Is it appropriate to enter a sequence consisting of the representation of a
number in a base other than 10, if the number is naturally expressed in that
base? I've been working on some numbers related to Gosper Island, which is
inhabited by flowsnakes. The boundary of Gosper Island is generated by breaking
a segment (a side of a hexagon) in three pieces and bending it, then breaking
them each in three pieces, and so on. So a distance along the perimeter is
naturally expressed in base 3.
