Hi Tom! :-)

 PS>> Nope, 2^0 + ... + ... + 2^9 = 1023.
 TW>  he forgot ZERO was a Number???
Huh? Counting on fingers, you don't need to represent 0 specially. Just
don't hold up any finger. ;) But - with 10 bits/fingers, you need the first
finger for 2^0 = 1 and then of course the highest bit/finger has the value
2^9 = 512.
