The Staff was really just a big stick…Anyway, it was capped by an elaborate headpiece with a carving of the sun at the top. What you had to do was take the Staff to a special map room in Tanis--it had the whole city laid out in miniature on the floor. When you placed the Staff in a certain spot in this room, at a certain time of day, the sun would shine through a hole here in the headpiece and then send a beam of light down here—to the map--giving you the location of the Well of the Souls...

Congrats!!!! Philosophy of Math...that sounds...exciting!
Nice job! You realize that the world of Philosophy is a massive pyramid scheme. Those who have a BA in Philosophy can't get a job unless they get a Masters or a PhD in Philosophy at which point the only thing they can do is teach philosophy. Oh, the wicked, wicked ways of this world...
I'm guessing the joy will never ever read this (nor will anyone else), but I'm feeling pedantic and commenty, so I just wanted to say:
My bachelor's degree is in math and political science (double major). I have a master's in mathematics. I am planning on a Ph.D in philosophy, and then teaching and doing research in philosophy. With a degree from Notre Dame, I'm not too worried about finding a job back in my beloved Pacific Northwest (I'm aiming for the University of Washington, to be specific).
I've known a few philosophy majors who went on to non-academic jobs. Like any Humanities major, non-academics are valued for skills like critical thinking and writing ability. Apparently law school is quite popular.
