Ariel, everyone knows that there 10 types of people that understand binary. Those that do and those that don't

I get bored in binary after about, erm, 8 or 9

(does 01 count as 1, or does it start at 1 with 1?)

Lets see you do the number 26 then. Post pics.

Using the right hand........

What?
?Where's the 100 and the 1000?

(I obviously wasn't paying as much attention in Maths 40 years ago, as I thought ... LOL)

And so on...

Thank you Colin, you have almost entirely filled my [knowledge] gap

Obviously it was beyond me even in those early days.

I understood the 0 = off and 1 = on concept, but thats about all.

But why are there minus 0's in the 16 space (and not anywhere else)?

(and is there a 32 space when all the 16 spaces are is filled, etc. etc.,

the minus was to pad out the space, to make it inline with the column numbers....

Although you can do minus number in binary however there is no point adding more complexity.

And yes, once you have got all 1's you add on another 'bit' to let you go larger:

16 8 4 2 1
>1 1 1 1 1 = 31 (16+8+4+2+1) So 16 is on, 8 is on, 4 is on, 2 is on and 1 is on. Add all of these together and you get the value.

32 16 8 4 2 1
>1 0 0 0 0 0 = 32 (32+0+0+0+0+0) Here, 32 is on, everything else is off; so the value represented here is 32.

You add up all the numbers that are 'on'.

Normally you use 8 bits as this is called one 'byte', and yes; 4 bits are called a 'nibble'

This has been quite educational , can I now partake in binary jokes in the future?

I skipped the binary chapter in the 11+ study book.

Hi

To go with the above, 4 bits (being a nibble) gives a number between 0 and 15 which is a hexadecimal number, hence why hex is commonly use (8 bits will give you a hex number between 00 and FF).
