In my opinion, this article is of extremely high quality. I am a software developer, and I could not do better. Thank you everyone for your work on this. 38.158.133.244 (talk) 04:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
I recently learned about a variant on hexadecimal called sexadecimal from Dave's Garage on YouTube. It uses the symbols K S N J F L instead of the usual A B C D E F for the digits 10–15. Sexadecimal redirects to Hexadecimal, but the former isn't really discussed on the latter. The unusual K S N J F L sequence is also mentioned on the pages for ORDVAC AND BRLESC, but without much discussion. More info — or perhaps even a new section on this page — would be nice. Dave's Garage managed to fill 22 minutes on this obscure topic. Elert (talk) 21:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
- From what I can tell, from Dave's video, he just made up the term "sexadecimal" as a cute alternative to "hexadecimal", and the word "sexadecimal" is not actually the word that was officially used for KSNJFL. -- leuce (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
- He showed a page of the ORDVAC manual which referred to sexadecimal notation in the table of contetns 71.190.177.216 (talk) 02:59, 16 May 2025 (UTC) Reply
