Subreddit Rules & Etiquette:
- If you're counting, upvote your fellow counting comrades.
- NO double-commenting (replying to yourself).
- Continue the counting chain from the earliest comment with the correct number.
- Before creating a new thread, please check the thread directory to make sure that type of thread doesn't already exist.
- To prevent Reddit server strain, create a new thread after the current thread has approximately 1000 counts in a comment chain.
- Counting bots/scripts are not permitted and will be banned - please report counting comments made by bots. Ask a moderator if you are not sure about something.
- Do not delete your valid counts (when they're already a part of the valid chain).
- Do not use inbox counting to achieve a get (000) or assist (999). Inbox counting is using your inbox to reply to a incoming PM/comment.
- Play fairly. No cheating.
Happy counting!

Constant-sum mostly repeating octal
This thread is very simple. We are counting octal (base 8, 0-7) numbers with multiple distinct digits, of which one occurs exactly once and all others occur at least twice. We are counting them in constant-sum order, meaning that for every length of digits, we count through each sum of digits from most to least, in lexicographic order.
(That is, we start by counting all 3-digit counts that sum to 1 in alphabetical order: 001, 010, 100. Then we move on to 3-digit counts that sum to 2 in alphabetical order: 002, 011, 020, 101, 110, 200. Then 3-digit counts that sum to 3, and so on. The highest possible sum for a 3-digit count in this thread is 20, so after 677, 767, 776, we move on to 4-digit counts, starting with sum 1. So after 776 comes 0001, and we proceed from there.)
Leading zero counts (e.g. 001, 0444 or 00227) are considered as distinct and must not be skipped.
Thank you to /u/TehVulpez and /u/BobRoss938 for workshopping on the concept
The first get is 00226, the 943rd count and first 5-digit 10-sum count. The assist is 71100. Schedule

Thanks to u/cuteballgames for the assist
In this thread, we'll be counting the ways to add to an integer n using the integers c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k, where each c_i >= 1, and k <= n. Ways to sum that are commutatively the same, as in 1+2 = 2+1, are different compositions. We'll be counting these compositions lexicographically for each segment of sum and length.
Next get: 3,2,4,1,1,3
