What happens when you write a number sequence in a different base system and then read the digits as if they were base-10? Surprising patterns appear. Many of these patterns connect back to the original sequence. You take the first thirty terms of figurate number sequences. Then you translate each term into bases 2 through 20 using a spreadsheet. You read the translated digits as base-10 numbers and scan the results for repeating patterns. Twenty different patterns emerge across the bases. Most relate to the sequences that created them. Some patterns even connect sequences that seem unrelated at first.
