It doesn't really.
I was going hatchets for the tree part, hatches for the coming out and playing part. As in a bunch of young animals... Also clutches so wouldn't be the first one but definitely more to come.... eh. I said it didn't fit very well :-p.
Yup. I'm working it that way now to see if there's a better pattern than there was without the 0's (it was terrible without).
Hopefully Adiace gets back to us soon to confirm or deny .
Well crap, I think after you posed your question I understood it a little better.
Let me take a stab at the numbering system.
0,1,2,3,4,5,7,8,00,02,03,04,05,07,11,12,13,14,15,17,20...
0 as a digit, it comes after nothing and before 1?
Stacking dolls. Or Russian Nesting Dolls (My mom had some that I played with and broke as a child... Then later I found out they were really expensive)
So can 010 be assigned in the place of 10? I'm basically trying to figure out which exclusions exist and I thought I had a pattern but I actually forgot about 0 as well as I eliminated numbers like 609 (which is ok to flip) before realizing they'd be ok.
edit: As soon as I posted that I realized 609 is probably not ok because unless these bacteria actually flip their numbers 180 degrees and not just upside down, 609 would turn into 906 .
edit2: Nevermind... as far as I can see 609 should be ok. Because with it upside down (not 180) it's not a number.
I'm equally confused which is why I figured 10 was ok... since there wouldn't be a 01.
I don't know where to go anymore because I don't think I even understand the numbering system now...
Not yet, keep in mind each stanza has the same answer and there are 4 now (added another one a few posts back).
Hopefully I didn't miss something and make this unsolvable
Additional Stanza!

how many would live or become food
Their journies together as a batch
For they still had yet to hatch
