Adam Spencer's Book of Numbers: A Bizarre and Hilarious Journey from 1 to 100 Paperback - 2004
by Adam Spencer
How many people do you need in a room before there'll be a birthday in common? Why is 70 weird, and what can be done about it? After reading "Adam Spencer's Book of Numbers," readers will never look at numbers the same way again.
First line
It's not strictly correct to say that 1 is the 'fist number', because there are negative numbers and 0 and other numbers that are 'less than' 1.

Description:
Basic Books, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. 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.
