Math Geeks: the NEW and IMPROVED base convertor! V.3!
I have finally figured out how to convert numbers to bases above 10!
I have tried to make it a base 36 under convert to base 36 under, but because letters can be caps, the best I can do is base 10 under converts to base 36 under.
This baby converts with lightning speed. But for your safety: It is capable of spelling out swear words if you enter the right digits and the right bases. use at your own risk.
I want to see at least some people luv-it'ing this: it took a LONG time to figure out.
so without further ado, here is the link to epicness XD:

very nice, Molybdenum! I see that like me, you also know how to convert bases by hand!
And remember everybody:
when gf clicked
if <(epic)=(you)>
forever
go to [luv-it button]
end
else
say [U fail] for (∞) secs

well, I wanted that, except for the fact that I don't know how to make Scratch recognize letters and convert them to base 10.

Hmm... I haven't found the need for somthing like that, so I don't have any ideas for it...
And the BOB4 was converted with the help of Wolfram|Alpha (wolframalpha.com). But I can do it by hand (if the numbers are small).

I know. But its (((11*36+24)*36)+11)*36+6. A bit long/big, isn't it?
And yes, I did mean BOB6. (New scratchers don't have an edit button 
)
