I would block the boulder's path by jamming Trigger's Broom in the tracks.

Those bananas in the bottom pic definitely look edible to me. They taste better slightly overripe too.

You disagree because you don't understand how number bases work.

It's not fundamentally easier to do calculations in base 10. It's only easier for us because that's what we learn as children.

If our number system was based on a superior base, like dozenal or senary, we would be able to do calculations on that base easily and would find working in tens awkward.

Base 6 however is perfect for 2 hands with 5 fingers each. You can easily represent the six possible digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 on each hand, and can therefore comfortably count to 55 (decimal 35) with two hands, using our familiar place-value numeral system.
