101010

Sign in to disble this ad
Tomorrow is the 10th of October 2010, and this can of course be written 10-10-10, regardless of whether you use the sensible dd/mm/yy format or the rather illogical mm/dd/yy.

Curiously enough, 101010 in binary is equal to the decimal number of 42, which is of course the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything.

There may be a point to this thread, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.

Maybe you're trying to say, "so long, and thanks for all the fish."...?

That depends on whether you're big-endian or little-endian.

It might just equal 24.

...or 46.

There 10 kinds of people in the world - those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Maybe a good day to learn how to fly?

I mean, miss the ground! Would be a pretty cool trick to do at a show!

Yeah, but the question was "What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?"

See? There's something fundamentally wrong with the universe!
