Sorry I haven't been around to answer.

Simple explanation, someone who feels like given the big spill can do it later.

Open calc, and switch to scientific mode.

Put it in "oct" mode, and type "31."

Now switch to "dec" and it equals "25."

Wouldn't any joke lose its humor if we have to go through gyrations like this to understand it?
