10010101 or 0010101101110

01010101111001010101011 010.

00111100 00101000 00101000 00101101 00101101 00111100

What odd numbers to choose. Neither has any significance.

do you speak binary?




hehe, on second thought, neither do i :shrug: :silly:

:P

Now, an interesting one would be:

001010011010

or maybe

001111100101

or perhaps even

000010001011

my bluff has been called :cry:


so what do those numbers translate too? :shrug:

You posted something like 149 and 1390. 149 is almost interesting, but it would need to be 139 to be cool.

The numbers I chose were, in order:

666 (the number of the beast)

997 (the largest 3 digit prime number)

139 (the smallest 3 digit prime number; and also happens to be a 3 digit number in which the middle digit is the geometric mean of the other two digits)

haven't the faintest as to how you go from binary to real numbers :shrug:

binary numbers ARE real numbers. You likely meant to say "decimal numbers".

You read 'em just like reading decimal numbers, except that in place of each digit being a power of ten, it's a power of two.

So 1 is 01 (0*2 + 1*1)
2 is 10 (1*2 + 0*1)
3 is 11 (1*2+1*1)
and 4 is 100 (1*4+0*2+0*1)
and 8 is 1000
and 16 is 10000

etc. etc. etc.

It's the same way that decimal works. It becomes unwieldly because to do a larger number like 1024 take a lot of digits: 10000000000

And the way all number systems work: hexidecimal is base 16, so you have every digit place as a power of 16; and since we don't have 16 digits to work with, we use 0-9 and A-F.

So, 1 is still 01
But 10 is now 0A

15 is E

256 is 100

and the aforementioned 666 becomes 29A in hex. Hexidecimal is nice because it doesn't take as many digits to write large numbers. 1024 is 400.

Octal is base 8, and so on and so on and so on.

;)

Though I don't program any more. Well, not much. Not for real, anyway.

Every poll needs a 00000011rd choice!

Sorry, I only speak hexadecimal
