Heh, Bitches has turned into Binary 101. Sorry, Binary 1100101.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Each column of binary is double of the one to the right, correct? As in 1's, 2's, 4's, 8's etc?
edit: no, that won't work . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, that's right. billytea's number is 1+0+4+0+0+32+64 = 101 in base 10.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yes, it does. 64+32+0+0+4+1=101

Meanwhile, brains continue to explode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Teppy, the whole thing was like three years ago.
If it's any help, Gud had this whole egg crate metaphor.

I missed a column, I had the last column as 128.
I think I pulled a brain cell.
edit: I feel like a complete fraud at math, I never use the proper methods. When I did the math section of the SATs, I'd fumble my way through the problems, see if my answer matched any of the multiple choices--god bless multiple choice--and use the one that was closest. Or I'd plug in the choices until I got one that worked. It was a continuous case of "Wow, my answer matches one of those! I hope it's the right one."

Each digit takes you up a power of two (so, a doubling) (in base 10, it's powers of ten). I'm used to base 2 and base 16; I never worked much in base 8 so I can't do it fast.

Ah. When I write multiple-choice tests, I include the right answer, one clearly wrong answer, and three answers that fit the most common errors for the question.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm trying to design an apron with my friend from Columbus. Black with ruffles and a logo that says, "Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies. Made Fresh Daily." With a pie with a knife cutting into it and the quote, "Worst pies in London."
Possibly with a small, ruffled pocket that looks like it's dripping blood.
