Show Notes

Segment 0 (00:29)

• Bradley mentioned being a member of ΥΠΕ (aka UPE), the Computer Science Honors Society, and that their year of founding appears on the seal in binary. Bradley was correct about this, but said the wrong year during the show. The year is actually 1967, which is 11110101111. (01:30)
• The Mayan numbering system was actually base 20, which is close enough to 10 that Bradley's point probably isn't valid, and he awaits for the 2, 8 or 16 base culture to be founded. (02:38)
• Bradley mentioned using the NATO alphabet to read off hexadecimal numbers. (05:53)
