This plan fails in the face of numbers with lots of internal zeros. For instance, if you see your fellow prisoners with numbers 1010101 (4 ones), 101010101 (5 ones) and 10101010101 (6 ones), and you get given a paper with 10101010101010101010101 (12 ones) written on it, you have no idea whether your number is 1, 101, or 10101 (since all you can do is count the ones, and 12 = 5+4+3 = 6+4+2 = 6+5+1).
