So 93-25 would be sounded out as "five more to three tens, six tens more to nine tens and then three more, making a total of six tens and eight'. The technique works for any radix - 0x3c would be "three sixteens and twelve'.
I imagine this would work very well for systems with multiple bases, like pounds-shillings-pence, days-hours-minutes-seconds. Does it?
My mental model for arithmetic is a clock face, which is very clumsy in base 10 (and worse in base 16!)
Thanks for sharing this subbuk
