lol u totally lost me with that one

10 in base four is not "ten"

its "four" (2+2)

in base ten, the first number is ones, then tens, then hundreds, right?
well, in base four, its ones, then fours, then sixteens, etc. (no single digit may be over 3)

example:

take the number 301 (in base ten, or normal numbers as you know it)
in base 10, these digits work like this:



3 0 1
3x4^3 0x4^2 1x4^1


see how that works?
replace the fours, with say, fives to get base 5, and so on, and so on. ^-^

As PaRa said, Base 10 is regular counting, since we have 10 fingers and that likely the first way humans started counting. So when you are using base 4 you are counting by 4's, base 5 by 5's and so on... so to represent base 4 in binary 1 in binary =1, 10=4, 100=16, and so on... Like I said though it can give you a migraine

aha, but binary only has one and zero! so you can only count by (digit times column #^2)

hah~

hey paradox, are you Kameron Hinton?

Ah, just browsing urbandictionary.com and saw that the definition of PaRaDoX was whoever that is

k don't mean to be going bk to an old subject but i've been getting alot of junk mail sent to my e-mail....that's never happened b4 it always goes to my junk mail :S any way of stopping it?

Well you could set it up to only put email from addresses you specify in the inbox and then everything else in junk, ofcourse if someone sends you something from a different email thats not in you non-junk list then it will go into the junk folder.
