I understand. Thirty two aircraft is a lot of aircraft to try to count
by hand. Even if you used your feet, you still come up short by 12 digits. I can count to more than a thousand on my fingers. Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

I can count to more than a thousand on my fingers. *NEAT* trick. Most people run out of _fingers_ at a binary count of 256. Are you related to Hemingway's cats? grin |

Me too. For those who are curious, here is how, with my rough approximation of a pair of hands in ASCII art: [dot is finger down, stick is finger up] .... .... ..OOOO OOOO. 0 .... .... ..OOOO OOOO/ 1 .... ...| ..OOOO OOOO. 2 .... ...| ..OOOO OOOO/ 3 .... ..|. ..OOOO OOOO. 4 .... ..|. ..OOOO OOOO/ 5 .... ..|| ..OOOO OOOO. 6 .... ..|| ..OOOO OOOO/ 7 .... .|.. ..OOOO OOOO. 8 .... .|.. ..OOOO OOOO/ 9 .... .|.| ..OOOO OOOO. 10 .... .|.| ..OOOO OOOO/ 11 .... .||. ..OOOO OOOO. 12 .... .||. ..OOOO OOOO/ 13 .... .||| ..OOOO OOOO. 14 .... .||| ..OOOO OOOO/ 15 ....etc... |||| |||| \OOOO OOOO/ 1023 It is a binary encoding. I use this to teach CS undergrads how to count in binary -- they quickly become amused by the numbers 4, 128 and 132.

I can just see the delivery room scene: Doctor: "Congratulations, your baby has eight fingers!" Mother: "Oh my god! The ultrasound showed a perfectly normal fetus!" Doctor: "...and two thumbs." Mother: "(*&^#$^* Okay, Dr. Idiot...why don't you just come a little closer here..." |
