    It's easy to convert numbers of base 3 to base ten. You simply multiply each digit by the appropriate power of the base and add up the results. For example, the base three number 2201 = 2 × 33 + 2 × 32 + 0 × 31 + 1 × 30 = 73. It is also fairly simple to obtain a base three number from a base ten number by dividing the number by three, generating a digit from the remainder, and repeating the process with the integer of the quotient to obtain successive digits. For example, we could reverse the example shown above (R stands for remainder):

    73 ÷ 3 = 24 R 1
    24 ÷ 3 = 8 R 0
    8 ÷ 3 = 2 R 2
    2 ÷ 3 = 0 R 2

    The base ten number 73 is thus converted back to the base three number 2201.

    Therefore if we were using base 3 then the resultant confusion would be astronomical as most of our members are either drunk or totally spaced out when posting
