Joel,

How many points do I get for...
32 bits = DW
16 bits = WD
8 bits = byte
4 bits = nybble
2 bits = quarter!
[2/10] from: kenneth:nwinet at: 18-Jun-2001 22:37
...or...
1 bit = twice shy!

No, $0.0625... gotcha! ;-)

Hi, Ken, check your calculator...

If
2 bits = a quarter = $0.25
then
1 bit = half a quarter = $0.125

but once bitten, TWICE shy. aha!
So shy = bit / 2
You must be using NPR! ;-)) (hint, I'm going for three.)

shy: "$.0625" ; == "$.0625"
random shy ; == "0$526."

You've been assuming that SAME? BIT BIT instead of EQUAL? BIT BIT ,
which won't be true until REBOL/Core 17.9.2 (according to the
secret internal memo accidentally RIMed to me from Holger's hard
drive...

Oh well, no triple crown for me, baby!
They're not a bit shy... about playing... I.C.
But I wouldn't want to beat a dead horse, baby!
Too bad 'e didn't take a nybble out of that Reverse RPN.
It might have been a bit, ter sweet moment... yeah baby!
Although it could 'ave been a bit, much.

Fang says he switch the bit for the real bit behind the picture!

This is such a great language to play with!
