It is not the wrong question.
6x9=42 in base 13!
    6  x9  =42
     13  13   13
4xthirteen+2=fifty-four=5xten+2=six x nine.
There is a reason they used Scr*bble chits: it spells numbers,
so you can't tell the base.

Obviously, DEEP THOUGHT was not HEXADECIMAL but TRIDECIMAL.
Question: do mice have 3 toes per foot? 3toesX4feet+1tail=13 to count by.
