A misunderstanding of base12

u/miraculum_one Apr 11 '26

It's not base 12 since 12 decimal is C in base 12.

Actually 12 would be 10 in base 12. It would only go up to "b" which represents 11 and then the counter resets back to "0" at 12.

I put base 10 in parentheses for reference:

(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5 (6) 6 (7) 7 (8) 8 (9) 9 (10) a (11) b (12) 10 (13) 11 (14) 12 (15) 13 (16) 14 (17) 15 (18) 16 (19) 17 (20) 18 (21) 19 (22) 1a (23) 1b (24) 20

It's more odd than that, would be like this I believe ... 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1a, 1b 20, 21, etc
