While pledging a fraternity, I was tasked to report to the brothers how many bricks it took to complete a certain section of an old street in town. I will never forget the number I came up with, 32117. I counted three times, because it was very important to be precise. I got three different totals, so I averaged it, and prayed I was correct. When I reported at the next meeting, I was told that, "No, pledge, it took one brick to complete it."
