You May Be A Geek If: This makes sense to you

42 in hexadecimal. isn’t that a lot?

I understand it, and I’m a long way from Geek. A=10, 10=16.

Dec 42 = Hx A2 but then Hx 42 = Dec 66 for those of you that who give a care.Octal values upon request.

A few years ago I dropped 30 pounds on the Weightwatchers Points system. Back then Points were based mainly on calories with a penalty for fat and a bonus for fiber. Since then I understand they have modified the program to finally recognize that not all calories are handled the same in the body. I don’t know the details, just that the daily allowance is much higher than before but so are the Points values for foods.

Roy is gonna have to (dare I say it) get rid of his TREK uniform cause it’ll be too big. Get a suit Like Davd Tennant (Dr.Who)wore, and Kathy can borrow one of Carolinas’ Dresses… that’ll give ’em something to shoot for.

42 hex is 01000010 binary. Simple, huh?

Yes I admit today’s toon had a high level of meekness.

that should read geekiness. Darn auto correct!!

Surprising fact: 0×42 is equals to 66. By claiming a number as hex, you’ll get more than 50% extra. Sneaky.

To me, hexadecimal is just six characters from 0-9 and A-G (as in #FFFFFF) for colors on the web, not all these calculations.

I always just say the scales are lying

oct 31 = dec 25
