Well I'm going to share with you my very huge milestone I did today in the counting world I'm a part of on Reddit. I've touched on this mysterious world in a few of my recent WUs, and plan to write a very detailed explanation at a later date.

But for now, though you may not know what it means, I'd like to share my milestone anyhow. I managed to reach 100,000 counts in a collaborative count on Reddit, the first person to have done so on Reddit. :)


That is a binary count. Started with 1, then 2 and so on. :)

I'd love to share with any math fantics here one of the most interesting counts and some samples of the counts they've done in it.


The count is called Counting with 12054

The rules are as follows:


Use the digits 1, 2, 0, 5 and 4 once each in that order. These are the only constant values you can use.


Here are some of the more fascinating counts these counters have come up with:


⌈1.20! + ⌊√arcsin(⌈.5⌉)⌋ × 4⌉ = 851


1 × arccsc(2) + 0 × 5 + σ(sf(4)) = 849


(.1 x (arcsin(2 - 0!))) x (arcsin(S(5)) + 4) = 846


−σ(σ(σ(σ(1 + 2 + 0 × 5)))) + σ(sf(4)) = 804


(1 + 2) × |{±0!}|F(σ(5)) + F(Γ(4)) = 776


−|{±1}| + σ(σ(σ(σ(σ(2))))) − |{±0!}| + σ(54) = 792


arcsin(1) ÷ (σ(2)! × σ(|{±0!}|)) + σ(54) = 786


(1 + 2) × |{±0!}|F(σ(5)) + F(Γ(4)) = 776
