We count in 10's cause we have 10 fingers.
If he wants to count in ones chop 9 off.

ROFL !!!

I'd have to leave him with his right middle finger 'cause I've noticed he's
always got it in his right ear when he's thinking up excuses on why he got
it wrong. Or is this the problem ? :-))

Hi folks,

I am trying to teach a young lad how to set up binary addressable fire
alarm
systems and no matter how I explain it, or how much I write it down or
draw
it for him, he just can't seem to grasp the concept. Now I know it is
the
way I'm trying teach him and not the way he learns (?) so I'm looking
for
any suggestions on ways to get this principle over to him.

He's bright when it comes to learning everything else, so it must be the
way
I'm doing it that has him confused. What it the simplest way to
describe
this numbering system. I've even given him homework to do, using the
binary
system to count to one hundred, but he still gets it wrong time and time
again.

He needs to know how the DIP switches are configured in each detector to
give them a unique number on the control panel. But I'm now tearing my
hair
out trying to get it through to him. HELP !!!
