as it would help with understanding scientific words as well as spells. This was coming in handy now. well, tessella means the piece of clay or glass used in mosiacs, tessella itself means small square.

Math, or arithmatics, can be used to create music. Sound is a travelling wave, which oscillates through matter. An important term in music is called frequency; what is it measured in and what does it mean?"
Ohh.. Sarah remembered learning this from the physics... She raised her hands, "It is measured in Hertz, or its varience like megahertz. Hertz was a German. Frequency means the amount of times that went on in a time frame, for example if the frequency is 10 Hertz, then it means that the event repeats itself 10 times per second." Sarah loved physics and could talk about it for ever. She knew a bit of formulaes too.
