There's More Than One Way To Skin a Cat
(there are many ways to achieve a goal)
Meinhard, what answer did you get for that equation?
I came out with forty-five.
So did I! Could I see how you arrived at your answer?
Sure. Be my guest.
Let's take a look. I used different calculations in step two and three.
It doesn't matter. We both got the same answer, didn't we?
We sure did!
See. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
That's what counts. It just goes to show you that the same goal can be achieved in more than one way. Math certainly is no exception.
That's what counts = That's what matters （大事なのはそこだよね）
