Binary :S

Recently in my studies, I’ve had to deal with binary numbers.  This is a base 2 system and comprehension of this had proved ever illusive.  Recently though I vanquished this little problem.  Even to the point where I can do simple addition.

For example

  10110 - 22
+ 11101 - 29
  -----
 110011 - 51

The numbers to the right are the decimal equivalent.

It’s actually easer than decimal once you get your head round it.

Also Happy 100th birthday to my Nan who celebrated this auspicious occasion last weekend.  I even got to see the famous ‘telegram’ from the queen.  These days of course it’s a card with a picture of her majesty.  She could have smiled though

I’ve also added another link; Environmental Graffiti.
