Not so easy to make a quick getaway when it takes 3 hours to juice up your motor, eh Brits?

Re: Maybe Base 10 is not used

Sorry, I can't think of a numbering system (assuming that the digits retain their relative value) where 5000 is double 3000. Double 3 * n^x can't be 5 * n^x (where n is an integer greater than 5).
