My undeniable proof that 6 x 9 = 42
You must first understand, that 6 x 9 = 42 when you are talking base 13.
For this example, we are using the following numberset: 0123456789ABC (13 digits).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2A
2B 2C 30 31 32 33 34 35 36
37 38 39 3A 3B 3C 40 41 42
The above table shows a 6x9 grid, with incrementing base 13 numbers in each box.
Or you could simply say: 42 base 13 is (in base 10) 4 x 13 + 2 = 54 = 6 x 9.
(Technically, it is (4 x 13^1) + (2 x 13^0); as you times each digit by the base^position)
Anyway, this is undeniable proof that 6 x 9 = 42
