Very Sexy Dates! The Last Binary Dates of our Lifetime!

Today – 11/10/11 – is one of the two last days in our lifetime that calculates into a binary number!  Tomorrow 11/11/11 will be the last in our lifetime!

Today 10/10/11 converts from binary to decimal as the number 59.  How about that!  However, tomorrow 11/11/11 will not be 60.  No, no!  Too easy!  It will be 63!  How so, you ask?  Well, it’s like this…

Binary counts from right to left as the factors multiply by 2.  To the far right is the one’s column, followed by the two’s column to the left of the one’s column.  With me so far?  The column third from the right is the four’s column followed by the eights’, sixteens’ and thirty-twos’ in that order.

So,

01 = 1

10 = 2

11 = 3

100 = 4

101 = 5

110 = 6

111 = 7

001000 = 8

010000 = 16

100000 = 32

Dig?

Now, go forth and multiply!
