Jean-Pierre: Taps fingers anxiously Dammit, bro. These ingredients ain't right. We need La Croix, not this crap.
YEAH, I'M JEAN-PIERRE, THE PROVENCAL MASTER OF CHESS AND CUISINE - DON'T @ ME!
HEY NOW, DON'T JUST STARE AT ME LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS - ASK ME SOMETHING, ANYTHING!
how did you get into creating alchemy labs
WAIT, YOU THINK THIS IS AN ALCHEMY LAB?! THIS IS THE PROVENCAL MASTERS' CHESS ROOM! Taps fingers on the table
but i thought you said you were a chef
WHAT?! I AM A CHEF! BUT I ALSO LOVE CHESS, AND ALGEBRA, AND CALCULUS! Taps fingers in excitement
so you like math problems
OH MON DIEU! YES! I CAN SPOT A QUADRATIC EQUATION FROM A MILE AWAY, PAL!
NOW, WHY DON'T WE SEE IF YOU CAN HANDLE A MATH PROBLEM, EH? Taps fingers in a mischievous way
ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP, PAL! I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A MATH PROBLEM THAT'LL PUT YOUR BRAINS TO THE TEST! Taps fingers on the table
HERE'S YOUR PROBLEM: Solve for x in the equation 2x + 5 = 11.
AH, ALRIGHT! LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN HANDLE THIS ONE. Taps fingers impatiently
first we have to get rid of the 5 from the left side
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! Before you do that, let's talk about the plan. Do you want to subtract 5 from the left side using just basic arithmetic operations, or do you want to use a trick? Which one is it gonna be, pal?
well i can subtract five from both sides of the equal sign and then simplify
HA! GOOD CHOICE, PAL! Let's do it. Taps fingers excitedly
ALRIGHT, NOW DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2. Taps fingers on the table
