0% scored higher (more nerdy),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!
There are enough nerds out there ensure that at least one retook the test until he got the maximum nerd-value.

Today I got a clock like this: http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/store/assets/images/product/binclo/binclo_lg.jpg
I must surely get some extra points for that?
It's currently 10101:101111 o'clock. 😛
What time is it in the picture? I can't get it... 😕
Edit to the edit: One has to read it from left to right top to bottom?

Originally posted by adam warlockThe standard mode is quite weird. It's sort of a combination of decimal and binary - the decimal digits are translated to binary each on its own. Very unintuitive and rather meaningless in my opinion, but luckily it's possible to run it in true binary, too. In the mixed system, the two columns on the left are the hours (first digit on the left, read the number from top to bottom), the two columns in the middle are the minutes, and the two on the right the seconds. So the time on that picture is 2:08:54. The true binary system is much simpler - the top row isn't used, and then you have the hours in the first used row, minutes in the second and seconds in the third.

(even though reading it as distances and not as 0/1's could work to some extent)

Originally posted by PalynkaWell, I have a row that goes up to 59 in binary because I use it that way. I am not fluent at it yet, but I don't think it will take longer to learn to read it fluently that way than it would be in the awkward decimal-binary system.

Originally posted by NordlysAh, yes. I just noticed that it only takes 6 digits to write 59 in binary. I thought it was more...
