Noventa y dos millones trescientos setenta y seis mil cincuenta y uno… imagine trying to say that in Spanish when it’s not your first language. Then again, Watterson learned German… what’s Calvin’s number therein without having to utilize Google Translate?
Ok, let’s try a different number, try and guess this one. 01000111 01100101 01110100 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110011 01110100 (Get lost), Google is your friend.
I have a “magic trick” where I can have you write down your number, (even Calvin’s) and with a few short questions, can accurately guess your number. Works every time, and was great when I taught 6th grade Math.

Calvin knows numbers over 92 million, but can’t add 5 + 6? Something doesn’t add up.

Actually it was 92,376,053; but he decided to give the kid a break.

Sometimes, even a “yes” answer turns into an argument.

Dad was thinking of it, as soon as he heard it.
In the military in the 70s, I was actually given a psychic abilities test, I scored below random. You can imagine how much I do NOT gamble.

and on a somewhat related note, whenever the kids asked “Are we there yet??” …I’d always answer yes.
