Imagine, If you can, how many per-
sons were needed since the beginning
of the world to bring you forth-you,
who are reading this now. 1t works
the other way, too. If single cou-

grown to maturity and married at the

be 2,19o,915, followed by IA ciphers.
However, this world would not hold
them all; it would not be large enough
To give all these people breathing
