Two right triangles share a hypotenuse. The other two sides of the first triangle are 13 and 18. The other two sides of the second triangle are 7 and 20. (Other two sides means the 2 sides of the triangle that aren't the hypotenuse). What is the length of the hypotenuse in base ten? (The given information isn't using base ten...if you didn't know).

Spoiler
length is 25 the information given is in base 12


Yea.

Not sure if someone solved this before. Here it is anyways:
If all the 10 digit numbers that have each digit once were arranged from smallest to largest, which would be the millionth number?


can 0 be the first digit?


No.

I'll assume it can't start with 0, since it would then not be 10 digit. Sould be just 1,001,000,000 1,000,000 more than the smallest 10 digit number

Nope. That would assume that it starts at 1,000,000,000 and that the next number is 1,000,000,001. However, each 10 digit number has to have each digit exactly once (maybe you skimmed over that part of the question). So, the first and second numbers would be 1,023,456,789 and 1,023,456,798.

Sorry, all my questions are like that. Other people can ask questions as well.

Here:

A barber likes illegal aliens to come to his barbershop. He told me, "I'd rather give two illegal aliens haircuts than to give a haircut to one person born here." What was the logic behind this?

Spoiler
The two illegal aliens were actually real life aliens with no hair so it's cheaper?
