Base 5 is based
The French used to count in base 20 (so that means both hands and both feet), which is why they read 97 as quatre-vingt-dix-sept, ie
4*20+10+7.One of the reasons why I hate learning French so much.
coworker taught me this and it blew my mind. I had previously jokingly used base 2 with my hands, but something like 01001 10010 would be difficult to handle.
Base 2 should be easy to add, but it requires effort to convert
It gets easier with practice
Don't you mean base 10?
Also, clearly seximal is the best
Binary is better than seximal, unless you rig the tests.
