Hi Friends,

Just put 6 and 6 together,
12 you'd say... quite terse.
but it just could be 18

A Mathematical Problem in Verse - Benjamin Banneker
---------------------------------------
The asterisk on the last line and the referred footnote
give you the answer. (Just warned you in case you'd
like to take a shot at solving it yourself)
