    One of my favorite bits teaching Hex Ed was writing it on the board and saying it out loud:

    0 - Zero
    1 - One
    2 - Two
    3 - Three
    4 - Four
    5 - Five
    6 - Six
    7 - Seven
    8 - Eight
    9 - Nine
    A - Ten
    B - Eleven
    C - Twelve
    D - Thirteen
    E - Fourteen
    F - Fifteen

    It is so hard writing the letter and saying the number.

    I used to love the old riddle

    if only you and dead people could read hex, how many people can read hex?

    I married the first person that answered it correctly… well married in an MMORPG.
