instead of a dohickey there is a whatchamacallit,
but they're pretty handy things to use, unless you
really need a dohickey to begin with, in which case
you're better off sticking with the thingamabob. now,
if you take it to a farmer and he says, "whut the hell
is that thing?", then you can be pretty sure that dog
won't hunt, but if he gives you a dollar then put the
show on the road and you'll be home for dinner. just

Hmm Switch to base four 22[4] you won't get that confused unless you where
after ternary 22[3] which is version 8[10]. The difference between 8[10]
and 10[10] is 2[10] or two. in base two binary, 10[10] is 1010[2]. Now
1010[10] in decimal, is equal to ( 0[2] + 1[3] + 10[4] + 100[5] + 1000[6] )
times four Plus the number of letters in the English alphabet
