Math Telepathy

This is a stunning magic performed by the computer.

Follow the instructions. In the process you will be requested to compute the difference of two natural numbers (although on second thought, the omission of the decimal point appears not at all important.) See that you do not make a silly mistake. The magic fails in the face of ill preparedness. (As is well known in the magic circles, if a spell may go wrong, it will.) So, if you wish, you can use a calculator to compute that difference. In any event, it may be a good idea to double check your result.
