It's cool, I went to university for computer science for a year and I still can't count with it.

Btw the octal numeral system is a lot more practical than our decadic if it comes to computers. It can be converted to binary and vice versa very easily. Not much usefull for na'vi since they don't use this technology, they have eywa that is much better .

Really? I find it way easier to convert decadic into binary than octal. Maybe it's just because I had way, way more practice doing that though, we didn't use octal extensively.
