Clark said...: Well, yes and no.

Every base is base "10" in that base, but not base "ten". The joke works when written, but not when spoken. Provided the astronaut and the alien can speak the same language, they ought to both be calling it "four". They'll only have problems when the try to write it down.; December 12, 2008 at 5:53 PM
