Not really, it's 1 and 1.66(6) (you never listen to the 3rd option).
Also, for e.g. 1000:
in base 3 a lot of 7th level menus will contain less than 3 choices,
while in base 2 almost all of 10th level menus will contain 2choices.
- madcaptenor 17y agoYou never listen to the third option? You seem to be assuming that these menu systems are sufficiently well designed that if you hear "1" and "2" and what you want is neither of them, you can just blindly press "3". This is almost never the case.
