See if anything is still legible on that [Decayed Signpost]

{[INVESTIGATE]: [Decayed Sign Post]}

You look at the half rotten sign, and you can almost recognize a few letters. ‘YEX” which you piece together and assume it says something about ‘Yexxies Harbor’ which probably means you are on the right path.

You nod enthusiastically and Cal smiles proudly. 

You feel like you are starting to get the hang of this whole ‘language’ thing.Three whole letters! A new record for you.

How do you solve this problem? It's on page 583 of the Blue Book. #9) The decimal number 5.1010010000100001.... consists of only 1's and 0's to the right of the decimal point. The first 1 is followed by one 0, the second 1 is followed by two 0's, the third 1 is followed by three 0's, and so on. What is the total number of 0's between the 98th and the 101st 1 in this decimal number?

The 98th 1 will be followed by 98 0s. The 99th 1 will be followed by 99 0s. The 100th 1 will be followed by 100 0s. The you have the 101st 1, and you’re done counting. 

98 + 99 + 100 = 297
