The subject says it all, is there a deca-base numbering system?

My next question, do you count deca-base as
B=10
A=10
S=10
E=10
or BASEO

Thanx for any reponse.

Sorry, but can you explain what you are talking about?

I believe a deca is 10 of each, being structure etc. Is ther a numbering system, similar to the BASE number that one can get.

Postulate a theory on why if there is such a system why you havent heard about it.
Actually, the first proposed numbering system for BASE was the Dewey Decimal Classification by Melvil Dewey in 1876 but it was overshadowed by Custer´s defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn and LIAR (Library Internationale Academia Resourcia) stole the concept and used it in libraries around the world as a way to organize books so people could find books and put them back on the shelves where they were retrieved from.
take care,

Believe it or not, Phil Smith was likely the first to ever get deca BASE. There is no one keeping those numbers to my knowledge, but I remember jumping with Smitty for 5 years in the early 80's and I remember him telling me he thought he was the first to get 10 of each. No telling how many have done it since.
