The Accountant Trilogy 2

This is continued from “Accountant Trilogy 1”, the sequel that explains what happens after we entered the room of the Accountants.

Us, the Elegant Ladies of North Dakota, after stalking Mr. Chan, found that he was talking us to the room of the Accountants, a.k.a. Room 105. I, Daisy Elega, actually made that name, the room of the Accountants, because it sounds more sinister, more interesting, and therefore more elegant than Room 105. I thought of that name because we were going to be in a room, and there was to be an accountant accompanying us. Looking at this mathematically, it’s actually a really simple concept:

Room + Accountant = “Room of the Accountants”

Then after entering the room, we were shocked to find that the setting was rather like a classroom. There were desks spread out evenly, so that we sat separated from all the other elegant “students”. All the desks were facing the front, were there was a chalkboard, and to the right lay the Mr. Chan’s desk, a desk that had a laptop on it, opened up and on.
It was an ordinary classroom, just like any other, but what shocked and really frightened us elegants of the Elegant Ladies of North Dakota was that there were face down sheets of paper on each desk, and beside the sheets, lay pencils and erasers. The environment in the room was very tense, and it felt as if at any moment, someone was going to scream “Test!!” and bolt out the of the room, with many others following along. Luckily, we managed to keep our elegant composures, and we calmly, well as calmly as we could, distributed ourselves and sat down, filling pretty much all of the seats.

It was a long five minutes, a long period of silence, while we were waiting for Mr. Chan to say “You may now start” along with trying to remember everything we learned in school about math. And then it came.

“Good afternoon, Elegant Ladies of North Dakota. I have brought you to room 105 to do a test, to see what type of accountants you need for your personal lives. You have one hour to complete this test and all the instructions are on it. Please use the scrap paper included to do all your scrap work…And now you may start! Good luck y’all.”

The hardest question in the multiple choice question was probably:
If 5 – 2 = 4, then 10 – 8 =?
The answer was 2, d), and I got that right!
For the word problems, they were all really hard, and I am proud that I managed to get two questions right. Ironically, the last question of the test, question 20, was
What symbol is represented by this approximate value: 3.1415926535897932384…
It was mockery, and it made me feel stupid! So I wrote down the only thing I knew about that number, that I was sure would give the accountant a chuckle.
