1. Who’s on Base 7?

The days between Christmas and New Years are that special time when bloggers list 10 things they liked from the previous year to show off how smart they are. I am no different, so here are my 10 favorite numbers from 2010. And because my favorite number from 2010 was (spoiler alert) 7, I did my list of 10 in base 7. It wasn’t easy, there were a lot of great numbers in 2010, but not all of them could make it to the top 7, which is 10 in base 7.

10: 13, which is base 7 for 10. 10 is my base 7 10th favorite number.

6: 6, which is 6 in base 7 or 10.

5: 4 (still 4).

4: C, which is 12 in base 13. 13 was my favorite base in 2010, different from 7, which was my favorite number, although this list is in base 7. That’s also why I listed 13 is my 10th (i.e. 7th) favorite number, even though 13 is really 10, while 16 is my favorite base of 2010 (2010 is BB8 in base 13) in base 7.

3: 15 in base 7. Now I know what you’re thinking, “That’s crazy, because 15 in base 7 is the same as C in base 13!” Good observation, but I see subtle distinctions and while I like 12, I slightly prefer it as C in base 13, certainly more than than base 7′s 15.

2: 1, because it’s straight forward in any base, and I appreciate that.

1: 7. Which doesn’t exist in base 7. 7 in base 7 is 10, but 10 base 7 is not my favorite number. It’s actually my base 10 7th favorite base 7 number. If you’re confused right now, just remember this was a list of my favorite numbers told in base 7, not a list of my favorite base 7 numbers.

If you’re interested, here is the list of my 10 favorite base 7 numbers.

10: 13

9: 12

8: 11

7: 10

6: 6

5: 5

4: 4

3: 3

2: 2

1: 22, although 22 in base 7 is 13 in base 13, which I HATE because that’s confusing, even though 13 is my 10th favorite number (in base 10 or 13, but 13th favorite in base 7) in base 7.

Of course, these are just my opinions and you know what they say about opinions and thumbs (“Who’s got 10 base 2 thumbs and has an opinion? This guy!”). Feel free to let me know in the comments section what your favorite numbers were in 2010.
