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

hey check it out lets make our own crazy ass code for numbers for example:
AE.....is that right?

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

I wasn't counting so far since I was in school :D And I think 38 is in decimal base...

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

OK, I give up. Running out of fingers and toes.
Only number I still know is: MANY ;)

If people had kept up with the counting like we were asked to (:p), we'd be at 00100100 by now. Get with it, people!

im thoroughly confused.......would you mind translating your octal smoctal code for me? Just to see where you, the omniscient cookie monster, say we are, seriously, im not trying to be an ass.

They're not codes, simply different counting and numbering systems.
Binary = base 2
Octal = base 8
Decimal = base 10
Hexadecimal = base 16
You should already be familiar with decimal numbering, see here for an explanation of binary and hexadecimal:

In decimal numbers, the count is still up to 32, because I've not added to it with this post!

What would be even cooler-- write your first name or your initials in ASCII binary codes. That'll really throw 'em for a loop!

44? That's wrong though ;) If we count Sphyenx as being 42, then I am 45 :)

the universal answer is 42, who needs to count to 46 or worse 47?
