It is today's date and I  purchased some 10mm figures today. Anyone else got any fantastic '10' stories?

101010 is 42 in binary

0 x 1 = 0
1 x 2 = 2
0 x 4 = 0
1 x 8 = 8
0 x 16 = 0
1 x 32 = 32

0 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 32 = 42

I would hope the significance of 42 is self evident... ;)

There are only 10 types of people who understand binary: those that do, and those that don't...

Well done to everyone especially Pete Jones (BKC-CWC-FWC) who started the thread on his own site before I could get there.

TMP got rid of the thread on the same day ...  :o

Of course "validity" is a scholastic Papal heresy....  8)
