Marvel TPB Ripoff?

Where does the number 10 come in, as in 10 people in the world understand it?

 

In binary, each digit position represents a value of 2. You go from right to left so the first digit is 2 raised to the zero power, the second digit is 2 raised to the first power, the third digit is 2 raised to the fourth power and so on. Everything is in twos.

 

In the case of the "10" you are asking about, it works like this:

0 is in the first position so that is 2 raised to the zero power. This equals 0.

1 is in the second position so that is 2 raised to the first power. This equals 2.

 

Then you add it together to get the number you are looking for: 2 + 0 = 2.

 

The 10 on the T-Shirt is binary for 2.

 

 

You're right except 2^0 doesn't = 0. 2^0 = 1.

 

Basically, take whatever number is in the position (in this case 0) and multiply it by 2^i where i is the position that the number is in. Thus 0 * 2^0 = 0 and 1 * 2^1 = 2 and then 0+2 = 2.

Typing too fast. There is a zero in the first posiotion so you do not raise the 2. That will teach me to answer a post like that at work!

Is this the most off topic thread ever posted?

I'm still cheesed - 4 issues! I still coulda bought all 4 for less...

 

if each issue is $3, and you buy all 4 that = $12

 

TPB is $10.99

 

savings of $1.01 (excluding tax)

 

 

But isn't Ultimate X-men a $2.25 book??
