paper is patient

base 4 has just 4 digits: 0,1,2,3

so counting goes likes this:

0 1 2 3 10 11 12 13 20 and so on.

since what we call 4 is written as 10 to the alien, the alien calls base 4 base 10

right? i can’t believe i never clocked this. how exceptionalist that the base number is base 10 /j
