every base is not base ten, and i will fight you on this one.
binary is base two, or as i like to refer to it, the power of 2 base.

Ok then. In english, what would you call 4 in a base-4 system?

quad would be the formal root, so something based that, you could do a french thing where you go “half octal” you could just not use it because it’s a crime against humanity, and the joke here is dependent on the specific telling of the statement.
