Binary

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
This was the sentence that Mr. John and Robin wanted us to put in binary. Basically the whole thing is a joke, yet I did not figure that out until after I finished writing out the whole sentence in binary. Anyways, the part that says "there are 10 types of people in this world" refers to our decimal system as the number 10 is our base number. Binary is how the computer communicates and only has zero's and one's. The binary system is based off of the base number 2. I understand binary and appreciate what our computers are able to do as it would take me a year to figure out a paragraph in binary.
