The reading stopped at "... helve 's fractures." (285.22)

HCE and ALP's kid is (kids are?) still dealing with problems in Mathematics: geometry (triangles, circles, angles...), algebra, permutations and combinations, factorials all find their way into here. And of course, numbers in Finnish. We are also told what the answer to the first geometry question is. It is apparently found in the teacher's only (for teasers only) section of the text book. The only challenge is to make sense of the answer, and of course to decipher what the question is.

Stopped at the last line on page 283: "... smear it out poison long." (283.32)

Part of what we read today was about arithmetics - numbers (of course in different languages) and units of measurements. Geometry and algebra made their appearances too as nucleuds (Euclid) and alegobrew!
