The answer to THE QUESTION
I have had this for years. The answer to life, the universe and everything is that the Universe is in Base 13. When Arthur makes the scrabble set and draws out the question 'what is six times nine'. Six times nine is 54. In base 13, 54 is 42 in base 10. 4x13 and 2 units Six times nine is 42 in base 13. I cannot see how this could be any different. Douglas, if you read this please can you put me out of my misery?Conversations
