IT Dojo pop quiz answers: Hexadecimal basics
True or False: Hexadecimal values can use the numbers 1 through 10 and the letters A, B, C, D, E and F.
The correct answer is: False and 56 percent of those who answered the question got it right, as shown in Figure B. Of this quiz's five questions, this one was probably the trickiest. As the answer to Question 1 indicates, hexadecimal systems most often use the symbols 0-9 to represent zero to nine and A, B, C, D, E, and F to represent ten through fifteen. However, it's true that using symbols 1-10 and A, B, C, D, E, and F do give you 16 values. I'll admit there might be a little room for interpretation of the question's wording. If you answered True and can make a good case for the answer, I might reconsider and mark your answer correct.
