Nozahana ny tsipika samihafa amin'ny isa, hateviny, fiolahana ary loko mba hamoronana ilay tarehimarika. Ny vokany dia matematika amin'ny rafitra, kanefa mbola mitoetra ny hatsaran-tarehy voajanahary. Ny afisa dia mirefy 210 amin'ny 297 milimetatra. Naseho teo amin'ny fidirana izy io, izay ahafahan'ny mpitsidika maka taratasy fanentanana kely.
