The question was "what is six times nine?".
Oddly enough 6 x 9 does equal 42 if you look at it from a certain perspective.
Just change from base 10 to base 13 as show below using bc.

Mrs. Schminkey ran some errands. She drove from the grocery store, to the video store(12 miles), and then to the dry cleaners(4 more miles). How many miles did she drive.

You guys can't read. There is no question here. The last sentence is a statement.

The correct response is, Yep.

Normally that would be the case. However the density of the equation was calculated in zolotniks per hogshead as outlined in ISO BR549. The very same method that brought us the Turbo Encabulator.
