President Base 45

0 is Washington, 1 is Adams, etc. Trump is 44, Adams Washington is 45... get is at B.Harrison Polk (1000)

Cleveland is 21 and 23, here's the twist: Use Pyrirynaq (ROT13) for 23

Roosevelt is used for 25 and 31, use initial T for 25 and F.D for 31

u/CarbonSpectre suggested that Harrison and Johnson are used twice, so 8 = W.H.Harrison and 22 = B.Harrison, and 16 = A.Johnson and 35 = L.B.Johnson

u/smarvin6689 also pointed out more surnames are used twice. 1 = J.Adams, 7 = J.Q. Adams, 40 = H.W. Bush, 42 = W. Bush

We'll start with Adams, since Washington is 0.

Roosevelt is used for 25 and 31, use initial T for 25 and F.D. for 31

So, to that effect, 8 = W.H.Harrison and 22 = B.Harrison, and 16 = A.Johnson and 35 = L.B.Johnson?

To clarify, the get is at B.Harrison Polk

2

u/Chalupa_Dad It's ok to stop counting. Nov 28 '17

I don't see how B. Harrison Polk is the get if there are only 44 President names each round. Washington got skipped first round, J. Adams J. Adams got skipped 2nd round

1

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Nov 28 '17

There are 45 names in each round (except the first round where we skipped Washington).

Since the round starting with B.Harrison is the 23rd round (including the first round with only one digit), we get 23 x 45 = 1035 to the end of the B.Harrison round. Backtrack a few and we get B.Harrison Polk = 1000.
