T-Rex: Numbers are a great way to keep track of things! You can have just a lonely thing, a pair of things, a triptych of things, a pair of pairs, and INFINITELY MORE!
Narrator: LET'S TALK ABOUT NUMBERS
Narrator: without using numbers
T-Rex: Going higher, you'll find a pair of pairs plus just a lonely thing, a triptych of pairs, a triptych of pairs plus a lonely thing, and a pair of pairs of pairs of things.
Dromiceiomimus: The word "pair" has lost all meaning.
T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus! That's "semantic satiation" and that's an ENTIRELY different discussion!!
T-Rex: GOSH!
Utahraptor: What are we trying to prove here? That math is MEGA HARD when you can't use numbers?
T-Rex: Absolutely! The Romans failed to discover SEVERAL mathematical principles because their number system was so friggin' unwieldy. How we express numbers can be even more important than the invention of numbers themselves! ARE YOU LISTENING, FRANCE??
T-Rex: That's right! I'm looking at you, FRANCE, with your "we don't need 'ninety-seven' because WE'VE all agreed to call THAT number 'twenty times four plus ten plus seven!"
T-Rex: I'M CALLING YOU OUT, ENTIRE NATION OF FRENCH SPEAKERS
