But in all seriousness, that's pretty awesome. I'm not mathematically inclined, but I it's amazing how much we use it on a day to day basis without realizing it.
I'm not mathematically inclined at all, and I lose my shit when you throw numbers in with it all.. but I like working through the logic behind it.

I'm still finding it hard to work out how to do it in my head without switching it to decimal and then back again, but I only learned that it was even a thing last night so I'm sure that part will sort itself out.

I did wake up this morning knowing what my phone number was in hexadecimal after working it out in my sleep.. which is slightly disturbing.
