Talk:Counter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I remember once reading about a kind of counter that, instead of counting in a normal positional numeral system, used some sort of alternate representation where the successor of any number always differs from it by only one digit. (As opposed to, say, 0999 and 1000 in decimal, which differ from each other in all four digits.) Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was called. Maybe some information could be added here? -- Milo

[edit] Johnson and Decade counters?

Can someone indicate why these were deleted? I'm restoring them for now, if you feel it's appropriate to delete them again, please let us know why on this page, just so we know. Thanks. B.Mearns^*, KSC 12:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Just a thought, why are Johnson and Rizie counters called so? Are there any major differences, or are the terms used interchangeably? Xcentaur 19:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
