Really like that zero glyph. I wonder if, instead of Roman numerals, one could use ligatures to encode numeric strings as binary… 42 as 010101

(I sort of randomly picked 42, didn't know it was such an interesting string… Douglas Adams must have known that)

101010 - I'm guessing you know, and want to find out how long it takes for someone to notice and respond.

little endian vs big endian.

		Also, typing it out while you run the algo in your head: 42 even -> 0, 21 odd -> 1, 10 even -> 0, 5 odd -> 1, 2 even -> 0, 1 odd -> 1.

ah, I never actually bothered to read up on binary notation. I only know it via party tricks (counting to a thousand on two hands)
