Bullet Magnet, no amount of calender organisation will remove the need for a leap year... unless you just allow the seasons and months to slide out of sync. The year has a fraction of a day extra at the end. This ends up compounding until we need one extra day. Eventualy, the smaller fractions will add up and we'll need a second leap day in a single year.

Heck, even the length of a day keeps changing. Atomic clocks factor in a "leap second" since the earth's rotation is not always the same.

As far as I can tell, the value does not change regardless of the base used. While 2 appears as 10 in binary, they both still have the same value {as long as you realise one is binary}. It's possible the number wasn't translated, but somewho I doubt that.
