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.
if my answer matched any of the multiple choices
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.
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.

I'm sure I could understand it, eventually. But someone would have to explain it very slowly and in small words.
I like that Cashmere. Sounds very cute.
Well, we won't talk about BCD (binary coded decimal) in here, either, then.
That sounds faboo, Cash.
Also? Binary numbers are hurting my brain. ouch.
Ahhh, that's what the clock is in. More or less. I didn't know there was a term for it.
