• two bursts?
4
All the others are 2^n where n = # of bursts
• three bursts?
• four bursts?
b) How many characters, in total, can be coded, by up to and including five bursts?
2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + 2^5

c) How many bursts would be needed to code 100 characters?
7 if all characters have the same # of bursts.
6 if any # can be used.
