@CuriousCat @kityates nor me! I thought it was maybe 31 octagons = 25 decagons, but not quite! 🤔

Well as I had to google for it, here you go :

short :
"Because Oct 31 represents the octal (base 8) number 31, which, when converted to decimal, is 25. Dec 25 is short for Decimal 25, thus the two are equal."

@johannbourquenez @kityates thank you. At first I thought I was being dense, but remembered that if I don't understand, there are always others like me.
