Halloween and Christmas

[Camillo]

Computer experts confuse Halloween and Christmas since 31(oct) =25(dec) .
Do you realize why ?

I didn't know that! It was a very funny sign.

I'm sure I've read that on a different website, and this doesn't surprise me.
Anyone reading that probably will write that again somewere else... including me
If you wrote that, next time i'll add your nickname for credits.

There are only [tex]10[/tex] types of people in the world, those who understand binary numbers and those who don't

I found it on Facebook

So x(oct) and x(dec) in computer language are $(x)_8$ and $(x)_10$?

Really funny!

Have you discovered this "game" by yourself or surfing on Internet?

aaaahhh $(31)_8$ becames $3*8 +1=25=2*10+5$ asd! very nice

"fu^2":i don't know the sign $(a)_b$... who can explain it to me?

$(a)_b$ means that $a$ is the representation of a number w.r.t. the base $b$.
For example, $(5)_(10)=(101)_2=(12)_3=(11)_4=(10)_5$.

ROTFL... Very funny indeed!

[Fioravante Patrone1]

Amazing! I noticed later the ambiguity of "oct" and "dec"!!!

Nice! $(31)_8 = (25)_{10}$, so Halloween = Christmas ( = )
