That one is wrong.

16 is 00010000 in 8bit binary, according to that site it is "00110001 00110110" - why is there a space there?

The letter 'A' is 01000001 which is the same to that site though. Do your age seperately in 8bit binary.

I guess it takes "1" and does that in binary, and then does "6" in binary.

nah because 1 in binary isnt 00110001, its 1.

00110001 is 97 after alot of working out.

Not quite; it's 49.

"00110001 00110110" translate to 49 and 54, respectively, the ASCII codes for the characters "1" and "6."

Just double checked it... and got 49. (left working out)

1*2^0 = 1
0*2^1=0
0*2^2=0
0*2^3=0
1*2^4=16
1*2^5=32
0*2^6=0
0*2^7=0

I can't work out how I got 97 now.
