I realised this and thought I had deleted my original post before anyone quited it. Obviously you were typing away when I hit the delete button.

Damn! Foiled again.

0 or 1?

*sign*

Thread title calls for TEN commendements. The last one (number 10 or TEN) was stating that only octal system should be used. Losers who posted commendment #8 are disqualified since there is no digit 8 (or 9) in octal system.

Happy now snaw?

X*8^1+Y*8^0

8^1 is 8, and 8^0 is always 1, so, simplified for retards who took meeedia studies rather than maths:

X*8+Y is the formulae, Y can't be more than 7. So what are X and Y if we need to get 8 out of it? Obviously X is 1 and Y is 0, hence octal number 10 (ten) is decimal 8.

Run your windows calculator in Scientific mode and type 10 while in Octal mode, then switch mode to Decimal and it will be 8.

HTH

Is this the SKA news you were promising us?
