Pi is 10 in base-pi

EDIT: 10, not 1

I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I'll point out it is incorrect.

In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi

Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.

That's pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you're using for the coefficients.
