: Which implementations produce 11112? Every one that I see that displays 7 ⊗ 16 has 112 for the result. Unless you are including the 7 ⊗ 15 result (11) in there? --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 21:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC) |

Task description error?
The task description asserts:
- the nim-product of a Fermat power (22k) and a smaller number is their ordinary product
But 16 is a fermat power and inspecting implementations here, I see that they would produce 11112 as the result for 7 ⊗ 16
(Also, the definitions require reasoning about infinities of negative numbers but the task includes no discussion of how that is handled.)
