Re: MATHEMATICs???? - Celepharn - 01-24-2011

Unless this is a joke, having a base 12 counting system will give you this result.

If it's base twelve, then 12 would equal fourteen in base 10.

the roman numeral of 7 is
vII
and the roman numeral of 12 is XII
making
VII
+
^II
_____
XII
roman numerals can be very useful in situtations(they are used in superbowlsand other places
I=1
V=5
X=10
L=50
C=100
D=500
M=1000
bythe way the littles is come together to make big ones and v

In base 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
7 + 7 = 14
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
7+7 = 12
2 times the 6th number = the 12th number

7+7=12 in base 12.
12 in base12 = 1 X 12^1 + 2 X 12^0 (base 10)
= 1 X 12 + 2 X 1 (base 10)
= 12 + 2 (base 10)
12 (base 12) = 14 (base 10)
NOTE: 12^1 = 12
12^0 = 1 (any number raised to the zero power equals 1)
Re: MATHEMATICs???? - Tessie4 - 01-24-2011
