Adam Spencer's Book of Numbers: A Bizarre and Hilarious Journey from 1 to 100
Autor Adam Spenceren Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2004
How
many
people
do
you
need
in
a
room
before
there'll
be
a
birthday
in
common?
Why
is
70
weird,
and
what
can
we
do
about
it?
How
can
56
people
eat
1
pizza?
In
100
bite-size
chapters
of
no
more
than
three
pages
each,
Adam
Spencer
gives
each
number,
1
to
100,
its
place
in
the
limelight.
For
example,
take
65.
It's
the
constant
of
a
5
x
5
"magic
square"
--
a
square
that
contains
the
numbers
1
to
25,
where
all
the
rows
and
columns
and
each
diagonal
add
up
to
65.
Elizabeth
Taylor
had
65
costume
changes
in
Cleopatra.
And
sharks
can
travel
up
to
65
kilometers
per
hour
(about
40
mph).
After
reading
Adam
Spencer's
Book
of
Numbers,
readers
will
never
look
at
numbers
the
same
way
again.
