"5050!"
The number recited sounded almost magical to the presiding teacher and it caused him to turn around to face the young student with almost a blocky countenance.
"Wha.. what did you say?" Looking at the innocent face, the man's lips twitched a bit as he sought to confirm that what he had heard was indeed correct.
The reason for this overt reaction was because this teacher indeed knew the correct answer was 5050.
It was something he was even quite proud to know because this was one of the questions he faced during his qualification for priesthood.
And he was the only one among his cohorts who had managed to figure this out within the time frame and thus successfully become a clergyman.
In fact, it was this prowess that landed him a job here.
