[OT] pythageoron and 3d

The &#num; method and the Alt-Num methods are quite different: The Alt-Num method is run at your machine and sent as the resulting byte to the board; when it is viewed, that same byte is sent back to the browser doing the viewing, at which point it is interperted into a symbol. the &#num; method is sent as they typed string to the board, and returned as the typed string to the browser of the person viewing it, where it is translated to a character. Where &#num; loops is implementation dependant. It might be set by the HTML standard, but many browsers have slightly non-standard HTML, so it is anybody's guess.

Here are some characters for &#num; method, powers of 2:

that Last one is 2^33 - just over 4 bytes. No apparent repeats. Let's try powers of 10 + 99:

The only repeats I am getting are the ? marks at the end. There is really no telling where it caps off, is there, without producing a script or something that goes through several million of them, or looking it up. But that wouldn't be any fun.
