I'd thought you might say that. Still, "base 35, where digits above 9 are written using letters A - Z" seems clearly intended to mean the value 10 is expressed using A, 11 with B, 12 with C, and so on without skipping letters to Z. You're backtracking. An gentleman would at least blame the help.

It's been five years since I studied Maths, meaning eight years since I last saw bases. Checking my transcipt, I find I made dismal grades in everything except Intro to Logic and Proof. Lately, I'm even embarrassed about that.
