62S-33

In correcting Mike's slight oversight, I made my own error -- and I better hurry up and point it out before Mike does. :)
A family of numerals has eight members (without resorting to different colors!), making use of italics, underline and bold font.
For example, the hierarchy of the 7 family is:
7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7
In the position above, the top three plays of the 7 family make the 7pt, 3pt and 10pt, respectively further away from the 6pt:
7 = 13/7*(2)
7 = 13/7* 6/3(2)
7 = 13/7* 13/10(2)

[My error in the previous post was skipping to the bold font before underlining. I named the third play 7 instead of 7.]
It should be mentioned that it would be silly to resort to 7 to describe the 13/7* 13/10(2) play when either "O" or "3" does a much better job. Indeed one might never need to underline a numeral and rarely if ever would even resort to italicizing a numeral, but for the record I'm just setting straight the hierarchy, given that Mike brought it up in his post.
