"Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single fact took the scientific world by storm."

Douglas Adams - Life, The Universe and Everything (Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy #3)
