Fun! But how to read the Y axis? Why does it start from 1 twice?

it's a logarithimic scale [0]

Those go 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, .. 1, 2, 4, ... 10, 20, 40...

I am guessing they printed "0.1" as ".1", and because it's a really bad scan the ".1" and "1" look identical.

I think it starts at .1 at the bottom, but the scan quality makes it difficult to discern the decimal.
