The cool thing about numbers is that we can play in other bases. The binary system, base two, has only two digits: 0, 1. Computers perform their calculations in binary codes.
Here is your challenge for today: Using the examples below of Base Ten, Base Two, and Base Five, write the numbers from one to twenty in base 8. Ready, go!
BTW: The answer to the last challenge is in the comment section of that post.
