If her licks were concentrated on two sides it would be 128 licks; FF hex.

Binary rules!

Well, if we can assume that a tootsie pop has a circular cross section, and that the tongue would be tangental to the surface of the pop, wouldn't it follow that it would take an infinite number of licks to reach the center on all sides, since you would have to lick each point numerous times?
