Lets have just two digits: 0 and 1.
We would like to send an ordered list
of natural numbers, separated by blanks.
The "excell" codes are a bit shorter
than the standard positional codes:

1 -- 0
10 -- 1
11 -- 00
100 -- 01
101 -- 10
110 -- 11
111 -- 000
1000 -- 001
1001 -- 010

etc.

The excell encoding will produce lists
which are never longer, and often shorter
than the positionally encoded lists.

Actually, another **variation** of the
coding of natural numbers, which is more
closely related to the standard, positional
encoding, is still a bit more efficient. It
is well known. I'll let you dwell on it.

Enjoy your easy entertainment,
