Today is 010111

It’s the dawn of a new year and just like last year, the first day is a big deal for math geeks and numerologists as today brings us a unique take on the date.


January 1, 2011 when translated into binary code is 010111.
That number when translated into decimal is: 23.



Because:
0 = 25 = 0
1 = 24 = 16
0 = 23 = 0
1 = 22 = 4
1 = 21 = 2
1 = 20 = 1
so, 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 23.


You can use this binary converter to check out yourself.
Some says that this will be a good year because 23 is a prime number.

Hmm, let’s just hope so.
Happy New Year everybody!
