Hello, well, this is not new, a certain guy in France invented something to pronounce hexadecimal number, called base bibi-binaire, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syst%C3%A8me_Bibi-binaire The author is Boby Lapointe, mostly known for singing and not mathematics, he appeared in this film : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcrdt_bobby-lapointe-framboise_news singing a very funny song about 'framboise' the nick name of his friend Françoise. but this is another story. He patented his findings in 1968, I could not find a proper translation for the original article, sorry. Best regards, Simon Plouffe 2015-04-23 6:40 GMT+02:00 Thane Plambeck <tplambeck@gmail.com>:
Scroll down to the bottom for the proposal itself, although the video is good, too.
But surely someone's done something like this before?
