  • Polynomial works fine.

    Exponential, runs into problem 2 that I brought up.

    The digit in the ones place will always equal 1

    So 01, 02, 03, 04, 05… 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F… will never exceed 1.

    (I thought that the polynomial problem (1 in any place will always equal 1) would be worse, but it turns out the opposite is true.)

    Fixed exponential count:
    1, 10, 11, 20, 21, 111, 120, 30, 200, 201

    Or, in the trivial^^2 case for exponential, you could just put a 1 in the highest place and put a bunch of 0s after it.
    1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000…
