How do I count in Myst?

Question

So, I'm currently playing Myst V: End of Ages, and I've found quite a few D'ni numbers around. I know I've seen them in Riven, but I can't find my notes from then, and can't find a way to translate them here.

Anyway, can someone tell me how the number system works in the Myst universe?

Answer

It's a base 25 numbering system that is broken up into 5 groups of 5 symbols. Once you know the symbols for 0 - 4, the symbols for 5 - 9, 10 - 14, 15 - 19, and 20 - 24 are the same, but they will have a modifier for 5, 10, etc. added to them. 14 is the symbol for 4 and the symbol for 10 superimposed.

Here is a more comprehensive article on it, with pictures for the numbers.
