1) Why do nerds always confuse Halloween and Christmas?



....because Oct 31 = Dec 25


2) There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't

 

actually... Oct 31 = Dec 25

 

... which are the correct dates too...

 

Haha. Oooops!! yeah, that's what I meant...

 

OMG those were sooooo bad!

Even worse, I understood them.

And the worst part, I thought they were funny

 

I don't get it...help me

 

lol, your not nerdy enough Incubus....

 

Trust me, that's not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all.

Oct 31 = Dec 25:
31 in octal (that's base 8 numbers) is equal to 3 * 8^1 + 1 * 8^0 = 25 in decimal (base 10 numbers, the type we are used to seeing).

As for the second one, the binary (that's base 2 numbers) represantation of 2 (decimal) is "10" (1 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0).
