Infosphere:Spotlight article for week 20 of 2012



Number 1.0 is the head bureaucrat at the Central Bureaucracy, and is always seen flying around on a plane/desk. In the year 3000, he ordered Hermes Conrad to finish sorting the master "in" pile by 1:00 P.M. Hermes finished with two seconds to spare but Number 1.0 demoted him by two ranks because a good bureaucrat never finishes early, only to promote him by one rank a few minutes later after Hermes pointed out a fellow bureaucrat had stamped a document four times when it needed to be stamped at least five times.
