Ah right. My mistake. It would be five and sixty thousand ... Yuck!

I guess this is exactly what we're talking about---mistakes because you are not natively familiar with a particular system, and then you miss the non-base case. For me, I got the tens digit right but not the ten thousands digit.

In the memory case, it's knowing to change a pointer location because an address to a 32-bit value will start or end at a different address than a 64-bit value.
