Yay 42! I have to make a “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” reference!
“Six by nine. Forty two.”
But I know how that sentence is true! Answer Saturday.

Base 13!
6X9 = 42 in base 13 and we can show this simply by using addition:
(Remember base 13 is basically every 13th digit means that the tens place increases one)
9+9 = 15
15+9 = 21
21+9 = 2A (Using A as the tenth digit in base 13)
2A+9 = 37
37+9 = 42!
Douglas Adams commented on this saying, “I may be a sorry case, but I don’t write jokes in base 13.”
