Yeah there's some part where, without explanation, Alice is multiplying stuff together that doesn't seem to make sense (I think 4x5=12 or something), except it does make sense when you translate it to base 18 instead of base 10. Also, she says "Oh I'll never get to twenty at this rate" and it was explained to me so I've forgotten some of it, but apparently if you continue with that progression (I don't know base 18) the equation begins to lapse and you can never reach 20. Or something.

So yeah, the dude was smart n shit.
