Math is hard. Let's go gambling!

What's the bad news from the East Coast there, Ohio's Greatest Home Newspaper?*

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City started the year with 12 casinos. By Labor Day, it could be down to nine.

Nine minus twelve, carry the two, look at the tens place -- do you suppose there's a hint in the fourth graf?

... Mayor Don Guardian, who could see a quarter of his city’s casinos close during his first year in office, said Atlantic City is in the midst of a difficult but necessary makeover from being a gambling resort to a multifaceted destination where betting is only part of the allure.

Let's stay away from those friendly games of chance until we get this worked out, all right?
