      It’s not possible because that’s 16 digits.

            Seems to be correct, I was thinking of a different card in my wallet.

            Ahem I mean I fancypants McGee have the 16 element identity permutation for my card number!

            Everything is in base 10 (unless it’s in unary).

                I’d personally enjoy it if it was you doing the debasing

            What if they are generated in base 16, but numbers containing a-f are discarded. Did you think about that? Huh?

              Yes. The check digit is calculated using base 10

          Please tell me base 16 isn’t trying to hex-a-decimal
