When setting the type for a book, a publisher wanted to use a particular font to number the book's pages. They found that they needed 2775 digit characters for the whole book.

How many pages does the book contain?

When asked how many pages are in a book, I look at the highest numbered page, instead of counting page by page every printed or blank leaf in the volume..
