        Cool. Confusing at first, but it makes since now. I made a chart with integers to binary on my own all the way to 60 then stopped. I noticed a kind of pattern. Every digit multiplies the amount of 0’s and 1’s in a row, like the first digit goes 0 then the next one 1 then 0, etc, etc. It’s really cool and fun. Thanks Dr. B.

        Learning binary was cool, and I liked the heart monitor.
