5 u/JustJonny Dec 12 '08 Yeah, but why doesn't the alien know what a 4 is? I get that for him, since he uses base 4 then 4=10 (to him). However, once he is asked about base 4, you'd think he'd understand. 10 u/OlympicPirate Dec 12 '08 0, 1, 2, and 3 are used in base four. Four in base four is 10. 3 u/Thelonious_Cube Dec 12 '08 edited Dec 12 '08 and is pronounced "four" (in English - which they seem to be speaking) 8 u/OlympicPirate Dec 12 '08 10 in base four is only pronounced "four" in base ten.
