Today, we learned a more in depth meaning of binary digits (bits). See my title, can you "crack the code" and figure out what it says. It's okay if you don't, I'll tell you. It says "Binary Digits", yes, that's right, that long chain of numbers spells out only those few letters. Well, when you know that one of those 8 digit chains only makes one letter, it sort of makes sense. We didn't do anything else today except learn about writing with bits. After we learned it, we were assigned to crack Mr. Arkin's blog post, which was written only in bits. After a long times of decoding, me and my partner - Ziyi, finally figured out what it was. It was:

ASCII Rules!
Today, my students learnt some binary arithmetic.
They can now count in binary!

There's was no homework today. I'm so happy, well of course there's this blog posting thing, but other than this I'm good to go. At least for ICS I am.
