The GBers Handy Guide to Alphanumeric Threads.

[Conager]

"A-Z" refers to ALL of the letters in the standard alphabet. Admitedly arbitrary, and a it of a hunt and a peck on a QWERTY keyboard, but each successive post needs to begin with the NEXT letter. I'm a bit rusty myself.

For clarity that would be:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.

Counting threads total a numerical sequence of integers, typically in ascending order, thusly:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 and so on.

This is an ascending ladder with a step of one, if that helps.

Calculators are permitted.

Have fun!

Nobody said there was going to be math. AND a quiz.

WTF has this place turned into?

That's two consecutive posts starting with the letter "T"...oops. make it three in a row now!

The fucker slipped a :N: in there on me.

The good news is that you won't need the multiplication tables past the "ones."

I think he's stuck on doing things to a T.

That is nonsense. I cooked a ribeye, not a T-bone.

At least I think it was a ribeye; I didn't label anything before I froze it.

Base 16. Just saying'...

My friend the (Engineer?) (Physicist?) with multiple degrees was always as nerdy as I even as children. I'm fascinated with patterns. He says, "Yeah, but that number only looks cool in base 10, which you only use because 10 digits on your hands."

Killjoy.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Does that mean that Arkansas uses Base 12?

 

[Conager]

That's how many they start with.
