Efforts to Connection
In a bustling modern city, there lived a curious young girl named Quinn. Quinn was an extremely academically intelligent student. Unfortunately, the rest of the Wells family only considered the physically talented children skilled. No one was surprised when Quinn was often seen alone while the rest of her family were out, enjoying the weather. Quinn nearly always spent quality time in her room, filled with packed bookshelves, piles of scrap paper, and hand-crafted devices from common junk. The Wells were so athletic and well-trained that reporters and famous people were in their house all day, making Quinn stay shut...

Binary
Binary is a device-used format where there are only the numbers 0 and 1. Binary Numbers Binary numbers are a format of numbers used by computers and other tracking devices. They use these “numbers” and identify them. Binary numbers only contain 0 and 1, but nothing else. We see that 0 is literally 0, and 1 is also 1. However, binary doesn’t have “2”, and 1 is the biggest among 0 and 1, so we need to find the smallest number from combinations of 0 and 1 that is greater than “1”. We see that 2 is 10 in binary,...

Village Egalliv
Once upon a time, there was a competitive village full of materials hard-worked for. The government at that time, Government Melissa, believed that people should only operate what they worked hard for, and nothing would be distributed evenly. So all the farmers worked for food, the blacksmiths worked for tools, the miners worked for gold, and so on. Everybody was competing and none of them wasted the slightest bit of time, since they needed as many materials as they could get. Later in that time, Government Melissa aged.
