Wouter,
I am not certain if it's a good idea to learn such small creatures about a
virtual life.
When my son was 11 he went to buy three cakes. I asked him how many he paid
for and he answered saying 10.
It could be a good value in radix 3 but we use still a decimal system. When
I told him he paid probably much because 10 isn't divided by 3 he stood in
astonish... "How you were able to figure this so quickly" he asked...

Actually my sister has a degree as teacher for 5-12 y kids and one of
the things she was trained in was to learn kids count and calculate in
different radixes, like counting: 8, 9, bang, kwak, 1-0, 1-2, .... 1-8,
1-9, 1-bang, 1-kwak, 2-0 etc. Don't take anything for granted in the
modern world!
