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

              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 ?

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