Re: Hexadecimal digits

[Tim Greenwood]

I was at high school in England a few years prior to the currency
decimalization. A teacher argued that the then current system of 12 pennies
to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound was superior to the proposed 100
new pence to the pound because 12 was divisible by 2 - 3 - 4 - 6 and 10 only
by 2 and 5. He was as successful in avoiding the change as you will be in
adding new base 16 characters.
