Hi Dan, > > You've fallen for their propaganda! It's a well-known secret that > > Canonical work in senary internally. 10/10/10 is not what it seems! > > I don't get it. You're not the only one based on the off-list emails I'm getting. :-) Senary is base 6, just like binary is base 2. The number written one-zero, 10, in decimal means one ten, and no units. In base 2, 10 is the quantity 2, and in base 6, senary, it's the quantity 6. So 10/10/10 in senary is 6/6/6 in decimal; the number of the beast from the bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast Although, as Sean pointed out, 6/1/6 is now a contender too. Well, I thought it was funny. Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-09-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://bit.ly/4sACa

Senary means base 6. 10 is 6. 10/10/10 is 666.
