library maths

According to the World Bank, the population of Earth at 13:36pm GMT March 9th 2009 is 6,692,030,277.

My library card number is 20109006909273. I presume this means I opened the 20109006909273rd account with the library.

If I subtract 1 from the population of the world to represent me, then divide my library card number, the number I get is truly staggering.

It appears that EVERY person in the world has, on average, 3004.9 accounts with the libraries of the borough in question.

That would explain why I always have to place a hold on the book I want.
