jazzfishwould have posted this last night, but my network card seems to be being flaky. or maybe it's the network in general. anyway.
i feel like banging my head against something, because i am a great fool. _riven_ is bloody brilliant.
and i can't really describe this without spoilers. in a nutshell: five is very important in riven. important enough to be the basis of their number system. essentially, the problem was that i was looking at the numeral for "five" and thinking "five", not "one and zero." so when i got to ten ("two and zero") i was completely lost.
duh.
