Excellent - but that's actually two number systems.

She didn’t specify the problem exactly enough, so in effect she was doing the old “can’t you read my mind” routine. I fail that stuff on purpose - which is probably why I’m single.

They called the police over this?? Yes. The [former] groom was charged with using a weapon of math destruction.

Math tests as the price of admission are inherently unfair.

I wonder if this was a case of the bride “asking” the groom if he was good with the arranged marriage. It could be that his math skills were a negotiated deal breaker and she was creative in giving him an out.

Not unless you change the meanings of the symbols around, i.e. mix bases as another has done, or simply reassign the values of the symbols.
But, assuming the symbols mean what they usually mean, subtract ten from 15 to get 5, and subtract ten from 17 to get 7. (This works in any base, so long as it’s the same base for both numbers.) You get the remaining addition problem 5+6=7, which has the same meaning in all bases as it does in base 10, because these are single digits being added, and getting produced, so the base doesn’t matter.

Of course he answered 17.. He was so focused on the two of them that he added it to 15 and came to the answer of 17. What a loss for her.

I used the “Diner” strategy with my wife. We were all hanging out one night, inebriated and I told my friends, with my future wife present that in order for the wedding to happen, she would need to answer a few hockey questions.
She took up the challenge.
I only asked one question. “When was the last time the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup?
She nailed it. We have been married for almost 26 years.
