I should add that there isn't percent in Pony numbers. Instead, it's perchit. Fifsy-five chits equal one bit. And I'm glad you like it! I had to make lots of worldbuilding, conversions, and whatnot
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
I WAS WAITING for another Base 6 fan EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Honestly, it's great, not so great for bigger numbers but easier to understand and you can count all the way up to Fifsy-five in both your hands. Which is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than base 10. I still think in base 10 and still do math in base 10 even though I know it's stupid

Well it's hard to move on from something you've done your whole life and know that no matter what you do it's not gonna do much anyways but it's really fun to play with.
I was using base five as a plot point in a story I was working on but I like the way you named the new numbers way more. Can I steal this?
