In Response To: Re: No Problemo... (angrymob) : If each one of those clicks is 12 hours, that means 73,000,000 (decimal) : clicks. For 56-11.333 to be up to snuff it'd have to be above base 10. : FYI, hexadecimal would work just fine - that's 90,247,987 clicks, easily : enough to be over 100,000 years. : Or, if you want to get cute: maybe it's a measure in radians swept out - if : Basis has a highly elliptical orbit, and they're near apogee, it would be : sweeping out radians mighty fast. But a full orbit might take thousands of : years. Seems unlikely, but... I could see them using hex, maybe... but with that many digits, odds are (99.96% probability) you're going to see A, B, C, D, E, or F SOMEWHERE. But hey, it's a fictional bit of data, and weird things happen with fictional bits of data. As for radians, I dunno... I suppose it's POSSIBLE, but not entirely PLAUSIBLE.
