On a more serious note, I bowled a 255 tonight at my league. This finally brings my high game into the 250s (the other games were 193 and 181 iirc). Of similar importance is the fact that I had 8 in a row that game, followed by a double strike to start off the following game, resulting in 10 consecutive strikes. This is not as impressive as the fact that my bowling partner bumped up his high game from 278 to 297 yesterday, but still makes me very pumped.  | ||

On a side note, 255 I think is the max for starcraft upgrades (if you play ums you know what I'm talking about) I wonder why 255 wasn't the max supply? Isn't it also the stat maxes in final fantasy games? I think it's a pretty common number, but they probably chose 200 instead of 255 in starcraft for technical reasons... | ||

This is the maximum value representable by an eight-digit binary number, and therefore the maximum representable by an unsigned 8-bit byte (the most common size of byte, also called octet), the smallest common variable size used in high level programming languages (bit being smaller, but rarely used for value storage). The range is 0 to 255, which is 256 total values. from wiki | ||

I think the summary is, computers work best in certain situations when variables can vary between 0 and 255, and it's become commonplace to use 255 as an upper limit, even at times when there's no logical value to it. | ||
