When you count items do you start at 0 or at 1? I was at a website and the captcha stated: "Please type the fourth item in this captcha phrase: 'ijdf dfes eglkljf oijlkjf pllkj'"

I started at 0 (ijdf) and took the 3rd item (oijlkjf). I realized that was completely wrong. Do you ever do this?

My counting is usually more an issue of whether my calculator will be able to display all the digits... 27!*52! anyone?

I only start from 0 when counting array indexes. Everything else I start from 1.

Yeah I always start counting at 0. ;) I've got so used to counting array indexes that I start counting everything at 0. :D

I'm not sure but, I think what he means is: factorial of 27 times factorial of 52. It's such a big number, that most calculators are showing it as 8.7827634 * 10^95, and thus he's talking about whether or not calculators can show it.
