    The highest number is 65535, then 0, then 105.

    Or:

    d = 105 - 65507;

    if (d < 0) d = d + 65536

    Thus, in your case, the answer is 134.

    To check this, from 65535 to 1 should be 2... 65535, 0, 1

    A 16 bit binary counter counts up to 65535 ( i.e 2^16-1).

    It depends on how many times it reset. When it resets, it should go from 2^15 - 1 to -2^15, i.e from

    32,767 to -32,768. Hope that helps
