	If the 7 squares are taken as episodic separators, then please
note that none exist between the end of the episode on pg 177 and the
giant 2 on pg 179.  Keeping this in mind, and examining the start of
the section, determined by the giant 1, and the first set of 7 squares,
it would seem that Wernker von Braun's quote is the beginning episode,
with 'Zero' right on the page.   This creates a count of 22.
