Answer
Now
that
actually
is
not
the
answer
that
I
had
in
mind
because
the
book
that
I
got
this
problem
out
of
wants
you
to
do
it
in
base
eight
But
don't
panic
Base
eight
is
just
like
base
ten
really
If
you're
missing
Answer
two
fingers
Shall
we
have
a
go
at
it
Hang
on
You
can't
take
three
from
two
two
is
less
than
three
so
you
look
at
the
four
in
the
eights
place
Now
that's
really
four
eights
so
you
make
it
three
eights
regroup
Answer
and
you
change
an
eight
to
eight
ones
and
you
add
to
the
two
and
you
get
one
two
base
eight
which
is
ten
base
ten
and
you
take
away
three
that's
seven
Okay
Now
instead
of
four
in
the
eights
place
you've
got
Answer
three
'cause
you
added
one
that
is
to
say
eight
to
the
two
but
you
can't
take
seven
from
three
so
you
look
at
the
sixty-fours
64
How
did
64
get
into
it
I
hear
you
cry
Well
64
is
eight
squared
don't
you
Answer
see
Well
you
ask
a
silly
question
you
get
a
silly
answer
From
the
three
you
then
use
one
to
make
eight
ones
you
add
those
ones
to
the
three
and
you
get
one
three
base
eight
Or
in
other
words
in
base
ten
Answer
you
have
eleven
and
you
take
away
seven
and
seven
from
eleven
is
four
Now
go
back
to
the
sixty-fours
You're
left
with
two
and
you
take
away
one
from
two
and
that
leaves
Now
lets
not
always
see
the
same
hands
One
that's
Answer
right
Whoever
got
one
can
stay
after
the
show
and
clean
the
erasers
Hooray
for
New
Math
New
hoo
hoo
math
It
won't
do
you
a
bit
of
good
to
review
math
it's
so
simple
so
very
simple
that
only
a
child
can
do
Answer
it
Come
back
tomorrow
night
we're
gonna
do
fractions
You
know
I've
often
thought
I'd
like
to
write
a
mathematics
textbook
some
day
because
I
have
a
title
that
I
know
will
sell
a
million
coppies
I'm
gonna
call
it
Tropic
of
Calculus
