Now, doesn't 232332 (base 6) sound much more impressive?

yes, it does. especially if you're special enough to know that -- in base 6 lingo -- 3 is articulated as "bee", and 2 is "doo" except when it occurs at the start of a "word" in which case it is pronounced "scoo", meaning this number is vocalized as "scoo bee doo bee bee doo". -bowerbird p.s. personally, i like base 7 -- 112211 -- a lot because it's great to have m.c. palindrome on the ones and twos... p.p.s. there are 10 types of people in this world -- those who understand base 2 and those who don't.
