Is there a way of representing the number 69 other than numerically or with words (sixty nine)?

I'm not quite sure what you would count as "numerically". Anything that represents a "number" could be thought as "numeric" by definition. However, some ways that might suit you: 32 + 37 (as "+" isn't a number) 0x45 (alphanumeric sequence for a C programming language hexadecimal number) LXIX (roman numerals)

I can think of a Really, Really fun way, but since I'm not allowed to use words to discribe it, it is going to have to remain a secret between myself and those "in the know" ...sorry, I can't even show you a photo due to the terms of use, you just have to take my word for it as well as others "in the know" who rate this question as useful. I actually think that the person who posted the question is "in the know" Nice question ...tough to answer! But to answer your question YES there definately is, I promise, I just cant tell you.

How about using the Roman numerals? That would be LXIX. If you sound it out, it sounds either naughty or kinky.

Pictures. In primary/elementary grades in our division, there is a huge push towards getting kids to subitize: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subitizing_and_counting A lot of practice with dice patterns, tally marks, ten frames. An example is getting them to group numbers, say, into fives or tens (which we call friendly numbers), because they're easy to count by. So, for example, students might be asked to show the number 69 in three different ways. "69" would be "in numerals". "Sixty-nine" would be in "words". The following would be in "pictures": ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .... Tally marks give you the same idea. Easy to count by tens once you determine that one group is two rows of 5 = 10... EXCEPT for the last group, which is missing one... making it 69. I know... WAAAAY more than what you were looking for, but I've noticed that approaching math this way makes it less scary for kids. It's not so intimidating and it builds a stronger foundation for when they get to more abstract things.

Morse code. Naval semaphore flags. Lights in a window. Ascii or Unicode (almost numerical). By the tones on a touch-tone phone (the sound represents the number). On an abacus. Using 6 toes and 9 fingers. Placing 69 apples in a basket. Dropping 69 pennies in a jar. 6 dimes and 9 pennies (or lots of other coin combinations!) A tally sheet (13 groups of 5 hash-marks, with 4 hash-marks left over). Two ten-sided dice: one showing 6 dots and the other 9. Playing a C# note, two octaves below middle C (it vibrates at 69 Hertz). Cutting a meter-stick, so it is 69 cm long. Displaying a round clock face that reads 1:09 (69 minutes into the day). Pointing to March 10 on a non-leap-year calendar (the 69th day of the year). Having a horse stomp it's foot 6 times, then 9 times, before whinnying.
