Reading stem and leaf plots

A zookeeper published the following stem-and-leaf plot showing the number of lizards at each major zoo in the country:
001020304050600006888002667801266000 \left| \quad \begin{matrix} 0 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 1 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 2 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 3 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 4 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 5 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 6 \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ \end{matrix} \quad \right| \quad \begin{matrix} \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 0&6&8&8&8& \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 0&2&6&6&7&8& \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ 1&2&6&6& \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ \vphantom{\Large{0}} \\ \end{matrix}
What was the smallest number of lizards at any one zoo?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 66
  • a simplified proper fraction, like 3/53/5
  • a simplified improper fraction, like 7/47/4
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/41\ 3/4
  • an exact decimal, like 0.750.75
  • a multiple of pi, like 12 pi12\ \text{pi} or 2/3 pi2/3\ \text{pi}
