"Hopscotch to oblivion", Barcelona, Spain; an example of dark humor. A hopscotch court drawn such that the area where the final step would be is instead a sheer drop such as a building or cliff, such that any participant would fall to their death upon completion, is a motif occasionally seen in fiction, sometimes as a device for black comedy.
English has borrowed the term from tafl (pronounced; Old Norse for 'table') [4] [5], a generic term referring to board games.. Hnefatafl (roughly , [5] plausibly realised as [n̥ɛvatavl]), became the preferred term for the game in Scandinavia by the end of the Viking Age, to distinguish it from other board games, such as skáktafl (), kvatrutafl and halatafl (), as these became known.

The first player throws the rubble in the 1st box, without touching the corners and has to hop directly from the start line to Box 2 without touching the first box and has to hop from Box 2 to Box 8, not spending more than 10 seconds in each box and has to repeat the process in reverse, where he collects the rubble in the first box only with ...
Hopscotch hashing. Here, H is 4. Gray entries are occupied. In part (a), the item x is added with a hash value of 6. A linear probe finds that entry 13 is empty. Because 13 is more than 4 entries away from 6, the algorithm looks for an earlier entry to swap with 13. The first place to look in is H−1 = 3 entries before, at entry 10.
The vocals work in similar fashion with the featured numeral spoken, sung and shouted during the middle section and a return to the arranged counting at the end. The song employs complex rhythms, changing time signatures frequently between 4 4, 3 4 and 5 4 during the opening and closing segments, around a rhythmically straightforward 4
Skip counting is a mathematics technique taught as a kind of multiplication in reform mathematics textbooks such as TERC. In older textbooks, this technique is called counting by twos (threes, fours, etc.). In skip counting by twos, a person can count to 10 by only naming every other even number: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. [1]
The Trachtenberg system is a system of rapid mental calculation.The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly.
Squares are always congruent to 0, 1, 4, 5, 9, 16 modulo 20. The values repeat with each increase of a by 10. In this example, N is 17 mod 20, so subtracting 17 mod 20 (or adding 3), produces 3, 4, 7, 8, 12, and 19 modulo 20 for these values. It is apparent that only the 4 from this list can be a square.
