octal to decimal conversion



Most of you probably saw that Carl Gaither's computer question is doubly
correct. If we remember thae March was the first month in the original
Julian calendar, October is the eighth month (octo is Latin for 8) and
December is the tenth month (decem is Latin for 10). Not only does 31
in base 8 convert to 25 in base 10 but so does October convert to
December.
