Prelude to Greatness, Part 2

(Heath and Cavan are playing with Mancala "marbles.")

Heath: "OK, Cav, let's count how many each of us has."

Cavan: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 40, 60, 80!"

Heath: "Um, Cav, we need to work on your counting a bit, pal. Watch . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . "

Cavan: "Stop! Don't count!"

Heath: "I'm just trying to help you count, buddy."

Cavan: "You count your way, I'll count my way!"


He's already recognized how arbitrary our numerical system is! Genius!
