    How high can you count? I just got up to 65 but then lost it and had to start again from nothing:(

    I'm not very good with numbers :( My dad taught me the alphabet backwards when I was four but never taught me how to count.

    I'm the same, words always came naturally to me but I had to struggle with my times tables.

    Buuut, I can count up to 65 (honest!) Just shows what we can achieve with a little perseverance:H

    Obviously you can't because that number is actually called One hundred hexillion (or is it sexillion)?

    More to the point, are you actually counting it properly or are you cheating by using american shortcuts?

    Is that possible? I always thought it started again from 60, eg, 28, 33, 42, 60... 1, 2, 3...etc, Otherwise my clock is totally fucked.

    Actually starting from nothing gives you an infinitely large headstart - it's cheating really! You should really start from minus infinity, and then count to minus infinity plus one, minus infinity plus two, minus infinity plus 3, etc. You'll never get to zero, never mind 100! In fact you'll never get anywhere because minus infinity is minus infinity no matter how many numbers you add to it! :)

    True, I always count the pegs as I take the washing off the line.

    You should go to America then where they misuse terms like trigonometry to make arithmetic seem sophisticated.
