    I think you mean 01 not 10. 01 is bin for 2.

      No, 10 is binary for 2.

      Think about this for a second... If 01 was binary for 2, then 00 would be binary for 1 and then what would zero be?

[reply]
        0000 = 0
        1000 = 1
        0100 = 2
        1100 = 3
        0010 = 4


        Now lets not get into a endian war, I knew someone would bite. =)

        edited: oops mistyped the bits for 4.
