i got cadetblue #5F9EA0 on that quiz what's my hex

red: 5F

(5 * 16) + 15 = 95

green: 9E

(9 * 16) + 14 = 158

blue: A0

11 * 16 = 176

anyway sweet jesus thank you for indulging me in my strange enthusiasm for the hexidecimal system. i figured out how it worked WHILE taking a test on it that i hadn’t been prepared for because i had literally slept through all the lessons. it was one of my proudest moments. and it also pretty much sums up how my high school years went. lol

#i...am so tempted to just hijack this ask and explain how the system works #hexa + decimal = 6+10=16?!! so base 16 #so what would be a tens place in the base 10 system is now a 16s place!!#and so you multiply that digit by 16 and add the other number to it #very very very satisfying
