No, it could not.

"Mr. T," she looked up at him rather patiently, and her tones were low, enough to ensure that no one except him heard her. She did not, after all, want to disturb anyone else. "If you're Greek, and this is Greek to you, then that means you understand it well enough."

"However, I would say -" She took the sheet back from him, and placed it on the table. "- That that look on your face is enough to guarantee that, like me, you do not completely get this."

Picking up quill, she began to draw a table, like the one shown in the sheet of instructions. Then she reached for their very first graph paper, scanned it for the circle labelled 0° and began to count the number of squares inside it. That done, she wrote the total count down in the '0' row of the column titled "Graph Paper 1." There, that was actually a lot simpler than it sounded.

"See?" She showed the paper to Torin. "It's fairly simple - even more so, if you write down the numbers on a rough sheet, so that you don't forget your calculations. Especially if there are partial squares."

Because, yes, those were a bit tricky.

As if to prove her point, she began to count the number of squares - partial and complete, both - on the circle labelled 10° on the first graph paper they had worked on. Then she wrote down the average total in the '10' row of the column, for the said paper.

"Give it a try."

She handed him the graph paper, as well as the rough sheet - the one she had written the rough calculations and stuff in, before transferring the final total in the appropriate cell, on ze lab notebook. "You can check the average total inside the circle for the twenty degree tilt, for a start," she told him, as she placed the quill in her left hand, on the table.

Gold felt MUCH better, now. These steps were making a lot more sense, as she carried them out, and that was a relief.

Yep.

He shook his head at her. "No, it doesn't. 'cause that's an expression." So there. He was right, and she was wrong. Not that it really mattered, he just liked being right.

He watched her work and saw that she was counting the number of squares and writing them down. Sooo... he was pretty sure he could do that too. He knew how to count.

So he started counting the squares in that circle and then wrote it down. Hopefully he did it right.
