3678 points
i don't know what to say. this is such an amazing achivement, and yet i cannot put the things i'm feeling into words at this wonderful moment. it's an end of an era, which i will greatly miss, but i look forward to my new path of destruction.
i love you all

The question is... would "3678" in the decimal system be of any significance, in terms of being an exact exponential number, if we counted with a different number system based on 9's or 7's or something?

Well.... 3678 is 00110011001101100011011100111000 in binary, and thats a very wonderful looking number now isnt it.

good point,... given that 3678 contains an "8", then then it can only be a number in number systems based on exponentials of 8 or above... unless you delete some arbitrary lower number symbols like "2" instead.
Actually, "3678" contains 4 seperate symbols (none of them are the same)... therefore the only exponential number system that can produce it must have at least 4 symbols of code in it.

not true. YOu can produce any number that exists with 2 different symbols. 0's and 1's can make any number.

I know 3678 can be written in a different code containing only, say 1's and 0's... but then the number would look different, as you wrote above... still the same number but it only contains the symbols "1" and "0"... what I meant was that "3678", if already coded in an exponential system containing a different number of constituent symbols than the decimal system must have at least 8 symbols: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... because 8 is the highest symbol used in "3678"... I just thought that it must contain nine or more symbols since I forgot about zero... so... how much would "3678" be if counted in a system using only 9 symbols (including 0)...
Actually I don't know what the hell I'm talking about... I think what I really mean to say was "if the number amount of 3678 (from the decimal system) was converted into some other system, would it possibly be an exact exponential in that system?.." Ah, screw it.

If it was 3678 in a base 9 system, that would be equal to 2744 in the familiar base 10 system. Which means... absolutely nothing. Sorry.

I'd have to think awhile before I'd be able to calculate that that fast... hmm..
oh yeah, I think you just went "8x9 plus 7x81 plus 6x179 plus 3x(whatever 9 to the 4th power is)"

oh wait what am I thinking... 179 isn't 9 cubed at all, off by several hundered there (its 729). regrettably, i rescind my compliment

no, it's just easy to multiply in your head since you just have to go 9x81 ...
9x1=9 9x8=17
=179 is easy in your head

hexadecimal is something like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,e,f or something... It uses all the number we normally use, and uses the first few letter for the other numbers... I forget how it works, but that's how it is I think...

Hexadecimal is probably the best most natural one... that or octa... because in these you can take a nice round even exponential number like 1000 (in hexadecimal) and conviently divide it in half again and again until you're left with 1. If you try to count this way in decimal, you'd start with a strange number like 2048 and divide it in half to other strange numbers to 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 Of course you can do this with binary, but it's awkward to work with such large sequences probably.
Also obviously you can divide penta easily into fifths instead of halfs etc. I think...
