Read input (as command-line argument or stdin) as a full stop symbol (.) followed by a series of octal characters. Convert this number (which is between 0 and 1) to a mixed-radix notation(based on pi) where the radices of each digit are that of each (base 10) digit of pi after the decimal point in hexadecimal + 16. The output should be represented using digits 0-9 and the first (radix - 10) lowercase English letters.

Round the output for its length to be twice the length of the input (excluding any periods).

Examples:

Input: .1 Output: .23. The first digit is in base 17, and the second in base 20.

Input: .000 Output: .000000

All answers must correctly report the conversion of .14155 in their answer

Is this a code-trolling question? Then you should add a disclaimer. If it is not, then remove the code-trolling tag. –  ProgramFOX Jan 13 at 18:13
 
@ProgramFOX Ah, sorry, I was looking for code-challenge but must have hit upon a failure of my ability to operate a suggestion dropdown. –  hexafraction Jan 13 at 18:15
 
If the question is a popularity-contest, then it should not be tagged code-challenge because in a popularity contest, the highest voted answer wins, but in a code-challenge, you should specify a scoring algorithm. –  ProgramFOX Jan 13 at 18:18
 
@ProgramFOX Sorry, new here. I just had the idea floating around one day when I came across this site. –  hexafraction Jan 13 at 18:19
 
"the radices of each digit are that of each (base 10) digit of pi after the decimal point in hexadecimal + 16" ??! –  Peter Taylor Jan 13 at 19:13
