@very-rusty saidDuh!
@rookie how do you get from 18 to 42. What happened to 19???

You add 24 ... which is 42 backwards.
... and weirdly 24 in hex is 0x18 - completing the circle
@very-rusty saidIf you take the thread title literally you count the number of posts, as a lot of people did correctly.

If you try to get a uninterupted count you get smaller numbers, since some people don't care about thread titles.
And some people interject numbers, that carry a meaning in between.
for the record.
