Yes I've got that comment before, but I wanted to keep it simple, and also, surprisingly many people who know about hexadecimal don't know about octal. (As I've found out by asking around) :(

I hope you don't mean "asking around" as in broaching this topic to random members of the general public, otherwise your getting invited to cop-off with attractive females mileage has dropped so low, it's come back out with force and speed through some Australian person's ceiling ;-)

No, rather asked around among almost-geeky people who are happy they understood the original joke.
I'm not über-social, but I'm not socially retarded either. (And I'm not expecting "to cop-off with attractive females" through pouët either.)

So why would a modern programmer/windows user know about octal, just because he knows binary/hexadecimal/decimal?

Exactly, that's my point. It's for that reason I decided to omit the number 8 from the joke.

The only thing I learned from this thread is some kinds of people should not be allowed to reproduce.

why does no child use its fingers to count binary? they could count _much_ higher with the binary system O_o

Maybe because it's harder to do addition if you don't have a third hand? (For a kid at least)

which 4-year-old can divide?

I could multiply and divide by 2^x (Within reason) and 10^x when I was 6.

Chuck Norris is a type by himself: he can divide by zero.
