Giving a Pi Zero to first person who can tell me which of these are "zero"s, and which are the "letter O".

@cemk Indeed, the glyph is the same but there might be a way to differentiate between zeros and O's : Spacing.

I miss the old days, when zeros featured a slash...

@Vexelius You're right, spacing does change; numbers are slightly further apart than letters.
You can only fit 15.5 zero's to the same width that can contain 16 letter O's.
Still, when you mix 'em up, it gets very very difficult to differentiate, as is in my example. https://mastodon.social/media/b8n47-GeMr7KpPRCvHo
