You call that a trick? You wanna see a trick? I'll show you a ******ing trick.

  Instead of multiplying a number by 10, just stick a zero on the end!




  Anyone who for one second tries to pretend that that is some kind of
artificial manipulation is just lying, full stop and no excuse.  Grrr!

Nonsense, that multiplies by 16 in the only numbering system that all 
right-thinking persons use.

There are only 10 types of people in the world - those who understand
binary, and those who don't.

Corollary: There are 11 types of people in this world -- those who
understand binary, whose who understand binary and cant count, and
those that dont.

  Sticking a '0' on the end multiplies any number by '10' no matter what base
system you are using; it's a fundamental constant of place notation.

  You're part of the conspiracy!  You manipulated the data by switching from
one number base to another in the middle of your argument in a spurious
attempt to discredit me!  Admit it, you're working for Big Oil!

Once people start discussing acid-base equillibria, they tend to concentrate on H and OH
ignoring counterions and all that other stuff. Didn't you realize by 16 he meant 22
as new accounting rules allow this.
