possible A-F...

[thinkit8@lycos.com]

ok, making sure not to look at historical numerals, which is looking 
outward for answers instead of inward, i sketched what could by 
symbols A-F.  basically i looked at a standard 8-segment display and 
saw what was easy to draw and also didn't have the rotation problem 
of 6 and 9.  here's what i came up with:

*** *     * *   *** ***
*   *     * *     * *
*   *** *** ***   * ***
*   *   *     *   *   *
*   *   *     * ***   *

that's 10-15, in order.  now all i have to do is wait generations to 
have hexadecimal accepted, then more generations for the numbers to 
be standardized.
