OK, we have done it forwards in binary, in base 10 and using Roman numerals. Let us see if we can do it backwards in base 16.

Here you can either post one number or you can post a series of numbers. I will get it going

FFFFFF
FFFFFE
FFFFFD
FFFFFC
FFFFFB
FFFFFA
FFFFF9
FFFFF8
FFFFF7
FFFFF6
FFFFF5
FFFFF4
FFFFF3
FFFFF2
FFFFF1
FFFFF0

Looks like other people like base 16, I would like to know what words we will find while we are counting backwards in base 16. These are letter combinations which make words

Such as 000ADD
