Nerd Riddles

There are only 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

If only you and dead people can read hex, how many people can read hex?
Answer below the fold.
How many people can read hex? 57006 people.
For the non-nerds, dead is hexadecimal (base 16) notation, and equivalent to 57005. If DEAD (57005) people and you can read hex, that makes 57006 people. Typically, though, it would be written as 0xDEAD, so that you knew it was hex, but that would ruin the joke. Funny stuff, huh?
No?
Yeah, well, I thought it was funny.
