    Took a while to get there - but got it right. Happy 7DC to all

    Thank You, nice one.

    Took a while, but it was easy. 2011%16 > 1, there was just one answer.

    Now I wait three weeks for the beginning of the year of dragon.

    Get it in your head .. hmm I had to take off my shoes and socks so I could continue counting on both my fingers and toes ... Oh well

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    Fun, but maybe a bit too easy, as 2000 is 125*16 it's obvious that the base 16 string for 2011 ends in B and only one of the four options ended in B.

    Probably most of us are used to hex (and octal and binary) notations - it would have been a bit more challenging to try a different base (say base 9 or base 11).

    I had an unfair advantage on this one: I was 16 years a system programmer on IBM /360. Converting a hex number into decimal brought some fond memories. (I was young and I thought I knew it all.)
