If i remeber my diagram, I excluded teh thumbs untill last, although this has no real bearing on teh final outcome. You then use the tips and all knuckles of your fingers, it breaks down something like: 16*4=64 64*4=256 now at this point you bring back the thumbs using the tips and first knucle, 256*4=1024 the way it is done is that you use your left hand as your counter, and your right as the pointer using all points of reference that are used on the left hand. doing that gives you 1024 nick "going number boggled" lidster _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
