0 grey cells Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) I am Not giving up. I will not use a spoiler this time , maybe a spoiler is difficult to open . Decimal : 2 Binary: 2 Bits : 10 4 bits : 0010 8 bits : 00000010 OK now use this in the sequence(For numbers having more than 4 bits naturally , i.e. , after 15 (or) 1111). Hey ! I have created a record of sorts in the den. I have posted more than half of the replies in my topic . Sounds great , isn't it?
