The notations for numerals have changed over time, just as letters have. If you see the alphabet over the years its had minor alterations as well, slightly different ways to draw letters.

The most common example of this is the number 7, which some people write with a horizontal slash half way up the number. or the different ways people write 2, with a sharp corner or a loop.

You'll notice that all of the different representations however have been 0-9, aka a base 10 system. If you want to have a mind blow experience look up some info on the mayan base 20 system, now thats some crazy shit from a modern perspective!

didnt know it was a competition - it's interesting if there is some sort of geometrical symbolic meanings why the numbers where like that / are like that
have you got some nice links for maya thing or gl with google

Heres the wiki on the mayan system, takes a bit to wrap your head around:

wat?

Exactly.

worth noting the that preferred symbol used became consistent with the advent of the printing press.
