Interesting exercise in mental gymnastics... .
In base 1 there is no symbol for 0(zero) if one is to believe Wikipedia.
Thus there is no character after the character 0(zero) because that character does not exist in that system.
So counter to my incorrect and uninformed vote, the better answer is probably 'heresy'.
One learns the strangest things here... . Yet it does leave one open to asking what nothing is in a system which has no representation for it.
Perhaps if one is stuck in an unary system, zero would be thought of as a quality instead of as a quantity. I think I like that...
...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
