A transcript of the card's text is as follows:

Violet and I often have a quiet drink after work in our favourite bar on the Mobius Strip. It's not unusual for some bloke to try to chat her up and she usually brushes them off with a cutting one-liner. One night, a particularly persistent guy just wouldn't give up asking for her phone number, insisting that he recognized her from somewhere.

Eventually, she arched one eyebrow and said:

"My phone number has 11 digits and they sum to 44. Vowels in syzygy, corners in a cube, deadly sins, null in German, love in tennis, strings on a violin, degrees of separation, atomic number of lithium, horsemen of the apocalypse, colours of the rainbow, dots in a quincunx."

He asked her to repeat the problem but, smiling, she refused.
