Why computer geeks always confuse Halloween with Christmas.

It's quite simple.

31 Oct = 25 Dec

+1 man... guess I'm not geek enough to understand... LOL

31 in the "Octal" [base 8] number system = 25 in the "Decimal" [base 10] number system. Hence, Oct 31 = Dec 25.

This is very clever - I was a math teacher for many years but had never heard it before.

Argh, Ed. You killed the joke.

It should be 31 OCT (octal) = 25 DEC (decimal)

And it's a programmers' joke, not a geek one

 

[rngrdanny22]

Holy crap... I was right... I would have NEVER put that together... LOL


Nice one though!

There's a difference?

Nope.

Programmers can be geeks but geeks cannot program necessarily.
