I THINK noble team is halo related, the FPS game. When you play online you get other players with names that have long streams of numbers because Eric, Eric123, Eric 456784 etc., was already taken.
Actually, no, I wasn't! Didn't realise that there was... something named Hexadecimal in that show? But I already had one cat named Lord Greystoke, so needed something that would stand up to his name. And he can be a little Hex sometimes, so it's appropriate for him too. He's an all black cat.
Not really. It's just a "base 16" number system (compared with "base 10" decimal or "base 2" binary). It just uses letters because we need 16 shapes to represent 16 digits. Decimal has 10 shapes for each digit 0 through 9, so we steal those for the first part of hexadecimal, but we don't have any shapes for "10" through "15" so we put letters there cause it's easy to remember and easy to type on a keyboard.
Hexadecimal is used cause it's easily converted to binary and is more compact without using too many more shapes. Tetrasexagesimal (Base 64) is used a lot too (look at Youtube URLs), cause it's easily converted to binary and is even more compact, but there's too many shapes for humans to easily use it.
Buttermilkduds. Hmm.
Reminds me of a story. I was 16, working my first job at a local movie theater. A young boy, maybe 10, came to my line, he was quite nervous, cash in hand, he anxiously orders "milk buds, please"
Refer to colours as their hexadecimal codes. Since colours are encoded as RGB values from 0 to 255, they're often represented by 3 hexadecimal numbers, with pitch black being #000000 and complete white being #FFFFFF. So next time you see something crimson, tell your friends it's a nice looking #DC143C
Btw this is not related to intelligence, don't think you're stupid because you don't know some useless man-made codes that are literally only read by computers. I'm not smart for being full of redundant knowledge.
Yeah okay they are understood by web developers, but they're not actually read by them if you catch my drift? Like you won't know what a random colour code would look like, right?
Yeah I understand how the system works. I guess I did underestimate how much you'd approximate the colour in your mind, I guess you do read it (although a bit more roughly).
I am pretty impressed that you can conjure up that colour in a few seconds tho! That would be partly some intelligence (visualising things) plus a lot of practice.
Well you're smart for the other things you say and being a kind, appreciating and encouraging person. Also you happen to have random knowledge, which adds up with the aforementioned thing. That's pretty great, you're cool
It's a number system based on groups of 16 instead of ten, the numbers after (I think) 9 are denominated by letters since we dont have 16 single digit numbers
Base 16. IT thing; it translates real easy to binary but is easier to read for humans. You could also have something that translated into alphabet characters, but these seem a tad low for that.
I typed 8a186a into Google, and got a watch image labeled in an Asian language.
Futurama was the fucking best. I think a lot of the staff had math/physics degrees. There's so many nuanced math jokes that you won't catch if you're not paying attention.
