Well, it is traditional for people to have 10 fingers :-) Other fun things to think about are negative bases. For example, 3(10) = 111(-2). That's 1*(-2)^2 + 1*(-2)^1 + 1*(-2)^0 = 4 - 2 + 1. I can't think of any use for negative bases, but they are a fun game to play with (if you're into that sort of stuff). Non-integer bases are fun too. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
