text: > look at your surroundings
  You stand next to a poker table in the casino. The lights and noise here are just as overwhelming as in the rest of the casino. The gaming machine is to the south.
  
  A piece of paper is on the floor here. It must have fallen out of someone's pocket.
  
  On the poker table are a pile of money and an old coin.
  
  > get all
  piece of paper: (putting Introduction to the Analysis of the
  Infinite into the set to make room)
  Taken.
  pile of money: (putting the brochure into the set to make room)
  Taken.
  old coin: (putting Descartes's saying into the set to make room) Taken.
  
  > look at the paper
  On this paper several numbers have been written, in a triangular pattern:
  
  1   2   1
  1   3   3   1
  1   4   6   4   1
  1   5  10  10   5   1
  1   6  15  20  15   6   1
  1   7  21  35  35  21   7   1
  1   8  28  56  70  56  28   8   1
  1   9  36  84 126 126  84  36   9   1
  1  10  45 120 210     210 120  45  10   1
  
  The middle number in the last row has been smudged, and you cannot make it out. Underneath the numbers is written: "Note to self: Start counting with row 0 and column 0, not row 1 and column 1."
  
  > examine the money
  The huge pile of money represents your winnings from beating Pascal, Bayes, Kolmogorov, and Diaconis at poker. If this weren't a dream you would be rich.
  
  > go to the south
  As you start to leave, something catches your eye. You turn and see that the five-sided poker table is shaking. The poker table begins to transform, shrinking while maintaining its pentagonal top. Soon you are no longer looking at a poker table; you are looking at a dodecahedron.
  
  > get dodeca
  (putting the correspondence into the set to make room)
  You take the dodecahedron. Looking curiously at it, you note that it has twelve sides, each of which is in the shape of a regular pentagon. You feel you understand three-dimensional solid geometry a little better.

  > Go south
  A gaming machine is here.
  
  > go to the east
  There are currently four books on the bookcase:
  Diophantus's Arithmetica
  Ars Magna
  The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and
  Balancing
  Elements
  
  > put infinite in the shelf
  (first taking Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite)
  (putting the x-finder into the set to make room)
  You put Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite on the
  bookcase. As it slides into place you hear a faint click.
  Then you hear the same voice as before - the one that sounds like Professor Glasser.
  
  The voice says, "Much of the modern notation and many of the concepts for handling exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions ultimately derive from this comprehensive treatment of infinite series by Leonhard Euler."

  You make your way up.

  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  a dodecahedron
  an old coin
  a pile of money
  a piece of paper
  a set (no longer empty)
  an x-finder
  some correspondence
  Descartes's saying
  a brochure
  a comic strip
  Berkeley's lecture notes
  the trig homework
  an icosahedron
  a square root
  a cube
  some exhaustion sandals
  a tetrahedron
  an octahedron
  your math book
  
  > put the cube on the square
  (the square top pedestal)
  (first taking the cube)
  You put the cube on the square top pedestal.
  
  > put the tetra on large
  (first taking the tetrahedron)
  You put the tetrahedron on the large triangular top pedestal.
  
  > put the dodeca on the pentagon
  You put the dodecahedron on the pentagonal top pedestal.
  
  > put the octa on the medium
  (first taking the octahedron)
  You put the octahedron on the medium triangular top pedestal.
  
  > put the ico on small
  (first taking the icosahedron)
  You place the icosahedron on the small triangular top pedestal and step back. As you do so, the air grows still. Then a strong wind whips through the courtyard. The five Platonic solids rise from their pedestals, rotating slowly. Then they begin spinning in the air, forming a single ring that revolves around and above the circular pedestal in the center. They spin faster and faster - until you cannot distinguish them from each other. Then, with a final loud clap and a blinding flash of light, the ring of solids collapses in on itself! After your vision clears you look back at the pedestals to see a sphere resting on the circular one in the center.

  > examine the sphere
  This beautiful translucent sphere seems to sparkle as you gaze at it.
  
  > go east
  You wander around the home for a while, but you find nothing of interest. Eventually you return to the courtyard.

  On the long table is a pile of old coins.
  
  The Count is here, looking rather bored.
  
  > give the money to count
  The Count eyes the money. Then he shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, but I'm really tired of counting money." He indicates the pile of coins. "Thank you anyway. Something different would be nice."
  
  > give the correspondence to Count
  (first taking the correspondence)
  The Count doesn't seem interested.
  
  > Go east
  The Count calls after you, "If you find something else for me to count I would be grateful!"
  
  As you move east, you feel an electrical impulse course through you. The space around you seems to fold in on itself.

  The huge globe lies on the floor.
  
  You can also see Archimedes's staff here.
