Where No Man Has Gone Before
Today’s comic was greatly inspired by a joke a friend of mine told me at work. It went something like this:
Person 1: I have a new girlfriend. She´s 90-60-90…
Person 2: She’s purple?
I also found almost the exact same joke on Bash, if you want to read that instead.
I actually didn’t know hexadecimal when I was a kid. Well, I mean, I knew THIS hexadecimal, but that’s not the same. I would edit hex frequently though, in Hex Workshop. Sometimes it was to cheat in a game, sometimes it was just to remove a watermark. All I knew was that I had to change those “weird numbers and letters.”
As for being a Cock Doctor, I’m not sure any child aspires to that particular job. But if I was a teacher, and a student handed in a test with a penis on it, I would give them an A+. Who needs math when you can draw like that?
Have to say I would have written 98b797 as the answer to the second one.
i actually had that originally, because i did
(hex) number one +
(hex) number two
however, Sopes said F2235 is actually the right answer, because his initial thought was
(dec) number one +
(dec) number two
(convert answer to hex)
i assumed the majority of other viewers would think like him, so i went with his suggestion instead. so tell me, are you a software developer? because you seem to think like me.
Yes, and so of course if I had a column of numbers then there’s a fighting chance they’d all be in hex. And anyway, I wouldn’t change the base anyway if I could help it.
Let me pretend the 9 is a 6 then maybe I could have written
332545 + 656252 = 1210017
but maybe that’s a bit too old school!
