the Number. Devil. A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus ends in Burger, translated by Michael Henry Heim. On That's Not All the number Devil added. Picking up a walking stick with a silver knob and twirling in front of Roberts knows when you get to five million etcetera, you can go on indefinitely. There's an infinite number of numbers, Robert and quite know whether to believe him. How can you be so sure? He asked. Have you ever tried? I can't say I have the devil answered. It would take too long for one thing, and it makes no sense anyway. It would be a waste of time. Robert didn't see why either I can count the end, in which case there is no such thing as infinity or there is no end and I can't count to it wrong. The number devil shouted is mustache quivering, his eyes bulging and his face turning red with rage. What do you mean wrong? Robert asked You known income? Pope tell May. How many pieces of chewing gum do you think I've been shoe to this day? I have no idea. Guess billions, said Robert. If you take my friends Alan, Betsy and Charlie and the rest of the kids in the class and in the city and the country and the world. Trillions at Leashed said the number devil. Okay, now let's pretend that everyone's gone on a chewing spree on went down to the last piece of chewing gum. I pull another one out of my pocket, the last one that I've saved for myself on what have we got? All those trillions of chewed pieces of chewing gum plus one. Do you see what I mean? I don't really need to count them. All I need is a recipe to take care of anything that comes along and that I have. After thinking over all the number Devil had said, Robert was forced to admit that he had a point. By the way, the reverse is true as well. The number devil added the reverse. What do you mean? Semple said the number devil with a grin. Just as there are infinitely large numbers, there are infinitely small numbers and an infinite number of infinitely small numbers. And so saying he twirled his walking stick like a propeller in Robert's face. I'm starting to feel dizzy, thought Robert. It was the same feeling he'd had on the slide stop, he shouted. Why so jittery? Robert asked the number. Devil. It's perfectly harmless. Look, I'll just pull another piece of chewing gum out of my pocket. And he did. Only it was as long as a ruler, hard as a rock in a strange shade of purple. You call that chewing gum? Robert asked. The chewing gum of your dreams. The number double replied, and I'm going to share it with you. Watch carefully now. As long as it's whole, it's my chewing gum. One piece, one person.
