No... saying, "do you 1000101?" is asking, "do you 45?"
Assuming 8-bit bytes:
1000101 = 0100 0101 = 4 5
My response is, "No, Colt 45 does nothing for me."

P.S. I'm feeling REALLY geeky that I'm correcting this post.

1000101 obviously is in nibbles (half bytes) because it is.
so 01 00 01 01 = 10 11 = 2 3
so my answer to "do you 23" is
Yes, I wanna be like Mike!

A nibble (nybble) actually is a half-byte, but a byte is 8 bits, so a nibble is 4 bits, not 2. (Two bits, four bits, six bits, a BYTE... all for Octal, go fly a kite!) Nibbles (4 bits) are used when you're representing a byte in hexadecimal form.
For instance, the original number converted from strict binary representation is:
1000000 = 64
0000100 = 4
0000001 = 1
Which means the original poster was using binary, and not nibble-ized binary, which I had originally assumed.
Hmmm... now I've got binary egg on my face.

P.S. Nibbles and bits... nibbles and bits... I really want my nibbles and bits...
P.P.S. What I really want is to go back and modify my original post so it won't look so brain-dead. Oh well... that's how you the "the fool man" as your nickname.

P.P.P.S. Before anyone corrects my spelling of "nibble," I'm well aware that "nybble" is an equally correct alternate spelling.
