1*2
Some other arguments for base 16:
It's 1 more than a multiple of 5, so 1/5 is a single digit (.3) repeating, and you can sum the digits to check if a number is divisible by 5.
It's 1 more than a multiple of 3, so 1/3 is a single digit (.5) repeating, and you can sum the digits to check if a number is divisible by 3.
It's a power of 2, so dividing by and multiplying by 2 is way easier, and fractions involving powers of 2 are way easier.Who said that?

... It's also the lowest number we've gotten so far.
... and the least number-y number, which is surprising considering {{},{{}},{{},{{}}},{{},{{}},{{},{{}}}}}

1*2^3
Hey you may not like it but that set is what the natural number 4 truly is. Most people work around it and just call it "4" without bothering to ask what 4 means. Well {{},{{}},{{},{{}}},{{},{{}},{{},{{}}}}} is what it means. (Well, that's what it means when it's a natural number. If it's an integer it means the ordered pair (4,+). If it's a rational it means the equivalence class of all ordered pairs of integers (a,b) such that 4a=b and b != 0. If it's a real number it means the partition of the rationals into numbers less than 4 and numbers greater than or equal to 4. But here we're counting using rationals so 4 means {{},{{}},{{},{{}}},{{},{{}},{{},{{}}}}}.)In post 17228, Zyla wrote:
