A mathematical interlude in three parts
i - LUCKY FOR SOME
Seventy-seven
divided by eleven:
forty-nine's square root.
ii - A PRIME NUMBER EQUAL TO THE SUM OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE, SMALLER PRIMES
Take a dozen, a trio and quintet;
multiply them to see what you get.
Then add on a seven,
divide by eleven:
a sum of four primes! Got it yet?
iii - VIVIDLY NUMERICAL
Take the numerals V, I and V;
add them up and then take away three.
Next, this number gets squared,
and then quartered (or shared);
the result's twice (two cubed) QED!
