Did you just put random 0's and 1's in? That doesn't translate into anything, the number of binaries must be divisible by 8.

That is a bit harsh, Gex. In his reality, the divisor is not eight, but 6 and 9. And who among us, therefore, has the hubris to say that he is wrong?

No, this is not a random sequence at all. I had calculated this value which is a very important number to my self as well as Einstein and the rest of conscious life on the planet...

So I'm sorry if the website you tried to copy & paste the value into told you it has to be divisible by eight but that is because that site is converting the binary to ASCII text not numbers... this is an actually a number.

Try to figure out how to read binary code and calculate it just as I did, then see if you can come up with an answer.

Decimal representation: 186,282
Hexidecimal representation: 2D7AA

What Gex failed to realize is that when a binary string is not the length of a multiple of eight, the remaining values are 0's.

In math, the numbers 025 and 25 are equal, similar to .5 and 0.5.

So the binary number represented here is 000000101101011110101010. This, translated to a decimal value, is 186,282, as comment kid pointed out.
