30 would probably be a good place to stop. Let me know when someone gets to that, err... waitaminnit...

Nobody's mentioned octal yet-- come on now! 36

Erm... what would the base be on that one? If that's supposed to be 31, I guess that 32 would be AF?

I'm confused now...

lol, yea, if you go through the alphabet and go through a-z, then when you start over on the alphabet and keep counting like 52 would be AAA

OK, you made a slight error if you wanted to count base 36.

20 it is.

I think everybody went a bit astray back with Alex's post, and perhaps it might have been a good place to stop after all. But dammit! I never give up!

The count was sidetracked when it got to 30, so this post makes it 31. Continuing with Octal that makes it:

37

But there have been several posts which never advanced the count, and this post really makes it only 32. My previous post stated 37, which is octal for decimal 31!

In binary, that makes the count now:

00100000
