OT-Warning! :-)

"9 * 6 = 42" is kind of a quote from the famous "Hitchhiker's Guide To 
The Galaxy (HHGTTG)" 5-part trilogy by Douglas N. Adams (R.I.P.).

Although the author had the intention of producing complete nonsense, 
someone found out that this multiplication is true in a number system 
with base 13... ;-)
