There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Zach · 2007-06-07 05:00:34

Er, no, it's third.

shocamefromebay · 2007-06-07 06:36:28

how come teh fact taht its in a different base doesnt change the way its pronounced?

Zach · 2007-06-07 09:44:45

Because 10 in Base Three is still 3 in Base Ten.
