...those who know binary and those who don't.

:D

Sorry. Made me laugh whilst Iw as doing some research for an
essay!

No honestly, I know someone who can read hex (nearly) as
quickly as he can read plain text... it's mad to watch. I
know someone else who can read ROT-13 encrypted text so fast
that it's almost indistinguishable from him reading normal
English.

are we talking about people with autism or something of the
like? i cant imagine anyone of a normal intelligence being
able to process that stuff that fast - ive done hex and oct
and binary in programming and stuff - but i dunno, even the
smartest mathematicians and programmers i know still have a
hard time doing it that fast.

There are 2 types of people, those that know binary and hex
and just get on with their lives and those that have to go
round congratulating each other on having learnt it and
making cringe-inducing "jokes" about it.

The hex guy is a computer lecturer, his area of special
interest is looking at things at disk level. Subsequently,
he spends a lot time looking at hex stuff. Over time he has
come to recognise the hex equivalents for ascii characters
(even I was recognising the common things like .exe, .com
very quickly when I did some work on the subject).

The rot13 guy has just been using the net since the early
days and again, learnt the plaintext equivalents. He
recognises common words in rot13 almost as fast as he would
english ones. Of course, if he encounters a new word (say,
an unusual name) it'll take him a second to look at it
letter by letter, but it doesn't slow him down much.

It's just like base 10, decimal, except you can only use two
symbols. 1 and not 1, otherwise known as 0.

like 23 is '2x10 + 3x1'

10101110 is '1x128 + 0x64 + 1x32 + 0x16 + 1x8 + 1x4 + 1x2 +
0x1'

no, I think you were the only one thinking 'gay code'

graycode is a different counting method.
see if you can see how it is determined. I couldn't figure
it out myself:
decimal, regular binary, and reflective graycode on the far
right:
0 0000 0000
1 0001 0001
2 0010 0011
3 0011 0010
4 0100 0110

6 0110 0101
7 0111 0100
8 1000 1100
9 1001 1101
10 1010 1111
11 1011 1110
12 1100 1010
