In Response To: senary spinoffs (Don Thompson)

Thanks, Don. Really fascinating.

As a rank beginner at Naccel, I considered converting all my thinking into base-6. But Naccel is only a pseudo-senary system, insomuch as the Super tally is expressed in decimal while the "extras" are expressed in senary. So given the considerable challenge implicit in overturning my long-nurtured cluster-counting habits, I've decided to stick with Naccel in its pure form so I can entrench Nack's examples. Once I've mastered the system, I may start thinking about N7 (decimal) as N11 (senary), since I suspect there are a host of hidden benefits in really getting to grips with senary as it manifests over the backgammon board.
