re: base 5? | Comment 10 of 15 |
(In reply to base 5? by Aaron)

I was thinking of a number system in another base (although I was thinking base 4), which is why I had put the rows of 'symbols' right-aligned. That way, the values in each column would carry the same 'weight,' just as right-aligning normal decimal values would put all the ones into a column, the tens places into a column, etc. Gamer's comment seemed to indicate that my last arrangement wouldn't be helpful, so I'm guessing that some base-n number system isn't the answer.
Also, I would hope the symbols have more meaning than straight substitution for digits.
In any case, I don't see a pattern in the numbers you have listed, and I would be disappointed if that's all there was to the solution..
