I feel a song coming on.

... plus I have to comment 3X4=11 in base eleven. Recall the doctrine is that numerals name the numbers, and the base specification using digits is always base ten, so it would be correct to read "3X4=11 in base 11" as "three times four equals twelve in base eleven", 'course then, three times four is always twelve anyway! Like, DUH!
