Just when I thought the "8-digit Octal
Counter" was the limit, the "8-digit
Decimal Counter" was announced.
CONGRATULATION!
Let me download those new updates.

PS: About Alexis' "9-bits base11
counter":
The hint says, "+14 moves". At the
beginning, one move is needed, so the
tank can start counting from C5 tunnel.
At the end of the day, the tank is
resting on C5 tunnel when the A4
anti-tank is shot into the water. The
tank needs 15 moves to reach the flag
from there. Therefore, the additional
number of moves is 16, not 14.
We can use the word "Undenary" for
"base11".
Probably, the expression "9-digit"
(without "s") is more accurate than
"9-bits". As far as I remember, "bit" is
b(inary) (dig)it. I noticed that Horst
Ledpeddle uses the word "trit" for
tr(inary) (dig)it and "quint" for
quin(ary) (digi)t. (I just guessed.)
Therefore, "9-bits base11 counter" can
be called as "9-digit Undenary Counter",
I think.
