Oh no, not again............

This question has been asked many many many times. It is cleaver of Ivan to pick this up unaided. I certainly didn't know it until I saw an interview with DNA on "Hardtalk".

It is entirely a coincidence. DNA said so on that show, and he has been quoted many times as saying "Nobody writes jokes in base 13".

If you go to this site (sorry I haven't mastered HTML yet):

You'll find the answers to all the questions you will probably think to ask, and a lot more. It is pretty neat. Check out 5.2 which is all about the question you raised. It quotes Mr Adams and everything.

Hope this helps. As I said, you're very clever to have picked up this issue all alone, but you're not the first.
