As the telephone/ascii queries have tapped a cache of teckie knowledge amongst verbivores, could someone please explain how to count in octal? Here is the puzzle: a two-handed alien counting with his fingers discovers that 15+5 = 22. How many fingers has the alien on each hand? Answer: 8 total, 4 on each hand. (15+5=22 in octal) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted octal screen 07/19/00 07:20 AM Re: octal tsuwm 07/19/00 02:49 PM Re: octal Jackie 07/19/00 04:41 PM Re: octal tsuwm 07/19/00 06:31 PM Re: octal Jackie 07/19/00 07:48 PM Re: headache AnnaStrophic 07/19/00 07:53 PM Re: 42 jmh 07/19/00 06:50 PM Re: 42 tsuwm 07/19/00 07:09 PM Re: 42 jmh 02/23/01 07:55 AM Re: 42 tsuwm 02/23/01 02:15 PM Re: 42 jmh 07/23/00 08:19 AM Re: octal Jazzoctopus 07/19/00 09:35 PM Re: octal jmh 07/19/00 10:22 PM Re: octal tsuwm 07/20/00 02:07 PM Re: octal jmh 07/23/00 08:12 AM Re: octal Jackie 07/24/00 02:08 AM Re: octal screen 07/24/00 04:32 AM Re: octal AnnaStrophic 07/24/00 05:50 PM Re: octal tsuwm 07/24/00 05:56 PM Re: octal Jackie 07/25/00 11:28 AM Re: octal screen 07/20/00 07:05 AM Re: octal tsuwm 07/20/00 02:15 PM Re: octal screen 07/20/00 02:42 PM Re: octal Jackie 07/21/00 01:17 AM Re: octal screen 07/21/00 02:17 AM Re: octal nounish 07/23/00 05:50 AM Re: octal screen 07/23/00 11:36 AM Re: octal wow 02/23/01 02:32 PM Re: octal maverick 02/23/01 06:38 PM Re: octal wow 02/23/01 06:51 PM Re: octal of troy 02/23/01 07:03 PM Re: octal Jackie 07/24/00 02:05 AM Re: octal screen 07/26/00 03:22 PM Re: octal Bingley 07/27/00 04:57 AM Re: octal emanuela 07/27/00 06:33 AM Re: octal Bingley 07/27/00 10:30 AM Re: octal tsuwm 07/27/00 01:40 PM Re: octal screen 07/27/00 02:32 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
