How many sides does a hexagon have?
[ObComputers] The original, *correct* name for the base-sixteen
number system is "sexadecimal." IBM couldn't stand this name for
obvious reasons, so they came up with "hexadecimal" to replace it.
And also from Chad:
>Three score?? Wouldn't that be 636?
Remember Lincoln's "Fourscore and seven years ago...?" That was
in 1863. Lincoln was (disingenuously) tying the birth of the
Republic to the 1776 Declaration of Independence.
Incidentally, I'm morally certain I've also seen the Number
translated as 616, but I can't find a reference anywhere.
