> Should the chocolate go to Susan anyway? Yes, of course. > expressed as 10 to 3 based numbers I was close to the clue experimenting with notation basis :( But James found error in your sequence. And I didn't expect there was one. So the answer is: 10 = 10 (base 10) 11 = 10 (base 9) 12 = 10 (base 8) 13 = 10 (base 7) 14 = 10 (base 6) 20 = 10 (base 5) 22 = 10 (base 4) 101 = 10 (base 3) 1010 = 10 (base 2) Thank you, Shamil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 9:17 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Friday entertainment > Hi James > > Great!
