It can be assumed however that .9. isn't in binary?
That's a neat idea. But an even simpler scheme might be:
.octal.100
.decimal.100
.hex.100
.binary.100
.trinary.100
until it gets to this anyway:
.thiryseximal.100

lt with it. Had to change 'w:bz2' into 'w|bz2'.
But now have another problem:
It's the same problem, asked and answered. Why not read the replies of

ant to talk about it you
have to disclaim that it's not a proper base and that's you're making up
as you go. But you can't pretend like it's the "obvious" mathematical
meaning just because the usual mathematical meaning doesn't apply, which
is what you see

Actually, the speed of light is exactly 299792458.0 m/s by
definition. (The meter and the second are defined in terms of the
same wavelength of light; this wa
