[ExI] puzzle

[SR Ballard]

That is the worst handwritten 50 I think I have ever seen. 

And here I was trying to think about a system of math based on base 50 system with no indexation of pos/neg and/or an absolute value system.

Occam’s razor I suppose. 

Suppose in this system 0+100 would be better notated as 0+2(50). 

I actually kind of enjoyed this exercise. It could also be viewed as distance on the circle from a predetermined location, you can’t get more than 50 away because you’d be off the circle.
