I did it by hand, it's not that hard when you look at the spacing. There's one word that's painfully obvious in that sentence

level 10 was kind of an obscure reference. It wasn't what I first thought it was

Yeah, I'm working on it now. Any tips?

I was gonna try to solve it for hand, but it's just too much work. LOL.

Exactly. I'm too busy watching football to do that by hand :D.

The number of bits, that is...

It's just not showing the leading 0's.

It's not binary. Notice the emphasized words.

I obviously noticed that... This encoding scheme uses 8 bits per character...
edit: even without the leading zeros it doesn't make any sense.

Uh... No. The numbers are in decimal, not binary.

101 isn't binary? Why can I type in 101 into calculator for windows using binary, change it to decimal and come up with a value of 5?

I was referring to 12. If Raynor was referring to 4, then I made the mistake.

I finally figured it out..

Keep in mind that you're not converting the entire number. Remember the spaces.
