"a" number

 

Do I win?

That's an answer to your question. It's in base 64. Translate it yourself, there are lots of them on Google. (I use http://paulschou.com/tools/xlate/)

[Psychotic Ninja]

That's asking a lot. Seriously, we shouldn't have to translate your "numbers".

Others are posting patterns and having people figure them out, but you're not complaining about them. Either accept a number gracefully in every format, or translate this current base 64 NUMBER and read it's message.

[Psychotic Ninja]

The thing is, with their patterns, I can actually tell what number it is they're posting, the only translating needed is to find the pattern. With you, I can't tell what number you've posted (even if it really is a number). I don't have to do anything to see the number, with you, I do.

No more equations for me, not for a while.

Just because you aren't capable of understanding numbers outside of a base 10 system, doesn't mean the rest of us should be restricted to decimal numerics.

Fine then, BTG.

Oh look, it's more gibberish that I call a "number", even though it's not, because base 64.

[Seattleite]

Seriously, you don't know what base 64 is, do you? These are numbers that we're using, and we're using them as a code to communicate as well.

Here's the thing, I shouldn't have to translate binary, base 64, or whatever to figure out what number you've posted. It's great and cool and all that, that you know base 64 and binary, but don't rub it in the faces of those that don't know, and don't care to translate.

If there was a "type a random word" game, I'm not going to use Al Bhed, or Klingon, or some second language, no, I'm going to use English, something that most people on here know. Not many people (on here) know base 64 or binary, and it's no fun having to constantly translate your numbers. I should be able to read your post, and understand it completely. I'm sorry BTG hates using "simple" numbers, but that doesn't mean he (or anyone) should just use complex numbers/equations, and expect others to translate, what looks like gibberish, to see what he's posted. Now, if he did it once in a while, that'll be fine, but it's annoying that he does it all the time. My friends found it annoying that I used video game references all the time, so I stopped, doing that. Even ThePest got tired of BTG always using base 64.

Hey, I'm just using it to insult him. When he stops, I'll stop.
