PS - I wonder if a Binary 101 course would be called a Binary 5 course?

Just read “101 Things You Didn’t Know About Binary”. Much shorter than I expected. And they were right about all 5.

I signed up for Binary 101…
but it turned out to be a level 5 course.
Corny, but I’m still proud of myself.

I wanted to take the Learning Binary 101 class, but they said I had to complete the four other courses first.

“Binary 101” is actually the fifth class you take in it.

I’m attending my first class in binary, “Binary 101”, which means I’ve missed the first four lessons.
