/Oh Binary (Oh Blimey)!/


After some swift explanation from our instructor in IT, our class started preparing for our upcoming lab exercise. The movements were normal.

But nothing was normal no more when Ma’am announced that we’re going to have a group exercise. To make matters worse, it was going to be a quiz con. And more horrifying was that it would revolve around number systems.

Overloaded whammy. Firstly, I do not work well in groups. Secondly, quiz cons are not my thing. Thirdly, I do not like binary numbers, let alone number systems. However, the fact that without them, information cannot be stored in computers just amazes me. Basically, the binary number system is the language of computers.


To cut the story short, our group did not get the highest score—heck, we were in the bottom. But it did not matter to me—the loss, I guess—because it challenged me to do better next time. I searched for some number systems exercises to prepare for the upcoming exam. I hope it would do me good. I’m still trying to work my way around it.
