2, but not in the same pattern that the picture illustrates.

is the "hat" of the 5 drawn in the opposite direction, or is there another 2 stroke method?

Odd results for 7. I'm the only guy I know that draws a line through the middle. Same goes for the character z.

 

[nageov3t]

open top on my 4's and no dashes through my 7's unless I mess up and it could possibly be mistaken for a 1.

different strokes for different folks =P

Hey! Don't forget to add the "1" to your poll!

Loop the 2 for business to tell it apart fom Z. 2 strokes (semi S, then cross the top). No dash. Open.

I never draw a line through a 7, but I'll do it to Zs if I'm doing something for math and I need to make sure it's a z and not a 2.

5 = usually 1 stroke
4 = usually open
1 = almost always with tilted line on top

where did the dash through the 7 thing come from?

I dash my sevens and zed's and uh what else.. zeros somethimes, if its some sort of alphanumeric code and i need to distinguish between o and 0

I do a line through Z's as well.

done. though i think lowercase "L" should be popular because of efficiency and natural tendency

to differentiate from a 1 with a heavy serif, and a forgotten base, i guess.

you can draw a line through the letter z? is that strictly upper case or lower case? i've never seen it done

5 - One stroke
7 - No slash
4 - Open top
1 - Baseline only

Do your 2s have a loop in them? Do your 0s have a slash through them?

No and yes for me...

Usually no but I find that when I'm in a CS class dealing about binary numbers I tend to do it without thinking.

2 but they look like an S

Fixed.

 

[jaysgirl]

What about eights? Two circles? Or one long loop? And my nine sometimes has a little hook at the bottom, so it kind of looks like a lower-case g...

 

[b0mbrman]

Alright...here's all of me

0 - circle with slash
1 - verticle line with baseline
2 - no loops
3 -
4 - hole at top
5 - one stroke
6 -
7 - no slash
8 - two stacked circles
9 - like this "q" but higher

And that's that
