I can imagine some pretty funny sencarios... O_o

----

Cashier: "It will be many dollars for the sandwich, sir."

Customer: "How many dollars?"

Cashier: "I said many dollars."

Customer: "That's what I'm asking, how MANY dollars?"

Cashier: "Many dollars. Can't you read?"

Customer: "I am asking you HOW. MANY. DOLLARS."

Cashier: "MANY. I've told you many times already!"

Customer: "GAH!"

----

Teacher: "Okay, class, what's one plus many?

Student: "Two many!"

Teacher: "Correct!"

----

RPG: "Congrats! Hero has gained a level! He gained two HP! He gained one MP! He gained many ATK! He gained two DEF! He gained many EVA!"

Player: "Whoo-hoo! I'm at level many!"

----

And so on.

It'd just be really strange and funny to be only able to count as one, two and many.

But you wouldn't know what 3 (or anything above it) was! You could be just as good as math with onle 2 numbers.

I. Suck. At. Math.

Years ago, I joked with my friends that I was going to make a number system that was 0 and 82. If something wasn't 0, it was 82. Then I would just write (82)N. Unless, of course the answer was 0. Then I'd ace class no problem.

Of course, if the world really was like this, we'd come up with some way of telling how many. Probably just by making up new words for the numbers. We might have a different base, though.

I have many reasons why this would suck:

1) We would all be stupid.
2) How could we tell how much something costs?
many) We would all be the same age.
many) We wouldn't know dates or times.
many) There are probably more, but I can't think of any.

That system is flawed >( The only right system is 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, pope, 7, 8, and 9. Anyone who saysothers will have a fork placed in their eye.

Yes, there wouldn't be any need school. You can't fail because the highest score you could get is a 2. They're wouldn't be any money and other crap like that.

Our system would be devoid of modern geometry, and our world would slowly become completely 2D, before collapsing under it's own weight.

It'd start by getting pulled into the dairy section, then chased by bikers with wrenches.

No, highest score would be 'many'.

You fail.

See, you CAN fail.

AHA!
So I wonder what math classes would consist of. 1+1=? 1+2=? many-1=?

1+1= 2
1+2= Many
Many - 1 = 2 (since 'many' is right after 2)

Heh.

There would be 2^many
