Activity Overview / Details

There is a second part to this riddle. Write it on the board and see if the students can figure out its meaning:

“Let’s say only you and dead people can read hex. If you teach your buddy how to read hex also, what do you all have in common?”

Answer: Together, you are all deaf.

Solution: If DEAD = 57005, then 57005 + you + buddy = 57007, which is DEAF in hexadecimal.
