A leaf is torn from a paperback novel. The sum of the numbers on the remaining pages is 15,000. What are the page numbers on the torn leaf?

Assuming the first numbered page is 1, the removed leaf should be 25, 26.

Re: It can't be true ... can it?
I got a height of 1/6 and a width of 2/5.
1/6 * 2/5 * 1/2 = 1/30.
