Hi Todd,

But how do you know '01010101' in binary is 85 in decimal?  Show us the
process you're "doing by hand"  to find that out.  That may help you write
a program to do the same thing.

(People have already started showing you Python builtins that will
automagically do the base conversion, but is that what you're looking
for?)
