- Grab the nearest book.

To determine which sentence is the fifth, we first need to know what is considered the first sentence. Would it be the first sentence that _starts_ on page 56, or would it be the one that starts at the bottom of 55 and carries over to 56?
Assuming the latter, the 5th sentence on pg 56 is: “Unlike other operating systems, Linux does not need to be installed on the same hard drive; pieces can be installed on different drives.”
