Finally finished the draft of my PAO list - feels like it’s taken me forever, but I guess it’s only been a couple of weeks.
I’m posting it here in the hope that
- It may be useful to someone else building their list
- Some kind and observant people may point out any weaknesses or clashes in what I’ve done.
Because I’m wanting to use this entirely for real-world numbers, it contains E (times ten to the power of) and decimals, but no Jacks, Queens or Kings … though I’m not ruling out adding those in the future (in fact as I have 12 numbers per “suite” already - e.g. 2, .2, 02, 12, 22, 32, 42 … 92 I’d only need to add four more).
