““In our current number system, if you multiply 111,111,111 by itself, you get the rather pleasing 12,345,678,987,654,321 (all the digits count up from 1 to 9 and then back down again). It works for small runs of 1s as well: 11,111 × 11,111 = 123,454,321; and 111 × 111 = 12,321. Try writing down numbers in a different way, though, and the pattern evaporates.””
