Graham Cooper asked that question, not me.  Please be careful to
attribute correctly in your quoting when replying.

No, Hexadecimal is base 16, not 14.  The number 16D is not equal to
10H, for 16D equates to 365 in decimal, and 10H isn't a valid number in
base 16 because the only available digits are "0123456789ABCDEF" (and if
one ignores the "H" then 10 equates to 16 in decimal).

It's also unclear how winning any number of gold medals from the
Olympic Games has any relation to any of this.

"The masses find it difficult to understand politics, their
intelligence is small, therefore all effective propaganda must be
limited to a very few points.  The masses will only remember only the
simplest ideas repeated a thousand times over, and if I approach the
masses with reasoned arguments, they will not understand me because in
the mass meeting their reasoning power is paralyzed, and so what I say
is like an order given under hypnosis."
   -- Adolf Hitler (1925)
