Question 59 (The Impossible Qatar '22)

Question 59 asks a pretty simple multiplication question: "What's six by nine?" The options are 54, 46, 42, and 49, and there's a 12-second bomb ticking down as well.
While six times nine is fifty-four, "54" is actually incorrect here. You may notice the question number is "4Ɛ" instead of "59"; that's because this question is actually in base-12 instead of the usual base-10! Ɛ stands for eleven, so "4Ɛ" means "four twelves, plus eleven," which equals fifty-nine. Similarly, "46" would mean "four twelves, plus six," which equals fifty-four. So, "46" is the correct answer.
== Trivia ==
* The question and the answer choice "42" are a reference to Douglas Adams's novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where it turns out the Ultimate Answer is 42, and the Ultimate Question is "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"
* The bomb is also in base-12, with twelve shown as "10," eleven as "Ɛ," and ten as "𝛘".
* This is one of the four appearances of the number 69 that you'll need to remember for Question 105.
** Although, here, "69" actually means eighty-one in base-twelve.
