um, then it's not twelve. Should be just 7 + 8 = 12.

There's a difference between writing it out twelve and the numbers '12'

"12" in base 13 would be 1*13 + 2 = "15" in base 10

There doesn't have to be. My answer is technically correct, whether or not that was the answer the asker of the riddle expects.

Ah, okay, my bad. I misread it.

Whenever I'd get an answer wrong in math classes, I'd tell the teacher that I was using another number system since they didn't specify one... Never worked. Asses.

You skipped A-C. I'm very confused.

Muahahaha.... I love the base 13 bit.

Although it makes you wonder why anyone would choose base 13 doesn't it? Some special halloween unlucky number generator?
