Which city is governed by the Mathemagician and contains a Numbers Mine?

• A. Digitopolis
• B. Dictionopolis
• C. The Doldrums
• D. The Tollbooth

Answer: (A)

In The Phantom Tollbooth, the city governed by the Mathemagician is Digitopolis, and it’s the place where numbers—and arithmetic—reign. The Numbers Mine sits there, symbolizing how digits and calculations are mined and worked with. So the description “governed by the Mathemagician and contains a Numbers Mine” points to Digitopolis. The other locations aren’t about numbers: Dictionopolis is the city of words, The Doldrums is a stagnant, unmotivated area, and The Tollbooth is Milo’s entry gate into the lands beyond.
