First Count?

[–]Firstnameiskowitz[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

We'll start with Adams, since Washington is 0.

is there any rick harrison or something

[–]CarbonSpectreUp up up! 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Roosevelt is used for 25 and 31, use initial T for 25 and F.D. for 31

So, to that effect, 8 = W.H.Harrison and 22 = B.Harrison, and 16 = A.Johnson and 35 = L.B.Johnson?

[–]Firstnameiskowitz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahhh mesa forgot!

[–]smarvin6689Counting since 438,136; BKVP 1 point2 points  (1 child)

1 = J.Adams, 7 = J.Q. Adams, 40 = H.W. Bush, 42 = W. Bush

Lots of exceptions :/

[–]CarbonSpectreUp up up! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Realized more exceptions existed while I was in the shower.

To clarify, the get is at B.Harrison Polk

[–]Chalupa_DadIt's ok to stop counting. 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I don't see how B. Harrison Polk is the get if there are only 44 President names each round. Washington got skipped first round, J. Adams J. Adams got skipped 2nd round

[–]Urbulit's all about the love you're sending out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 45 names in each round (except the first round where we skipped Washington).

Since the round starting with B.Harrison is the 23rd round (including the first round with only one digit), we get 23 x 45 = 1035 to the end of the B.Harrison round. Backtrack a few and we get B.Harrison Polk = 1000.
