The way of counting. In general, the use of the base 10, and his example remain valid for nine years.

With 9 if we are still nine more, we are the number of units on the one hand, reduce, and a double-digit increase by one. Thus, the number rises to nine again.

In the bottom 6 to look at the decimal value of 35 - in 55 expressed not come "5", but is divisible by five.
