RIDDLE 4
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out!

To expand on Ender's statement.

As I understand it, bread was sold in total weight.  Say you bought one pound of bread, in a dozen small loaves.  Since scales may not have necessarily been available, and the penalty for "cheating" the buyer could mean the loss of life, bakers tended to throw in an extra piece, hence "baker's dozen"

(the explanation may not be accurate in the quasi-historical references, but it's the gist of how the term "bakers dozen" came about)
