"The reason for the number of facts being 1,227, according to Lloyd and Mitchinson, was that they had originally planned to have 1,000 facts and when they wrote down the list containing all the facts that would go in the book, they discovered that they had gone past the number, to 1,227."

So the reason for the number of facts being 1,227 is that there are 1,227 of them? That's not very helpful, is it? -- Walnuts go kapow ( talk) 23:04, 13 June 2018 (UTC) reply
