Whoa. Just realized it's 42 in binary and that it was the last number in the LOST famous number sequence.

Because you're wrong. LOL
what is 42 in binary - Google Search
Edit: I guess technically we're both right.

^ Doesn't work for me. I used this one: TRANSLATOR, BINARY
Edit: I'll take you're word for it anyway. I hate math.

Ok, so let me get this straight: 101010 represents the decimal number 42, but 0011010000110010 represents the actual string "42" (i.e. 4 and 2 separately)?
Typed "42" into the decimal box:
Typed "42" into the dec/char box:
And typed "42" into the text box (note the space in the middle):
And for the record, typing "0011010000110010" into the binary box gives this:
Ok, seems to make sense now. Feel free to clarify if I've missed something.

Yup, right on the money.
Each digit in a binary number equals either 0 or 1, times 2 raised to a power. The rightmost digit always starts at 2 raised to the 0 power (2^0) which is decimal value 1. Then the next digit is 2^1 (decimal value 2), then the next is 2^2 (decimal value 4), etc.
So 101010 = (1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0) = 32 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 42
Also, decimal value for ASCII "4" is 0011 0100, and for ASCII "2" is 0011 0010, like you said.
The actual ASCII character for decimal value 42 is the wildcard character *.
Thx. *nerdsnort*

I just realized that I missed it.
I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow. *cue appropriate Hendrix tune*
