Postscript to Experiment 010

Part of the solution to the question in my last post, 101101₂ in binary is 45₁₀ in decimal notation. Also, David solved (2^11-5^2), which is 2¹¹ - 5², and becomes 2048 - 25, which equals 2023, when I become 45. My previously shared mileage (100,000) is also my current age (32) in binary (100000₂). I chose 2048 CE because my 2003 Chevy Cavalier will then be 45, so 25 is the difference in our ages. Occasionally, I have fun with math and creep out myself a little.
