Hexadecimal Jokes

1)
If only dead people understand hexadecimal, how many people understand hexadecimal?

2)
3x12 = 36
2x12 = 24
1x12 = 12
0x12 = 18
Get it?

Lolwut

Hö? What kind of joke should it be?

What´s the solution for 1) and 2) then?

1) None.
2) 1x12 = 12

2) 1x12 = 12

1) Wrong, maybe try again?
2) How is ..., 1x12 = 12 and 0x12 = 18?

1) Dead Hackers
2)
3x12 = 36
2x12 = 24
1x12 = 12
0x12 = 18

That's the joke. But it isn't very funny....
The first three lines are interpreted as decimal multiplication, but in the last, "0x" signals the Hexadecimal interpretation of "12", which is 18.

1) Wrong
2) Right

Then maybe 0x00 I don't know xD

"dead" people is one specific amount.

Yes, it´s hexadecimal:
DEAD = 57005

Very funny

Common patterns and humor
For more details on this topic, see Hexspeak.
Hexadecimal is sometimes used in programmer jokes because some words can be formed using hexadecimal digits. Some of these words are "dead", "beef", "babe", and with appropriate substitutions "c0ffee". Since these are quickly recognizable by programmers, debugging setups sometimes initialize memory to them to help programmers see when something has not been initialized.
An example is the magic number in Universal Mach-O files and java class file structure, which is "CAFEBABE". Single-architecture 32-bit big-endian Mach-O files have the magic number "FEEDFACE" at their beginning. "DEADBEEF" is sometimes put into uninitialized memory. Microsoft Windows XP clears its locked index.dat files with the hex codes: "0BADF00D". The Visual C++ remote debugger uses "BADCAB1E" to denote a broken link to the target system.
Two common bit patterns often employed to test hardware are 01010101 and 10101010 in binary (their corresponding hex values are 55h and AAh, respectively). The reason for their use is to alternate between off ('0') to on ('1') or vice versa when switching between these two patterns. These two values are often used together as signatures in critical PC system sectors (e.g., the hex word, 0xAA55, which on little-endian systems is 55h followed by AAh, must be at the end of a valid Master Boot Record).
The following table shows a joke referencing hexadecimal:
3x12 = 36
2x12 = 24
1x12 = 12
0x12 = 18
The first three lines are interpreted as decimal multiplication, but in the last, "0x" signals the Hexadecimal interpretation of "12", which is 18.
Another joke based on the use of a word containing only letters from the first six in the alphabet (and thus those used in hexadecimal) is...
If only dead people understand hexadecimal, how many people understand hexadecimal?
In this case, "dead" refers to a hexadecimal number DEAD (57005 base 10), as opposed to the state of being deceased.
A Knuth reward check is one hexadecimal dollar, or $2.56.
[edit]Primary numeral system
Similar to dozenal advocacy, there have been occasional attempts to promote hexadecimal as the preferred numeral system. These attempts usually propose pronunciation and/or symbology.[14] Sometimes the proposal unifies standard measures so that they are multiples of 16.[15][16][17]
An example of unifying standard measures is Hexadecimal time, which subdivides a day by 16 so that there are 16 "hexhours" in a day.[17]

nice copy and paste

XD yeah from Wikipedia But I also have looked to understand why it is 0x12=18

-.- I thought you knew it.

Hehe Earlier or later I would have knew it myself. Isn't so difficult but without the information you will need more time
Heres another one:

copy and paste easy for n00bs to read and say ohhhhhhhh

No, I have made it myself. Look, you will not find it anywhere

Hello! I am pretty young to know Hex...
Know here is some words you can make with hex!

i didnt cheat at all and sry if i got off topic!
I learned it myself when i maked codes and im below 16 years old!
