Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 10, 1990
February 09, 1990
February 11, 1990
Transcript:
Calvin: The inside of my head was exploding with fireworks. Fortunately, my last thought turned out the lights when it left. When I came to, the pieces all fit together. Jack and Joe's lives were defined by integers. Obviously, they were part of a "numbers" racket! Back in the office, I pulled the files on all the numbers big enough to keep Susie quiet and want me out of the picture. The answer hit me like a .44 slug. It had to be the number they called "Mr. Billion." Calvin: Case closed! Miss Wormwood: Time's up. Bring your papers forward. Susie Derkins: What did you get, Calvin? I think the answer's 15.

The Norwegian translator messed up. He changed the initial 60 and 30 mph figures into km/h, but forgot it when he got to the conclusion, and left the 15 unchanged.

To be honest, an average first grader wouldn’t even know to put commas between the 0s. Calvin’s top of his class!
