Here is a problem for Physfitfreak:
 Of all the number bases, both rational (integer) and irrational,
which one is optimal for expressing numbers?
 By optimal, it is meant the base that requires the least digits
(on average) to express all numbers.
 It is an interesting problems and directly related to computer
architecture and hence to GNU/Linux because GNU/Linux is the only
OS that does not eschew computing fundamentals.
 The unavoidable lurkers can only gawk briefly with their mouths
hanging open, shrug, and then return to their demented games.
 Lurkers are lackeys.
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
 

In an absolute way? Disregarding unrelated limitations?
Then that base would be infinity :) Then any real and complex number will be expressed in just one digit :)
