Indeed. You can just think of finding that number as counting up from zero the decimal number of times with the digit set of the format you want it. For example, the digit set of duodecimal is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B , soto count to decimal 17 you would need to go through 17 numbers other than 0, ie 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,10,11,12,13,14,15. BGS's method is actually the same thing, but it is much quicker to do because it uses the fact that dividing will leave you with the number in the largest 'column' used.

That video was great!

I hope it isn't based on NoE forum activity... I visit that forum at most five times a year, but log on to the main site daily.

I don't think so. If someone who's not using broadband sees a thread where the title means there will inherently be a fair few images in the thread, they should be ready.

I am able to go to the Good Food Show in London, but it costs £15 to get in. I doubt I'll go, unless the Wii booth is outside of the main show.

I can't afford a (good-ish) surround sound kit, so I'm just using my TV's speakers which I'm perfectly happy with right now.

I'm actually quite excited about Wii Sports because it looks quite... fun. It is in no way going to eclipse LoZ or SMB, but I'll probably play it with friends a fair bit.

Serves 'im jolly well right.

Very good indeed...

I don't think it's the best box ever, but I still like it. Then again, my school colour is pink...

I'm probably not going to play Zelda first. I want to get used to using the Remote first, so I'll probably play Wii Sports for a while and then get into Zelda.

I just started playing it again (on the GC disc that game with WW) this morning for about an hour, and am just up to the castle. I've been meaning to play it again for so long, and now that I have plenty of free time to play it I can.

I'm wondering just how popular the Wii will be at launch. I've got the green light to go at midnight to my local Gamestation (Chiswick), but am wondering how early to get there. Will 20:00 do?

The other discussions were much better than this.

I go to game occasionally, but prefer Gamestation. It feels more independent, even though it isn't. I returned one game to Game once to take advantage of a super-cool deal. There was a deal whereby you swapped four games for any console for a new game for that console, and I wanted Animal Crossing as my new game. Sadly, Animal Crossing came out a week after the deal ended, but I could still 'win' Game: First of all, I bought the four cheapest second hand GameCube games in Gamestation, for a grand total of about £15. Then, I swapped them for 1080°: Avalanche. A week later I came back, and swapped the game for animal Crossing, no questions asked. 'Brillo'.

I won't wait until it's full up, but I'll wait until I have only 60MB or so left. I wouldn't want to have to be told my game wouldn't download fully unless I cleared some space, and have to run out to a shop to buy an SD card.

I'm getting three games at launch, which will most likely all be launch games: LoZ: TP Wii Play SMB: BB

When did you preorder?

I'll be using Wifi. I've had no problems whatsoever using it with my DS, but if needs be I'll get an Ethernet cable over a new router.

I want to go to the midnight launch in London, but my mother isn't letting me. I'll just pick it up from my local Gamestation (where I have it preordered) straight after school.

Also, if I chose to buy an SD card, I'd probably choose one of the Nintendo ones which are bound to come out.

I've spent far too many hours in Nando's filling myself up with drinks (and of course some chicken and chips) with friends. Good times, good times.

I sent the email, and hope Nintendo do this. They replied:

I started watching at about 70 and watched until 50. I enjoyed it, but felt some of the cartoons (like Top Cat) should have come higher than the 50s and 60s.
