This is making me want to see if I can still remember how to work out those little problems of converting binary to alphabets...or something like that. I can't even remember what I was doing with binary numbers in the past!

And here I always thought binary was what you did when you found you didn't have enough nary. I learn something new every day.

A - Binary to decimal. It has been a long time hasn't it? It's like you've been hanging out with little kids. Oh wait...

B - I'm going to send you on a nary hunt. Start with canary.

L - So you're not even going to verify? Nice.
