x | y
\n" ); document.write( "1 | 5 <-- notice that 1+5=6
\n" ); document.write( "2 | 4 <-- notice that 2+4=6
\n" ); document.write( "3 | 3 <-- notice that 3+3=6
\n" ); document.write( "4 | 2 <-- notice that 4+2=6
\n" ); document.write( "5 | 1 <-- notice that 5+1=6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So what you were to notice was that in every case
