So you take Chuzz's side, two of you against me? Well, you know what they say: two wrongs don't make a right! <vbg> But I think you and Chuzz show a very anthrocentric view of the universe. I have no idea what if any life is "out there," but I know it won't speak English, and I have serious doubts whether its math will look anything like ours. But any further discussion seems pointless since I won't persuade you and you won't persuade me. I succeeded in showing Chuzz a valid equation where 2 + 2 did NOT equal 4. He wanted to try to persuade me that 11 and 4 were the same, but I ain't buying! As to what dolphin, or Martian (not that I believe there are Martians per say, but standing in for the concept of whatever alien life forms there may be -- sort of like the X in an algebraic equation <g>) mathematics may be like. But I suspect they will be quite different from ours. Who knows. Maybe in our lifetime we'll find out.

Four base ten and 11 base three aren't the same thing. They signify the same thing but they are different in expression. And IV doesn't fit at all, they stick that into your veins and pollute your life blood.
