The new common core math everyone’s been raving about.

6 + 7 DOES equal 11 in base 12 math.

Hooray for new math: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfCJgC2zezw

Oh boy.

I don’t care what your new fangled math says. You will never be able to go faster than the speed of light in your Geo Metro by pushing the gas peddle a little harder.

The sum of six and seven equals eleven in a base twelve system (rather than base ten).

Or at least it equals “11.” Not sure you would call it eleven.
