Illusion
Bridgeboy
Gerald let a whispered curse word escape from his lips once again as he saw his answer was wrong He gave a small sigh, rubbing his forehead before returning his attention to the page in front of him, lit by the flickering candle rested next to it. Maths. Gerald had always been fairly good at maths, but this...? He regarded the paper with a look of frustration. This wasn't maths. This was Satan's creation, a jumble of numbers with a few letters thrown in that didn't make any sense whatsoever.
Puck yawned from her nest on Gerald's head, rolling slightly to get comfortable. Gerald glared at the sheet of paper, determined to unlock it's secrets. He studied each equation closely, narrowing his eyes in concentration. He wrote every number and extract of working out with the utmost delicacy. He squinted, leaning closer, making sure that each number was the number he thought it was, in case he read any wrong.
And, as a result of his efforts, got every problem wrong.
A loud groan echoed across the library as Gerald buried his face in his hands.
