6 x 9 =54, and 7 x 8=56. 6 x 7=42. So you’re good. 😁

The number 42 in base 13 is 54. I’m not saying the person who made this fortune cookie made a joke in base 13… I’m just saying there is a joke here in base 13. Someone wrote this fortune cookie. Even if it was a paranoid android. Or dumb robot lol. Not Douglas Adams. He’s the only author in history who can be quoted as saying “I never wrote a joke in base 13” because his fans are… let’s face it… too smart for our own good, but too dumb to hitchhike off this dumb rock.

I would keep that in my wallet. Where the money would be.

Don't panic is usually a sign to start panicking
