In honor of 11/11/11, I have done some pretty awesome calculations that will blow your mind!
(Before we begin, I should mention that if you don't forward this to at least 110101101 people, a giant monster will crawl out from under your desk and eat you.)
Now, this isn't the first binary day we've had this year (although it will be the last). We have had 9 this year--keep that number in mind, it's important!
Here are all the binary days this year:
01/01/11
01/10/11
01/11/11
10/01/11
10/10/11
10/11/11
11/01/11
11/10/11
11/11/11
Gosh golly gee, lots of zeroes and ones, am I right? But what do those numbers equal in regular old base ten?
010111 = 23
011011 = 27
011111 = 31
100111 = 39
101011 = 43
101111 = 47
110111 = 55
111011 = 59
111111 = 63
Notice a pattern? I sure did! The numbers go up by 4 between the days within a month. E.g., 23 + 4 = 27. 27 + 4 = 31. When you jump a month (from 01 to 10 or 10 to 11) you go up by 8 (31 + 8 = 39; 47 + 8 = 55). Remember the 4 and the 8!
For the actual dates, it goes 9 days, then 1 day. What I mean by that is there are 9 days between 01/01 and 01/10. Then it's one day for 01/10 and 01/11. Same for the other months as well. Remember the 1!
Now let's add the numbers! 23 + 27 + 31 + 39 + 43 + 47 + 55 + 59 + 63 = 387. Adding up the digits for 387 is 3 + 8 + 7 = 18. 1 + 8 = 9. WOW! Remember I told you to remember the 1? And the 8? And the 9? THEY KEEP POPPING UP HOW MYSTERIOUS.
I also told you to remember the 4. So lets add all those numbers up: 1 + 4 + 8 + 9 = 22. Multiply that by 2, just for the hell of it. You get 44.
GUESS HOW MANY DAYS IT IS UNTIL CHRISTMAS?!?
