> Mine is fully charged at 64%
Wow it's pretty interesting, this thread.
I don't know if it works for 64 as well (although it fits nicely with chess of course,)
because the thing is percent comes from "Per cent" as in, "Per 100."
As cent usually means 100.
or in the case of a penny, 1/100.
So 100 percent is like -- 100 for 100.
>Percent is from the Latin adverbial phrase per centum meaning “by the hundred.” The Latin phrase entered English in the 16th century. Later, it was abbreviated per cent.
So, it's just there's not a word that means "64" exactly.
When language meets math...

I looked it up. There is 16 bit CYMK color, look here.

And, apparently, 32 bit CYMK color is just that 16 bit CYMK color with binary depth to it.
