Wrong. Everything should be base 6, cause 6 senses, 6 bodyparts, 6 facial features, hexagonal vision, molecular structure, and oh by the way...

Isnโ€™t binary code usually written in base 16 though?

Puny human mind too weak for binary.

Don't use them. :marseyshrug:

With less numbers, you can count faster and worry less about accuracy. :marseycool:
