Dewey, who is ten, is eleven
I think I have finally figured this one out. They're changing the base of the math mid-phrase. Either they're going from base-10 to base-9, or base-11 to base ten.

So 10 in base-10 (which is... you know, kind of common) is (1x10^1)+(0x10^0) = 10+0 = 10
and
11 in base-9 is (1x9^1)+(1x9^0) = 9+1 = 10

Which is the same answer. ^.^

And then 10 in base-11 is (1x11^1)+(0x11^0) = 11+0 = 11
and 11 in base-10 is (1X10^1)+(1x10^0) = 10+1 = 11

HORAYS! :)

...Okay, no. It's still stupid. ^.^;

Yay! ^.^ Now I wish that were real, so that I could display it proudly on my wall, or somesuch. XD

Oh, you can always print it out and pin it to your top. XD

Now I get it - that's what taught at Arithmancy in Hogwarts! No wonder Ron and Harry didn't even try to learn it. ;->
Sadly, I haven't gone beyond proving the simplest Arithmancy equation: 0/0=12 A proof: 0x12=0. Quod erat demonstrandum. ;-p
