I had a dream where a very tiny blue crab was teaching me crab language. The first thing it taught me was that crabs count in base 3, which makes sense because of their claws. One claw closed is 1, both claws closed is 2, then opening their claws is 10.
This is important knowledge, and I expect all of you to make use of it
so if i got this right...
1 - One
2 - Two
10 - Three
11 - Four
12 - Five
20 - Six
So if crab open claws rapidly six times, leaving one closed at the end that is 61, or as we'd say 19?
