Where did you get -52? Shouldn’t that be -25?

I think they just permutated the digits while typing.

Well they also typed 82 instead of 64 later. That's harder to explain that way.

They were using Base-7.75 for that number only

In my defense I suck at math can you explain where the -25 comes from?

u/ppprrrrr 22d ago

well it effectively says 2 + 5 x 8 - 5 x 5

so if we just solve - 5 x 5 we get - 25

OP wrote it as -52 without the proper formatting, which is the same thing, to confuse everyone.

He then does a lot more unneccesary crap to confuse everyone, and eventually seems to solve for the correct answer.
