Note

Countable: «a log». «Log in» (two words as a verb), «login» (one word as a noun). Maths: pieces = cuts + 1 when cutting a log. Trap: «cut into 4 pieces» needs only 3 cuts, so time = 3 × time per cut. Safety: never share your login password.

In Jewish tradition

Interpretation. The oil is part of the ritual that brings a healed person back into the community. Tradition holds that a log is the volume of about six eggs.
