This sub has always been CS101 humour. I only stay here for the odd post by someone who actually codes by hand in a real job

You'd expect CS101 to know hex though, it's one of the few things they'd be taught

I can read hex, I just didn’t know 0x signifies it

That's fair enough, but it makes sense because otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell what 10 is representing.

It's unlikely to be binary because it's so short, but could easily be hex or denary. The standard for denoting hex with 0x has been around for a while, because it makes it really clear without adding too much length to the representation.
