Damn you America, get it right:
It's 11-11-11, not 11-11-11!

I read somewhere, that way back when, we used our hand to count on and that is counting in base 5 which would translate 11-11-11  into  6-6-6  :P

It that correct cuz counting in base always made me throw pencils at the teacher  :d

Unfortunately it would be 21-21-21, no #6 in base five  ;)

I think you are at cross purposes
11 in base 5, is 1 x 5 + 1 x 1, which is 6 (in base 10)
21 in base 5, is 2 x 5 + 1 x 1, which is 11 (in base 10)

I'm confused....Where's base 5 ?
I've been checking on the diagrams and there's first base, second base, third base and the home plate.
Weird !

Cheers - Phil.

Well, if we use Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" as our road-map, then fifth base would probably get you arrested in many parts of the USA!  @-)  X_X  ;)
