chicken in town the elitor had it, That's
an awful mistakc.)

no some nocturnal visitor. Almost every night
h. q "rumpus" took place among the chickens
v. and mex. morning some OF them wGa,a @
"come up missing" AS our frieni Gam
Nabry would say, 1--WE sarched deeegently'

be divisible by o; so also will the sum OF III
ree figures added horizontally be divisible by o.
in From thi, We readily see that the figure can
,ed celled ior stricken out) will be that require
I'D to mako an oven Q, whom or o is stricken

Now, II from any number you subra'

same accuracy as that above.
