Guess That Number System!

How It Works:

You get to see a list with the decimal notation next to it, and then have to guess what the rule for the numbers is.

0 example 0
1 example 1
2 example 2
3 example 3
4 example 4
5 example 5
6 example 6
7 example 7
8 example 8
9 example 9
10 example a
11 example b
12 example c
13 example d
14 example e
15 example f
16 example g
17 example h
18 example i
19 example j
20 example k
21 example l
22 example m
23 example n
