HTS logic 4

i'm on logic 4 and i need some help and i wondering if you guys have any ideas.

Christmas = Halloween

(Hint: There are NO spaces in the answer!) It's an equation

i get it since

Computer programmers work in a number of different number bases, such as binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10) and hexadecimal (base 16). To avoid confusion, they often indicate which base they are working in by prefixing their numbers with the first three letters of the base name (bin, oct, dec, hex). The decimal number 25 is 31 in octal, so Oct 31 = Dec 25.

It's actually a rather clever joke, but it's pretty much ruined if you have to explain it.

but what would the equation be

any help appreciated. thank you in advanced.

Wow, I really found that one to be amusing. but i would just convert it, i mean from what i understand you need the equation not just the answer.

no that doesn't work. i eliminated all spaces and switched it both ways. this is a logical challenge so maybe theres something i'm missing

The point of logic challenges is that you're supposed to beat them yourself, not ask others for help.

Yeah and for the most part they are all pretty simplistic anyways .

Which is why I don't understand the sheer number of copy/pasted answers I get the pleasure of reading when I check through the submissions here. I guess people don't really care about learning and just want to look 1337 to their friends. But I know where you guys keep getting your answers from, so it's best to start doing them on your own before I get ban rights. Because I'm not going to be as lenient as I have in the past (you'd get a nasty PM)

Get 'em, Fewt!
