As the video states, it's actually from a linguistics Olympiad paper from Brazil. Nonetheless, it's useful for teaching the concept of non-decimal bases.
Question at 9:33 way is the second problem written like that, should it not be 0 x (400 +20+10) = 0. Why does the 20 to the second power get skipped if there are only three numbers?
Used this as a practice sheet to do math this way and jesus is it easy

@@DavesMathVideos I was using it to practice reading numbers in mayan/this linguistic method
@@DavesMathVideos artifexian released a video about this a while back. It looked tempting to study. Its titled "a better number system" iirc
@@orivalx Yeah but the system isn't actually better when you delve deeper.
@@gamerpedia1535 what would be the problem?
This is eerily similar to the base-24 number system I've been test-running.
How did it turn out?

dear thats because the horizontal lines are measuring up to 10 so he had to multiply 10 with 1 then 10 with 20 than 10 with 400
