mhtsos rated 7 months ago- Well i don't think it will find any implementation on everyday life,nice and innovative thinking though...

- the really good thing about the octomatics-number-system is that you can calculate visually. just add or remove the strokes! (...of course: if 2 strokes hit they will be "destroyed" and carried one position left when adding...pretty much like normal binary math). try it...it's very easy!

- This is gonna be a bitch for those of us who are still counting on our fingers.

- Really cool, but old habits die hard and the number system is pretty old.

- I love me some math.. Why do you ask? Arbitrary systems are fine and good for stone age uni-brows grubbing in the dirt, but as a modern people we should question EVERYTHING. Tradition is cool, but if a little re-tooling is all that stands between us and a good idea, we need to get off our collective asses. We might not be ready for a metric alphabet, but where's the shame in check'n out new ideas? If base ten was sweet little baby Jesus's plan for mathematics, why was I born with twelve toes? Never mind the webbing.

- yes, very good idea!

- Octaroons? Ludicrous! I suggest, instead, a base 12 numeric system originated by the Trouser Press people of ancient Sumaria (or possiblly Xanado) that allows you to count the number of goods you sell with the thumb of your left hand against the creases of that hands' fingers, while giving out the sold goods with your right hand. (If you understand.) Which is one reason why England retains to this day twelve inches to the foot.

- pretty unique thinking and i can see how it is an advantage over the current system but i can't see it coming into use anytime soon!

- While this is awesome, I don't think anyone is going to welcome this change. It'll probably become the Esperanto of time... an idealized concept that some learn, but never really implemented.
