Here is the poem that's on the bulletin board. How do I solve it? I don't know where to being. It's not fun having a disability.

" -- The King's Dilemma --

King Llewellyn, from his palace
Sensed designs of jealous malice
From the neighboring lands of gloom.
Called to arms a host of gallant
Warriors, schemers, men of talent
Banded 'gainst the pending doom.

All those gathered, silent, solemn,
Then were ranked by row and column,
Equal numbers to each file.
Though the king tried rows of seven,
Then thirteen, and yes, eleven,
Five were extra, every trial.

Sighing deeply in frustration,
Tried one final combination,
Found success in rows of five.
Tell me, if it not encumber
Thee too much, to count the number
Of the men who did arrive.

All help appreciated!
