Re: Happy New Year Message #12 Posted by Walter B on 31 Dec 2010, 12:56 p.m., in response to message #11 by Ren 2011 ENTER 125 / FP 125 * results in 11 corresponding to the "digit" B. 2011 ENTER 125 / IP results in 16 ... spero pax datum est 8) Edited: 31 Dec 2010, 12:58 p.m.

Re: Happy New Year Message #13 Posted by Dieter on 1 Jan 2011, 12:14 p.m., in response to message #12 by Walter B Well, the one or other RPN-user might prefer to write this as... 2011 ENTER 125 RMDR => 11 = B 2011 ENTER 125 INT/ => 16 = G I love all those numeric functions that make things more elegant, more precise or just shorter. :-) However, in this case the final solution of course is writing "2011" as a base-2011-number: a simple "10". B-) Dieter

Re: Happy New Year Message #16 Posted by Don Shepherd on 3 Jan 2011, 5:04 p.m., in response to message #13 by Dieter Base 2011 means you have 2,011 unique symbols to represent numbers. What are the other 2009 symbols? : )

Re: Happy New Year Message #17 Posted by Ken Shaw on 31 Dec 2010, 12:57 p.m., in response to message #11 by Ren Base 125. G represents 16. B represents 11. (G*125^1)+(B*125^0) = 2011.

Re: Happy New Year Message #18 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 31 Dec 2010, 1:02 p.m., in response to message #17 by Ken Shaw So we can likewise use base 250 and get 8B(250) or even simpler 11(2010) Edited: 31 Dec 2010, 1:07 p.m.

Re: Happy New Year Message #19 Posted by Martin Pinckney on 31 Dec 2010, 1:33 p.m., in response to message #18 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Clever, indeed!

Re: Happy New Year Message #20 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 31 Dec 2010, 1:45 p.m., in response to message #18 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Yes, but somehow I thought GB would look better :-) Happy New Year! Gerson Barbosa.

Re: Happy New Year Message #21 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 31 Dec 2010, 1:49 p.m., in response to message #20 by Gerson W. Barbosa You can't do that with M v and C. ;) At least I can't.

Re: Happy New Year Message #22 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 31 Dec 2010, 2:00 p.m., in response to message #21 by Marcus von Cube, Germany In only three years we'll reach MC(91). We'll have to wait a little longer for MVC(32), though. :-) Edited: 31 Dec 2010, 2:02 p.m.

Re: Happy New Year Message #23 Posted by Walter B on 31 Dec 2010, 3:38 p.m., in response to message #20 by Gerson W. Barbosa Ok, I think I've got a chance to repeat my wishes in another base: Happy WB(62.5)

Re: Happy New Year Message #24 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 31 Dec 2010, 3:49 p.m., in response to message #23 by Walter B Quote: Happy WB(62.5) Yet another utility of non-integer bases!

Re: Happy New Year Message #25 Posted by Xavier A. (Brazil) on 1 Jan 2011, 6:15 a.m., in response to message #18 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Quote: even simpler 11(2010) I like this: simplicity relative to base. Une bonne année à tous! (Fbase)
