Tara's shift was nearing its end and she could not wait to get back to the maids' quarters. All day, all she could think about was that girl in the room. She was not sure how the woman heard her mumbling, but she clearly did. Tara had been taking online classes and was struggling with an overly complex math problem. She could always cheat by using the internet, but she did not want to shortchange herself in the long run. She had taken to repeating the equation repeatedly in hopes that maybe a solution would randomly pop into her head. She had been mumbling this equation all day and no one had been able to hear her.
However, that woman in the room heard her. She heard her and she gave her an answer. At 8pm Tara headed straight to her sleeping quarters and turned on her computer. She input 47, and cross checked the solution. It was correct.
