  when I use alternate bases I usually replace the symbols 0-9 as well because I find it hard to get used to numbers that look the same but are different

  11Ɛ8 is 2012, so that means...<br>11Ɛ9 is 2013,<br>11ƐX is 2014,<br>11ƐƐ is 2015,<br>That makes 2016 = 1200. Happy new century, I guess.

  Fascinating! Great video!<br><br>As a former Disney animator, we worked at 24 frames per second, which was SO MUCH EASIER to animate things on fractions of a second using 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24 - as steps in timing for a character or object.<br><br>I definitely think mathematics would be far simpler using this numbering system, as I still use it to calculate things in my head simply by being exposed to it in my younger years.
