Surprised no one has brought this up, but the Chinese actually count to 10 on one hand.

Seems like another potential solution.

Meh. I can count to 31 on one hand.

It's Jason's number to give away... His opinion is the only one that should matter

Can hardly believe I am commenting on this thread, but this is precisely wrong. Retirement is an honor granted to him, he did not buy it therefore he does not own it. The University retires numbers and Duke University will do what K thinks they should do. IMHO, there is no way K will let one of his players jerseys be un-retired.

Which means that you can count to 961 on two hands? -- sage

From the article:

In a general conversation, Coach K told Jabari that you can wear Jason Williams's old number.

From the article:

I don't subscribe, but it looks like that is not actually a quote from K but rather second had heresay, which would be third hand by the time it gets to us. I will stand by my opinion on the matter for the time being.

1023, actually.

eta: there 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count in digital, and those that can't.

If there's a link to the second hand I do not believe it counts as third hand judging by the laws of heresayedness, unlees you're counting the author as the third hand at which point were sliding down the hill without knowing where the cactus are.

Oh, I see. But when I did the calculation, I got 32 for one hand and 1024 for two.
For one hand:

0 fingers - 1 way
1 finger - 5 ways
2 fingers - 10 ways (5 take 2?)
3 fingers - 10 ways (same)
4 fingers - 5
5 fingers - 1
Total - 32

Of course, I probably did it wrong.

Using trading-floor hand signals one can signal up to 999 with a single hand. Actually 1999, with buying distinguished from selling and zero on its own. Plus the twelve months and a variety of other signals.

That quote is from Jabari Parker's mother Lola.

Not sure if this has been covered in another thread (mods feel free to move/delete if it has been), but looks like Jabari will wear #1 next season, so retired jerseys are safe for the time being.

I guess that means Hood has a "new" # as well. I seem to recall him wearing #13 at Countdown to Craziness.

Hood tweeted last month that he will be wearing #5 next year.

Hood tweeted last month that he will be wearing #5 next year.

I saw an article a couple weeks back that showed the numbers that all the freshman (sans Jabari) would wear next year, meant to post it but never got around to it. Now I can't find it. Go figure. Old age hurts!

If anyone has the link or info please post. thanks

And Dre will wear #34 next year.
