A hex calculator. It's used in computing code a lot. Not that I'm clued up on it, it's more for breaking down long sums to take less computing power for the same outcome. AI uses a load of it. Hence eventually beating the world's master at the world's hardest game. The Chinese game of 'go'.

Ha'p'ny, thre'p'ny bit and a tanner spring more to mind......giving you elevenpence ha'p'ny collectively...... if you include the two pennies for the bus fare.Tuppence, Ha'pence Threepence, sixpence, that was the old way to call it pence even though in accounting it was d. for denares/denarius
Octal, not octan.
But did your "lady" friend steal your mobile and wallet?Ha! if you think that's bad, try Thailand
I worked in Asia for eight years and once bought ten fasteners at 10 Baht each from a small shop. I was bemused to see the cashier get out the calculator, presumably to multiply ten by ten.
I overestimated her. The actual calculation done was 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10. I'm not making this up. I so wanted her to mis-key and charge me 90 Baht.
Yes, and I too grew up doing, in primary school, stuff like a shopper buys five apples at 7d each, how much change from a ten bob note? Then divide £122 7s & 8d between seven people, giving your answer to the nearest grain. Or something like that.
Was always the L s d ..bit that caught my eye , but I'm no politician!Tuppence, Ha'pence Threepence, sixpence, that was the old way to call it pence even though in accounting it was d. for denares/denarius
