juldeaI woke up at 8:30 today. And then at 9:30. And then at 11:30. The last one was bad because I was supposed to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
diego001 at noon downtown. So I dashed off an IM to him with my phone number and headed out. I got to our meeting point about an hour late, and 30-45 minutes later he called... We eventually did meet up and hang out for the next few hours, which was superkeen. I scared him with my ability to eat whole sugar packets (not just the sugar - the packet, paper included), he enlightened me on a very important mathematical concept (more on that below), we browsed bookstores and knifestores and generally had a grand ol' time.
So, math. Yeah. I had the very basic question of, "How can 6 times 9 (base 10) equal 42 (base 13)?" It is, of course, because 42 (b13) = 54 (b10). The problem I had was figuring out how 42 could equal 54... Something I'm a bit ashamed about not grasping, since I very easily understand how 101010 = 42... Oh well. It's obvious now.
Let's see, what else? *ponder*
Ah well, if I remember I'll just make another post. ;)
