Surely even a professor from Hypharus could find no more, and no less than four?" Very deliberately, and with unruffled equanimity, the other took the pebbles in his hand, turned them over and over, and finally placed them in a row on the edge of the balustrade near which he stood.
"Not even that!"...replied the other with perfect gravity "Inasmuch as in the kingdom of Hypharus, whose borders touch ours, the inhabitants, also highly civilized, do count their quantities by a totally different method; and to them two and two are NOT four, the numbers two and four not being included in their system of figures.
Thus, a Professor from the Colleges of Hypharus could obstinately deny what to us seems the plainest fact known to common-sense, yet, were I to argue against him I should never persuade him out of his theory, nor could he move me one jot from mine. And viewed from our differing standpoints, therefore, the first simple multiplication of numbers could never be proved correct beyond all question!"
