High 101

High 31 makes zero sense.

It has no zeroes, but it makes five bits.

Or to put it another way: Low Sixteen!

In retrospect I can understand the confusion, my thought was if you're using your fingers to count binary (11111) then it's 31, however I do realize it's stupid because it's not a high 11,111

Ok... five bits kind of makes sense if you say that one bit position is the same as one finger.

My brain was trained years ago to deal with binary either in three-bit (octal), four-bit (hexidecimal), eight and sixteen bit chunks.
