If we combine 500 letters, we can construct five new groups of 100 letters each: the first - from the first and sixth column, the second - from the second and the seventh, and so on.

The number of vowels in these new groups of 100, obviously, is made up from the following sums:

which consist of the corresponding five summands.

The results of our counts are entered in forty small tables, each containing the following: in the first row - five numbers (1,6) and their sum, in the second row - five numbers (2,7) and their sum, etc., in the last row - the number of vowels in the first hundred, second hundred, etc., and finally the number of vowels in all five hundreds; to save space, reduced by 200.




First, we shall look at the group of numbers:

1) мой дядя самых честных правил когда не в шутку занемог он уважат себя
заставил и лучше выдумат не мог его пример другим на(42 vowels)
2) ука но боже мой какая скука с болным сидет и ден и ноч не отходя ни шагу
проч какое низкое коварство полуживого забавлят ем (46 vowels)

We start a new table by counting how often each of the numbers occurs in this group.

In the first row are all the numbers that occur in the group, and in the second row beneath it, how often they appear.
