I see DEAD people

0123456789ABCDEF

hexadecimal has sixteen numerals. Therefore, its place value system, rather than being like this: . . .10^2 10^, 10^0 . 10^-1 10^-2 . . . which is the decimal system we all learned in fifth grade, it looks like this . . . 16^2 16^1 16^0 . 16^-1 16^-2 . . . by 10^[number], I mean "ten to the [number] power" or ten times ten until you're timesing as many tens as you have [number]

So if you had the number 111, that would be one plus ten plus one hundred in decimal (base 10), but in hex it would be 1*16^0 plus 1*16^1 plus 1*16^2 Sixteen to the zeroth power is by definition 1, so you have one, plus sixteen, plus 256, so if you were to convert that to decimal, it would be 273

I get it. Nice puzzle :p

You see 4514 dead people?

So what the hell does that have to do with dead people?

Hexadecimal: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 10
Decimal: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

From this I can spell DEAD, (13,10,14,13).
I think I'll put up a new puzzle tomorrow.

That's a fairly obscure puzzle.

Dude, that was clever, really clever. Your really clever starseeker. Nice one.:) :) :)

I dont understand this at all this makes no sense! *sigh* but was never good at math anyway.

yeh you have a very clever brain starseeker, i can see that you will be a great astrophysicist. :D

dont worry that you dont understand it, it is quite mathematical. the only reason i know it is cause im doin engineering at uni and i learnt it there.

Pretty smurfing smart there. I would have never figured it out.

I think you should go to see the doctor. It's not healthy to live life thinking you have the sixth sense

This was my inspiration.
