Marble Mathness



A mechanical binary adding machine that operates with marbles. Gotta admire that design, it's simple and brilliant. Now this is just too cool!

I am smarter than average, and I can say with authority that whoever designed that machine was a damned sight smarter than I have ever been or will ever be. And frankly, that is discouraging, because I desperately want to be that smart.

This is very cool. What's the limit? I mean the largest integer to which you can calculate?

@curtis: I can see only 6 bits, not 8 :-)) So, the maximum is 2^6-1=63.
