curious incident of the dog in the night time

Ahh will someone tell me what is up with the numbers? Because they aren't page numbers, or paragraph numbers, or all even numbers, or all odd numbers, or Fibonacci numbers, and they follow no pattern that I can discern.

Or if it would be a spoiler to know the meaning behind the numbers now, do we find out near the beginnging? Near the end? Never?

Because right now it is driving me ti distraction and i am just on the edge of scratching my skin off and it just uggggh. It makes me upset and I need to know before I get much further ._.

ETA: found it on page 11 *breathes more easily*

My comment before I saw your ETA was going to be "look at page 11." :) I'm autistic and so I SQUEALED at the numbers because it made perfect sense to me and it took me a little while to realize other people didn't immediately understand. Um. *awkward*

Heeee. See, once it was pointed out that it was prime numbers, it immediately made sense! But until that point, and after figuring out that it followed none of the other patterns that seemed logical to me, I was completely discouraged. (I actually suspected it of having the chapters out of order, and I felt preemptively frustrated at not having the "missing" chapters show up quickly enough) The presence of the 2 and the skipping of 15 should have been a dead giveaway, but...
