I loved that book so reluctant to see the film. I will wait for your thoughts.Off to the cinema this afternoon to see The Unlikely Pilgramage of Harold Fry.
I’m expecting a commentary called Freesia’s Film FoughtsOff to the cinema this afternoon to see The Unlikely Pilgramage of Harold Fry.
@ColinUK i doubt i could ever be as eloquent or witty as you with a review. I love the tbought of FFF thoughI’m expecting a commentary called Freesia’s Film Foughts
I've not read the book but it had a really good review in the paper by someone who had also read the book. Anything with Jim Broadbent is usually goodI loved that book so reluctant to see the film. I will wait for your thoughts.

Not got a clue what any of that means. I know what HTML is but didn’t know it was colour coded and no idea what 4095 means.Shows what I was doing before I was forcibly retired! I immediately thought "4095"! Anybody else do that? HTML colour codes also came to mind. 🙂
FFF in hexadecimal is the same number as 4095 in decimalNot got a clue what any of that means. I know what HTML is but didn’t know it was colour coded and no idea what 4095 means.
What is it?
Nope. Still don't get it.FFF in hexadecimal is the same number as 4095 in decimal
Numbers are a thing on their own, independent of how we write them. We normally use decimal notation, with positional value, ie, first place is units, second place tens and so on.Nope. Still don't get it.
This is why i work with 4-7 year olds. I don't have to explain this. Very complicated it seems.Numbers are a thing on their own, independent of how we write them. We normally use decimal notation, with positional value, ie, first place is units, second place tens and so on.
Decimal means that we have ten symbols and once you reach the largest value symbol, 9, you roll to the next position.
Hexadecimal is base sixteen, so the first position goes up up to fifteen before rolling over. To represent this we use A for ten, B for eleven and so on. F represents fifteen, so 10hex is 16dec, and FFFhex is 4095dec. To convert FFF to decimal you can do 15 × 16 × 16 + 15 × 16 + 15.
Hexadecimal is used in computing often, as a more compact way of writing binary, which is base two, as sixteen is two to the power of four
It is easier to explain in person, and then isn't that complicated. I still remember the explanation of number bases our year four teacher gave us using objects instead of symbols, it was really inspiring.This is why i work with 4-7 year olds. I don't have to explain this. Very complicated it seems.
