I don't even know why it exists.. base 10 doesn't make sense but it's so common and ubiquitous that we have it etc and base 2 and 8 and 16 are good for nerd poo poo so why does base 11 exist? it has no unique special feature that the others do to make it worthwhile and just introduces a whole host of issues

I mean in the sense that it's arbitrary 10 is from fingers not any mathematics source or concept i

if youre a psychlo and have 11 fingers then base-11 is actually quite sensible

if you have a set of symbols 0, 1, 2, 3 you have base 4, right if you have a single switch with an on and an off position, you have base 2, right well look at your hands

yes that but also base 11 is the most natural counting system

Bloody posted:yes that but also base 11 is the most natural counting system actual human number systems are typically not derived from counting tho people just use whatever numbers are easiest for math. using base 10 instead of base 11 means you can operate based on hands, whereas 1/2 of 11 is a useless number see also: the popularity of base 60

10 fingers + the d = 11

maybe a bit far fetched though, but isbn uses 0-9 and X for its check digit

When we're using base 10 but if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Base 11.

binary is the best and cycling through different base systems to reveal patterns. seeing it more than one way at a time is far more advanced than just choosing one base
