    Because 24 base ten is equal to 30 base 8. Proof: 2 * 10 + 4 = 3 * 8 + 0 = 24 Kind regards, Tim

      24th December, 30th October. 24 Decimal = 30 Octal. ( Octal is a base 8 number system ) Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

        I was just re-reading the days posts after getting home from work, and I HAD to reply when I saw the title. Did it say that before, or did you change it ?

              Yeah, I changed it. I was looking up at the screen at one point and noticed I was the fourth Why, then the song title jumped into my head. I just couldn't help myself.

                  Isn't Christmas on the 25th and Halloween on the 31st? 25dc = 31oc? Still searching for something witty to place here.
