NUMEROIDS: ANY NUMBER OF THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW…AND SOME YOU DID
Book ID/图书代码： 02890010B37454
English Summary/英文概要： This world is governed by numbers. They have become a common language.
Numeroids is a collection of over 1,300 numerical nuggets of the most astonishing, bizarre and often quirkiest numbers randomly selected from the world of art & literature, sport, space, science, folklor & mythology, nature, geography, medicine, the military and beyond.
For instance Numeroids will let you know how many
- Dollars it would not be worth Bill Gates spending time to bend down and pick up (a lot - not surprisingly)
- Millimetres that make up the ozone layer (yes - it’s only millimetres thick)
- Teeth on a tortoise (not a lot)
- UK women who are genuine blondes (rather than just looking blonde)
- Deadly sins (but can you name them? We do)
- Pounds per square inch at which champagne is bottled (a lot of pressure)
- Spam emails a spammer must send to get a response(hardly seems worth it)
- Miles of arteries and veins in the human body (quite a few thousand)
- Bottles Napoleon’s army took to Russia (a staggering number)
- Chopsticks the Japanese use a year (many billion)
Warning - Numeroids are catching. Once you know them, it’s almost impossible not to pass them on.

—每平方英尺所放的瓶装香槟有多少磅（非常有趣）

—拿破仑的军队带了多少瓶子去俄国（数量惊人）
