After finishing a very boring book, Alexis noticed that the page numbers contained exactly 29 zeros and exactly 137 ones. The book started with page 1. How many pages were in the book?

"After finishing a very boring book,.."
If it was a very boring book, then why finish it?
Maybe, he could try it as a 'Book_on_Tape"!

Just count it.
Page 1 Score 0-0, 1-1
Page 10 Score 0-1, 1-2
Page 11 Score 0-1, 1-4
Page 12 Score 0-1, 1-5
I'm bored already.

It's your problem. You do it. Don't be lazy.

If it's recorded in digital, it will have many, many more zeros and ones.
