Day 7.306: My bathroom's number is 94

Am I the only person who, when walking into the bathroom and seeing this:


does not think about replacing bulbs or how many lights we actually need or anything about lighting at all, but calculates the decimal and hexadecimal representation of the binary number the bulbs are representing?

Probably.

01011110 = 5E = 94

  1. Q. How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
    A: That's a hardware problem.

    1. Hey... you stole that from the recent Prairie Home Companion Joke Show!!! ;-)

      Best LB punchline: "One, but the light bulb's got to want to change."

      Oh and some (older, even geekier) people think in 8080 opcodes.

      0x5E is "MOV E, M". I just looked it up.
