[Three Cueballs standing at different points on the graph. The first two are shown directly above the line at the beginning and middle areas, and the third is shown below it near the end of the graph. All three are holding phones.]

[The first Cueball looks at his phone, which displays two notifications on an app]

Oh hey, two new messages!

[The next Cueball again looks at his phone, this time with 45 notifications on the app]

[The last Cueball’s phone app shows 10129 notifications]
