Line 25:
* In ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]]'', the main character visits Digitopolis, the land of numbers, and tries to find a way to Infinity. After giving up, he encounters half a boy, cut right down the middle (the other half just ''not there''). Turns out he's the .58 child in 2.58 children for the average family—luckily the average went up a bit, because it was painful being only .47. Fortunately, the average family also has 1.3 automobiles, and since he's the only one who can drive three-tenths of a car, he gets to use it all the time.
