Base-36 would be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,<then the entire alphabet>

You should try learning hexidecimal and octal :)

Is octal base-8?

But yes, i like Base-36 more. :3

Something you may like, is counting in binary on ur fingers, i done this when learning binary ages ago and found it pretty cool, theres probs some vids on youtube or something..

I'm not a troll:( And I wouldn't say it was that rare.. Maybe just a little:P

Checked out some youtube vids, pretty epic ^^

Yep. Seen as 'oct' came from the latin word 'octo' meaning 8 :)

Oo yes! Perfect sense:P

If I may suggest. If you like things like this why not try your hands at a bit of programming. Simple languages can be fun to learn, and in time you'll be able to create applications, games and websites.

Even simple visual basic applications can be fun. I'm being forced to revise .NET at the moment, it's boring as hell. Especially when the lecturer was swopping between C# and VB all year.

You can figure out what base something is by how many different digits it has. Binary is base 2 because theres only 2 digits, 0 and 1. Number system is base 10 as theres 10 different digits. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

visual basic, the easiest thing known to man. Is it weird that i actually like it? Albeit its possible because its my first programming language but still, i find it very fun. Though, very, very easy.
