Hex isn't base 6

[Nickster258]

To that one guy a few days ago in chat that said Hex was base 6, you're wrong. Base 6 is Sernary, sometimes know as Heximal, while base 16 is Hexadecimal, sometimes know as Hex. So check yo facts before you confuse guests.

I'm pretty sure the one who said hexadecimal was base 6 was either drunk/high/typo. Hex (six) and decimal (ten) means hexadecimal. It only makes logical sense.

Also, we say "hex" to conserve on chat length and ease of typing it. Hex (base 6) is almost useless while hexadecimal is what we care about.
