Am I dense, or is the binary not 31? 31 in binary is 11111. What’s in your post is not even binary coded decimal, as the leading zeros would seem to indicate, since there are two extra 3′s. I feel like I’m missing something.
No, you aren’t being dense. I used the first binary calculator I found on the net to change 31 into binary, and either I entered 31 into it incorrectly or it was just flat out wrong for some reason. Thanks again, and fixed again.
Okay, this is silly, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what that number and those systems of representation are.
You get points for being confused by fiction!
Base 10, binary, and roman numerals—in that order. (The number is 341)
EDIT: the base 10 number was wrong, it’s 31.
But Roman numerals for 341 would be CCCXLI, surely? XXXI is 31.
...and this is why I should type numbers on a numpad. It’s supposed to be 31. Thanks
The binary is also not 341.
Yep, it should be 31. Thanks. (see my comment to Alicorn’s post above, and my comment below… sheesh, this is a lesson in double checking things)

0011001100110001 in ASCII is “31”.
Aha! here’s the converter used the first time.

Three possibilities:
You’re too dumb to notice the obvious,
I don’t get jokes, or:
I’m too dumb to even notice the puzzle.
I feel a recursive loop coming on… YEEEAAAAARGH!
