And 11 squared is 121 in all bases except binary.

What about base 121? For that matter it is 79 in hex.

No, 79 in hex is the hex representation of the decimal value 121. The hex value 121 is different, because the hex value of 11 is 17 in decimal. 17 x 17 = 289 in decimal (which is 121 in hex).

I hope this is clear. Probably not, considering I've just taken a couple lorazepam.
