I'd be very interested in how high you can count in binary. Was wondering about that.

I counted out loud, saying the full form "two hundred and seventy four" etc. but I won't penalise you if you want to count silently or just say "two seven four".

I got to 588 and slipped up on 589. I expected to get to between 200 and 300. Mathematical pessimist.

I wanted to see what the probability density function for how high people count is. eg. Could it be an exponential distribution?

You may be interested in conflicting views about the world record for counting:
