> How does the Base-10 version differ from normal counting in Base 8?
Janko wanted to have the numbers from 1 to 10. In the first example, the first number is base-8 that's why it's only from 1-7 and then 10 (I don't know anymore what I've written :( ). If you look closeley, in the second example the word for base-8 "10" is the same as the word for base- 10 "eight". 9(10) is because of that 10(8)+1(8), 10(10) is 10(8)+2(8). Hope you understand now what I mean... sorry for confusion. Carsten
