Lets see who can get this right, please answer the poll before you read for a possible answer in the thread

What of these 5 is out of place, meaning 4 are the same and 1 is not.
 
Ok, for those that have given answers, why did you pick what you did? You knew you had the right answer (possibly), you guessed...? And with 13 people reading, why have only 2 given answers? Common people its just a fun little thing.
 
maybe you didn't make the thread clear..i didn't get what your talking abt, 5 out of the place....so i just guessed 10...that like square root. - latuh
 
well.. i didn't vote.. but i guess the answer :P i think that i know the answer but prefer to wait for the answer to come to see if i'm right :P
 
common scuba, just enter your vote. There are 5 to chose from, 4 are the same exact thing (there is a logical answer) and 1 is just a random thing i threw in there. :)
 
It’s gotta be a trick question, because A is too obvious—unless you took this off a test for really low-functioning retards. But I voted ‘A’ cuz my coffee still hasn’t kicked in and it’s the only thing I can think of. :dunno:

Oh, wait—now I see a possible clue:

There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't

No trick question, i gave enough answers where i'm guessing someone will see a pattern, and if you wanna take my new sig as a clue, then do so, hopefuly it will help someone. I will post the answer tonight after i get done bowling. I've sent the appropriat # of pm's to the people, or person that has correctly answered the question. Good luck to all the rest that answer before i get home at 9:30 pm centeral time.
 
*scratching my head*.....

Err, I am pretty confused here with the clue and the 5 polls :ugh: ....I voted ' A ' because, simply I'm an Angelish Blonde!...

Theoretically, all are even numbers, except 7.

But what about the ‘A’? ‘A’ is not the answer, because Megladon didn’t PM me. ‘A’ is not an even number, unless you’re referring to some form of numerical notation that I’m not familiar with. I think it might have something to do with hexadecimal to binary conversion, and I’m thinking 12 is the answer, but I can’t quite prove it yet.
 
OK—I’m gonna say that the answer is 12 because 12 is the only one which occupies more than four bits of memory, which is the same as saying that it is the only one which cannot be represented by a single hexadecimal digit. This is assuming that 10 is actually the binary number 0010, not the decimal number 10. If that’s not the answer, then I give up. My head hurts.
 
Megladon tried to explain "binary" to me last night, and in my slow and tired state of mind i told him to be quiet and go to bed. Im wishing I listened. :) Anyways I think its either 12 or 7, solely based on the fact he said 1 + 1 = 01, so 1 + 2 = 101, (I'm reaching out on a limb here!!) so im gonna go with 7 after I post this.

binary means having 2 numbers. For example: 23 32 15 21 66 21 65
there is "trinary"
trinary means having 3 numbers. For example: 432 654 345 765 345 345

The numbers in the question are: 10, 1010, 12, 7, A.
Hence, we have 2 single digits, 2 binary digits, 1 4 digits
If the answer is not A; then, the answer must be 1010 because its digits are 4 places which puts 1010 out of place.

No, you got it all wrong. Megladon isn’t talking about ‘binary’ in the sense of having two digits. What he was trying to explain to our befuddled pinkster last night was the principles of arithmetic operation in binary code, or base 2—the mathematical model by which semiconductor gates and switches work. I’m almost positive that my answer is right, and even if it isn’t I’m convinced that I’m on the right track because ‘A’ is the tenth digit in the hexadecimal (base 16) ordinal sequence. On the other hand, an easier solution would be to follow pinkster’s lead and just tell Megladon to shut up and go to bed. :dizzy:
