OMG!!!! There is NOTHING written on the chalk board!!!
Perhaps that was a bit of an overreaction but I find the blank board creepy :).

It's embarrassing to admit it, but this was my reaction too. Pretty FFucked up, isn't it?

Nah... d-255 is FF. d-256 is 100. It's far more culturally appropos to ask somebody to pick a number between 1 and 100! I mean cheese. Just because you're operating in a sensible base doesn't mean you're constrained by the registers in an NES. :P
Redball:
Yeah, but 100ked up doesn't have the same effing sound.
Near Lurker:
Arrays aside, it's often easier even in more advanced computer science to count from one. Besides, pretty much everyone knows nowadays that something is up with the number 256.
jwhouk:
It took seven posts and Redball to point it out, but I started to slowly grrroooooooannnnnn shortly thereafterwards.
And I prefer FC-C9-17.
