There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and thsoe that don't.

Why do programmers get Halloween and Christmas confused? Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.

I've heard them before, I'm sure that one of them was on here before. I got them after they were explained to me and I certainly dont get it now (although the second one makes slight sense), so I cant be that geeky. I hope.

I wouldn't get wound up if I didn't Sam, it's hard essential life skills, lol.

Binary 10 = 2, because the left hand side is the 2 column and it is on as it is represented by a one, the right hand side is the one column, it's off so it makes 2. I feel sad.

I forgot I'd posted the second one before. For anyone that still doesn't get it, basically in octal 31 is the equivalent of 25 in decimal.
