Because, if your Dan were as old as I am, then he'd be plenty nervous if
that was his number.  Now, as the representative of 54 in base 13, its a
better number than it is in base 10.  As the representative of 162 in base
40, its a still better number...in fact its a good number.  It cannot be
the representative of 402 in base 100.
