Favorite numeral system?

[°Leprechaun]

Another question: what is your favorite number?

17 choices because 17 is a cool number
16 day poll because 16 is a cool number, although 17 is cooler

Can you think of a number that has an "a" in it? (spelled out in words, not in the number itself)

[°Leprechaun]

Well, quadrillion was the only number that I could think of. Of course, dollars as well.
and quarters.

hexadecimal (for some reason called base 16 in the poll) is my favorite


I could do basic math in binary, octal, decimal (obviously) and hexadecimal at one point in my life....probably still could I guess, but I'd have to remember/relearn the tricks.  Oddly, it almost NEVER comes up in real life that one needs to divide two octal numbers.

The only reason is that I was being lazy, I guess.

Also, 8 has the letter a in German.  40 has the letter a in Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.  In English, one thousand has the letter a, as does one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, as do an infinite number of other integers. 

I knew that about other languages. I wasn't thinking when I was thinking about English, however and you are right, I don't know why I forgot about one thousand. Come to think of it you could say a hundred instead of one hundred, as well. You could also say one thousand and one instead of one thousand one, so there are a lot of "A"s. Not before one hundred, however unless you say twenty and one, which most people don't unless they really like the letter a. The point is that a isn't as common as e,i, and o. U is the same as A, I guess. I also don't know if any of this is really important, so sorry for wasting  time. I think math is very important, however and that's the point.

and my brain just locked up.  Do you know how long it takes to reboot this thing?

I think most people have a problem with math, so you're not alone there.

by the way my vote was for base 4, because of what 222 equals
