Geek Riddles and Jokes

January 14, 2004

If you don't get these jokes, then you aren't a geek, which is not a good thing.

I.E "SELECT * FROM readers WHERE clue > 0"

1. There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
2. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
3. Shakespeare: "/(bb|[^b]{2})/"
4. How many people can read hex if only you and dead hex readers can read hex?

If you don't understand any of these, highlight just below this line and drag down.

1. 1. "10" is 2 in binary. Technically, it should look like: "00000010".
2. 2. 127.0.0.1 is the Home IP address.
3. 3. Hamlet to be specific it says: "To be or not to be"
4. 4. Answer: 57006 (explanation below)
5. Fun With HEXADECIMAL
   D = 13 -- 16^3=4096 -- 13 *4096 = 53248
   E = 14 -- 16^2=256 -- 14*256 = 3548
   A = 10 -- 16^1=16 -- 10*16 = 160
   D = 13 -- 16^0=1 -- 13*1 = 1
   53248+3548+160+1+1(you)=57006
