When written, binary numerals should be subscripted, prefixed or

For example, you should have written:

"There are 10b kinds of people in this world. Those who
understand binary, and those who don't."

Maybe you should put down your bible comics and pick up a science book. ;-)

Hmmm,
Binary is the only number logical and computer understands.


Binary is the only thing *binary*logic* understands (tautology alert).
"Computers" may be Octal, Hexadecimal, Base 64, or even decimal (or a load of
others).

11/01/11 is 67 Octal then ?


No, but 110111 Binary may be represented as 67 Octal or 37 Hexadecimal.
