Now instead of four in the eights place
You've got three,
'Cause you added one,
That is to say, eight, to the two,
But you can't take seven from three,
So you look at the sixty-fours...
Sixty-four? "How did sixty-four get into it?" I hear you cry!
Well, sixty-four is eight squared, don't you see?

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 6.10.0, also known as "New Caledonian lorikeet".
