Number Mode
In Number Mode, you'll have to reach a certain number of correct conversions within the time limit. Your score is the time it takes you to reach the target number of correct conversions.
Understanding Binary
Binary is a base-2 number system used in computing. It consists of only two digits: 0 and 1. Here's a quick guide to binary counting:
- Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2
- The rightmost digit represents 2^0 (1), the next 2^1 (2), then 2^2 (4), 2^3 (8), and so on
- To convert binary to decimal, sum the values of each '1' digit
- For example, 1010 in binary is 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10 in decimal
Practice makes perfect! The more you play, the better you'll become at quick binary-decimal conversions.
