Thereis now a single wall divided into nine squares orcompartments; these we shall name places, andsay, the first place, second place, third place,etc. etc. The same mode must be pursued with thethree remaining walls in this room; by thesemeans, for walls are obtained—each beingdivided into nine places. In order to find thenumber 36 in this room, we should naturally sayfour times nine will be 36, and should, of course,conclude that 36 would be in the last place ofthe last side or fourth wall of the room: but thiscalculation is erroneous; 6 must ever be in thesame situation, which will be that occupied bythe point in the following figure : The place occupied by the number 6, in all thefour walls, would be thus designated: 26 lti 36 / 4 6 : 3 \ , I , 1 , » r e » t L (,? 6 1, /f ? • brrhhr.
