Quadratic Equation
If Three’s a Crowd, Four’s a Party

Four is a pretty special number, if you stop to think about it. The smallest composite number, four has special meaning to many cultures. In Buddhism there are four Noble Truths. In Islam there are four sacred months. Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans and Japanese view the number four with superstition, while we spend our lives ruled by four elements - earth, water, fire and wind - and in the end many of us expect to be hauled away by four ‘horsemen’.

Learn From the Masters

Many of our favourite film moments involve the wizened old master and his eager young apprentice.
