Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
Thanks, guys. It’s true. I’m 50. I’m still trying to decide how I feel about that. Based on past experience, I’ll have a good idea at 60 how I should have felt about being 50. :-)

I trust you will have a blessed day. I often thank God for your life and involvement in SI. You have been a blessing to me.

No, there would have to be a set of letters or symbols to take the place of 10-49, right?

If I read your question right, 50 in Base 50 would be 250.
Read “e” as to the power of:
- In base 10, the place values right to left are 10e0=1, 10e1=10, 10e2=100, 10e3=1,000, 10e4=10,000, etc.
- In base 50, the place values right to left are 50e0=1, 50e1=50, 50e2=2,500, 50e3=125,000, 50e4=6,250,000.
So 50 in Base 50 = (5 * 50) + (0 * 1) = 250 in Base 10.
All these interesting threads out there, and this is the one I actually log in to comment on. Clearly my priorities are in order. :)
EDIT: Shoot, I read your question exactly backwards. To translate a Base 10 “50” into Base 50, it would actually be 10 —> (1 * 50) + (0 * 1). And you are right that if you were 49 in base 10, you’d have to have some letter or symbol to represent that. Hexadecimal goes up to F as 15 in Base 10.

About all I remember from base system conversions is my brain basically saying “nope, not going to learn that.” Must have ‘simulated’ learning just long enough to pass a test.

Happy Belated Birthday! The bad news is that one day you will look back and say, “I was 50 then. That was young!” The good news is that day is far away!

#3: Start Thinking about Your Own Estate Planning
Nobody ever knows what is next. Fifty is probably a good time to start updating and checking your beneficiary designations. Are you certain your retirement benefits, life insurance, investment accounts, and bank and other accounts have the correct beneficiary designations? When was the last time you updated your will?
