Microstory 50: How Different People Count

This is not exactly a microstory, but it isn’t the first time I’ve used a different format, and it probably won’t be the last. I’ve been really busy this week, and I just can’t be spontaneously creative right now. I wrote this several years ago for no reason at all. It shows how different kinds of people look at counting.

  • Mathematicians: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13
  • Other Mathematicians: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
  • Cheerleaders: 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Computers: 0, 1, 0, 1
  • Rockers: 1. 2. 1, 2, 3, 4!
  • Romans: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI
  • The Offspring: Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
  • Astronauts: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
  • LOST Fans: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
  • Nihilists: WHO CARES!
  • Nietzsche: 1; me.
  • Camera Operators: 5, 4, 3, (2), (1)
  • Morons: What?
