What is your % Battery Status in Hexadecimal?

Well, the easiest number to convert is 0. 0 = 0. There, I converted a number! (and played along).

However, something tells me, telling him the battery status of an uncharged, backup phone, I didn't look at, isn't exactly what he wants.

Where, even if it had a 'surface charge' or I charged it some, after looking at it, it might be a number less than 9%, but, even 9% is 9%.

It would be cool to be the first one to say, it had A% charge, which I could do. lol. a little silly, tho. :)

Just stop typing, I want your battery level out of 0x64.

5 so it gets rid of the complexities

43%

My number system goes to eleven.

... what is it? Can you please explain

its base 16, computer scientists use it because its easier to read and remember than the longer binary (base-2). Hex is also used in colour codes for similar reasons

LOL 76%

2^4 = 16, where that is the same as asking 4 (Yes/no) binary questions, for each storage unit, and the math can be added up, after taking the smallest amount of color contribution to it.

I wonder what the 4 binary based questions would be hypothetically, giving 16 possible answers, and then stretching that out to get the 4k resolution, or so. I could do this, in theory, with 16*16*16 = 4096 color possibilities of information = 1000 in hexidecimal.

I can imagine 3 color based yes/no, questions, as follows:
1. Add Red element? (Yes/no).
2. Add Green element? (Yes/no).
3. Add Blue element? (Yes/no).

That's where each combination of the 3 question answers, totals 8 possible answers, because 2^3 = 8.

That makes me wonder what the 4th question could be?

It could be: Make it Brighter? (Yes/no).

Idk, in reality how they do it - but, this way seems reasonable.

But, is this right? Just 16^3 data information for each pixel, per refresh rate?
