#elevenary

[the-quick-brown-fox12]

My Non-objective Tierlist of Bases 1~10

S: Hex (A power of 2 meaning good computer compatibility & good dyadic fractions representations and thirds & fifths have a good representation since F is divisible by both)

A: Senary (All fractions before eleven are easy to remember, all primes except 2 & 3 end in either a 1 or 5 and Jan Misali likes it)

B: Dozenal (Halves, quarters & thirds are cool with fifths on-thin-ice but feels kinda overrated) Octal (A power of 2 but is terrible at non-dyadic fraction except ninths)

C: Decimal (Works well with fingers & the world we have today along with halves, thirds & fifths but impractical in everything mathematical)

D: Other dyadic bases (Dyadic fractions are good I guess) Nonary (Odd but is used by Windows & Apple and can be used for 7-ate-9 jokes) Vigesimal (Just a fatter decimal without thirds)

E: All other composite bases (There are better options), Quinary (Good on fingers but is prime) Elevenary (Fun to suggest as a compromise to decimal vs dozenal fights)

F: Anything odd & prime (Whyyyy?!)

N/A: Binary (impractical for basic human needs but excels at counting information & computing with-flying-colors!)

On Hexagon, instead of languages, people are "multi-lingunal" with number systems, like binary, seximal, decimal, dozenal, elevenary, etc. Different regions speak, mathematically, in different bases. One may speak using what we use (decimal, aka base 10) but another one might speak of numbers in base 17.

Also I headcanon that Rex speaks four "languages": he speaks binary, seximal, decimal, and hex (short for hexadecimal)
