Economic crisis!
■ Due to the recent economic crisis, it has become
apparent that our current system of numbers is no
longer working.
■ To address this crisis, a new set of symbols has been
created to replace the current numbers 1 – 10.
■ It is imperative that we learn these new symbols as
quickly as possible.
■ Our world as we know it, depends on each of us to
do our best!

■ Which symbols do most people get right?
➢ 1 – due to repetition
➢ 10 – Its different and it represents the Roman numeral “10”

➢ 5 – Its different

➢ 7 – Its similar to the number 7

■ Most people look for a pattern and have difficulty

finding it in a short amount of time.
