In Uruguay the horse is very common. Do to the ranch style life they live they ride horses every day. Most of Uruguay is plains and hills and only the coast is heavily populated. Uruguayans out in the country sometime use horses for transportation. Almost every person living Uruguay owns at least one horse. Often people will tie them up on the side of the road and have them graze there. Often when you drive down a dirt road you see a brown fence with some horses tied up to the fence posts.

In Uruguay it is very common for people to take a two hour nap around 3-5. They do that because Uruguayans stay up till 3 in the morning partying. The concept of an afternoon siesta is common some South American countries and a little in Europe. Uruguayans tend to have lunch at 2 to 4 and then after their two hour long siesta tea at 7 to 8. The Uruguayan culture is very different than ours and that changes their schedule a lot because they party all of the time. All the stores are closed from 1 to 4 so the owners can have lunch and nap.

 Remember those factor trees that you spent so much time making in middle or lower school. who would've thought they'd ever be useul? Well useful in a mathematical sense anyway. I started with the idea that you could just factor prime numbers into forever by continuisly factoring out the number and one. In doing so you could create an infinite line coming from a point or as we like to call them, rays. my project hinges on ideas of composite and prime, prime numbers take the form of rays and the composite lines make finite line segements.
