nice, definitely sounds like an interesting learning environment to have been part of. gotta ask though, how many hippies were involved hahaha
as for the whole base number systems i only learned that the first time i went to college as part of computer programming fundamentals, only base 2,8, and 16, but once you understand how one works you can apply it to any base number. can't imagine wrapping my head around that in grade 4 - doubt i'd be here if that were the case haha
