A man was playing a game of golf, and on hole 16, he hit the ball right
into a field of buttercups. As honest a golfer as he normally was, he
picked up the ball and laid it next to the flowerbed to avoid destroying
the beautiful buttercups. A fairy comes down and says "thank you for not
disturbing my buttercups. For that I shall make sure that you always have
a full supply of butter".

"Thank you," the golfer replied, "but where were you last week when I hit
the ball into the pussywillows?"

Ternary (sometimes called trinary) is the base-3 numeral system. Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (trinary digit). One trit contains \log_2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information. Although ternary most often refers to a system in which the three digits 0, 1, and 2 are all whole numbers, the adjective also lends its name to the balanced ternary system, used in comparison logic and ternary computers.

Numbers one to twenty-seven in standard ternary Ternary 1 2 10 11 12 20 21 22 100

*blinks* wow. I thought this was Monday laughs, not Monday maths! :D :lol:

So continuing said sequence would be... 110 120 200 210 220... am I understanding this correctly?

Nope, the next few numbers would be 101, 102, 110, 111, 112, 120, 121, 122, 200, etc. Just like 8, 9, 10, 11... 19, 20, 21 ;)
