After þþ comes 111.

0.01 is still 0.01, and so on. We still need zero.

What, then, is 1.01? (think of 101/100 to get the correct answer)

You don't start counting at zero because zero represents nothing. You start from nothing, and the first thing you count is 1, then if you have another thing, you have 2 etc. Zero is more than just a number. It's a state of mind. ;)

Start from nothing to move on to something.

Very zen.

HLJ, it looks like all you're really doing is trying to count in base 11. Just replace þ with A.

I'm not changing bases, just representation of digits. If I was using base 11, than 11 would be 12 and we'd still have a 10. Wouldn't we?

nerds!

...UH.....

you bastard! I lost my 10th digit on 9/11 at the WTC

:cry:

honestly HLJ I think you need a hobby

Bullshit. You've gone to positively pathological lengths to get rid of zero on the left side of the decimal. Let's see some consistency.

You just said .01 is .01, so 1 plus .01 is 1.01. (Unless you're going to define the addition operation differently than usual.)

First you try to get rid of Mondays, now you're booting the zero. What next, no oxygen? ;)

Well, the symbol is O, which look suspiciously like 0 . . . .

:eek: Good point.

:unsure:

1.01 is 101/100. 101 becomes þ1, so 1.01 becomes 0.þ1

2.01 becomes 1.þ1, just as 201 becomes 1þ1

I'm not trying to get rid of zeros, they just drop out. I love zeros. But we could get rid of leading zeros by using exponential notation, if you like.



Maybe implementing new decimal will be my hobby. This and the prime number thing. And getting rid of Mondays. And trying to make sense of tw.

Are any of these things possible? Probably not.

So what is .101 then? :confused:
