To represnet 64 coins,i need 6 bits of infomation :)

The standard proof that all positive integers are interesting goes like this:
- 1 is the smallest positive integer. That's interesting.
- Suppose that you've proven that 1N are interesting.
Then either N+1 is interesting, and you continue the induction process, or
- N+1 is the smallest

To deal with 65 possibilites, you need 7 bits (well, 6

It breaks down after few consequtive non-interesting integers.
In fact, there is a proof somewhere that 17, 18 and 19 are not interesting at
all.

Somehow I have difficulty believing the these people could be so totally lame
as to be running mission-critical stuff like this on windoze. Please say it
isn't true. Is the military also now dependant on windoze? Bizarre, absolutely
bizarre. And here I thought it was probably caused by people wi
