31 in base-8 equals 25 in base-10.
You'll ahve to figure it out from there on your own. I've said too much already.

think of is as a counting system.
What does the #11 represent in the decimal system? 1 group of 10's, 1 group of 1's.
Base 8 works the same way, 11 = 1 group of 8's and 1 group of 1's.
Convert 11 from base 8 to base 10 would be a 9

base8 base10
1 = 1
2 = 2
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 5
6 = 6
7 = 7
10 = 8
11 = 9
12 = 10
13 = 11
14 = 12
15 = 13
16 = 14
17 = 15
20 = 16
(2 8's and 0 1's)

I hope that didn't blow anyone's geek meter

Right when I was pulling into work today the song 10001110101 from Clutch came on the radio. I really like the song, but can't decide if it's because I like the music or that the title is a binary number.

Why would someone create a title with an 11-bit binary? Must not have been a true computer geek...

Yes, I like mine med-rare!!

Hammer, c'mon, if you were a true computer geek you'd know that "11-bit binary number" is redundant. Bit = BInary digiT.

:dunce

You are a better computer geek then I...I also had to look up what 0xDEADBEEF was...

 

[severine]

I don't even care enough to look it up...

BTW, Marc:

and half a bit = nibble

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila!

I'd wager not as quickly as 20 dollar bills and strip clubs.

Combined with handguns and tequila, you're approaching the theoretical speed of stupid.
