In Huapai once lived a famous baker. The baker called was Thomas Bakewell. He was famous in the area for baking great pies for the local settlers.

He was an amateur Mathematician and could often be found lurking the district trying to prove his crazy theories. He was known to make outrageous claims at the local Tavern, one day he said he had invented the decimal point. His biggest hero was Archimedes, he often commented about his work to customers in his shop.

He was also be fond of saying "Less is more" and some customer's thought this meant he pies would now have less filling in them. But no it was just one of Thomas's wild ideas.

Hmmm what could it all mean???
