How does the Selenite numbering system work?

  • 1 of 10: The Selenite numbering system consists of combinations of dots and dashes -- where the dots represent "1" and the dashes represent "5".
  • 2 of 10: A single dot would represent a "1", and a single dash would represent a "5". 
  • 3 of 10: You can add multiple dots and/or dashes to a single digit, and the meaning is the sum of the dots and dashes. 
  • 4 of 10: Dashes are always displayed horizontally, and beneath any dots that make up the digit.
  • 5 of 10: Thus, a single dash with two dots on top of it represents "5 + 2", or 7.
  • 6 of 10: No digit can contain more than 3 dashes, or more than 4 dots.
  • 7 of 10: So the largest single Selenite digit would represent our number 19 (3 dashes = 15; 4 dots = 4).
  • 8 of 10: For the mathematically-minded, then, the Selenite numbering system would be said to operate in "base 20".
  • 9 of 10: While a 2-digit number in our decimal numbering system would be considered to be made up of "tens" and "ones" (e.g., 23 = two "10"s and three "1"s), a 2-digit number in the Selenite numbering system would represent "twenties" and "ones" (e.g., 23, in Selenite, would be two "20"s and three "1"s, or the equivalent of our decimal number 43).
  • 10 of 10: All math works on the same basic principals as our own decimal system, with this one difference -- i.e., the multiples of "20", instead of "10".
