How is Halloween the same as Christmas?
This problem's question is: How is Halloween the same as Christmas?
Note: this problem is based on English abbreviation puns concerning abbreviation of month names and of number bases. In other words, in some sense, this problem is a joke.
For the those not familiar with these holidays, Halloween occurs on October 31 and Christmas occurs on December 25 of each common era year.
The correct answer is the numeric value being discussed written in binary (base 2) format and then entered character for character in the numeric input box. For example, 28 base 10, in binary, is 11100 base 2. Put 11100 into the numeric value input box, in the case of 28.
The answer is 11001.
