New Solution:
10. A (hexadecimal) = 10
Another possible Solution could be:
1. Since A is the first letter in the alphabet
If it's
11121314
then it's too easy.

I literally cannot understand what you're saying with this answer. Both "new" and "another possible" solutions ignore the entirety of the puzzle save its final entry and focus on the letter, whose specific inclusion may indeed be relevant somehow but certainly shouldn't be the be-all-end-all of the puzzle. This is supposed to be a sequence of numbers; you've discarded the sequence entirely and just proposed a substitution of number for variable. How is this a solution to the sequence? @Tanton how is this possibly a satisfying answer?

I also have a solution
123468
because,
Think of the number to the left of the sequence as octal
Like
3(octal)= 11(binary)
6(octal)= 12(quanternary)
11(octal)= 13(Senary)
14(octal)= 14(octal)
So
361114(octal)= 123468(decimal)
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
My answer is based on the fact that A has no effect. Because A=123468 is substituted into the next formula, I can't continue to convert.

An alternate solution is:
24024
because,
generally, when you have variable names next to each other (e.g. $xy$) that would mean that you are multiplying their values (e.g. $xtimes y$).
Therefore,
you would multiply $11times12times13times14=24024$

@sypicky - That's true, but neither can you say $3=11$... This is assuming the numbers on the left are variables.

An alternate solution is:
24024
because,
generally, when you have variable names next to each other (e.g. $xy$) that would mean that you are multiplying their values (e.g. $xtimes y$).
Therefore,
you would multiply $11times12times13times14=24024$

Also a valid theory, It could be your answer is the one OP's friend was looking for!

How does this account for things like "11=13" in the question?

Maybe I'm just slow today... why did you select those numbers to multiply?

I don't think multipliers can be omitted between numbers. One example is 6÷2 (1 + 2).

@sypicky - That's true, but neither can you say $3=11$... This is assuming the numbers on the left are variables.

Based on the last but one line, A is
361114

Well if A is this number then why is 3=11 or 6=12 or 11=13?

Could the last two lines have been replaced with
361114=?
instead of adding a variable into the mix?$endgroup$
