you are assuming the lack of a digit is a digit. didn't you just made a way to add zero on base 1?

from the "base" definition on wikipedia: "In mathematical numeral systems, the radix or base is the number of unique digits, including zero."

[mturmon → gcb0]

Hmm, the original comment of yours, to which I replied, was rather different than the one there now.
