   I just discovered something very confusing.

   All number systems and "base 10". Decimal is base 10, binary is base 10, hex is base 10, octal is base 10, etc.

     If you don't get what I mean, just think how do you write 2 in binary?

     @ned thats converting binary to decimal. Binary is just 0 and 1.

     @ned base 1 can't be 10

     @Almondee what? All number systems except unary contain "0" and "1".

     @kamehamic count with me. 1, 10, 11, 100, etc. When counting in this number system it's base 10 is it not?

     @ned >binary is base 10
     This won't age well.

     @CoffeeFingers @ned

     Base 12 counting system is very interesting to me

     @GMOdysseys @CoffeeFingers also known as Dozenal, which is also base 10 😉

     @CoffeeFingers I've never been a fan because there's too many digits. If you need multiple shapes to represent a single digit just use a smaller counting system.

     @ned @philcolbourn base 1 isn’t a numbering system it’s a pile. Numbers are what we invented to escape it.

     @ned

     but you dont care - you made a discovery!

     i like doing 0-1-infinity thinking... if it works for none. and it works for 1, does it work for all?

     in this case, i works down, not up.

     @ned you can put anything you want there, theres still only 2 base.

     @ned that makes 2 of us.
     My interpretation of what you said is because there's a 1 and a 0 in binary, 10 (2 in decimal) makes it a base 10 system. My point is you can use whatever you want as the up and down states, or base, of binary, its still made of 2 not 10.

     @Almondee I'll start again with some examples.

     binary contains the digits 0 and 1. To write the decimal number 2 in binary it is "10". So if we write base 2 in binary, we would call it "base 10".

     Hex contains the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. To write the decimal number 16 in hex it is "10". So if we write base 16 in hex, we would call it "base 10".

     in this way, all systems are base 10.

     @kamehamic LOL you still don't get it. Why is this so hard to understand.

     The decimal number "2" is written in binary as the number "10". So if you want to express the words "base two" in binary you would write it as "base 10".

     @ned 1 base 10 count starts from 0
     2 base 10 means it has ten numbers, 0 to 9
     Now count ten elements in binary without repeating numbers, GL
