36 24 26

hehehe

[cruelpupet]

THS what base are you writing in?

[ironchef]

no, no, no.. it's 36 24 36

i want lots of pretty chicks!

;)

[ironchef]

btw, someone give a quick refresher on binary stuff? it's been too long for me feeble mind..

[The Happy Squirrel]

binary?
can you count in binary?

heres your key
a = 01100001
z = 01111010


just fill in the middle


and yes i wasnt writing in a base
i was just eluding to the female dimensions

[ironchef]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. geeez, now i see..

so it's 8 digits per character (duh, chef)
each 8-digits represents a number in the ascii chart (which chef of course forgets.. a=64?)

now for the counting.. if i remember right..

01100001 = 0*2^0+1*2^1+1*2^2 etc. is this correct?

[cruelpupet]

you have it reversed....

01110101 ='s

1 * 2^0
+
0 * 2^1
+
1 * 2^2
+
0 * 2^3
+
1 * 2^4
+
1 * 2^5
+
1 * 2^6
+
0 * 2^7
_________
= 117

[cruelpupet]

A = 65d, 41h
B = 66d, 42h
X = 88d, 58h
y = 89d, 59h
Z = 90d, 5Ah


a = 97d, 61h
b = 98d, 62h
y = 121d, 79h
z = 122d, 7Ah
