111 has always been NZ's emergency number, because out rotary phone dials were always the opposite of what Britain had, with numbers and direction the other way. Not sure why that happened. So here, 1 was the furthest number to travel around the circumference of the dial.

Snowman
The lady reporting this heinous crime and the snowman do have something in common. Both her IQ and the snowman's temperature will not rise above zero.
