19/52 Palindrome
Theme: Minimalist
Did you know that 2145 is a palindrome in its binary and vigesimal representation?
2145 = 10000110000 (mod 2) = 575 (mod 20)
Well, now you do!
Interesting fact about these systems: binary system is prominently used in computer programming as the machine language, which is essentially the building block of all computers we see today. Vigesimal system was used extensively by the Mayan civilization. The reason why the Mayan chose this system probably the same as why we arguably stick to decimal system today, so that we can easily count with our digits, only that they also counts with their toes!
