210 (two ten), but you have 9 left over letters.

An interesting variation showing the power of lateral thinking. ;-)


Depends of the base you use, for example, in base 36 as below:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
V W X Y Z
31 32 33 34 35

So ZZ in base36 is 1295 in base 10 (36x36 -1)
Now, if you use base64 and greek letters as digit + cyrillic letters as digit, would be 64x64-1 = 4095
And so on...

In case anyone has difficulty seeing the lateral part...
210 (two ten) = TWO SINGLE DIGITS

Clever. Haven't ran across that one before.
