5. what makes you think they are not acidic?

They could be any base higher than two, but then they would be different numbers.
1010 = 10, 30, 68, 130, 222, 350, 520, 738, 1010, 1342, 1740, ...

8. Mission accomplished...I got confused.

If you asked me I would say that this design is false. But that is if I use 0 = 0 and 1 = any whole number. It comes up short by 1 each time.

14. Are they exponents?

16. Na, it is just a convenient way of showing how to add up binary

numbers. A nybble is an infrequently used word that means "half a byte" or 4 bits.
